Sanqing Mountain lies in Shangrao, northeast part of Jiangxi. It is not a good idea to try to cover the mountain in one day. A three-day journey could be ideal for urbanites longing for refreshment.
Day 1
Morning: Take the cable at 9 am to ascend the mountain. At about 100 meters from the cable are many hotels, the average price for a room is 300 yuan . Along the way there are many sights for snapshots including the Heavenly Gate peaks. The Wanshouyuan is a good place to take rest and learn about the Taoist tradition.
Afternoon: Walk along the Western Coast Plank Road. The 4-kilometer road, 1,600 meters over today's sea level, marks the ancient coast line.
Night: Put up a tent along the way and fall asleep in the murmuring of pines, or admire the bright stars. At Nanqingyuan along the plank road, you can find a few hotels that generally charge 450 yuan or more for a room.
Day 2
Morning: Wait for sunrise at the Sunny Coast. A spectacular sight is to see a giant rock shaped like a snake's head suddenly revealed in the dispersed mists.
Noon: Simple lunch nearby Sanqinggong, which is a 1,600-year-old Taoist temple.
Afternoon: Climb the Yujing Peak. At 1,816 meters above sea level, it is the tallest peak in Jiangxi and offers a panoramic view of the entire scenic region.
Night: Put up a tent near the Oriental Goddess Platform in Nanqingyuan.
Day 3
Morning: Take a leisurely walk in the Nanqingyuan area, where you might chance upon golden leopards, monkeys, deer and other animals living among the pines, firs and azaleas.
Afternoon: Leave the mountain by the cable.
