Sanqingshan Scenic Area Travel Guide

Sanqingshan Scenic Area Travel Guide Preliminary preparation 1. ID: Bring your mainland China ID card to facilitate ticket purchase and park admission. Tourists with special certificates such as student ID, senior citizen ID, disability ID, etc. can enjoy corresponding discounts, so remember to bring them with you. 2. Clothing: Sanqing Mountain is at a high altitude and the temperature is lower than at the foot of the mountain. Even in summer, it is recommended to bring a coat. It is windy in the mountains in spring and autumn, so be careful to keep warm; it is cold in the mountains in winter, so you need to prepare thick cotton-padded clothes, scarves, gloves and other warm clothes. 3. Equipment: Prepare comfortable sports shoes or hiking shoes to ensure walking safety and comfort. Bring an appropriate amount of drinking water (at least 1 - 2 bottles per person) and snacks such as chocolate, bread, etc. to replenish your energy. You can bring trekking poles to reduce climbing fatigue. 4. Medicines: Prepare common medicines such as cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, motion sickness medicine, hemostatic patches, etc. to deal with possible physical discomfort. Scenic spot information 1. Opening hours: usually 08:00 - 17:00. Ticket sales and admission will be stopped after 15:30. The specific time may be adjusted due to season or special circumstances. It is recommended to check the official website or official WeChat account for confirmation before traveling. 2. Ticket price: Peak season (February 1st - December 31st) 120 yuan/person, off-season (January 1st - January 31st) 100 yuan/person. 3. Cableway price: Jinsha Cableway and Waishuangxi Cableway are 125 yuan per person for both up and down trips. Transportation 1. External transportation: - Airplane: The closest airport to Sanqing Mountain is Sanqing Mountain Airport. After landing, you can take the airport bus to the southern or eastern cableway of Sanqing Mountain. The journey takes about 1.5 hours. - High-speed rail: Get off at Shangrao Station. There are direct buses from the high-speed rail station to the southern and eastern cableways of Sanqingshan Mountain. The journey takes about 1.5 hours. 2. Internal transportation: There are sightseeing buses in the scenic area, connecting the main attractions and cable car stations. The tickets are included in the ticket and can be used multiple times. Tour route 1. One-day tour route: - Option 1 (Easy): Take the cable car up the mountain, visit the Nanqing Garden Scenic Area (enjoy iconic landscapes such as the giant python coming out of the mountain and the Oriental Goddess), then go to the West Coast Scenic Area (walk along the high-altitude plank road and enjoy the magnificent mountain scenery), and finally take the cable car down the mountain. - Option 2 (Challenging): Take the East Cableway up the mountain, visit the Nanqing Garden Scenic Area, go to Yuhuangding, then go to the West Coast Scenic Area via the Sunshine Coast Scenic Area, and finally take the cableway down the mountain. This route allows you to see more attractions, but the itinerary is more compact and requires more physical exertion. 2.

After enjoying the sunset, go to Rishang Villa or a nearby hotel to check in. - Day 2: Get up early to watch the sunrise at Yutai, then visit Nanqing Garden Scenic Area, and take the cable car down the mountain in the afternoon.
