Dubbed as the "first fairy mountain of Jiangxi", Sanqing Mountain is situated at the border of Shangrao City and Dexing City in Jiangxi province. It is a sacred place for Taoists and also famous for its granite forests, gorges and unique ecological scenes. With an area of 229 square kilometers, the mountain is made up of three main summits: Yujing, Yuhua and Yuxu, of which Yujing is the highest peak, standing at 1,816 meters above sea level. Sanqing Mountain contains about 1000 species of flora and 800 types of fauna, and features beautiful clouds and mist, unique rocks, and strangely-shaped pine trees. Every spring, 2,500 kinds of plants and colorful flowers cover the entire mountain, making the place an oasis to escape from the noisy city and relax your body and mind. (Photo: China.org.cn/Shu Jian)
