A Taoist sanctuary nestled in the crevices of rocks, it is the most renowned mountain in the south of the Yangtze River

Qi Yun Mountain, hailed by Emperor Qianlong as 'a peerless wonderland, the foremost mountain in the south of the Yangtze'. Xu Xiake, a truthful traveler, ascended this mountain twice over three years. Qi Yun Mountain is one of the four great mountains of Taoism. It is named for its peak being level with the clouds. The red rocks that directly emerge from the ground have been shaped by weathering and the erosive forces of flowing water, creating a 'Danxia landform'.

Severely underestimated! 99% of people who come to Anhui miss this obscure fairy mountain

Severely underestimated! 99% of people who come to Anhui miss this obscure fairy mountain|||When traveling to Anhui, I dare say 99% of people have missed this treasure of a Taoist fairy mountain! I've been to Anhui no less than 5 times before I discovered this place, and compared to the crowded and expensive Huangshan next door, I prefer this place. 📍Location: Qi Yun Mountain, Xiuning County, Anhui 🚗Transportation: Drive directly to Qi Yun Mountain, or take the high-speed train to Huangshan North Station or Yi County Station, then take a taxi for about 20 minutes. 🏠Accommodation: After arriving at the Qi Yun Mountain Visitor Center, take the shuttle bus to the 'Free Home' tree house for check-in. I highly recommend it, come to Qi Yun Mountain to experience the forest tree house of 'Free Home', with 60 different style designed forest tree houses, 'airplane, flying saucer, building block tree house...'. Staying here is like walking into a fairy's forest cabin, not only full of atmosphere, but also very comfortable and private. 🎡Attractions: In addition to mountain climbing and sightseeing, Qi Yun Mountain also offers archery, rock climbing, camping, golf, etc. ⛰️⛰️⛰️Qi Yun Mountain Travel Guide This severely underestimated famous Taoist mountain in Anhui, with rich scenic resources, Taoist temples under the cliffs, Danxia strange mountains, ancient villages on the cliffs, forests, tree houses, is indeed the Qi Yun Mountain that made Xu Xiake linger. ⛰️Mountain climbing route: Yuehua Cableway (up the mountain)—Wangxian Tower—Shouzi Rock—Zhenxian Cave Mansion—Yuehua Sky Street—Xiaohu Sky—Yuxu Palace—Wulao Peak—Fangla Village—Danxia Corridor—Summit—Return Cableway down the mountain Starting from Wangxian Tower, there are many places to take photos along the way, and it took about half a day to walk and take photos all the way. 📍Especially recommend Yuxu Palace, a Taoist temple built under the Danxia cliff, too amazing! The cover is taken here. 📍There is also an ancient village on the mountain that retains a very simple style, with white walls and grey tiles, very picturesque! This place is really too niche, because everyone only knows about Huangshan next door, there are basically no people all the way, it feels like accidentally entering a fairyland. 🕐Cableway operation time: 8:15-16:50

Mulinari Village

Mulinari Village, where you can see green mountains and waters, pink walls and black tiles, a beautiful ink painting scroll. Huangshan has 'four wonders', Mulinari has 'four seas'. Sea of Clouds: Mulinari is famous for its spectacular sea of clouds. The vast sea of clouds spreads among the green mountains and waters, stretching for nearly a hundred miles, sometimes sinking and sometimes floating, surrounding the mountain village with pink walls and black tiles, like a dream, like a fairyland on earth. Sea of Fog: At five or six o'clock in the morning, when the mist begins to rise, Mulinari is shrouded in a golden mist, and all things are still asleep. Sea of Stars: The night sky of Mulinari is full of stars, which is very difficult to see in city life. Sea of Flowers: There are high mountain terraced landscapes here, with large swathes of golden rapeseed flowers blooming in front of and behind the mountain village of Mulinari.

An extremely niche travel destination, we meet in the village above the clouds

Life is not only about the trivialities in front of us, but also about occasional surprises and romance. Ever since I heard about Muliangzhuang from a taxi driver on my last trip to Huangshan, I have been looking forward to it. How beautiful is this village on the clouds? Today, I put everything aside and took the high-speed train to Huangshan with my friends again, wanting to take in all the beautiful scenery. We set off from Hefei to Huangshan North. Because we had done our research, we went straight to the No.1 bus stop in the square in front of the station after getting off the train. The bus runs every 25 minutes. We took the No.1 bus to Xiuning Passenger Transport West Station, then changed to the 202 to Muliangzhuang Mountain Pass. There are not many buses for this route, so if you miss it, you can take the 201 to Xikou. You can charter a car from Xikou to Muliangzhuang for 40 yuan. We chartered a car from Xikou. The mountain road is not easy to walk, so friends who drive must pay attention to safety. We arrived at Xikou around noon and planned to have lunch before going to Muliangzhuang. There are few places to eat on the streets of Xikou. The only place that made me feel lively was a shop that served fried rice cakes with noodles. The rice cakes fried by the boss's wife were unforgettable. A 10 yuan serving of fried rice cakes had six or seven side dishes, and the taste was excellent. The boss also kindly served a bowl of noodle soup. Unfortunately, I forgot the name of the shop, but there are few places to eat on that street, and their business is the best, so it's easy to find. After lunch, we found a car to take us to Muliangzhuang. On the way, the driver told us that if we didn't stay on the mountain, we could hike along the Dream Ancient Trail on the mountain to Zuyuan Village after visiting Muliangzhuang. We were very excited to hear this, as we love hiking and would not miss it. The driver also left his phone number for us in case we couldn't get a car when we came out, which was very thoughtful. Muliangzhuang is located on a high mountain, and cars can't go up. The parking lot at the foot of the mountain is not very large, so it is not recommended to drive to the foot of the mountain during the tourist season. In this way, you can avoid going back the same way when you come down the mountain, and directly hike 5 kilometers from the Dream Ancient Trail on the mountain to Zuyuan Village. This way, you can visit both villages. After climbing hundreds of steps from the foot of the mountain, we finally arrived at the village known as "the most beautiful high mountain village in Huangshan". The beauty lies in the sea of clouds, the sunrise and sunset, the stars, the terrain, the drying platforms, and everywhere. A best photography point has been specially set up on the opposite mountain, where you can take a panoramic view of the village. On a good morning, you can see the entire village surrounded by a sea of clouds, full of fairy spirit, like a paradise on earth. This time we had other schedules and didn't stay in the village for a night. It's a pity that we didn't take pictures of the sea of clouds. Next time, we will bring our children and family to experience this paradise on earth. Zuyuan Village has a long history, and there are still ancient trees, bridges, wells and other historical sites in the village, especially the hundreds of years old Taxus chinensis is amazing. Entering the village along the stone road at the entrance of the village, you can see a scene of original rural life. In a trance, it seems to return to the old home in the dream. Before we knew it, it was already past four in the afternoon. We had to rush to Qiyun Mountain in the evening, so we asked the driver who brought us here to pick us up and take us to the bus station. Today's itinerary was very well arranged!

Regarding the wooden pear, all the imagination of it starts with the picture about it. Later, I began to understand it. The only small village in Huangshan City that does not have access to highways, with three sides vacant and three hundred years of history, is located on the ridge. There are only 52 households in a row, like a lost secret. Every year, the days of the sea of clouds are close to one hundred days, and it is known as the most beautiful mountain village in Huangshan. The first episode of the documentary "Awesome Village" is about the cloud village. After reading the documentary, I am worried that it will disappear. ~ There is no road in the village. If you want to arrive, you must follow the 800 steps. On the other hand, wearing Linhai, and entering the sea of clouds, hiding the ancient village that was built in the end of the Ming Dynasty, extending in a step-like manner according to the mountain, located in the mountainside of the bitter bamboo peak of Huangshan City, near the kilometer... the village is completely Isolated from the world, there is no earthly intrusion, birds and dogs, and the wind dances the leaves. The villagers whispers are all natural rhythms. Xikou Town, Xiuning County, Huangshan City Traffic: Arrive at Huangshan/Xiuning, take the urban and rural bus to Xikou, charter to the foot of Mulu Mountain, walk up the mountain along the step mountain road (about 20 Minutes), you can also walk from the Zuyuan Village along the ancient road for about 1.5 hours.
