No. 8 of Fall Viewing Attractions in Fujian

Mandarin Duck Meadow

5.3

4.2/5

172 reviews

The Zherong Yuanyang Grassland is about 5 kilometers away from the Zherong County. It is a grassland with an area of about 5,000 mu, surrounded by mixed broad-leaved and coniferous forests. The mountain mist in the core area of the grassland looks like a miniature bonsai made of artificial clay from a distance. Standing on the high "Yuanyang Peak" of the grassland and looking around, you can see Taimu Mountain connecting with the vast East China Sea and sky to the east. If it is a clear morning, you can also see the rare sight of the rising sun from the sea level. To the south, you can explore the full view of the high peak "Muhaijian" (1,192.4 meters above sea level) at the junction of Zherong and Xiapu, and in the distance is the vast smoke waves of the strait. Looking to the west, you can see Zherong South Mountain (1,301.7 meters above sea level) nearby, and the world's geographical park "Baiyun Mountain" (1,450.2 meters above sea level) in the distance. To the north, you can see the main peak of the Taimu Mountain Range, "Dongshi Mountain" (1,479 meters above sea level), with clouds and mist. In spring, the lavender, red and white azaleas bloom in the rolling grass, competing with the wild flowers all over the mountains, attracting many bees and butterflies to fly freely. Being in it can make people happy. In summer, the green hills blend with the blue sky and white clouds. Everywhere you look, there is a natural painting, which is refreshing. In autumn, the meadows are covered with silvery white flowers, swaying in the breeze. In winter, the reddish grass hills and the green broad-leaved and coniferous mixed forests around them form a sharp color contrast. If a good snow falls, the grassland will be covered with silver, which is even more fun.

Taimu Mountain

The natural scenery of Taimu Mountain Scenic Area can be summarized in four words: "mountains," "sea," "rivers," and "islands." Taimu Mountain is a UNESCO Global Geopark, a national scenic area, a 5A-level tourist attraction, and a national natural heritage site. Located on the coast of the East China Sea, legend has it that immortals from the East Sea gather here annually, earning it the reputation as the "Fairy Capital on the Sea." It is renowned for its four unique features: perilous peaks, peculiar rocks, secluded caves, and mystical mist. "The clouds traverse the perilous cliffs" is a vivid depiction of the extraordinary peaks of Taimu Mountain. The mountain is dotted with 54 peaks, including the Nine Carp Facing Heaven Peak and the Eighteen Arhats Peak, which rise steeply and majestically, forming a breathtaking geological gallery. The remarkable rocks of Taimu Mountain are all lifelike and exquisitely crafted. Over 360 awe-inspiring rock formations, such as the Couple Peak, Immortal Sawing Board, and Golden Turtle Climbing the Wall, make visitors feel as if they've stepped into a sculpture art exhibition hall. No wonder ancient poets wrote, "No ordinary stones exist in Taimu, each seems divinely carved, revealing boundless wonders as one's heart desires." Beneath the towering peaks lies a network of over 100 granite caves resembling an underground labyrinth. Large caves contain smaller ones, interconnected in a complex web of winding passages that create a rare geological wonder among the world's famous mountains. This breathtaking granite cave system astonishes visitors with its intricate maze-like formations. Ascend to the peak and gaze at the East China Sea, where mountains enhance the vastness of the sea, and the sea adds grandeur to the mountains. Sometimes, sea fog surges and billows, while at other times, thousands of sails dot the boundless blue waves, ever-changing and unpredictable, as if entering a fairyland that makes one linger. Additionally, the attraction has developed a "via ferrata" climbing project. The Taimu Mountain via ferrata project features four climbing routes of varying difficulty to meet the needs of different groups, ensuring everyone has a blast. Taimu Mountain's sea area is nearly 10 times larger than its land territory, featuring a winding and undulating coastline. At the foot of Taimu Mountain lies the Qingchuan Seaside attraction, where over 30 km of coastline is dotted with numerous golden, soft, and pristine beaches. Among them, Niulanggang Beach stands out with its flat, clean surface, surrounded by lush green mountains and uniquely shaped rock formations, making it a perfect seaside destination for family trips, vacations, and leisure travel. At Niulanggang, you can listen to the symphony of waves and rocks. Meanwhile, Xiaobailu Seaside Resort offers wide beaches with soft sand, gentle slopes, and calm waves, blending fishing culture...

Yang Jiaxi is located in the town of Yacheng in Xiapu County. A sight worth mentioning is the “Banyan King,” which has lived more than 800 years. The trunk is hollow and has 7 enormous holes, each able to accommodate several people within. When the morning sun pierces the woods, the mottled tree shadows create a dreamlike atmosphere under the twinkling of light and shadow.

The entire building covers an area of 14,000 square meters, and the house covers an area of 5,000 square meters. It has both the grandeur of royal palaces and the exquisiteness of Jiangnan folk houses. The overall layout is based on three three-courtyards, composed of 6 halls, 12 small halls, 24 patios, 192 rooms, and 360 wooden pillars. The wood carvings in the old house, representing the Jiangnan architectural style, are exquisite. All the beams, columns, windows and doors are decorated with wood carvings, which are lifelike, including figures, flowers, auspicious birds and beasts. Liu Yong, a Grand Secretary during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, had a close relationship with the Wu family. He once presented the Wu family with a couplet that read "When you have learned something, you will forget Can Ke; when you leave a poem, you will see Yang He after you leave", expressing his hope that the friends would be successful in their studies and their friendship would last forever. The ancient dwellings still preserve precious cultural relics such as the handwritten inscriptions of the great Song Dynasty poet Su Shi, palace lanterns from the Qing Dynasty, as well as traditional activities such as cockfighting and puppetry performances, passing on the story of an ancient family.

Wangxian Valley

4.5/5

26.7k reviews

Wangxian Valley is located at the northern foot of Lingshan Mountain, hidden among mountain streams and gorges. It was formerly an abandoned granite quarry and, after years of ecological restoration, has been built into the valley town it is today. The attraction is structured around the Jiuniu Stream Gorge, where streams flow through the valley and waterfalls cascade in layers; the Sandie Waterfall and Sankou Pot are among its most recognizable natural views. In summer, visitors can also experience gorge rafting that winds through the ancient town. The cliffside building complex on Baihe Cliff is the attraction's signature view. On the nearly 100-meter-high cliff face, cantilevered guest rooms, plank walkways, and viewing platforms climb upward in a zigzag pattern, looking up from the valley floor like pavilions in the sky. After nightfall, the cliff lights come on one after another, and the entire valley resembles a painted scroll of lights; standing on Lanyue Bridge and gazing at the full panorama of Baihe Cliff is a classic photo spot here. The Yanpu Old Street in the valley restores the appearance of traditional dwellings in northeastern Jiangxi, with rammed earth walls, bluestone slab paths, and horse-head walls interwoven throughout. Workshop Street is lined with traditional handicraft workshops for brown sugar, brewing, papermaking, cloth dyeing, and more, where you can watch ancient production methods on site; Mingchan Alley gathers intangible cultural heritage crafts such as bamboo weaving and woodwork. Bawei Street offers a dazzling array of Jiangxi-style snacks such as dengzhan guo and taro dumplings. When visiting, it is recommended to enter the attraction in the afternoon so that you can clearly see the gorge landforms in daylight without missing the spectacular lighting after nightfall. The entire route requires walking and climbing stairs, so comfortable, slip-resistant shoes are advisable.

Wuyuan Huangling Scenic Area

8.9

4.6/5

24k reviews

Wuyuan Huangling Scenic Area sits among the Shi'er Mountains of Wuyuan, with the ancient village of Huangling at its core—a Huizhou ancient village nearly six hundred years old. The village is built along steep mountain slopes, where "there is no flat ground three chi wide"; residences are arranged in a fan-shaped, terraced layout around the water outlet, with white walls and dark tiles layered one upon another on the cliffside, earning it the name "Tiyun Renjia" (Households in the Terraced Clouds). Surrounded by ancient trees and terraced fields, it is itself a three-dimensional painting of a mountain village. Huangling is the birthplace of the "shaiqiu" (autumn sun-drying) culture. Constrained by the terrain, villagers have since ancient times set up drying racks on rooftops to dry crops; every fall, red chili peppers, yellow chrysanthemums, pumpkins, and more fill the rooftop drying trays, with colors shifting as the seasons change. In spring, rapeseed flowers bloom in layers across ten thousand mu of terraced fields, dotted with pink peach blossoms and snow-white pear blossoms; the lower-elevation first-phase flower sea and the higher-elevation second-phase Gaoling flower sea bloom in succession, with the flowering period lasting into April. Riding the cable car up the mountain, visitors can overlook the entire golden flower field, and the view is especially open when passing the Leixin Bridge glass walkway, with layered terraced fields and distant mountains below. Tianjie in the village is the main sightseeing axis paved with bluestone slabs, linking classic Huizhou-style ancient buildings; shops line the street with workshops behind storefronts, and along the way visitors can taste authentic Wuyuan snacks such as steamed cakes, Qingming guo, and huizhi guo, and also take part in making folk snacks and handicrafts. Visiting in fall, besides the spectacular shaiqiu scene, the village's red maples are also a highlight, with maple forests fully tinted and echoing the harvest colors drying on the rooftops. Throughout the year, Huangling has something to offer in every season, and its core charm always lies in the unique Huizhou everyday vitality of this mountain village.

Wuyishan National Park

8.6

4.6/5

13.4k reviews

Wuyishan National Park is located in the northern section of the Wuyishan mountain range in northwestern Fujian, stretching across the border area between Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. It is one of China's first established national parks, and Wuyishan itself was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for both culture and nature as early as 1999. The park was formed by integrating the former Wuyishan National Nature Reserve and Wuyishan Scenic Area: the Tongmu area in the north focuses on ecological conservation and scientific research, preserving a rare intact mid-subtropical forest ecosystem at this latitude. The main peak of the Wuyishan range, Mount Huanggang, is also located here, and this core area does not offer regular tourism activities. Sightseeing activities are concentrated in the scenic areas along both banks of the Nine-bend Stream, namely the four major sections: Tianyou Peak to Taoyuan Cave, Nine-bend Stream to Wuyi Palace, One-line Sky to Tiger Roaring Rock, and Dahongpao to Water Curtain Cave. The attractions in the scenic area are relatively scattered with considerable distance between them. A leisurely visit typically requires two to three days. If you only have one day, start by ascending Tianyou Peak for a panoramic view of the emerald waters and crimson mountains along the Nine-bend Stream, then take a bamboo raft downstream from Xingcun Wharf. Along the way, you'll pass landmarks like Jade Maiden Peak, Great King Peak, cliff inscriptions, and suspended boat coffins. The rafting journey ends at Wuyi Palace, making it an ideal classic route. Tea enthusiasts may prefer spending time on the leisurely Rock Bone Floral Trail between Dahongpao and Water Curtain Cave. This gentle path connects core Wuyi rock tea production areas like Liuxiangjian and Huiyuankeng, offering a uniquely fragrant experience. With two days, you can cover all four major sections. For more time, consider visiting the ancient tea merchants' residences in Xiamei Village, the starting point of the ancient Tea Horse Road, or exploring the ruins of the Minyue King's City near Chengcun Village—the latter also being part of Wuyishan's world heritage site. Bamboo rafting is very popular, so please make arrangements in advance during peak season. To get close to the ecological heart of the park, you can take the Wuyishan National Park No. 1 scenic route. Places like Moon Bay and Qinglong Waterfall are suitable for self-drive or private charter. As for food, street snacks like flat meat dumplings and Vietnamese noodles are common, while Langu smoked goose and local dishes cooked with alpine bamboo shoots and mushrooms are also worth trying.

Overall, it's alpine meadow scenery, with attractions such as a mini-train, magic carpet, cable car, and zip-lining (all charged separately). However, the prices are a bit high for a scenic area like this.
