Route Introduction
- Following the ancient Ming pilgrimage path from Nanyan Palace past the Yellow Dragon Cave and Chaotian Palace to the Golden Summit, this is about 8 km with 800 m of ascent.
- The thousand-year-old stone stairs wind past the cliff-hugging Zixiao and Nanyan palaces up to the mist-shrouded Taihe Palace at the summit, capturing the full atmosphere of this Taoist sacred mountain.
- The worn stones grow mossy and slippery, so wear grippy shoes; consider staying overnight in the mountain hotels to watch the sunrise over the sea of clouds.
