On January 22, 2024, I arrived at Qiyunshan Mingde Courtyard on the same day as a large area of snow in the south. The next day, the cloud sold snow, and along the ancient road that Xu Xiake climbed, I visited all over Qiyun Mountain. To Xu Xiake's Yumeiyuan, found that Xu Xiake was also the Qiyun Mountain on the winter snowy day, and felt that time and space echoed wonderful. Visit Qiyun Mountain and its second night rock foot Mingdeyuan, Chendeng Jiuli 13 Pavilion, Tiankai Shenxiu Zhenxian Cave, since the ancient inscription stone inscription collection, Yuehuatian Street Xianglu Peak, You Sheng Ersu Yumei, You travel to the Ministry of World Affairs, Qiyun Peak see Qiyun.
From the Yuehuatian Street Visitor Service Center, through the tunnel to the bus point, 35 yuan, cheaper than the ropeway, do not need to go too much back, recommended ropeway, Jingjiao car, cheaper than the ropeway up and down
The Danxia landform of Qiyun Mountain is very amazing. If you live on the mountain, you can also watch the sunrise early in the morning and watch the clouds and mist. It is worth seeing. The ancient village of Xidi is well preserved. It is the beginning of the Huizhou style in southern Anhui. The photo is very popular.
Baiyue Taoism one of the four famous mountains, a stone inserted into the sky and Yunqi, and free tickets must go to climb the Xiake Ancient Road up the mountain, Jiuli 13 Pavilion, see the cliff stone carvings, worship the Daoism god, understand the way, naturally play for two days, live in Tianjie, watch the sunset, sunrise, watch the sea of clouds, watch the Danxia landform, visit the mountain, visit Qiyun Town Night tour Hengjiang is worthwhile
The scenery is beautiful, it is really the south of the Yangtze River in the painting, and the Daochangs are also very easy-going. The only fly in the ointment is that there is a restaurant in the scenic area. The boss is not very good. I asked if I could borrow a socket to flush the phone. The boss said very loudly that it couldn't! A bit speechless, you can't say it well.
The scenery is beautiful, Daojia Xianshan, treasure land, it is worth a visit. If you only go to Yuxu Palace, you can hike from the mountain with general physical strength. If you climb the highest peak, Fanglazhai needs good physical strength. There are a lot of restaurants, canteens and homestays on Yuehua Street, so you don't have to worry about eating, drinking and living. Too lazy to climb the mountain is 60 yuan cable car, get off the cable car to check the ticket, there are many steps behind, up and down, while watching and walking is not tired, people with legs and feet are not recommended to go. Speaking of traffic later, you can walk into the scenic spot, you can take a cable car, you can walk down the mountain, you can take a cable car, you can take a scenic spot (it is difficult to walk on Panshan Road, the capacity is limited, and the scenic spot is not recommended to take it). There is a tunnel near the visitor center on Yuehua Street. The downhill of the tunnel is the mountain view delivery bus. The bus is one hour and the last shift is 16:40. The bus is in order. If you can't grab it, you can wait for an hour or go back to the cable car and hike. Jingjiao bus 35, Panshan 15 minutes, carefully choose motion sickness.
The scenery is good, the price of eating and drinking in the scenic area is reasonable, the popularity is not high, there are few people, and it is good to go out on May 1st and 11th. There will be no crowding or the like. And the mountain is not particularly high. Suitable for family travel.
