SeeSanqingshan has a large number of strangely-shaped rocks and twisted trees. Many of the trees are ancient rhododendrons, so the mountain is covered in flowers in May.

DoThe main activities here are hiking and admiring the rocks and trees.

EatFood is available in various places on the mountain, but in all cases it is expensive compared to the base of the mountain. The major hotels all have restaurants.

SleepThere are a few hotels near the top of the south ropeway, and one near the top of the east ropeway. Small villages of hotels and restaurants are available at the base of each.

Stay safeStay on marked trails. Be prepared for rapid weather changes and colder temperatures than at the base of the mountain.
