Mount Qingcheng is famous for its serenity with verdant evergreen forests through the year, and the peaks are all round, looking like a green town standing here in the distance, hence the name Qingcheng, literally a green city.
The mountain is divided into the front range and the rear range. The front mountain is the main part of the scenic area, where lies the Taoist temples and other historical sites. The rear range is quiet with a larger area and primeval forests, which is a good place for mountaineers.

Mt. Qingcheng is one of the birthplaces of Taoism, a quite widespread religion in China. You can come across Taoist temples hidden in the woods from time to time while climbing the mountain. If you are interested in these temples, you can follow the pilgrims to learn more about Taoism, or pray before the gods. The most famous temples include Jianfu Palace, Zushi Palace, Tianshi Cave and Laojun Tower on the highest peak.
The cable car is available so that you can save your energy and have an overlook of the whole mountain on the cable car. You can also have a boat trip on Yuecheng Lake in the front mountain or on Cuiying Lake in the rear mountain. But you need to pay extra fees for these two projects.
