Highlights:
Taimu Mountain was a filming location for the movie Mr. & Mrs. Single. Three of the mountain's sides look out to the ocean, and it forms one of three “tripod legs” together with Yingdang Mountain and Wuyi Mountain. The mountain is the primary attraction of the Taimu Mountain Scenic Area and is a major national park. The mountain’s forests of granite peaks and many rock cavities and grottoes make it unique. The area’s combination of mountain and ocean scenery, rivers, and historical structures make it a great place to spend a vacation.

Highlights:
Dayushan Island is located in the southeastern waters of Fuding. It has preserved its tranquility and original form due to the fact that it is not known by many outsiders. The island is uninhabited, so visitors must walk or rent a car. The coast is eroded by seawater and reveals the bare bedrock and reefs. The sea-eroded landscape is very prominent. The island's vegetation is very dense, inhabiting tens of thousands of migratory birds.
