## About Qiyun Mountain

Known in ancient times as “White Mountain,” Qiyun Mountain lies 33 km west of the centre of Huangshan City. It takes its name from the phrase “a single rock piercing the sky, level with the clouds.” It is one of China's four great Taoist mountains and a representative site of Danxia landforms. It is now a national key scenic and historic interest area and, together with Huangshan and Jiuhua Mountain, is known as one of the three great mountains of the southern route.
Qiyun Mountain's scenery is enchanting, with peculiar peaks, strange rocks, secluded caves, and numerous lakes, pools, springs and waterfalls. The most captivating are Incense Burner Peak, which resembles a mountain in its own right; Stone Bridge Rock, a marvel of nature; the Immortal Cave, with its mysterious depths; the clear, serene Yunyan Lake; and the Zhulian Spring, whose cascade scatters like gold and jade.
