Things to do in Anyuan

I initially thought this scenic area would be rather ordinary, but it exceeded my expectations. It's a well-managed area. Although it was misty on the mountain, the climate was very comfortable, with occasional light drizzle. I brought a raincoat, which was both rainproof and windproof, keeping me warm. Along the way, there were cute little murals that attracted the children to walk and breathe in the fresh air of nature. The cable car even had small fans, and the glass bridge had national flags flying.

The hot spring boasts a pleasant environment and clean water, leaving you feeling refreshed and relaxed – a perfect place to unwind. The park is tranquil, surrounded by lush greenery, and offers a variety of pools. The spring water is crystal clear and well-maintained. A short soak leaves you feeling completely relaxed, relieving neck and shoulder fatigue. The staff at 6595 are friendly and provide excellent service.

It is said to be the largest square walled house in China. When we went there, there were almost no tourists. We hired a guide to explain the site. The price was a bit high at 100 yuan, but the service was good. The overall feeling was spectacular, and the outdoor scenic area was well designed and the scenery was beautiful.

I arrived just in time for the guided tour. The scenery was beautiful. Although it wasn't Mid-Autumn Festival or National Day when I visited Gulangyu again after twelve years, there were still many people on Gulangyu during those three days in between.

I recommend Rainforest World and Lion Mountain Garden; the other areas are just so-so. The fog effects in Rainforest World are quite nice, making you feel like you're strolling through a rainforest and breathing in nature. The purple flower fields in Lion Mountain Garden are quite beautiful.

Visiting the Zhonggu Cableway in early October, with its clear skies and gentle breezes, offered the perfect opportunity to experience the breathtaking aerial views, far removed from the sweltering heat of midsummer. The Zhonggu Cableway traverses the Wanshi Mountain forest, and the gentle ascent in the cable car provides a unique and immersive experience, offering panoramic views of Xiamen from above. The cable car cabins are open-plan, offering unobstructed views. As the cable car slowly ascends, lush subtropical forests line both sides, their verdant foliage and fresh mountain air filling the air. With each ascent, the view gradually expands, revealing the verdant Zhonggu Mountain range nearby, and in the distance, the red-tiled roofs of Xiamen's old town, along with the high-rise buildings and the bay, unfolding in a harmonious tapestry. Reaching the highest point, one can gaze upon Gulangyu Island and the boundless sea, taking in the panoramic view of the city, mountains, and azure ocean blending seamlessly into a breathtaking panorama. The entire journey takes approximately forty minutes one way, with a smooth and leisurely ride, ideal for savoring the scenery at a leisurely pace. Along the way, you'll see towering boulders in the valleys and forest trails, with constantly changing mountain scenery from different angles. Compared to hiking, the cable car saves you the effort of climbing, yet offers a panoramic view unmatched by ordinary observation decks. The only drawback is the long queues during peak hours; it's recommended to travel during off-peak times. The cabins offer no shade, so remember to wear sunscreen when the sun is strong. Sitting in the cable car, with the mountain breeze in your ears and overlooking the entire city, you'll feel incredibly relaxed. The Zhonggu Cableway is more than just a transportation route; it's a window into the panoramic view of Xiamen's mountains and sea. Here, the wild beauty of the mountains and the coastal cityscape converge, allowing you to experience the tranquility of nature while enjoying breathtaking urban views. If you're tired of the bustling city streets, climbing here and gazing at the unique mountain and sea scenery of Xiamen from mid-air is a pleasant and unforgettable experience.

Gaoyiling in Chenzhou is definitely worth a special trip! The unique Danxia landform is breathtaking, with red cliffs paired with emerald lakes—a masterpiece of nature. The Longjibei (Dragon's Backbone) is a must-visit; hiking along the ridge offers expansive views, and the Giant Lizard Lake is stunning—every snapshot is a masterpiece, no filters needed. The scenic trails are well-maintained, clearly marked, and have rest areas along the way. You can enjoy the thrill of hiking in the mountains while admiring the magnificent scenery—a thrilling yet therapeutic experience. The staff is attentive, and the facilities are comprehensive. It's perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and photography lovers; a must-do when visiting Chenzhou—highly recommended!

The experience of visiting Wugong Mountain was quite good. The hiking route was of moderate difficulty and not strenuous. The view from the summit was expansive, overlooking vast meadows. The breeze was pleasant and refreshing. There were also ample supply points along the way, so I didn't need to bring too much with me. It was a very relaxing trip.

It's very convenient, saves time, protects your knees, and is suitable for the elderly and children, or hikers who are in a hurry or whose legs are worn out after hiking 😅. The price is also reasonable.

As expected of Songcheng, it's really good. First of all, the environment is nice, and the prices are incredibly low. For example, a cup of green tea is only 6 yuan, and you can even get refills! The most interesting thing is the courtesan's dance! It's truly excellent!
