Mount Qingcheng is a mountain in Sichuan Province, China, and is considered one of the most important Taoist centers in the country. The mountain is divided into two parts, the front mountain, which is easily accessible by road, and the back mountain, which is more remote and accessible only by foot. The Mount Qingcheng trail is a popular hiking trail that takes visitors through the forested slopes of the mountain to several Taoist temples and shrines.

The trail is about 16 kilometers long and takes about 5-6 hours to complete. Along the way, hikers will pass through dense forests, cross streams and waterfalls, and climb up steep staircases. The trail is dotted with several ancient Taoist temples and shrines, including the Laojun Pavilion, the Fulong Temple, the Shangqing Palace, and the Tianshi Cave. These temples date back to the Tang and Song dynasties and are important cultural and historical sites in China.

The Mount Qingcheng trail offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside, including the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can also experience the local culture and cuisine at several small villages along the way. The trail is best hiked in the spring and autumn when the weather is cool and the foliage is at its most beautiful.
