Scenic spot introduction:

Sanqing Mountain in Shangrao is known for its four natural wonders: "strange peaks and rocks, ancient trees and flowers, flowing springs and waterfalls, and sea of clouds and fog." Since ancient times, it has enjoyed the reputation of "a place of peace and tranquility, unparalleled in the world, and the highest fairy peak in the south of the Yangtze River." Sanqing Mountain is named after the three peaks of Yujing, Yuxu, and Yuhua, which are as if the three highest gods of Taoism, Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing, are sitting on the top of the mountain. Yujing Peak With an altitude of 1,819.9 meters, it is known as an open-air museum of ancient Chinese Taoist architecture. In a relatively small area, it displays unique granite pillars and peaks, and combines rich granite stone shapes with a variety of vegetation, changing landscapes from near and far, and stunning climate wonders, creating a unique landscape aesthetic effect in the world and presenting fascinating natural beauty. Therefore, it was selected as one of the "Five Most Beautiful Peak Forests in China" by the National Geographic China magazine, and Chinese and American geologists also unanimously believe that this is "the most beautiful granite on the edge of the western Pacific Ocean."
As a world natural heritage site, world geological park, national natural heritage and national geological park, Sanqingshan has extremely rich natural landscapes. You can see nine types of landforms, including peaks, peak walls, peak clusters, stone forests, peak pillars, stone cones, rock walls, canyons and shaped stone landscapes, as well as clear lakes, streams and waterfalls. There are also 2,373 species of higher plants, making it one of the areas with the richest plant species in China's subtropical regions. It is also the distribution center of the genus Pseudotsuga of the pine family in the world, as well as 1,827 species of wild animals that have been identified, including a large number of rare and unique species. It is a veritable treasure house of biology.
Famous mountains naturally have religious culture. The rise and fall of Sanqing Mountain has always been closely related to the rise and fall of Taoism. Ge Hong is the "founder of Sanqing Mountain" and the first propagator of Taoism in Sanqing Mountain. Later, the incense of Sanqing Mountain gradually flourished, and many cultural relics and historical sites were left behind. The relics that people can see today are the best expression of culture, and the incense of Sanqing Mountain has never stopped, becoming a holy place for believers to worship.
