Xu Xiake didn’t deceive me! A fairy mountain more stunning than Huangshan has appeared!

Xu Xiake climbed this mountain twice within three years, marveling at its "balance of yin and yang, replenishing yang will surely come"! After Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty successfully prayed for a child here, he ordered the construction of the "Xuantian Taisu Palace" and bestowed the name "Qiyun Mountain," making it one of the four famous Taoist mountains alongside Wudang, Longhu, and Qingcheng! 📍Qiyun Mountain, Xiuning County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province 🚅 Take the high-speed train to Huangshan North Station 🉑 then take a bus directly to the mountain ⭐ Core features: Danxia landform × Taoist culture × cliff inscriptions × Huizhou-style ancient villages, known together with Huangshan as "Huangbai" 🚶🏻‍♂️ Recommended hiking route (large loop): Yuehua Cableway up the mountain → Wangxian Tower → Shouzi Rock → One Day Gate → Zhenxian Cave → Three Day Gate → Yuehua Sky Street → Taisu Palace → Xiaohutian → Yuxu Palace → Ziyun Pass → Fangla Cave → Danxia Corridor → Fangla Village → Highest Peak → Dongtian Fudi 📸 Must-visit photo spots: ✅ Zhenxian Cave Enjoy many cliff inscriptions such as the "Heavenly Open Divine Beauty" ✅ Yuehua Sky Street A Huizhou-style ancient village on the cliff, still home to many locals, a great place to rest and resupply ✅ Xiaohutian Gourd-shaped stone archway with dinosaur footprint fossils on the cave ceiling; legend says Lü Dongbin practiced alchemy here ✅ Yuxu Palace A Taoist palace embedded in the cliff, housing a stele by Tang Bohu; Emperor Qianlong even inscribed it as "The Number One Famous Mountain in Jiangnan" ✅ Fangla Village The towering "Cloud Ladder" echoes the small house on the mountaintop like Sun Wukong’s, extremely thrilling! 👀 Besides the mountain scenery, Qiyun Town offers a variety of rich intangible cultural heritage activities, including Hengjiang Golden Dragon Dance, Iron Flower Beating, Fish Lantern Parade, and fireworks shows—must-see! This was my day living like an immortal on Qiyun Mountain! A sincerely impressive scenic area, truly the pinnacle of Huangshan night tours—don’t miss it! 🏨 For accommodation, choose Yuehua Resort Hotel in Qiyun Town, equipped with laundry and rest areas. You can join the intangible cultural heritage night tour right downstairs, and the Yuehua Cableway is just a 5-minute walk away, very convenient!
