Visit Mount Sanqing once in a lifetime | All the other marvelous mountains pale in comparison

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.
