Yunqiu Mountain
云丘山
A national 5A mountain scenic area in Xiang’ning County, with ancient villages such as Taerpo and Kangjiaping converted into guesthouses, plus clusters of ice caves and Taoist heritage sites.
Yunqiu Mountain lies in the southeast of Xiang’ning County and is a national 5A scenic area. Canyons, waterfalls, strange peaks and Taoist temples alternate across the mountain. The ice cave clusters stay frozen year-round, and the apricot blossoms of spring and the red foliage of autumn are both famous.
Within the scenic area, the thousand-year-old villages of Taerpo and Kangjiaping have been converted into guesthouses and folk-culture streets. You can spend a night in a cave dwelling and experience the folk customs of southern Shanxi. Around the second day of the second lunar month, a Zhonghe Festival temple fair is held.
Ticket and shuttle prices follow the scenic area’s announcements. The mountain is about 80 km from Linfen city proper, so plan for a full day.
