Sanqing Mountain lies in the northeast of Jiangxi Province. These make it become natural-and-culture scenery with Chinese traditional culture, natural beauty and a large biodiversity.

Sanqing Mountain has high geographic, aesthetics and culture value, combining fantastic natural scenery, especially the forest of granite hills scenery, and Taoism culture with thousand years of history.

This peaceful mountain acclaimed as "The Land of Peach Blossoms" is famous for its three peaks: Yujing Peak, Yuhua Peak, and Yuxu Peak, which resemble the three gods worshipped in Taoism (Sanqing means "Three Pure Ones" in Chinese). The main peak Yujing Peak is 1,817 metres above sea level, where a huge stone named "Shengtian Shi" stand. It is said people who have faith in Taoism will ascend to heaven if they climb this stone. On the way to the summit of Sanqing Mountain, "Nushen Feng" or "Goddess Peak" shouldn't be missed. This goddess is more than 60 m high. Legend has it that she was the only daughter of an old man who made a living by gathering medicinal herbs. His daughter let out a secret about the supreme deity of Taoism, so she had to receive the punishment of being turned into a stone mountain.

With beautiful clouds, mist and strange-shaped pine trees, Sanqing Mountain is a fairyland far from the hustle and bustle of city life.  Piles of clouds give Sanqing Mountain marvelous scenery at sun rise and set: they become splendidly red, as if half the sky were on fire.

The mountain is shrouded in mist for about 200 days each year. On misty days, dense fog envelops the mountain completely and makes you think you are wandering on the clouds. Once in a while, wind blows away the mist, and a stiff, imposing peak suddenly appears right in front of you. 

About 80 percent of Sanqing Mountain is covered by primeval forests. More than 2,500 kinds of plants exist here. Pine trees are a special attract on Sanqing Mountain. Many years of exposure to wind, sunshine and rain have twisted their branches and wrinkled their trunks and bark, which has given them strength and charm like old men's wisdom. A 500-year-old pine tree on the 1,500-meter-high Yutai platform is a good example of the mountain's pine trees. The tree is 1.1 meters in perimeter and three meters in height. Its branches twist like a snake, while its roots are anchored deep in the narrow gaps between rocks. [Close]
