How it came to be
Mount Sanqing in north-eastern Jiangxi, China, is a sacred Taoist mountain. Its three main peaks are likened to the Three Pure Ones, the highest Taoist deities, which gave the mountain its name. Yujing, the highest, is 1,817 metres.
The mountain is granite, and faulting, weathering and erosion have shaped 48 peaks and 89 pillars, many resembling people or animals. There are waterfalls over 60 metres high, lakes and springs, and halos and white rainbows appear in the clouds. A temperate forest survives like an island above the subtropical lowlands.
It became a national geopark in 2005 and was inscribed in 2008 for its natural beauty. Walkways suspended on the cliffs give access to the scenery.
