🎧  Listen to Introduction

Sanqingshan National Park covers an area of 22,950 hectares, located in the western part of the Huaiyu Mountain Range in northeastern Jiangxi Province (eastern central China), and was inscribed on the World Heritage List for its unique landscape, which is shrouded in clouds and dotted with bizarre stone pillars and peaks: 48 granite peaks and 89 granite pillars, many of which are shaped like human or animal outlines. Huaiyu Mountain is 1,817 meters above sea level, and its natural beauty is accentuated by the juxtaposition of granite landforms with vegetation and special meteorological conditions, which form an ever-changing and fascinating landscape with bright halos on the clouds and white rainbows. The area is influenced by the subtropical monsoon and the sea, forming a temperate forest island that rises above the surrounding subtropical landscape. There are also forests and numerous waterfalls, some of which are 60 meters high, as well as lakes and springs.
