Jiangxi | Sanqing Mountain: The Most Beautiful in the World, a Journey into a Fairyland Painting

"Having seen all the Five Great Mountains, the most spectacular scenery is at Sanqing Mountain." When visiting Shangrao in Jiangxi, you must make a trip to Sanqing Mountain! Also known as Shaohua Mountain, its magnificent peaks pierce the clouds, and strange rocks display unusual shapes. Sanqing Mountain captures the essence of heaven and earth, concentrating the best of nature, and is praised as "the world's premier fairy peak, an unparalleled blessed place." Walking along the high-altitude plank paths with rolling clouds beneath your feet feels like stepping into a fairyland. Yujing, Yuxu, and Yuhua—three peaks stand majestically, while the Spring Goddess watches with tender emotion and the Giant Python emerging from the mountain stirs your heart. 🏞️【Scenic Area Overview】🎟️ Entering Sanqing Mountain costs only ¥120 for admission, while a round-trip cable car ride costs ￥125, allowing you to easily glide through the clouds and mist. 🚗 Driving yourself is the most convenient option, but if you choose high-speed rail, Yushan Station will be your transfer point.
