In Shangrao, Jiangxi, there is a famous Taoist mountain called Mount Sanqing. I heard that the scenery there is as beautiful as Mount Huangshan, so I decided to visit. I took a cable car to the top of the mountain, where I found myself walking on a skywalk. The path was flat, but one side of the skywalk was a cliff, and the other side was a mountain. It looked very dangerous. Walking on the skywalk, I felt like I was floating in the air. It was amazing. I walked along the skywalk, and there were many strange peaks and rocks along the way. Every step was a beautiful view, and every glance was a painting. Suddenly, I saw the "Giant Python" and the "Oriental Goddess." The "Giant Python" looked like a huge python, breaking through the mountain and soaring into the sky. The "Oriental Goddess" looked like a lady with long hair, sitting gracefully and looking into the distance, as if waiting for her lover to return. The scenery was so breathtaking. Surrounded by mountains, the scenery of Mount Sanqing was like a series of ink paintings. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Mount Sanqing, you are so beautiful!"

Sanqing Mountain, as one of the famous Taoist mountains, has long been on my list of places to visit, and I recently fulfilled my wish to go there! The weather was not good when I set off from the downtown area of Shangrao, gloomy and seemingly about to rain. Embracing the idea of 'since we're here, let's make the best of it,' I still went ahead. As luck would have it, the weather cleared up after we arrived at the scenic area, despite a little rain on the way. We were very fortunate! Although we reached the West Coast scenic area a bit late, we still enjoyed the sunset glow of Sanqing Mountain! The beautiful scenery always makes people linger, and I actually missed the time to go down the mountain. So, I decided to go with the flow and stay overnight on the mountain, hoping to catch the sunrise of Sanqing Mountain. The weather in the early morning was still not ideal, but I woke up early and went to the best spot to watch the sunrise, waiting for the moment when the sun would rise in the east. As the sky gradually brightened, the unique red glow of the sunrise appeared, slowly revealing its true face. The sky mirror suddenly became colorful, and the clouds also started to change dramatically. This is the unique sunrise of Sanqing Mountain! Sanqing Mountain, also known as Shaohua Mountain and Y Mountain, is located at the junction of Yushan County and Dexing City in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, China. It is named after the three peaks of Yujing, Yuxu, and Yuhua, which resemble the three revered Taoist deities of Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing sitting atop the mountain. Among them, Yujing Peak is the highest, with an elevation of 1819.9 meters, the fifth highest peak in Jiangxi, and the highest peak of the Huaiyu Mountain Range, which is also the source of the Xin River. The main body is 12.2 kilometers long from north to south and 6.3 kilometers wide from east to west, with a lotus leaf shape and a southeast to northwest inclination. It is located within the Huaiyu Mountain structural block unit, at the junction of the Yangtze ancient plate and the Cathaysia ancient plate in the southeastern part of the Eurasian plate. It is situated in the hinterland of the Huaiyu Mountain Range and is a mid-mountain terrain mainly formed by the erosion of granite structures. The mountain is steep on the east, south, and west sides, and relatively gentle on the north side. The horizontal distance from the foot to the top of the mountain is 5km, with an altitude increasing sharply from 200m to 1816m. Sanqing Mountain has a dense distribution of micro-landforms of granite of different origins, displaying the most densely distributed and diverse granite peak forest known in the world; 2373 species of higher plants and 1728 species of wild animals constitute the environment of biodiversity in East Asia; more than 1600 years of Taoist history has nurtured a rich Taoist cultural connotation. The ancient architectural complex of Sanqing Palace, arranged according to the Bagua, has been evaluated by the State Council's cultural relics appraisal expert group as 'an open-air museum of ancient Taoist architecture in China.' The World Heritage Committee believes that Sanqing Mountain, within a relatively small area, displays unique granite pillars and peaks, a rich variety of granite-shaped rocks and vegetation, changing landscapes from near to far, and awe-inspiring climatic wonders, creating a unique landscape aesthetic effect in the world, presenting captivating natural beauty. 'National Geographic' magazine in China has selected it as one of the 'five most beautiful peak forests in China'; geologists from China and the United States unanimously consider it 'the most beautiful granite on the western edge of the Pacific Ocean.' Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area has two entrances, the southern entrance (Wai Shuangxi cable car) and the eastern entrance (Jinsha cable car). There are ten major scenic areas, namely Nanqing Garden Scenic Area, Sanqing Palace Scenic Area, Yujing Peak Scenic Area, West Coast Scenic Area, East Coast Scenic Area (Sunshine Coast Scenic Area), Wanshou Garden Scenic Area, Yuling Observatory Scenic Area, Xihua Platform Scenic Area, Shiguling Scenic Area, and Sandongkou Scenic Area. The ten major landscapes are the Oriental Goddess, Python Emerging from the Mountain, Monkey King Presenting Treasure, Maiden's Open Heart, Old Taoist Praying to the Moon, Guanyin Enjoying Music at the South Heavenly Gate, Ge Hong Presenting the Elixir, Dragon Playing with Pines, Three Dragons Emerging from the Sea, and Pulong Singing to the Sky (formerly known as Sea Lion Swallowing the Moon). The best route is to enter the scenic area from the eastern entrance, where you can first enjoy the most famous sights such as the Oriental Goddess and Python Emerging from the Mountain, and exit the scenic area from the southern entrance to return to Shangrao downtown, which is more convenient and avoids backtracking. Transportation Tips: 1. Departing from Shangrao downtown, you can take a minibus at Shangrao Station, which only goes directly to the southern entrance, namely the Wai Shuangxi cable car, with few buses, usually departing from the downtown in the morning, taking about an hour and a half to arrive; alternatively, you can take a custom shuttle bus, which can go to both the southern and eastern entrances. 2. Departing from Yushan County, take a train to Yushan or take a high-speed train to Yushan South Station, then take a bus or taxi to Yushan County Bus Station, and then take a bus to Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area. There are two types of buses, one to the eastern Jinsha and the other to the southern Wai Shuangxi, with a fare of 16 yuan per person, and you can go up the mountain from both sides. The buses run every 40 minutes, taking about an hour to arrive, with stops near the cable car stations. The earliest bus is at 6:10, the last bus to the south is at 5:00, and the last bus to the east is at 6:10 in the afternoon; note: there may be adjustments according to the season. However, there is also a bus from Shangrao to Sanqing Mountain East (Jinsha) to Wuyuan, departing from Shangrao at 17:20, arriving at Yushan Bus Station at 18:00, where it will stop. 3. Although there is a shuttle bus from the eastern Jinsha to the southern part, there are few buses, and the timing needs to be planned in advance! Although there are regrets, the trip was worthwhile!

After visiting the Five Great Mountains, one does not look at other mountains; after visiting Mount Huang, one does not look at the Five Great Mountains. Mount Sanqing is the most exquisite in the world. 🎈Location: At the border of Yushan County and Dexing City in Shangrao, Jiangxi 🎫Ticket: 120 yuan per person 🚠Cable car: 75 yuan for going up, 55 yuan for going down 🧗Mountaineering Strategy Mount Sanqing has ten major scenic areas, and it is suitable to tour them over 2 days and 1 night. Be sure to research strategies before setting out to allocate your energy reasonably. ❶There are two cableways in the scenic area, one in the south and one in the east. The east cableway is the choice of most people, but I took the south cableway (actually, the east gate is a bit to the north). ❷There are two routes for touring Mount Sanqing, a large loop and a small loop, with the overall route resembling an ∞. Both cableways are on the right side (east side), so the touring routes are basically interchangeable. ❸Due to limited time, I chose the smaller loop, which is the more strenuous south cableway. The east cableway goes down the mountain first and then up, while the south cableway goes up first and then down. ❹Choose the entrance according to what you are good at. I am better at going downhill, so the beginning was particularly tiring, but the latter half was very easy. It is recommended that the elderly enter through the north cableway and visit the 'Wanshou Garden Scenic Area' before returning (if you don't want to climb, you can go up from the east and down from the south, clockwise). ❺The mountain peak (Yujing Peak) and Sanqing Temple are on the large loop, but the most famous attractions are almost all on the small loop (such as the Statue of the Eastern Goddess and Python Coming Out of the Mountain). The small loop is sufficient just to enjoy the scenery. ❻It takes 7 hours to tour everything, and just over 3 hours for the small loop (including the cableway ride), depending on the time of arrival to choose the range of the tour (the cableway stops operating at five o'clock). ❣️Warm Tips: ◆Prices for food and beverages are higher in the mountains, but you will understand why when you see the workers transporting supplies. It is recommended to bring your own food, and you can buy water along the way. ◆ Mount Sanqing does not support night climbing. If you want to watch the sunrise or the sea of clouds, it is suggested to stay overnight on the mountain. There are homestays and tent camps on the east side. ◆It is still cold on the mountain, so be sure to keep warm and wear comfortable shoes. There are squirrels along the way. ◆There are many private parking lots at the south gate, with two parking areas. The first is at the foot of the mountain, and the second is at the cableway entrance, which is more effort-saving. ◆Parking fees can be reduced by using mobile phone points, which can be quite substantial, so it's worth paying attention to.
