5. 1 Heads up for those planning to visit Sanqing Mountain! Keep these tips in mind

I just returned from Sanqing Mountain a few days ago and have compiled some notes on what to pay attention to when traveling during the May Day holiday. 🚌 Transportation 🚄 Yushan Station (closer) or Shangrao Station, then take a bus or taxi 🚗 Self-driving: Navigate directly to the cableway location Waishuangxi Cableway (south side): Take the large loop line Jinsha Cableway (east side): Take the small and medium loop lines Gangshou Cableway, expected to open on May 1 Direct access to Sanqing Palace Scenic Area 🎫 Tickets Scenic area ticket + round-trip cable car: CNY 245/person Remember to get a number early during holidays (starts at 7:30am), and queue up after your number is called. 🚠 Cableway & Route: Waishuangxi Cableway: Risheng Platform → Yixiantian → Yutai → Azalea Forest → Oriental Goddess → Penguin Offering Peaches → Python Out of the Mountain → Fox Gnawing Chicken → Yuhuang Peak → Sunshine Coast → Sanqing Palace → West Coast Jinsha Cableway: Small Loop Line: Python Out of the Mountain → Penguin Offering Peaches → Oriental Goddess → Goddess Plank Road Medium Loop Line: Python Out of the Mountain → Penguin Offering Peaches → Oriental Goddess → Azalea Valley Yutai → Jade Maiden's Embrace → Yixiantian → Risheng Villa → Yuhuang Peak → Python Viewing Platform The Jinsha Cableway will be more crowded, and many tour groups will also go up the mountain from here. Choose the Waishuangxi Cableway on weekends and holidays to be faster. If you are taking elderly people to play, choose the Jinsha Cableway. ⚠️ Tips ✅ There are B&Bs, restaurants, and convenience stores at the entrance of the scenic area, which is very convenient. ✅ Remember to buy enough supplies before going up the mountain. The supplies on the mountain are carried up manually, so they will be expensive. ✅ The altitude on the mountain is high and it is very cool. If you go up the mountain on a cloudy day, pay attention to wind protection. ✅ If you are in good physical condition, take the large loop line, it's worth the price. ✅ The mountain is sometimes shrouded in clouds and mist. If you want to take clearer pictures, you can wait and see. Sometimes the clouds will dissipate with a gust of wind. ✅ Pay attention to the cableway's closing time. It stops operating at 5:30pm, so allow time for the return trip. ✅ Be sure to get a number early during holidays! Numbering starts at 7:30am. If you live nearby, it is recommended to get a number and then go to a nearby place for breakfast. ✅ You can also visit other nearby scenic spots, such as Wuyuan, Wangxian Valley, and Gexian Village.
