"The Sanqing Mountain is the hometown of clouds, a gallery of pine trees and
fantastic rocks, and is a great, natural Chinese painting," said Qin Mu, a
famous Chinese prose writer after viewing the magnificent and enchanting scenery
of the mountain.
The mountain combines the imposing view of Taishan Mountain, the steep of
Huashan Mountain, the curling clouds of Hengshan Mountain, the waterfall of
Lushan Mountain, and the serenity of the Emei Mountain.
It is no wonder that in ancient times people believed the mountain was
inhabited by immortals.
Situated in Shangrao in East China's Jiangxi Province, the Sanqing Mountain
is a national key scenic and historic interest area, a national 4A scenic
resort, a national geopark, one of the first batch of the national natural
heritage sites, as well as a national patriotism education base, and a national
model scenic area.
But it does not rest on its laurels. It is in the process of applying for the
titles of World Natural Heritage and World Geopark.
As the mountain's unique granite landscape has increasingly captured
worldwide attention, its administration committee is going to organize the First
International Symposium on Granite Geology and Landforms from July 24-28 this
year.
