This should be the most regrettable mountain in Anhui!

When it comes to Anhui's famous mountains and rivers, most people only know Huangshan. However, this Jiangnan fairy mountain, which is only about 40 kilometers away from Huangshan, is forgotten and overlooked by many. It is Qiyun Mountain. As a famous Taoist mountain, it is called "the unparalleled scenic spot under heaven, the number one famous mountain in Jiangnan." The cliff inscriptions, Taoist culture, and Danxia landforms on the mountain are all worth seeing. At night, the lively Qiyun Town at the foot of the mountain is full of the atmosphere of everyday life. It is a great place to visit during the summer vacation~
