Direct access to a fairyland—ancient people were not exaggerating, this mountain in Anhui is absolutely amazing…

Super practical guide for visiting Tianzhu Mountain⛰ Who knows! The aftereffects of climbing Tianzhu Mountain are really intense, and the sea of clouds at the summit is breathtaking. No wonder it’s called the "Number One Mountain in Southern Anhui"✨

🚩Recommended itinerary
It is suggested to spend 1-2 days exploring👇

Day 1: Hiking to the summit route
Start from the South Gate of Tianzhu Mountain → Zhenyi Ridge → Mysterious Valley → Tianchi Peak (main peak) → Penglai Peak → Qinglong Back → Liandan Lake
For descending, you can choose the cable car (Dalongwo Cable Car💰80 RMB) or walk down

Must-visit spots:
➡ Tianchi Peak: The main peak of Tianzhu Mountain at an elevation of 1488.4 meters, with an ultra-wide view at the summit and a 360-degree unbeatable viewing platform
➡ Mysterious Valley: A very interesting natural granite cave group that requires using both hands and feet to pass through
➡ Liandan Lake: The third largest high mountain flat lake in China, where the lake and mountain scenery complement each other beautifully

📌Useful Tips
1️⃣ It’s recommended to arrive at the scenic area before 7 AM to avoid sun exposure and crowds, and to catch the sea of clouds right at the summit
2️⃣ Be sure to wear comfortable, non-slip sports shoes! Some sections are quite steep
3️⃣ Bring enough water (at least 2 bottles) and snacks, as there are few supply points on the mountain
4️⃣ If you want to watch the sunrise, you can stay overnight at the summit (there are hotels near Liandan Lake)

🚗Transportation Guide
High-speed rail: Take the train to Qianshan Station, and there is a direct shuttle bus to the scenic area (about 40 minutes)
Self-driving: Navigate directly to "Tianzhu Mountain Visitor Center," the parking lot is very large

🏨Accommodation Recommendations
If you want to stay at the foot of the mountain, Tianzhu Mountain International Hotel is recommended
If you want to watch the sunrise, you can stay at Liandan Lake Resort Hotel (advance booking required)
