A severely underrated gem of a mountain – Tianzhu Mountain

Hailed by geologists as the most beautiful granite landform in the world⛰️
Ranked alongside Huangshan and Jiuhuashan as one of the three famous mountains in Anhui Province.
Here you can see natural wonders such as peculiar peaks, strange rocks, canyons, secluded caves, etc. Overlooking the mountains from the peak, you are surrounded by a sea of clouds, as if you are in a fairyland～☁️

Photo spots
✅Tianzhu Peak: The iconic landmark of Tianzhu Mountain, with an altitude of 1489.8 meters. Ancient people said: 'After returning from the Five Great Mountains, one does not look at mountains; after Huangshan, one does not look at peaks; after Tianzhu, one does not look at anything else,' praised as 'a pillar holding up the sky'
✅Lian Dan Lake: At an altitude of 1100 meters, located halfway up the mountain, the lake water is clear and green, with beautiful reflections of the waves and mountains～
✅One Line Sky: Located below Tianzhu Peak, there is a crack between one peak and the main peak, with steep cliffs and unique scenery～
✅Hundred Steps Cloud Ladder: The steepest part has a slope of 70 degrees, it's a thrilling and exciting journey
✅Qing Long Bei: Valleys formed by faults on both sides, with a broad view. The panoramic view of Lian Dan Lake is also very beautiful from here
Travel tips
You can climb Tianzhu Mountain at night to see the sunrise, remember to check the weather in advance
After touring the entire scenic area, it's relatively physically demanding, so wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and prepare a hiking stick
There are shops on Tianchi Peak selling instant noodles and grilled sausages, or you can bring your own supplies

I thought Huangshan was already very beautiful! Until I went here
Anhui, it's really confused that you don't promote this place!
Don't just know about Huangshan and Jiuhuashan when you come to Anhui!
There is also Tianzhu Mountain, the scenery here is too beautiful!
It's simply a fairyland on earth!
I didn't know until I came here that Li Bai really didn't lie to me!
