Mount Sanqing, which is next to Wuyuan in the North, has not only the "grandeur, danger, steepness, beauty and seclusion" of the five famous mountains in China, but also the "oddity" of Mount Huangshan. It is reputed as the most "immortal mountain on earth". Mount Sanqing is not only beautiful, but also a Taoist ancestral court with a long history. Each famous peak here is closely related to Taoist legends.

Mount Sanqing's West coast scenic area is known as "the hometown of cloud and mist and the gallery of pines and stones". It is the broadest scenic spot of Mount Sanqing. A plank road, approximately 4 kilometers long and only 2 meters wide, was built on the 1600-meter high cliff. Walking along it is like walking through clouds and driving fog, which is both breathtaking and exciting. Apart from the high-altitude plank road, the West coast scenic area is also known for three wonders: the grand canyon, the famous ancient trees, and the sea of clouds. The sea of clouds is the most amazing. In addition to the ordinary sea of clouds, there are also roaring "loud clouds" and surging "waterfall clouds", which are rare in other places.
