📍Attraction Address: Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area, located in the northeast of Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, is a famous Taoist mountain at the border of Yushan County and Dexing City.

High-speed rail: Shangrao Station is the best option, being the nearest and most convenient high-speed rail station to Sanqing Mountain. From there, you can take the "Shangrao→Sanqing Mountain" bus at the East Bus Station next to the railway station, which takes about 2 hours and costs 40 RMB per person. Alternatively, you can hire a private car or take a taxi for approximately 180-220 RMB, reaching Jinsha Cableway in about 1.5 hours. 2. Bus: From Shangrao Daihu Road Bus Station, there is one daily bus to the southern part of Sanqing Mountain (Southern Cableway) and one to the eastern part (Eastern Cableway).
