The scenery in the back mountains of Qingcheng is beautiful and totally worth staying for one night. You can choose to stay in Youyi Village or Baiyun Ancient Village.
If you don’t have enough time, a day trip is also possible.
There are many hiking routes in Qingcheng Back Mountain, generally they are:
Route A: (Small Ring Line) Tai’an Ancient Town - Jinli Cableway (upward) - Youyi Village - Longyin Plank Road - Wulong Bridge - Tai’an Ancient Town.
Route B: (Middle Ring Line) (clockwise): Tai’an Ancient Town - Wulong Bridge - Longyin Plank Road - Youyi Village - Baiyun Cableway (upward) - Cuiying Lake - Feiquangou - Tai’an Ancient Town.
Route C: (Middle Ring Line) (Counterclockwise): Tai’an Ancient Town - Feiquangou - Cuiying Lake (turn left and walk parallel) - Youyi Village - Longyin Plank Road - Wulong Bridge - Tai’an Ancient Town.
Route D: (Grand Ring Line) (clockwise) Tai’an Ancient Town - Wulong Bridge - Longyin Plank Road - Youyi Village - Xiong’er Pavilion - Baiyun Temple - Baiyun Ancient Village - Cuiying Lake - Feiquangou ——Taian Ancient Town.
Route E: (Grand Ring Line) (Counterclockwise) Tai’an Ancient Town - Feiquangou - Cuiying Lake - Baiyun Ancient Village - Baiyun Temple - Xiong Erting - Youyi Village - Longyin Plank Road - Wulong Bridge ——Taian Ancient Town.
Route F: Tai’an Ancient Town - Wulong Bridge - Longyin Plank Road - Youyi Village - Baiyun Cableway (upward) - Baiyun Ancient Village - Xuanlu - Tongtian Cave - Baiyun Temple - Baiyun Ancient Village - — Cuiying Lake — Feiquangou — Tai’an Ancient Town.
It is recommended to take the Baiyun Cableway up Route F, which saves a lot of energy and time. The descent from Feiquangou will not be so strenuous. It usually takes 1.5-2 hours from Tai’an Ancient Town to Youyi Village. You can take a look at my travelogue “Beautiful Dujiangyan No. 21 - Taoyuan Wonderland Qingcheng Back Mountain”, the link to the travelogue http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/9482245.htm may be helpful to you.
