Jianglang Mountain, a World Natural Heritage Site, a National Scenic Area, and a National AAAAA-level Tourist Area, serves as a midway point connecting several interprovincial tourism routes in Southeast China. Located 25 kilometers from the city center, the scenic area covers 11.86 square kilometers and comprises six areas: Three Stone Peaks, Eighteen Bends, Pagoda Mountain, Xunu Lake, Xianju Temple, and the entrance area. Its main feature is its "strange peaks and red cliffs," making it a typical Danxia landform. The main peak of Jianglang Mountain within the scenic area stands at 824 meters above sea level. Three giant rocks on the summit stand at a combined height of 369.1 meters, with a slope exceeding 88°, making it "the most unique peak in China's Danxia landscape." The three peaks of Jianglang Mountain are arranged in the shape of a Sichuan character, changing their shape with every step, blending seamlessly with the clouds. Jianglang Mountain's three unique features are: Three Stones, a Line of Sky, and Great Man Peak. Great Man Peak, a natural wonder, resembles the profile of the great leader Deng Xiaoping, a lifelike figure that captures both spirit and form. The canyon between Lingfeng and its sub-peaks is particularly noteworthy, boasting a height of 312 meters, a length of 298 meters, and a width of less than 4 meters at its widest point. It is considered the "largest narrow-line skylight in China." Literati and scholars throughout history have ascended the mountain to compose poetry, leaving behind countless timeless masterpieces. Famous figures in ancient times, such as Zhang Jiuling, Bai Juyi, Wang Anshi, Lu You, Xin Qiji, and Xu Xiake, all wrote poems and essays about Jianglang Mountain.

A very beautiful scenic spot, Danxia landform, China's first line of sky, there is a world record wing suit flight is here, great.
There is no entrance fee from Monday to Friday, only the shuttle bus ticket is 15 yuan, which is very good. The weekend ticket is 90 yuan per person. The scenery is very beautiful on a sunny day, but it is cloudy today and it is foggy. It is a pity that several attractions in the scenic area have been closed for renovation recently. The ticket is still a dime.
Admission to Jianglang Mountain is free Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) in 2018. Jiangshan Bus No. 202 is available, and it's generally available at various times. The 202 is also available at the train station, and the Urban-Rural Passenger Transport Center offers convenient accommodation and dining options. The summit of Jianglang Mountain is currently closed to the public.
Jianglang Mountain is the first World Heritage Site in Zhejiang Province. We climbed to the summit in heavy wind and rain. Although we didn't see the three unique rock formations, our unwavering determination proved itself.
Friendly reminder: Jianglang Mountain is currently under renovation, so you can't climb to the main peak. You can only climb halfway up the mountain, but the ticket price remains the same. A shuttle bus (15 yuan) will take you to the Eighteen Bends platform, where you can continue your climb to Yixiantian, Kankuopo, Baibuling, Yanxia Pavilion, and Xunu Lake. It's quite a hike... Be careful with sun protection in the summer, and the total tour should take about two hours.
Langfeng was closed due to heavy rain. I stayed at Xiake Pavilion and Dengtianping for half an hour each, waiting for the clouds to clear. God was not unkind to me and let me see the beautiful scenery. When I returned to Huixianyan, the heavy rain suddenly formed three waterfalls on the cliff. I was the only one in the valley, taking shelter from the rain while enjoying the beautiful scenery. I felt like I was in heaven.
The internet said the shuttle bus runs from the visitor center to halfway up the mountain, and that it would leave when full. I was the last one on, and the bus started just after 8:30. As the bus moved along the winding mountain road, the brilliant rapeseed blossoms in the distant fields and the scattered houses looked like a Jiangnan landscape painting!
It's a very magical geological structure. During the tour, I felt awe for nature like a surging river, one wave after another. I thought Sanpian Stone was only a few dozen meters high. When I got off the car at the scenic spot and looked at it from a distance, I was shocked.
Here is a timetable for the high-speed railway station to Jianglang Mountain Scenic Area.
Jianglang Mountain, commonly known as the Three Stones, comprises Shifenglang Peak, Shizhu Sub-Peak, and Shiqiangling Peak, a typical Danxia landform. Xu Xiake visited the mountain three times and praised it in his travelogue, "Xu Xiake's Travels."
It is said that in the past, people would start from the foot of the mountain and slowly climb to the narrow line of sky. Now, they have to transfer to the scenic area bus at the visitor center, which can go all the way to the Kaiming Zen Temple halfway up the mountain, which greatly saves physical energy.
TIPS: 1. There's a temporary parking lot between the first and second parking lots, which is free. Based on the local customs of Jiangshan, other parking lots are likely to charge 10 yuan. 2. No need to exchange tickets; just pay the 15 yuan per person scenic area bus ticket.
Jianglang Mountain is more beautiful from a distance. The view overlooking the mountains and rivers from halfway up the mountain is also quite nice, but it's a pity that there are fewer rapeseed fields.
There is only one attraction, the scenery along the way is average, and many places are not allowed to go.
The first line of sky in the country is really shocking, the rest are okay~~
This 4A scenic area costs 100 yuan. Highlights include: Great Man Peak, Huixian Rock, Jiangshan Such a Beautiful Scenery, One Line Sky, Dengtianping, and Juedingwentian. One Line Sky is 300 meters long and quite spectacular. The ascent and descent to Juedingwentian is quite thrilling, but the summit is a bit disappointing.
The scenery exceeded expectations and the line of sky was very spectacular.
It really takes a lot of physical strength to climb to the top. In fact, we did not reach the top, but just reached the top of the mountain where many people stopped. The road up is steeper. There is a large parking lot at the scenic area service center. He asked to change to the scenic area bus to go up the mountain.
Together with several other places, it has applied for the World Heritage title under the name of China Danxia. The overall size is not large, but because it suddenly appeared in the flat land, it looks quite imposing, and it is also nice to climb to the top and overlook.
Taking advantage of the free global admission in December, I went to Jianglang Mountain. The final section up to the summit wasn't accessible, but I still had a blast. The long section of One Line Sky felt like a ladder to heaven. Baibu Gorge is very narrow and interesting, only one person can pass through. The shuttle bus was 10 yuan round trip, so I took it up and walked out from the Xunu Lake Scenic Area.
It's worth a visit~~ But the weather was not good that day, it was gloomy and foggy, and many famous attractions could not be seen~~ The 88-degree summit was also closed for maintenance~~ But you can still appreciate the other flavor of Jianglang Mountain~~
My trip to Jianglang Mountain was very satisfying; it exceeded my expectations. I took many photos of the scenery, and the weather was beautiful. Jianglang Mountain has unique features that cannot be replicated anywhere else. No wonder Xu Xiake visited it three times. Mo Yan also spoke highly of it.
Jianglang Mountain is one of China's famous Danxia Mountains. How can you truly say you've visited Jianglang Mountain without visiting it? Behold the majestic Three Pian Rocks, the soaring summit to the heavens, the stops and starts as you ascend and descend. The stone steps, carved from the cliffs by hand, hammer by hammer, are incredibly impressive. The winding stone steps, barely wide enough for one person, are both thrilling and somewhat intimidating. But there are even more surprises. The panoramic view of the Three Pian Rocks from the Xia Living Room is best viewed in the afternoon, when the light is at its best. The awe of the narrow strip of sky can only be truly felt in person. In short, a trip to Jianglang Mountain is absolutely worthwhile!
Jianglang Mountain in Jiangshan County is a handsome collapsed mountain, tall and beautiful!
Jianglang Mountain, located in Shimen Town, 25 kilometers south of Jiangshan City, Zhejiang Province, is a national scenic spot and one of China's few remaining World Natural Heritage Sites. The mountain's main structure is composed of three towering boulders. Legend has it that three ancient brothers surnamed Jiang ascended the mountain and transformed into three massive boulders, hence the name Jianglang Mountain. The three boulders rise over 360 meters into the sky, resembling stalagmites and pillars of heaven, their shapes resembling those of a knife or axe. Arranged from north to south in the shape of a Chinese character "川," they are: Langfeng, Yafeng, and Lingfeng, known as the "Three Stones." Langfeng, at 816.8 meters, is known to tourists both domestically and internationally as "the highest peak of China's Danxia." On the cliffs of Langfeng, the Ming Dynasty Neo-Confucianist Zhan Ruoshui inscribed the four characters "Wall Standing Ten Thousand Rens" (i.e., "Wall Standing Ten Thousand Rens") in a cliff inscription. Jianglang Mountain not only combines rocks, caves, clouds, and waterfalls within a single mountain, combining the unique, dangerous, steep, and precipitous features of the three rocks, creating a magnificent and unique spectacle. Furthermore, its vast mountains, lush forests, hidden caves, and flowing springs create enchanting scenery. Whenever clouds and mist swirl, the mists swirl, and the rosy clouds and radiant sunsets shimmer, the sky and mountains often merge into one, blending the clouds and peaks into one. It's no wonder that the Tang poet Bai Juyi praised it, saying, "I wish I could grow wings so I could travel with you intoxicated by the mist and clouds." The great geographer Xu Xiake wrote about Jianglang Mountain during his three visits to the Jiangshan Mountains. He compared it to Yandang Mountain, Huangshan Mountain, and Dinghu Peak, emphasizing its "strangeness," "danger," and "divine" qualities. Jianglang Mountain's scenery has captivated countless tourists, both Chinese and foreign.
It is a major business card of Quzhou tourism and is now a 5A-level scenic spot and a world natural heritage site.
The tickets are not cheap, but now they are free on Mondays, so if you have time, you can go on Mondays.
First, we went to the tourist service center, which was quite large and impressive. After checking our tickets, we took the scenic bus up the mountain to the halfway point.
There is a corridor where you can rest, and there is an old master giving massages, and it is said that his technique is quite good.
The weather was not good and it started to rain, but the vanguard troops still braved the rain and went up the mountain.
First there was a temple, which was just average.
Then we arrived at Huixianyan, where we could take shelter from the rain under the big rocks and pose for photos.
After going up and down, you will reach Yitiantian, one of the three wonders of Jianglang Mountain.
It is indeed the longest and narrowest of China's narrowest cliffs.
The mist and rain are hazy, as if you are in a fairyland!
If you climb to the top, you can see the rice fields with the Chinese Dream pattern at the bottom of the mountain. Later I found out that the rice fields are near the tourist service center.
It is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down. The nearly 90-degree hanging ladder will really challenge your legs.
The scenery is great, but it's too steep. It's a bit hard to go up the mountain, especially for someone like me who doesn't do much exercise.
The mountain is bare and there is no place to shelter from the sun along the way. It is so hot. Bring enough water. There is no water for sale on the top of the mountain.
It seems to be 5A now. The transportation is not very convenient. There are still few special bus routes. It takes more than an hour and a half to get there by bus.
Jianglang Mountain in the clouds and mist has a unique charm, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland in the clouds.
It's a very nice place, not too crowded, with fresh air, beautiful scenery, and dangerous mountains. It's suitable for exercising there.
The three peculiar rocks are very interesting and challenging to climb. It is not suitable for the elderly and children. It is worth a visit.
The most fascinating part is the "Three Rocks". Going to Jianglangshan and climbing to Langfeng Peak will make you feel scared, but not climbing to Langfeng Peak will make you regret it. Finally, the trip is worth it.
The mountain is not very high, but the thrills in some places are comparable to Mount Huashan!
The three stones are very unique from the Danxia landform.
It was a thrilling trip. We climbed the 819-meter main peak and then descended the nearly 90-degree vertical slope of the northern slope, which was truly spectacular. Many places required a complete use of both hands and feet. On my way here, I met a man on the 202 bus who strongly recommended that I avoid the scenic shuttle bus on my way back and instead go down to see the reservoir (Xu Nu Lake). This road was practically deserted, and the natural environment was exceptional. I even saw skinks.
The most convenient way to get to Jianglang Mountain is to take the Jianglang Mountain Nianbadu tourist bus from Jiangshan Railway Station. It opened on August 14, 2016, but there was no information about it online when we went. It generally runs every two hours, so calculating your time is really convenient. Because we didn't know about it beforehand, we only visited Nianbadu and didn't have time to visit Jianglang Mountain. I think more shuttle buses could be available to the various scenic spots; local transportation is a real headache.
Thanks to the G20, Jiangshan's attractions are free for those with Hangzhou ID cards. Ever since Jianglang Mountain was designated a World Heritage Site, I've been hankering after it. I've always wanted to hike with a companion, and this summer, thanks to the G20, I finally got my wish. Since my friend only had one day, we agreed to make a round trip that day. We took the 6:00 high-speed train from Hangzhou to Jiangshan, took a 10-yuan taxi to Chengbei Square, and then boarded the 8:00 bus No. 202, which leaves directly for Jianglang Mountain.
The drive wasn't far, but with stops along the way, it took over an hour to reach the foot of the mountain. From afar, the three rocks stood tall, a green expanse in front, and the green mountains behind them, like a painting! It felt like the journey was worthwhile, even just looking at them from afar.
The scenic area's car took us all the way to the base of the mountain. We chatted and laughed all the way up to the "One Line of Sky." The climb was magnificent, the widest and longest I've ever seen. It took virtually no effort at all. It was worth it, and the summer heat completely melted away. Those who don't like climbing can take photos here before descending to another scenic spot. We decided to tackle the Lang Peak. The afternoon sun beat down on our backs, and our clothes kept getting wet and then dry. We climbed the winding staircase, barely one meter wide. From the summit, we could see views of the mountains and rivers stretching for dozens of miles. We thought the descent would be easy, but the challenge was yet to come! We had to descend the 80-degree staircase backwards, using both hands and feet. Our legs were completely exhausted, but we still thoroughly enjoyed the climb and the sweat. It was so much fun! As dusk approached, we reluctantly left Jianglang Mountain and returned to Hangzhou. We'll come back someday!
Walking along National Highway 205, you can see the three mountains - Jianglang Mountain from a distance. The Jiangshan area of Quzhou is located in the deep mountains at the junction of Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces. It is relatively remote, so Jianglang Mountain is relatively unknown. There are minibuses at the foot of the mountain to go up the mountain, buy tickets, and climb the mountain.
First, we navigated the Eighteen Bends, where the man-made mountain path made the ascent easy. We arrived at Kaiming Zen Temple without any stress. Although the interior was under renovation, we didn't venture inside. Across the street, we could see the stunning cliff carvings of Jiangshan. The path further up gradually became steeper, and in some places, the rock was severely weathered. There were few tourists when we visited, and the breathtaking view of the narrow passage between two mountains was truly spectacular. A shout echoed loudly. Further up, there's a rest area midway up the mountain, but it's currently under renovation and closed to the public. From here, we begin the southern route to Langfeng. The mountain path was carved by stonemasons. A monument marking the completion of the project stands along the way. Seven stonemasons, one welder, and one on-site supervisor worked on it for three years, leaving us in awe. The southern route to the summit is incredibly steep, with many sections jutting off the cliff edge, almost vertical. We had to climb on our hands and knees. Finally, we reached the summit of Langfeng, where the panoramic view rivaled even that of Mount Tai. Note: There are no shops between the midway rest area and the summit. The climb is strenuous, so plenty of water is recommended. We met a buddy at the top of the mountain. We rushed to the wooden house with great anticipation, but were disappointed when we found the doors and windows were closed... He licked his dry lips and helplessly asked us about the way down the mountain via the south line. He said, "I came up via the north line. I was so tired. There was not a single place selling water on the mountain..." Hahaha, it was so desolate. It was a pity that we had no water either.
We descended the mountain from the north route. The vertical iron ladders and slippery stone paths proved more arduous than the south route, so we continued to use our hands and feet. We returned to Kaiming Zen Temple, rested briefly, and then descended. The entire journey took about four hours, an hour longer than expected.
Climbing Jianglang Mountain is quite exciting and also a test of one's will. It's not crowded and is a great experience! It's completely different from the leisurely tours of scenic spots like Tianmu Mountain and Mogan Mountain, and it's worth a visit.
We camped at Fugai Mountain that night, which is said to be more interesting. Unfortunately, we encountered a thunderstorm that night, so we pitched our tent under the eaves of the Fugai Mountain ticket booth. The next day, it continued to rain, so we had to leave the mountain, leaving us with regrets. In the morning, the mountains shrouded in clouds and mist were truly a fairyland!
If you like climbing and excitement, you must go climbing. If you have bad knees, please be careful, haha. It's so cool in the sky.
Tianshan Mountain is in one color, Yunfeng is in one, and Jianglang Mountain, a world natural heritage site, is well managed and the service staff are very good.
Typical Danxia landform, "the landscape is so beautiful".
It's a very beautiful mountain. If you go to Jiangshan, you must go to Jianglang Mountain and Nianbadu. But my knees hurt that day, so I only climbed to Yixiantian and failed to reach the summit.
Jianglang Mountain is a must-see attraction when you arrive in Jiangshan City. Unfortunately, there is no cable car for the elderly, so I gave up after climbing to the first line of sky. I will try to climb to the top next time.
It is well-known, the One Line Sky is very spectacular and the transportation is convenient.
Jianglang Mountain is a national 4A-level scenic spot located in Shimen Town, Jiangshan City, with Danxia landform.
The main body of the mountain is composed of three towering boulders. Legend has it that in ancient times, three brothers surnamed Jiang climbed to the top of the mountain and turned into three huge rocks. On the day of the climb, there was heavy fog, and no one could see the group for more than a hundred meters. The group walked back and forth, but only their voices could be heard but no one could see them.
Jianglang Mountain has beautiful scenery, with scenic spots including Reflection Lake, Huixian Rock, Xiake Pavilion, Natural Chinese Painting, One Line Sky, Sky Bridge, Hupao Spring,
It is considered a local feature. If you come here and don’t climb Jianglang Mountain, it would be meaningless. Don’t be scared, it’s not that scary. There are stairs that go straight up and down, but they are inside, not on the cliffs.
Jianglang Mountain is a famous scenic spot in Jiangshan. We went during National Day, so it was definitely busier than usual. We arrived late, at 3:30 PM, and tickets for the attraction close at 4:30 PM, so we had to walk as far as we could. So, if you're serious about hiking, you should arrive early. There are buses to the scenic area, but it seems that driving your own car is restricted during National Day. We agreed to take the bus up, but there's a long mountain road from the parking lot to the entrance. So, I recommend taking the bus to conserve your energy. The scenery up the mountain is absolutely stunning, but be prepared for the climb to get tougher as you get higher.
Spectacular and worth visiting, but please be careful!
I must recommend the 5A-level scenic spot in Jiangshan, Quzhou. It is truly worthy of its name. In addition to the scenery, it also has its unique "One Line Sky". It is worth experiencing. The 90-degree right-angle slope is also worth experiencing. It is suitable for guys who like adventure and for those with good physical strength. Climbing to the top of the mountain is unique. It is recommended to go up from the other side, then go down to "One Line Sky" and return to the starting point. Some people call this route reverse traversal. It is worth remembering.
Jianglang Mountain is part of the World Natural Heritage China Danxia. Its main feature is the Three Peaks: Langfeng, Yafeng, and Lingfeng. These three peaks rise dramatically, piercing the clouds and creating a truly spectacular sight. However, the breathtaking view from within is limited to the narrow strip of sky, while the Langfeng Sky Tour offers a thrilling escape. For those short on time, it's recommended to simply visit the "Heaven Half Jianglang" area at the foot of the mountain, saving the time, expense, and effort of a climb.
Due to the slippery road caused by the rain, we were unable to reach the top of the mountain, but the trip was worthwhile. Although it was foggy, we were able to see the panoramic view of Jianglang Mountain and the famous Three Rocks.
A masterpiece of nature!
Jianglang Mountain is located in Jianglang Township, 25 kilometers south of Jiangshan City. Legend has it that in ancient times, three brothers surnamed Jiang climbed to the top of the mountain and turned into three huge rocks, so it is also called "Three Pieces of Stone". The three huge rocks rise from the ground to the sky, with an altitude of more than 800 meters. They are shaped like stalagmites and pillars of heaven, and they look like they were cut by knives and axes. They are arranged in the shape of a "Chuan" from north to south, namely: Langfeng, Yafeng and Lingfeng.
Not bad, just came back, put a photo up to share with everyone
There's a free shuttle bus from the ticket office outside that takes you to the scenic area entrance, so don't be fooled by touts. I recommend packing light; just enough money and water is enough. I packed a bag full of food and was exhausted! The first half of the climb was relatively flat, and I didn't feel anything. After passing the "One Line Sky" and reaching the summit, many people are put off by the steep, zigzagging path, with little shade, and a bare expanse of ground. Don't give up after climbing a section; you'll find it even harder down the mountain. Just keep going. Anyone who has the courage to complete the climb is a true hero, and I'm even praising myself for that (~ ̄▽ ̄)~ Incidentally, I have great admiration for the construction workers. It's such a tough job for them to carry construction materials up such a steep mountain. And the cleaning ladies, who climb up and down every day, really struggle. So, I urge everyone to be mindful of littering and environmental protection when out and about.
The Jianglang Line of Sky in Quzhou is so cool! Wingsuit riders even soared over it, and I was amazed by the wonders of nature. The scenery is beautiful, but the climb can be steep and windy, so be careful! It's definitely worth a visit. Tickets are 100 yuan, half price with a student ID, and there's a free shuttle to the foot of the mountain.
Jianglang Mountain is a national key scenic spot with beautiful scenery. However, the climb is quite tiring. We only climbed to the Yanxia Pavilion, where Xu Xiake left his footprints, to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
When I reached the summit of Jianglang Mountain, I was pleasantly surprised by the stunning scenery. They say the most beautiful scenery is found on the highest peaks, but don't assume the withered trees mean there's nothing to see in winter. The true beauty lies in that pure white.
At 12 o'clock, I went to the ticket office, took my ID card and high-speed rail ticket, and exchanged it for the ticket;
Jianglangshan is the most stingy, with only a 1 yuan invoice as an entrance fee;
They all cost about 1 yuan, and we ran into a few tour groups, and there was no one checking tickets at the entrance.
It is a unique mountain with a long and narrow line of sky. The road down the mountain on the north line is very dangerous and the scenery is beautiful. The shuttle bus going up and down the mountain is only 10 yuan, which is a reasonable price.
From a distance, there are two mountains; from close up, there are three mountains. When you go in, there are no mountains. When you go against the light, you can’t see the mountains. It’s amazing, a creation of nature!
The climb from Dengtianping to Wentian Pavilion on Jianglang Peak and then down the mountain via the Tianqiao is incredibly treacherous, with some sections even dipping 90 degrees to the horizontal. The vertical descent leaves legs and feet trembling. Jianglang Mountain's beauty remains undimmed even in the rain and fog, especially the greenery: the trees, the branches, the grass. It's truly intoxicating, even without the green itself.
Many 4a scenic spots now have 5a listed in their details.
Let's just call Jianglang Mountain 5. Nowadays, it takes about one hour and forty minutes for young people to reach the middle of the mountain by car. The top peak, Langfeng Tianyou, was closed on January 1, 2018. There was a lot of fog on the day I went there. I went up from Yitiantian to Kankeling, which may be called Kankeling or Lankeling, I really can't remember. Yitiantian is spectacular. If it weren't for the heavy fog, it would have a sense of wonder.
p.s. Langfeng should be the most essential scenic spot, after all, it is a place to express emotions when you climb up to it. It is closed now. The entrance fee is 80 yuan and the round-trip minibus ticket is 30 yuan, which is a bit not very cost-effective.
