Fuzhou | Qida Village, the Fujian version of Rio de Janeiro is truly beautiful

| Qida Village, the Fujian version of Rio de Janeiro is truly beautiful.📍Located at Qiguan Top, Qida Village, Lianjiang County, Fuzhou City 📍Free ❇️Ways to go up the mountain 1⃣️At the foot of the mountain, park for free at the Qiguan Top stone stele, then climb 1800 steps up the mountain ✅Suitable for young people with good physical strength, take photos while climbing, and you can encounter more surprises 2️⃣Carpool or take a motorcycle taxi near the mountain entrance, the price is about 20-50, especially taking a motorcycle taxi, which can save time queuing up the mountain during peak hours ✅Motorcycle taxis are more suitable for 1-2 people going up the mountain together, not cost-effective for more people, and it doesn't look very safe 3️⃣Drive to the bottom of the Qiguan Top wall ✅After taking a motorcycle taxi or driving to the wall, you need to walk along a low wall similar to the Great Wall for more than 1 kilometer to reach the Jiuxian Jun Temple, climb up the small dirt slope on the right side of the temple, walk a short distance forward and you will encounter steps, walk down the steps, the pavilion and red wishing plaques are the popular photo spots, walking up leads to a broader view ✅Driving up the mountain, the mountain road has eighteen bends, not easy to navigate, the last 1 kilometer to the wall is a dirt road with stones, bumpy, and difficult for cars with low chassis ✅Self-driving during peak times will encounter 4 or 5 vehicle control points, vehicles have to queue up to go up the mountain, and only when cars come down can an equivalent number of cars go up, the waiting time is very long (but once you get up there, you'll find that there aren't so many cars that a few more couldn't be accommodated) ‼️Tips‼️ ▶️Be sure to go on a sunny day❗The mountain roads are difficult in rainy weather and the photo effects are much worse❗ ▶️The popular photo spot is located on the edge of a cliff, be cautious⚠️ and ensure safety, those who are afraid of heights (like myself) are advised not to get too close, it's not necessary to take the risk, but personal safety is a must ▶️Whether at the foot of the mountain, halfway up, or at the top, parking is free🅿️, during holidays and peak times, besides taking a motorcycle taxi, the time spent driving around the mountain (including traffic control queuing) and walking up the stairs feels about the same ▶️When you reach the control point in front of the Guanyin Temple, do not listen to the security guard and park on the spot, the 1 kilometer-plus mountain road is not long, but the dust is particularly heavy, when other vehicles pass by, pedestrians can get a mouthful of dust, be sure to drive to the bottom of the wall (the arch in the upper right corner of picture 5) ▶️Naturally, the prices on the mountain are higher than at the foot of the mountain (e.g., tea eggs 4 yuan each, grilled sausages 10 yuan each), you can bring a small amount of water and snacks (there's not much to do at the top of the mountain, 1-2 hours for taking photos and resting is enough) ▶️The wind is strong on the mountain and it's sunny, be prepared for wind, sun protection, and insect prevention 🍳Food recommendations: 1⃣️Fish noodles, fish balls, oyster pancakes, the seafood beef hotpot in the hotel is also great.
