Seek the Way on Qiyun Mountain|||Random Mountain of the Week - Qiyun Mountain! This Taoist mountain, which combines Danxia landforms and mountain and water scenery, is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. It is easy to climb and has beautiful scenery, but it is seriously underrated due to its proximity to Huangshan. Location: Qiyun Mountain, Xiuning County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province Transportation: 🚄Huangshan North Railway Station, 🚕40 min by taxi, or 🚄Yixian East Railway Station, 🚕15 min by taxi 2-day, 1-night itinerary Day 1: Depart from all over the country - Arrive at Qiyun Town and check in - Watch intangible cultural heritage performances Day 2: Take the Yuehua Cableway up the mountain - Wangxian Tower - Dongtianfudi - Shouziyan - Yuehua Street - Taisu Palace - Xiaohutian - Yuxu Palace - Wulao Peak - Ziyun Pass - Fangla Cave - Fangla Village - Danxia Corridor - Highest Peak - Take the cableway down the mountain Photo Guide 1️⃣Zhenxian Cave Mansion, with Longwang Cave above it, is said to have water dripping all year round. These cliff carvings date back to the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, and the largest number of them are from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are worth seeing. 2️⃣Yuxu Palace, where the statues are connected to the mountain. I was amazed by the red Taoist temple built on the mountain before I came, and there are various stone tablet carvings. 3️⃣Wulao Peak After passing Yuxu Palace, there are basically fewer people. The second half is all natural scenery, and there are fewer people worshiping. The continuous mountains and green plants are all good scenery along the way. 4️⃣Fangla Village Danxia Corridor is a Danxia landform. It is not difficult to climb the mountain while breathing fresh air, but you need to pay attention to safety when going down Fangla Village. From morning to night, there are exciting activities in Qiyun Town. 8:30-22:00 Intangible cultural heritage shops in the town 14:30-16:30 Peddlers parade 14:00/15:00/16:00/17:00 Single bamboo drifting 18:50/19:35 Intangible cultural heritage charcoal flower dance 19:00-19:30 Hengjiang Golden Dragon Fireworks Show 19:40/20:40 Fish Lantern Garden Party 20:30 Fire pot performance, iron flower show ✅Travel tips ▪️The big loop does not go back, passing through all the highlights, and the whole journey takes about 5 hours.

🏞️ Whether it's Xu Xiake's 'After climbing Huangshan, no other mountain is worth seeing,' or the Taoist sacred site Qiyun Mountain, these two dazzling pearls of Huangshan City have always been the poets' longing since ancient times.
