This place integrates Danxia landform, cliff carvings, Taoist culture, and mountain – and – water scenery. It’s surrounded by clouds and mist all year round and is truly a Taoist fairy mountain.
I just came back from a trip here and have organized a 2 – day – 1 – night travel guide. Remember to bookmark it first!

⛰️|Qiyun Mountain Resort
📍|Qiyunshan Town, Xiuning County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province
🚄|Take the high – speed rail to Huangshan North Station. There’s a direct bus, or it takes 30 minutes by taxi.

Day❶: Arrive at the scenic area – Check in at the Tree House of Freeland – Take a bamboo raft on the Hengjiang River to enjoy the landscape – Visit Dengfeng Bridge – Have a night tour in Qiyun Town
Day❷: Watch the sunrise and sea of clouds on Qiyun Mountain, go sightseeing on foot – Return

🏡Accommodation Recommendation
We stayed in the Tree House of Freeland with our friends this time. Each tree house has a unique shape. The tree trunks pass through the houses and the dense forest is just outside the window. Hidden in the mountains and fields, you can truly live in nature.
Besides the tree houses, there are also an animal farm, mini – golf, camping activities, etc. It’s a great experience for family trips or trips with friends!

【Qiyun Mountain Hiking Route】
Take the Yuehua Cableway up the mountain – Wangxian Tower – Dongtianfudi (Cave – heaven and Bliss – land) – Yuehua Tianjie (Moonlight Heavenly Street) – Taisu Palace – Xiaohutian – Yuxu Palace – Wulaofeng (Five – Elder Peak) – Ziyunguan – Fanglazhai – Danxia Mysterious Corridor – The highest peak – Go down the mountain
✅The above route doesn’t waste your time and you can visit every photogenic spot. It takes 5 hours and you can have a meal at Yuehua Tianjie.
✅Other Hiking Tips:
1⃣️The cableway operates from 8:15 to 16:50. Don’t miss the time to go down the mountain.
2⃣️If you want to watch the sunrise, you need to drive up the mountain early in the morning and then hike.
2⃣️Travel light. There are quite a lot of steps.
3⃣️Bring water and small snacks to replenish energy.
4⃣️A hiking stick is very necessary and it’s easier to climb the steps.
【Main Check – in Spots】
1⃣️Yuehua Tianjie
It’s a village built on a cliff and is the main residence of Taoist priests and villagers on the mountain. The Huizhou – style buildings with white walls and black tiles look like a fairyland when photographed from above in the morning with clouds and mist.
2⃣️Yuxu Palace
It’s built according to the mountain recess and is a red – walled Taoist temple in the cliff. It looks like a place for cultivating immortality.
3⃣️Fanglazhai
Also known as Dusong Peak. The solitary peak stands tall into the sky. There’s a steep mountain – climbing path that leads directly to the white – house on the top. It’s very impressive when photographed from above.
4⃣️Danxia Mysterious Corridor
The unique Danxia cliff corridor. You can overlook the mountains in the distance and it’s very spectacular.
5⃣️Dengfeng Bridge
It’s an arch bridge with nine arches and ten piers. Take a bamboo raft once and travel on the water to enjoy the Huizhou – style buildings and mountain – and – water scenery on both banks.
