It is a mountain so beautiful that Emperor Shun of the Yao and Shun periods gave it a name. Since ancient times, the Chinese believed that if you pass through the first gate of Langshan, the 'Tianxia First Port', you would enter the world of the immortals, not the human world. After passing through the First Port, you will come across the Palgakchae (八角寨). It is a tall and strangely shaped peak with eight octagonal peaks. On the opposite side, competing with them in height is Yongduhyang (龙头香). It is a dizzying rock cliff that resembles a dragon's head. On top of this peak, Taoist practitioners still perform risky acrobatics dozens of times a day to receive orders from travelers and offer sacrifices to the immortals. Langshan was called the world of the immortals by the ancient Chinese who dreamed of a utopia. Through the peaks, travelers recall the relationship between mountains and humans, and climb the 'Nine Nine Heavenly Stairs', the highest peak of Langshan and the most scenic, to think about the meaning of this journey. #2nd part, the best in the world, Huangshan When you enter Anhui Province, there is a signboard that you can easily find anywhere. That is, Huangshan (黃山). It has been considered the best famous mountain in China since ancient times and has received praise from numerous poets and scholars, it is a famous mountain among famous mountains. The first place travelers visit is 'Xishenbong (始信峰)'. It is a peak that means 'only after arriving here did I begin to appreciate beauty'. In addition, there is 'Mongbishenghua (夢筆生花)', a rock that is said to have been created when Li Bai threw his brush. 'Wuyongdam (五龍潭)' and 'Jiulong Waterfall (九龙瀑)' where five dragons are said to live. Like this, Huangshan presents different scenery with every step you take, so travelers will never get bored for a moment. On the way up to the second peak of Huangshan, 'Gwangmyeongjeong (光明顶)', you will meet porters moving busily. You can feel the weight of life from the sight of them carrying up to 260kg of loads for the maintenance of the stairs. After climbing 'Gwangmyeongjeong', the scenic area seen from here is Huangshan's best work, 'Xihai Grand Canyon (西海大峽谷)', spread out like a folding screen. The 40,000 stone steps embroidered between the steep cliffs add to the beauty. At the end of the mountain hike, 'Yukbyeongbong (玉甁峰)', you will sing a song containing the beauty of the world in front of the 'Yinggaeksong (迎客松)' that extends its branches as if to welcome the hikers. #Part 3, Danxia Jingshan (壇下絶境) Xianxia Janglangshan Zhejiang Province, also known as the 'Land of Immortals'. The first journey to this place full of the mystery of the celestial world begins at 'Sinseon-geo (神仙居)'. Sinseon-geo boasts a unique landscape made up of the world's largest igneous rock formation. Large and small rock peaks can be seen beyond the dense pine forest. The imposing Janggunam (將軍巖) and Buljobong (佛祖峰) that resembles Buddha add to the fun of the mountain hike. The highlight of Sinseon-geo is the huge sky bridge 'Namcheon-gyo (南天橋)' that connects a deep valley 1,270m above sea level! Walking on the dizzying 120m long bridge, you can enjoy the feeling of a celestial walking in the sky. 'Gongwoochon (公盂村)', a terraced rice paddy village perched on the side of a mountain, is where terraced rice fields overlap below the mountainside. End your day in Zhejiang Province's Wuling Paradise listening to the farmer's heartfelt folk songs echoing through the quiet village. Another famous mountain in Zhejiang Province is Zhanglang Mountain, where three giant rocks protect the village. The three pillars, "Sanpanshi (三爿石)", stand tall at 824m above sea level. Passing through the small gaps between the rocks that are erected straight in the shape of the character "川 (川)", you can feel the grandeur of nature. #Part 4, Seomseomoksu (纖纖玉手) Jeunsan Mountain Jeunsan Mountain is one of the four major Taoist holy sites in China. The "Dengfeng Bridge (登封橋)" at the entrance to the mountain is said to be a bridge leading to Jeunsan Mountain, the land of immortals. Jeunsan Mountain has a whopping 72 cliffs that are so outstanding that they created this idea of immortals. Looking at the 'Zisogung (紫霄宫
