Mount Qincheng is divided into front mount and back mount. Front one is famous for religion Dao, the back one is famous for the scenery.

Very relaxing. There are v a lot of temples. Look there is plenty of info on the site online. Trip advisor does not need my input just wanted to rate it. I liked it.

The views are worth the hike. This place is so peaceful even with all the tourists there, still a nice place. Enjoy the hike, take the boat and the cable car, a last 45 min. hike before you reach the pagoda. Amazing
