If you want to relax, climbing a mountain might be a good choice. I went there in early June when it was raining, but the misty rain made the whole mountain look even more beautiful. The process was also interesting. The back mountain of Qingcheng gave me a feeling of tranquility. At a glance, it was all green, very friendly to my eyes, and I was crazily inhaling oxygen. There are many streams and small waterfalls running through the mountains. Sitting on the Baiyun Cableway and looking at the misty Qingcheng Mountain was like entering a fairyland. All the photos were taken with the original camera of the phone, I liked it so much!
