Taining Lijiayan

Sanming, this low-key treasure spot hides a divine temple! Have you ever seen a temple on a cliff? 🏞️ 📍Lijiayan Zen Temple ➡️Address: Provincial Road 205, Taining County, Sanming City ➡️Opening Hours: Open all day (recommended to avoid rainy days) ➡️Recommended Transportation: Self-driving (7 km from the city center, 10 minutes by car) or cycling (but there are many uphill sections) This place is definitely a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts! The temple is nestled in a 300-meter-long Danxia rock groove, the longest Danxia rock groove in China—definitely worth checking out~ Walking on the ancient rock plank road, you get a feeling of time travel. Li Chunye once studied hard here📚 Here are the must-visit spots all organized for you: 1⃣️ Rock groove corridor: A thrilling trail on the cliff edge, with a bottomless abyss beneath your feet—very exciting! 2⃣️ Snow Cave Buddha Hall: The stone house where Li Chunye once studied, now converted into a small Buddha hall, very atmospheric 3⃣️ Banner Café: A coffee shop hidden in the mountains☕, unfortunately no time to sit down, but online reviews say the atmosphere is amazing Going on a sunny day is perfect for photos! Blue sky and white clouds paired with Danxia landforms make every shot a masterpiece. It’s recommended to wear comfortable shoes as some sections are narrow. The mountain air is super fresh, full of negative oxygen ions, making you feel refreshed and energized~ Tips: 1️⃣ Bring enough water and snacks, there are no convenience stores on the mountain 2️⃣ Be careful when taking photos, some railings are quite low 3️⃣ If you want coffee, remember to allow enough time as the café closes early 4️⃣ It’s recommended to visit other Taining attractions together; coming alone might feel a bit lacking Nearby spots to check out: 🔸Taining Ancient City 🔸Dajin Lake 🔸Shangqing Stream
