Holy land of Mount Qingcheng


The entrance to Mount Qingcheng.We arrived at around 10.30am. It took us an hour to get there by car. Mt.Qingcheng is known to be a Holy Land of Taoism. It has an altitude of 2434meters high. It includes 36 mountain peaks, 8 caves and 108 scenic spots. It is known to be the birth place of Taoism.

You are looking at the back of the entrance.This will be the last thing i see again in 5 hours. LOL. Here we go! I have taken pictures along the way during the adventure and all these pictures are in order as we climb the mountain and back.


I thought it was odd they kept these two trees in the middle of the pathway but wait, theres a reason for that.Read the story behind these trees in the pic. below.Most of these trees are at least 250 yrs old.




A little surprise on the way.Took the less path traveled and guess what i found.


We are on the way to the cable car station but before we get there, theres a lake to cross.


Thats the Wangshi corridor jst up ahead.




Is this the chinese version of Karma Sutra? LOL.


Lake YueCheng.
