Lingyan (Spirit Rock)
The wonder of Lingyan Feidu (Flying Crossing) is such that even the great poet Xie Lingyun could not part the cloud veil and the tangled rocks and vines to glimpse the mysteries of this immortal mountain. One can only imagine how much he must have regretted it. So, however arduous the journey, press on until you reach your goal.
¥50; Lingyan + Fangdong ¥90 · 2–3 hours
Sanzhe Waterfall (Three-Tier Falls)
Sanzhe Waterfall pours over three cliff drops, forming upper, middle and lower falls, with the middle fall the most striking. Tucked away in a secluded spot, it escaped even the notice of Xu Xiake and did not reveal its true face until the 21st century. That alone makes it worth a visit.

Lingfeng (Spirit Peak)
Lingfeng Scenic Area best showcases the distinctive strange peaks and rocks of Yandang Mountain and is a must-see. By day you can climb, splash about in the water, explore caves and visit temples, but the classic way to experience Lingfeng is at night. Under the night sky, the Shijie rock formation appears as if divine beings had descended from heaven, vivid and lifelike. No wonder Guo Moruo lingered here too.
Daytime ¥45; night ¥45 · 2–3 hours
Yuzeng Peak
Yuzeng Peak is the totem of Central Yandang Mountain and holds an important place in the Central Yandang scenic area. It soars into the clouds, standing alone while myriad peaks bow before it. Halfway up its flank lies the exquisitely beautiful Yuhong Cave (Jade Rainbow Cave), said to be where the mountain's founding patriarch once lived and cultivated.

Guanyin Cave
Guanyin Cave lies on the western foot of Meiling in Yandang Mountain and has drawn crowds since the Tang dynasty. The cave is a natural formation: inside, a stone pillar hangs down to the ground, and Guanyin figures are carved on the cave ceiling and the surrounding walls.
