Sanqing Mountain rivals Huangshan

Sanqing Mountain has three cableways to ascend the mountain: Jinsha Cableway, Waishuangxi Cableway, and Gangshou Cableway. The hiking routes on the mountain are divided into Small Loop, Medium Loop, and Large Loop, allowing visitors to choose freely based on their age and physical strength. After much consideration, we decided to take the Large Loop via Jinsha Cableway both up and down. The red line in Figure 2 shows our route. From Jinsha Cableway, there are many stairs to the core scenic spots. This large loop involves 20,000 steps, and after returning to Jinsha Cableway, we waited in line for over an hour to take the cable car. After the trip, we realized that going up via Gangshou and down via Jinsha is the most energy-saving route. In the off-season, the queue at Jinsha Cableway can be one hour, and in peak season, it can be two hours, so please plan your visit accordingly. Sanqing Mountain features many granite peak forests, with stunning strange peaks and rocks. The core attractions include: 1. Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain: A 128-meter-high granite pillar resembling a giant python soaring into the sky, one of the world's geological wonders. 2. Eastern Goddess: A giant rock shaped like a seated young woman, known together with the Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain as the "Twin Wonders of Sanqing Mountain."
