Mount Sanqing is truly unreal in its beauty! Mount Sanqing during the plum rain season

During the plum rain season at Mount Sanqing, I thought I would encounter continuous drizzle and the scenery would be hidden, but I never expected to be so lucky this time! In the early morning and evening, the light rain is like poetry, and from noon to before sunset, the clouds and mist disperse, revealing picturesque views. For tourists who usually lack exercise, it is important to climb the mountain according to one's ability. Although Mount Sanqing is small, some parts of the mountain are rugged, requiring constant ascending and descending of stairs, which can be a challenge for the knees. A hiking stick is very practical here, as it can lend you a helping hand at critical moments. The moment you reach the summit, the beauty of looking down on all the other mountains is fully captured. Regarding our itinerary and route, here is a share for future visitors: On the first day, we started from the Wai Shuangxi cable car, passed by Ri Shang Mountain Villa, and then headed directly towards the West Coast. Along the way, we passed through the West Coast plank road area, where the scenery is as poetic and picturesque as it gets, with a sea of clouds tumbling amidst the continuous mountain ranges. Then continue to climb up, still going up stairs, you can head north to Sanqing Palace. For the second day, when our physical strength was slightly lacking, we chose to walk slowly, resting several times along the way. The general pace was to choose the more difficult path uphill and the easier path downhill. Starting from the Wai Shuangxi cable car, we went right after Ri Shang Mountain Villa, climbed up the One-Line-Sky, then to Yutai, and afterwards took a small loop around the South Qing Garden scenic area on the left. The scenery of South Qing Garden is particularly beautiful, surrounded by mountains with varying elevations. As long as you climb to a high place, you can look far into the magnificent corner of the East Coast sea of clouds, and also enjoy famous sights such as the Eastern Goddess and the Python emerging from the mountain. Choosing to stay at the Hilton Hotel next to the cable car during holidays not only provides a comfortable sleep but also close proximity to the cable car entrance. Both cable car trips were smooth and unobstructed, which is indeed a rare experience! Among the beautiful sights of Mount Sanqing, the West Coast viewing spot is the most recommended. There, the view is open, the sea of clouds is spectacular, and I hope that on a sunny and breezy day in the future, I can set foot on this magical mountain range again and experience its different scenery.
