Compared to Huangshan! I love this "World Heritage" famous mountain in Jiangxi even more!

Jiangxi has a seriously underrated "World Heritage" site—Sanqing Mountain in Shangrao. Its unique granite peak forest landscape is often accompanied by breathtaking seas of clouds. If you haven't been to Sanqing Mountain yet, join the plan—this guide is for you. - 🚗 Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Shangrao Station, then take the direct shuttle bus to the scenic area. 🎫 Tickets: Admission is 120 RMB per person. It is recommended to take the cable car, boarding and disembarking at Gangshou. - 【One-day Tour Route Recommendations】 1️⃣ Panoramic Tour (5-6 hours) Take the Gangshou cable car up → Sanqing Palace → Sunshine Coast Walkway (walk the hanging plank road and see the spectacular Five Dragons Worship Sanqing) → Yuhuang Peak (use the free telescope to view the Immortal’s Guiding Stone Formation) → Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain (go around to the back and use a telephoto lens to capture the "Giant Python Swallowing the Sun") → Eastern Goddess (shoot ethereal portraits in portrait mode during morning mist) → Return the same way to Gangshou cable car. This route covers both the plank road scenery and the core unique stones, with a high photo success rate. 2️⃣ Leisurely Stroll (3-4 hours) After exiting the Gangshou cable car, turn right onto the "Path to the Clouds," walk 15 minutes to the viewing platform, then 5 more minutes to Hanxing Pool. Next, visit Sanqing Palace (check in at the Dragon-Tiger Hall and Wind-Thunder Tower, and experience the Taoist Bagua layout). Then return to Hanxing Pool and head toward the key scenic spots, passing Lover’s Stone and Immortal Crossing Bridge, finally checking in at the two iconic sights: Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain and Eastern Goddess. After the tour, return to the Gangshou cable car to descend. The whole route is gentle with few climbs, easy and stress-free. - 【Must-Visit Recommendations】 ✅ Eastern Goddess: Located in the Nanqingyuan Scenic Area, a strange rock shaped like a long-haired girl with her hair draped over her shoulders, peaceful and lifelike. ✅ Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain: A pillar-shaped rock with a steep cliff face, resembling a giant python breaking through the rock and pointing to the sky, showcasing nature’s incredible craftsmanship. ✅ West Coast Walkway: Suspended high above a cliff, walking here offers views of continuous peaks and magnificent seas of clouds. ✅ Sanqing Palace: An ancient architectural complex arranged according to the Bagua layout, an "open-air museum" of ancient Chinese Taoist architecture, full of historical depth and serene immortal aura. ✅ Yujing Peak: The highest peak of Sanqing Mountain at 1819.9 meters elevation. Climbing to the top offers a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and a feeling of majestic triumph. - From the Gangshou cable car exit at Sanqing Mountain, there is a direct bus to Wuyuan, which takes only 45 minutes. If you have enough time, it is recommended to reserve two extra days to visit Wuyuan Huangling and Jingdezhen. The route is very convenient, allowing you to check in at three places in one go. ✔️ Wuyuan Huangling One-day Tour: Take the cable car up the mountain, stroll through the ancient Tianjie Alley to try local snacks, visit the Autumn Drying Viewing Platform to see the iconic autumn drying scenery, walk the Leixin Bridge glass plank road in the afternoon to enjoy terraced fields, then stroll along Huaxi Water Street, and take the cable car down in the evening. ✔️ Jingdezhen One-day Tour: Taoyangli Historical and Cultural Tourism Area (Imperial Kiln Museum) — Taoxichuan Cultural and Creative Street — Jingdezhen China Ceramics Museum captured the winter of Sanqing Mountain on my phone
