Qi Yun Mountain Travel Guide
Two-day tour of Qi Yun Mountain, experience the beauty of Danxia landform and ancient villages
Today I'm going to share with you a super awesome two-day tour of Qi Yun Mountain that I just experienced. Departing from Huangshan North Station, the scenery along the way is picturesque, as if stepping into a long scroll of landscape.
Transportation:
We started from the high-speed rail Huangshan North Station, took a direct bus or taxi to Qi Yun Mountain, the transportation is very convenient.
Accommodation:
In Qi Yun Mountain town, we chose an antique inn with a quiet environment and complete facilities. The price for one night is very affordable, although the specific cost is not mentioned, but believe me, it's definitely worth it.
Attractions:
On the first day, we visited Qi Yun Mountain, a scenic spot famous for its Danxia landform, which is breathtaking. We took the Yuehua cable car up the mountain and enjoyed the views of the cloud street, cliff carvings, Danxia landform, etc. The tour route includes Wangxian Tower, Shouzi Rock, Zhenxian Cave Mansion, Yuehua Street, Incense Burner Peak, Tai Su Palace, Small Pot Sky, Yuxu Palace, Ziyun Pass, Wulao Peak, Fangla Fort, Danxia Corridor and the highest peak. Finally, we took the cable car down the mountain, looking at the scenery under our feet, as if in a fairyland.
Bilian Pond: There are cliff carvings here, which is a good place for photography.
Yuehua Street: A village on the top of the mountain with shops, restaurants and homestays. Walking on the ancient streets, it's like going back to ancient times.
Small Pot Sky: The hidden 'Gourd Gate', suitable for photography. Standing here, it's like being in a painting.
Yuxu Palace: The red Taoist temple is located under the cliff, very stunning, also a good place for photography.
Tour time:
The whole tour up the mountain takes about 4-5 hours. So I suggest you guys start early.
Precautions:
Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. After all, we have to walk a long mountain road to enjoy these beautiful views.
The last cable car down the mountain is at 16:50, if you miss it, you'll have to walk down. So be sure to keep track of time.
There are many attractions in Qi Yun Mountain, if you want to have a deep tour, it is recommended to plan your itinerary in advance.
Be sure to pay attention to safety on the mountain, do not climb places without safety protection such as rocks.
Please keep the environment clean in the scenic area, do not litter.
Overall, this two-day tour of Qi Yun Mountain made me feel the grandeur of nature and the charm of culture. If you also want to have a spontaneous trip, why not come to Qi Yun Mountain!

Mount Qiyun(齐云山)|The Gathering of Clouds
Mount Qiyun of 2061.3 M height, locates at Shangyou County of Jiangxi Province, and one of the Ten Famouse Mountains in Jiangxi.
As it's still not reachable by any pave road, it stays very wild and natural for hikers. It's highly recommended to have a 2-day hike and camp on the mountain top at night. On the way to the top, you would come across a bamboo forest, then thick woods, and then reach a grassland with lots of lovely cow families. What I love this mountain the most, must be the clouds surrounding it, and the stunning sunset, moon-rise, and sunrise! As we just finished enjoying the beautiful sunset, turn around, there was the soft moon rised from the pink and light blue horizon afar. First and best mountain camping experience up till now.
* It's quite windy at the mountain top, do prepare a proper sleeping bag.
* There is a very small stream for water, but a little bit dirty, need to boil before drinking.
* Bring enough food with you as there is no supply on the way up.

Compared to the Yellow Mountains, I have a deeper affection for this low-key, hidden fairy mountain
·
People from Anhui are really tight-lipped, huh? Such a beautiful hidden fairy mountain and they don't promote it 😭 I feel it's even more beautiful than the Yellow Mountains
Qi Yun Mountain, formerly known as 'Bai Yue', is reputed as 'Yellow Mountain and Bai Yue stand opposite each other, with green waters and red cliffs being the best in the south of the Yangtze River'~ It is one of the four famous Taoist mountains, with unique Danxia landforms, serene ancient villages on the cliffs, beautiful Hengjiang river scenery, and the comfortable Huizhou-style towns. It's the off-the-beaten-path vacation spot I most want to recommend this summer‼️

An underrated place, Qiyun Mountain, is a must-visit
⛰️ Qiyun Mountain, formerly known as Baiyue, is named for its peak that aligns with the clouds, creating an impression of a mountain equal in height to the clouds. Emperor Qianlong once praised it as 'a peerless scenic spot, the number one mountain in the south of the Yangtze River.' Qiyun Mountain is composed of continental red rock series from the late Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era and features unique Danxia landforms.

Anhui Off-the-Beaten-Path Travelogue | Mount Qiyun: Where there are free sunrises and sunsets
"In this world, incomparable is it, the most beautiful mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, it is Mount Qiyun."💭 This is Emperor Qianlong's praise for Mount Qiyun in Xiuning County, Huangshan, Anhui. It is obscure, yet it is regarded as the 'earthly paradise' of Taoism. "If you want to know what a life of the richest man is like, you have to walk around Mount Huang and Mount Qiyun. It's as if in this corner of the world, there are no worries, no dreams, only in Huizhou." This poem is probably the best interpretation, isn't it?🌄 Mount Huang and Mount Baiyue-Qiyun, that's the beauty of a former life.
Here there are mountains, water, the historical remnants of Taoist culture, and ancient villages. Wandering around in ancient costumes feels particularly special, and coupled with the charming sunrises and sunsets, staying for two days is just right.
🚌 Transportation: You can take the high-speed train to Huangshan North Station, and then take the tourist bus directly to the scenic area from inside the station.
🏨 Accommodation: At the foot of Mount Qiyun, there is the Xiangfu Rui Hotel, and if you need something more upscale, there is the Freedom Home Treehouse Hotel next door. If you like the feeling of being on the mountain, there are also homestays on Yuehua Street.
💡 Must-visit: Qiyun Town is especially suitable for strolling at night, with retro Hanfu tours every Thursday to Saturday, and the Hengjiang fireworks show; you can also explore the Hengjiang bamboo rafting, enjoy the sunset at Dengfeng Bridge, experience the charm of the cliff village Yuehua Street, as well as Taoist palaces like the Taixu Palace and Yuxu Palace.
⛰️ The mountain cableway is very convenient, and the scenery along the way is also superb. It is recommended to buy a package ticket, which includes round-trip cable car tickets and entrance tickets, as well as bamboo rafting.
🍚 Cuisine: The local Hui cuisine is truly incomparable in deliciousness, with Yuehua Street's farmhouse restaurants on the mountain and Xiangfu Rui Restaurant at the bottom of the mountain being the perfect choices for gourmet food, and there are also many restaurants around Dengfeng Bridge.
Sea of clouds, sunrise, sunset, every natural landscape makes you feel as if you are in a fairyland. The cultural landscapes of the scenic area are also quite rich, such as the Qing Dynasty ancient architectural complex, the long-standing Taoist culture, all fully showcasing the unique charm of Mount Qiyun. If you want to avoid the bustling crowds and quietly enjoy the sunrise and sunset, then Mount Qiyun is undoubtedly an excellent choice〜

Having fun with friends, there's no way to be in a normal state of mind
Mount Qiyun| Everything is good, the only drawback: it's too close to Mount Huang! As one of the 'First Famous Mountains in the South of the Yangtze River' and 'One of the Four Famous Taoist Mountains', I personally think that the fame and connotation of Mount Qiyun are seriously underestimated, and it's very worth hiking and appreciating!
The ticket is 68, and the official often holds activities (for example, it's free every Wednesday now). We chartered a car directly from Xidi to the tourist center, about 20 minutes, 50 for a car. If you take the bus, you need to go to the county town first and then transfer, which is more troublesome.
After arriving at the tourist center, take the cable car, 60 per person. After getting off, you will arrive at Wangxian Tower, and you can enter the scenic area by swiping the ticket.
We basically visited all the check-in points, including the highest peak Wangyue Tower, about more than three hours. What's surprising is that it snowed that day, the whole mountain was covered with silver, and it was absolutely beautiful!
After coming down from the highest peak, follow the sign to Yuehua Street and successfully arrive at the bus stop. There are three ways to go down the mountain, cable car, bus and hiking. The cable car is 60, the bus is 35, but please note that the cable car off work time is 4:50pm, the bus is 4:40pm, and it leaves on the hour.
During the mountain tour, there will be many Taoist temples, such as the God of Wealth Temple, Xuantian Palace, Taixu Palace, etc., where there are real Taoists.
There are not many tourists in Mount Qiyun, it's very worth rushing! Mount Qiyun

Mount Qiyun, formerly known as Baiyue, is one of the four famous Taoist mountains in China, along with Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, Wudang Mountain in Hubei, and Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan.
In ancient times, Baiyue was on par with Huangyue, and even surpassed Huangshan. Now people widely spread the praise of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty: "The unparalleled scenery in the world, the first famous mountain in the south of the Yangtze River".

Mount Qiyun, just because the artistic conception is too beautiful!
Mount Qiyun, just because the artistic conception is too beautiful!
We climbed Mount Qiyun before New Year's Day, there were very few people, but the scenery amazed us. We took the high-speed rail to Huangshan North Station, and then took the Xuning 1 bus directly to the Qiyun Mountain Scenic Area, the fare was 2 yuan. Qiyun Mountain Town is great for strolling around, even if you don't climb the mountain, walking along the Hengjiang River is a great view. The mountain is not high, the altitude is only more than 500 meters, and the hiking route is very gentle, very suitable for outdoor novices. Qiyun Mountain is also a Taoist holy land, it can be said that it has both natural scenery and cultural landscape. After two days of natural and cultural double edification, the body and mind are relaxed and happy.

OMG, I went to the mountain to study a fairyland project~
In winter, encountering a snowfall
is probably the happiest thing in the world.
The weather forecast shows that there will be moderate snowfall tomorrow. The first snow in Qiyun Mountain this year came exceptionally early. Have you ever seen Qiyun in the snow?
As soon as it snows, Qiyun Mountain becomes a 'White Peak'.
Although it is not as strong and hearty as the north,
it falls on the white walls and black tiles of Huizhou,
adding a bit of charm to the simple Huizhou.
The mountains, small towns, and streets are all covered with layers of white snow.
The snowflakes fall in every corner of the Qiyun land, less noisy, more peaceful, but the most heart-moving is the white snow inlaid with red walls.
The eaves of the carved beams and painted buildings are also covered with thick snow, adding a bit of poetry to the solemn winter.
⚠️Snow viewing precautions
Prepare anti-slip pads or anti-slip climbing shoes for going up the mountain in the snow.
Raincoats, umbrellas, thermos cups, and power banks are essential items.
