Xianyou | Jiuli Lake → Jiulong Valley The road from Jiuli Lake to Jiulong Valley is downhill. We drove through the thick fog of the Zong San Line and entered Jiuli Lake. We saw the waterfall (the water flow was a bit small)! We saw Baofeng Temple! We saw the Jiuzhaigou of Putian! We arrived at Jiuli Lake at 9:00 and left Jiulong Valley East Gate at 16:00. We were lucky to get a ride back to Jiuli Lake Scenic Area. If you enter from Jiulong Valley and want to visit Jiuli Lake, it will be uphill all the way, and you need to plan your transportation in advance.

Departing from Fuzhou, it only takes an hour and a half by car to reach the picturesque Jiuli Lake.🌄🌊 The area boasts numerous waterfalls, especially the twin waterfalls, which are spectacular after the rain when the water volume is abundant. But be careful when you get close for photos, as you might get soaked like I did.💃 Therefore, wear something flowy or a tight hoodie, and bring a change of clothes to prevent catching a cold. Remember to wear non-slip shoes, as the ground beneath the waterfalls can be slippery.🚗 I recommend driving there yourself.

Jiulihu is located in the Wanshan area to the northeast of Xianyou County, Xinghua Prefecture, as mentioned in 'Qian Que Lei Shu'. Jiulihu is a national AAAA level scenic spot, the birthplace of Chinese dream-praying culture, located in Zhongshan Town, Xianyou County, Putian City, Fujian Province, 31 kilometers away from the county seat, with an altitude of 590 meters. Jiulihu is one of the 'Four Sceneries' of Xianyou (Jiulihu, Maixie Rock, Caixi Rock, Tianma Mountain), known for its lake, cave, waterfall, and rock formations, especially its waterfalls, hence the reputation of 'Jiulihu's flying waterfall is a wonder of the world'.

🎫 🎫Cost: Parking fee: Free Ticket price: 50 Downhill bus return: 15 (you can also walk down the mountain yourself, but by that time you won't care about this 15) Total 65 Route🚗 It takes more than an hour to drive from Putian city to Jiuli Lake scenic area. When you are about to arrive following the navigation, the staff stopped and said that the car could not go further in, and could only be parked in the outside parking lot. However, parking is free, and there is a bus to the scenic area next to the parking lot. After arriving at the main entrance, buy a ticket to enter. 🕍Entrance: The scenic area has two doors, one is the tourist center located in the center, which requires online booking verification with ID card. The other is a side door, which can be entered by scanning the code. We chose to buy tickets on site and enter through the side door (there are two interconnecting routes between the two doors, we chose the side door that passed the cement road, which takes about half an hour to walk, and the scenery along the way is beautiful). 👯About half an hour's walk, you will see a fork in the road. According to the sign, turn right to reach the entrance of the waterfall. First, you will pass through the Tongxian Bridge--then follow the instructions on the sign and turn left to smoothly proceed with the next journey. 🍱Snacks: There will be uncles and aunts selling local snacks along the way, the price is a bit more expensive than outside, but it is still acceptable, and there is vegetarian food to try😊 🏇Horse riding photos: On the way to and from, you will pass some small white horses. They are raised by uncles and aunts themselves and are very gentle and obedient. It only costs 5 yuan to take a photo once, and the uncles and aunts will dress up the little white horse, adjust the position and help you get on the horse. The aunt will also take pictures for you with a camera, and you can also take your own shots. 🚌Sightseeing car: The scenic area has a sightseeing car, each trip costs 10💰. But it's probably a car every 30 minutes, and you have to queue when there are many people (the sightseeing car is coming down from the top of the mountain, because it takes a long time to walk, too tired and don't want to move, so we still choose to take the car down the mountain, after all, too tired and sleepy, I fell asleep in a few minutes on the car). 🐾Play time: It is estimated to be 2.5 hours to 4 hours, depending on the speed of each person, you can take more photos and walk different roads. We walked and stopped all the way). You can enter the scenic area earlier, the flow of people will not be so much, you can take pictures more easily, and you do not need to queue when shooting the waterfall, but we went there during the National Day holiday, there were many people and less waterfall water, it is recommended to go there from April to June. 📸Friends who take pictures remember to bring an extra piece of clothing or coat for sun protection, as well as tissues. We kept wiping our faces today. Taking pictures near the waterfall will really get your body wet, but taking pictures under the waterfall is very good and interesting😂. Climbing high mountains requires physical strength, it is not recommended to bring too small children or elderly people who have difficulty walking to play.
