Sanqing Mountain | A Fairyland in the Clouds! Sacred Taoist Site

Sanqing Mountain is located in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. It is named after its three majestic peaks—Yujing, Yuxu, and Yuhua—which resemble the three highest Taoist deities: Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing.
Taoist culture here dates back to Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty, with relics like his alchemy well and furnace still preserved. Taoism flourished further during the Tang Dynasty, and over 1,600 years of history have enriched its profound Taoist heritage.
