At the foot of Shiniu Mountain in the eastern part of Dehua County, there is a stream that originates, which is the source of the Daixian Waterfall. This stream, after passing through the magnificent peaks of Feixian Mountain and cascading down 184.053 meters, splits into two, forming the Daixian Waterfall and the Youlou Waterfall. The two waterfalls complement each other, creating an impression of grandeur and extraordinary beauty. The Daixian Waterfall plunges with a rapid flow, its sound like thunder, leaving a lasting impression on visitors. Following the flow of the waterfall, we reach the Youlou Waterfall, which can be as wide as 110 meters, resembling a silver carpet set between large rocks. When the sunlight shines directly on it, the entire Youlou Waterfall sparkles with enchanting light, like a string of pearls descending from the sky.

Recommended destination for short-distance self-driving around Xiamen: Dehua! You can reach Dehua within 2 hours from Xiamen Island. Ceramics, Shiniushan Mountain, Jiuxianshan Mountain... should all be the well-known characteristics of Dehua! Due to the limited time of the National Day itinerary, only Shiniushan Mountain was arranged. After entering the gate of the scenic area, walk up the stairs on the right for 5 minutes, and you can take the cable car up the mountain. The total length of the cable car is 7168m, and the maximum height difference is 1088m. It is currently the longest cable car in Fujian and the second longest towed cable car in Asia. The whole journey takes about 30 minutes. After getting off the cable car, take the scenic bus to the top platform. It is recommended that friends who go to Shiniushan Mountain remember to bring long sleeves and long pants. The temperature at the foot of the mountain that day was 34 degrees. The wind on the top of the mountain was very strong and the temperature was very low. There was nothing to eat on the top of the mountain. You can buy some McDonald's in the county before departure. After visiting the platform, take the scenic bus and take the cable car to the glass plank road above Daixian Waterfall-Heart of the Sky. Standing on the glass plank road, you can overlook the panoramic view of Daixian Waterfall and the peaks of Dehua. The viewing platform is about 52 meters long and has a total area of ​​520 square meters. Both numbers are related to "520" and mean "I love you". The observation deck is suspended at a height of 314 meters, which together with the previous numbers forms "1314520", symbolizing "I love you forever." Here comes the key point. If you have good physical strength, you can continue walking down to see the Daixian Waterfall. It took me three hours to get to the bottom, and my legs were tired. If you don’t want to see it, go back and take the cable car down the mountain. Although the Daixian Waterfall is very spectacular, if I were given another chance, I would choose to take the cable car directly down the mountain and then fly a drone over to take pictures. It’s too tiring for my legs!

Dear friends, today I want to share with you an unforgettable trip to Fujian! Departing from Xiamen, it only takes 2.5 hours to reach the beautiful Quanzhou Dehua Shiniu Mountain. This trip was full of surprises and made me deeply feel the magical charm of nature! As soon as we entered the scenic area, we were attracted by the mountains and waterfalls, bamboo forests and sea of clouds in front of us. Climbing the first peak of the Eight Min Observation Day at an altitude of 1782 meters, it was like being in a fairyland. Standing on the top of the mountain, we admired the 280.12-meter-high Daixian Waterfall, which was breathtaking! In order to better tour Shiniu Mountain, we made a strategy in advance. Starting from the visitor center, we took a 40-minute cable car ride to enjoy the beautiful sea of clouds. The cable car is divided into upper, middle and lower stations. We chose to take the whole line and sit directly to the end. The scenery along the way was beautiful and unforgettable. In the Shihu Ancestral Hall, we felt a strong historical and cultural atmosphere. Then, we took a bus to Shiniu Mountain Station and took a cable car to the middle station Jinfeng Station. After a 20-minute walk, we arrived at the Sky Heart Glass Viewing Platform. Standing here, we could overlook the panoramic view of Daixian Waterfall, which was unforgettable! After visiting the Sky Heart, we walked along the cliff plank road for 15 minutes to Daixian Waterfall. Standing in front of the waterfall, we were amazed by the wonders of nature. We took photos here to record these beautiful memories. This trip to Fujian Shiniu Mountain made me deeply realize the beauty and magic of nature. Here, we can not only appreciate the magnificent landscape, but also feel the rich history and culture. If you haven't been here yet, be sure to take the time to feel it. Believe me, you will fall in love with this beautiful land! Finally, here are some suggestions: The scenic area can be visited in one day, but it is best to enter around 12 noon. The altitude on the mountain is high and the temperature is low, so remember to bring a thin jacket. Most of the journey is on a plank road, so it is recommended to wear sports shoes. Wish you a pleasant journey!
