Taojin Mountain Scenic Area is located 3 km west of Sha County, Fujian Province, with an altitude of 501 meters and a total area of 6 square kilometers. The scenic spot was first built in the Song Dynasty and took shape in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, so the cultural landscape here is very rich. Historical figures such as Li Gang, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Luo Congyan, a great Confucian scholar, and Deng Maoqi, the leader of the peasant uprising army, all left their footprints here, with more than 30 cliff carvings. The reclining Buddha on Taojin Mountain is known as the "First Reclining Buddha in China." This reclining Buddha is carved from a natural boulder, measuring 38 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 11 meters high, making it the largest stone reclining Buddha in China. Behind the reclining Buddha is a mountain, which is similar in shape to the reclining Buddha, forming a spectacular scene of the mountain and the Buddha as one. There is also a pagoda, which is majestic and spectacular, with a total of nine floors. The true body relic is on the second floor, and each floor can be accessed. Each floor is dedicated to different Buddha statues, and there are carvings of Buddhist classics, which are especially worth seeing!

My Life FIRST | Exploring Shaxian Snacks
| Exploring Shaxian Snacks. 🌟 Highlights: Shaxian District is part of Sanming City in Fujian Province, located in central Fujian Province, downstream of the Shaxi River.

Famous snacks include wontons, shumai, meat buns, rice jelly, joy cakes, mixed noodles, steamed dumplings, sour and spicy noodles, fried noodles, cold grass soup, loach soup, taro noodles, etc. 📍 Detailed Address: Shaxian District, Sanming City, Fujian Province 💰 Average Cost: Free 📝 Tips: 1. Famous tourist attractions in Shaxian include Shuimei Tulou, Xixia Village, Yubang Village, Songbaiyan, Dayoushan, and Taojinshan. 2. Shaxian is small, with major attractions concentrated on both sides of the Shaxi River. The Ningcui Pavilion opposite the suspension bridge, which houses the Shaxian Museum, is highly recommended. 3. The old train station in Shaxian is an open-air museum, perfect for taking photos. 4. Bancuo Alley is the most famous snack street in Shaxian, with several well-known biscuit shops. The biscuits are small, with fillings like preserved vegetable meat, red bean paste, and green onion. They are best eaten fresh out of the oven, crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside. Eating two or three at a time is enough to fill you up. 5. Shaxian's famous shumai has a shiny, resilient outer skin when steamed, filled with vermicelli and cabbage meat filling. Unlike shumai from other places, it has a texture similar to shrimp dumplings. Shaxian District · Sanming

City Walk | Casual, stress-free mini-hiking, Taoginshan Greenway~
| Casual, stress-free mini-hiking, Taoginshan Greenway~. Take Exit B at Buxin Station on Line 5, and after getting out of the subway🚇, you can take a Didi, which will cost you just the starting price to get there, or navigate to 'Cuiyin Post Station' on your own—it's quite a distance to walk or cycle. (I took a taxi and forgot to tell the driver it was 'Cuiyin Post Station', I got off at the scribble on picture 8️⃣ and then walked up a bit... To Cuiyin Post Station parking lot🅿️ Taoginshan Greenway Leisurely route: from Cuiyin Post Station to Jinshan Pavilion (if you don't want to climb any further, you can just go back the way you came). It's really easy~ and the scenery is beautiful. If you still have energy, you can try Qiu Shui Mountain Park, I heard the sunset🌄 there is super beautiful After an easy hike, you can also run to Jin Beer Workshop for an afternoon tea, which is also a check-in spot~

Journey to Shaxian! Gold Rush Mountain
Fujian Sanming self-driving tour------Sixth stop, Shaxian Gold Rush Mountain Shaxian Gold Rush Mountain, home to the largest reclining Buddha in China, a millennium-old iron tree grove, and the Maitreya Buddha, is a sight worth seeing. Legend has it that Gold Rush Mountain got its name because people used to pan for gold here, making it famous. Surrounded by green trees and abundant plant life, it's a tranquil place. The reclining Buddha inside is incredibly long and distinctive, and together with the iron tree grove, it creates a particularly beautiful landscape. Gold Rush Mountain is not very large, but climbing to the peak, you can see a pagoda, which is very splendid and eye-catching on the inside. Photography is not allowed inside, but it's worth a visit. The reclining Buddha here is the largest stone-carved reclining Buddha in the country, seamlessly integrated with the mountain, making it a remarkable sight, especially when the iron tree grove is in bloom.
