The region where the Sanqing Mountain is located saw frequent and violent orogenic movements in geological history, which explains why the mountain can reach the clouds.

The long periods of erosion and the effect of gravity collapse has also contributed to the wonderful view of towering cliffs and deep, secluded valleys.

The Sanqing Mountain has 64 fantastic peaks and 382 grotesque rocks.

The highest peak of the mountain range is the Yujing Peak standing at 1,816.9 metres above sea level. To the north of the Yujing Peak are two peaks standing parallel - the Yuxu Peak with an altitude of 1,776 metres above sea level and and the 1,752-metre-high Yuhua Peak. The three peaks tower into the sky like three immortals sitting in a line with hovering clouds around their shoulders.

The mountain is also known for its ancient pine trees of various gestures. The plants there belong to 157 families, 500 genera, and 1,088 species. The rhododendron flowers dotted over the hills and slopes in late spring and early summer have been a magnet for tourists from both home and abroad.

The marvellous spectacle of the sea of clouds provokes an image of a wonderland. Furthermore, many spectacular meteorological sights often occur on the mountain, adding to its mystery.
