-Mount Qingcheng
Inscribed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 2000, the Mount Qingcheng is praised for being one of the most peaceful places under heaven. It is one of the birth places of Taoism and has a history of over 2,000 years. During the Han Dynasty, the emperor came here to study Taoism, and found his Taoist way in the fifth cave. All of the palaces, pavilions, and towers (Jianfu Palace, Shang Qing Palace, Zushi Palace, Yuan Ming Palace, Laojun Pavilion, Wang Qing Palace etc.) are built around the fifth cave, it is the heart of the area. Zhang Daoling, formerly known as Zhang ling, one of the great masters of Taoism, came here and created Wu Dou Mi Dao-the earliest sect of Taoism, and after this he was known as the father of Taoism. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the famous Taoist Du Guangting came to Qingcheng Mountain, who later was one of the great masters of Taoism and made influential contributions to the development of Taoism.
Activities for today: Self-paid activities
After hotel breakfast, drive about 1 hour to Xiling Snow Mountain. We will take the cable car up to the ski resort to enjoy some optional activities, such as skiing, snowmobiling, sledding, hot air ballooning, flying disc, etc.
Notes:
1. The optional activities are at your own expense for they are charged according to time.
2. The hot air ballooning is tethered flight. The hot air balloon is anchored to the ground by a rope and is let out slowly. You will float up gently and be able to watch the scenery transform as you ascend. This option is particularly favored for those who are scared of the thought of flying up too high. Generally these flights last about 15 minutes and reach approximately 100 meters.
