Qingtai Pass

青苔关

An ancient mountain pass on the Hubei–Anhui border within the Dabie Mountains National Forest Park, with old road remains and highland forest scenery.

Qingtai Pass lies at the northern tip of Luotian County, on the border between Hubei and Anhui provinces. It was a historic pass linking north and south across the Dabie Mountains, and tradition says it was already garrisoned during the Southern Song dynasty. Remains of the ancient road and pass can still be seen. The surrounding Qingtai Forest Farm has dense trees and clear streams and stays cool in summer. It is one of the five scenic areas of the Dabie Mountains National Forest Park. Visitors are few, making it a good stop when driving through, and it can be combined with Tiantangzhai or Bodaofeng. Mountain roads have many bends, so drive with care.
