Hiked the wild trails of Qiyun Mountain in Jiangxi, then checked in at the Anhui scenic spot—2 yuan bus ride for 1 hour was a huge surprise!

Both called Qiyun Mountain, but Jiangxi vs Anhui are very different!

Last year I went to the pure wild road Qiyun Mountain in southern Jiangxi (📍Sishun Township, Chongyi County, Ganzhou), and this time I checked in at the Taoist holy site Qiyun Mountain in Xiuning, Anhui (📍Qiyunshan Town, Xiuning County, Huangshan City)!

🚌 2 yuan! 1 hour! A transport with a sense of ceremony!
From the high-speed rail "Huangshan North Station," turn left after exiting to the bus stop
