Baishi Mountain is a renowned Danxia landform in Southeast Guangxi, known for its steep peaks and historical significance as a Taoist and Buddhist sacred site. It is home to relics such as Shousheng Temple and Sanqing観, which bear testament to its spiritual past. The famous traveler Xu Xiake once visited and documented his adventures in ‘Baishi Travel Notes,’ allowing readers to envision the thrilling landscapes he described as only traversable by ‘following the cliff walls.’ There are two main ways to explore Baishi Mountain: one is to follow the foot of the mountain, admiring the forest scenery and Taoist-Buddhist relics like Shousheng Temple and Sanqing観; the other is to embark on a mountaineering journey along the ‘Heaven’s Crack’ path. Baishi Mountain features two peaks, Duxiu Peak and Lianhua Rui. The former is too perilous for climbing and is only for viewing, while the latter is a popular climbing destination. Reaching the summit takes approximately 1.5 hours, passing through stone steps and then a steep ladder-like ascent. However, the final stretch to the peak is extremely dangerous, comparable to rock climbing, and should not be attempted without caution. For those wishing to enjoy the panoramic views from the summit, it is advised to go with experienced outdoor enthusiasts. The mountain is open year-round from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Essential tips for visitors include: 1. The climbing path of Baishi Mountain is quite steep and physically demanding; it is advisable to prepare some snacks and water in advance. 2. The path to the summit is perilous, and it is recommended not to attempt it alone; try to go with experienced outdoor enthusiasts.
