The Sanqing Lake is located at the foot of Sanqing Mountain, which is a national key scenic spot lying 16 kilometers north of Yushan County, Jiangxi Province. The lake originates from the Sanqing Mountain, hence its name Sanqing Lake. It is 46 kilometers long and 3 kilometers at the widest. In contrast to the torrential current at upper reaches of the lake, the lower reaches of the lake are peaceful and limpid, which is a perfect place to tour around by boat or bamboo raft. The main sights of the Sanqing Lake Scenic Area include the Sanqing Lake, Shaohua Mountain, the Eight Immortals Cave, and the Buddhist Saint Cave.

 Shaohua Mountain        

Lying on the lakeside, Shaohua Mountain has various peculiar peaks and rocks together with stretches of forests and bamboos as well as some historic sites such as the Lingguan Palace, the Yiting Pavilion, the Caishen Temple, the Shaohua Twin-Tower, and the Yellow Cliff Temple. Climbing up to the mountain summit and looking far into the distance, one will have a panoramic view of the Sanqing Lake and feel relaxed and happy.

 Eight Immortals Cave     

The Eight Immortals Cave lies at the mountainside of Dashanmu Mountain in Tucheng Village of Purple Lake Town. The cave is 1 kilometer to Purple Lake and land transportation is very convenient. It is round at the mouth and deep inside, with water dripping from the walls all year round. Near the cave is a deep pool, covering an area of about 80 square meters. With a slope on one side and steep cliffs on the other two sides, the pool is surrounded by tall trees. Water rushes through two huge rocks lying to the west and pours into the pool, spattering sprays of water. A gap opens on the east side of the pool, from where water flows out slowly.  

 Buddhist Saint Cave

Lying at the west foot of Shuihua Mountain, the Buddhist Saint Cave is over 200 meters long and covers an area of 600 square meters. A stone column carved with patterns towers up to the cave ceiling, which is called the jade pillar that props up the sky by local people. To its left side is a stone drum, producing sound when beaten. A stone bowl lies next to the drum. One amusing thing is that water in the bowl never spills out or dries out.
