Mount Sanqing (Sanqingshan) is a UNESCO World Heritage geopark of weathered granite pillars, pine-clad ridges and walkways pinned to vertical cliffs. On a clear morning the peaks float above a sea of cloud; it is one of the great mountain experiences in eastern China.
三清山是世界遺產地質公園，遍佈風化花崗岩峰柱、松林山脊與懸於絕壁的棧道。晴朗清晨，群峰浮於雲海之上——堪稱華東最壯麗的山岳體驗之一。
Cable car, then plank-walks
You do not climb Sanqing from the bottom. Two cable cars (the South and the East/Jinsha lines) lift you to the high ridge in minutes; from there a network of well-built plank-walks and stairs loops around the famous formations. The walking is moderate but long — expect several hours and a lot of steps.
遊三清山無需從山腳攀登。南部索道與東部（金沙）索道數分鐘即可送你至高處山脊；其上是修建完善的棧道與石階環線，串聯各處奇峰。路程不陡但偏長——預計數小時與大量台階。
Sunrise & the sea of cloud
The cloud sea is most likely after rain, when moist air settles in the valleys overnight. To catch sunrise you stay on the mountain — there are hotels near the upper stations — and walk out to an east-facing viewpoint before dawn. A guide makes this far easier: they watch the forecast and know which platform will be clear.
雨後最易見雲海——濕潤空氣夜間沉積谷中。欲觀日出需宿於山上（上站附近有酒店），破曉前步行至朝東觀景台。有向導會輕鬆許多：他們緊盯天氣，知道哪個平台屆時通透。
