Don't just know Huangshan! Tianzhushan is the real filming location for Xianxia dramas, right?

Don't just know Huangshan! Tianzhushan is the real filming location for Xianxia dramas, right?✨ The sea of clouds and unique rock formations of Tianzhushan left me speechless! Emperor Wu of Han's "Ancient Southern Mountain" truly lives up to its reputation. I've put together a super detailed guide, so beginners can just follow along 👇 🌿 Must-Visit Photo Spots • Mysterious Valley: A "cave maze" formed by natural rocks. When sunlight filters through the cracks, stand at the intersection of light and shadow to capture a profile shot. With a veiled hat and gauze curtain fluttering, you'll instantly get that Xianxia heroine vibe. • Green Dragon Ridge: Clouds and mist wind around the mountain ridge. On windy days, hold onto your hat and snap photos. With rolling mountains in the background, the sense of being otherworldly is maximized. • Alchemy Lake: The reflections in this high-mountain lake are stunning! Take backlit silhouette photos in the evening, with mountains and clouds mirrored in the water. Any spot on the wooden boardwalk makes for a great shot. • Tianchi Peak: An excellent spot for sunrise and sunset. The panoramic view allows you to see the entire surging sea of clouds. Remember to bring a tripod for time-lapse photography . 🚶 Effort-Saving Itinerary Muyang River Cableway up → Dalongwo Cableway down (personally verified, no queues!) Muyang River Cableway (up) 40 RMB → Yingzhen Peak → Lotus Peak → Green Dragon Ridge → Tianzhu Peak → Tianchi Peak → Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder → Dalongwo Cableway (down) 60 RMB. The entire journey takes 4.5 hours, allowing for a relaxed pace with plenty of photo opportunities. ✅ If you have limited stamina, choose this route! It has many gentle paths, and you won't miss any core attractions. ⚠️ The last cable car is at 17:00. It's recommended to start descending before 16:00. 🏡 Accommodation Options • For mountain views from your bed: Choose the Tianxianxia B&B cluster. It's a 5-minute walk to Dalongwo Cableway from your room, you can see the Milky Way at night, and enjoy freshly slaughtered free-range chicken and spring water tofu. • For value for money: The All Seasons Hotel in the city is quiet, or Hanting offers freshly ground coffee, and both are convenient for reaching the scenic area. • For a premium experience: Fuyuan Resort B&B boasts 360-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows + an infinity pool, perfect for stunning photos. 📌 Tips 1. Beautiful in all four seasons! See azaleas in spring, escape the summer heat (average 22℃), admire colorful foliage in autumn, and enjoy snowscapes in winter . 2. After arriving at Qianshan Station by high-speed rail, take the scenic area shuttle bus directly to the Visitor Center in 50 minutes – super convenient . 3. Wear non-slip shoes for climbing! It's windy at Green Dragon Ridge, so be sure to pay attention to safety when taking photos. No need to jostle with crowds; every photo you take is wallpaper-worthy scenery. This trip to the "Ancient Southern Mountain" was absolutely worth it!
