The seriously underrated fairy mountain is a hidden gem right next to Huangshan

When it comes to Anhui tourism, 99% of people immediately think of Huangshan🏔️ BUT! Just 40 kilometers north of Huangshan lies a Taoist fairy mountain that even locals often overlook—Qiyun Mountain! Historically known as "Baiyue," it is one of the four famous Taoist mountains on par with Huangshan~

【A Lesser-Known Taoist Mountain with a Fairy Aura】🧚‍♀️
📍Location: Qiyun Mountain Town, Xiuning County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province
🎫Tickets: Off-season 55 RMB / Peak season 68 RMB
🕒Opening Hours: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Qiyun Mountain, overshadowed by Huangshan’s brilliance, is truly a fairyland fallen to earth!🌸 After the rain clears, standing on the summit surrounded by mist, it feels like a 3D fairyland filter is naturally applied! Every snap looks like a blockbuster shot📸 The Huizhou-style villages hidden in the sea of clouds are even more magical than a fairyland!
