青城后山
The Back Mountain of Mount Qingcheng, known for its streams, waterfalls and primeval forest. Hike the Wulong and Feiquan ravines from Tai’an Ancient Town for cool, peaceful scenery.
The Back Mountain of Qingcheng lies about 15 km northwest of the Front Mountain, which is dominated by Taoist temples. Here, nature takes center stage. Tai’an Ancient Town is the starting point and has the Tai’an Ancient Temple as well as clusters of farmhouse restaurants. The classic route follows Wulong Gully uphill, passing Cuiying Lake and Baiyun Temple, and reaches Youyi Village. From there, you can take the cable car or walk down along Feiquan Gully. The full hike takes about 5–6 hours. Entry costs about 20 yuan, and the cable car is extra. From Qingcheng Mountain Station, a bus or taxi takes about 40 minutes to Tai’an Ancient Town. Summer weekends are crowded, so it is worth staying overnight.
