An Off-the-Beaten-Path Fairy Mountain in Anhui! A 2-Day, 1-Night Magical Guide to Qiyun Mountain

If you tell me immortals live on Qiyun Mountain, I would believe it‼️
When it comes to Anhui, most people know about Huangshan, but 99% overlook this modest fairy mountain next door—Qiyun Mountain! It is one of the Four Great Taoist Mountains⛰️. Emperor Qianlong himself inscribed it as "A peerless wonder under heaven, the number one famous mountain in Jiangnan," and even the famous traveler Xu Xiake visited twice! Seeing the sunrise and sea of clouds with my own eyes this time made me realize how true its name is!

📍Fairy Mountain Location: Qiyun Mountain Town, Xiuning County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province
🚄Transportation Guide: Take the high-speed train to Huangshan North Station, then transfer to Xiuning Bus Line 1 or the scenic area shuttle bus directly
🏨Accommodation Recommendation: Qiyun Mountain Baiyue Resort Hotel (super convenient! Right next to the cable car entrance)

✨Day 1: Cultivating Immortality at the Foot of the Mountain✨
The first stop must be Qiyun Town!🌈
- Immersive experience at the Qiyun Immortal Heroes Conference
