⛰️Fuzhou Gulang
When the first ray of sunlight penetrates the clouds and mist, the Tyndall effect appears in the woods. Slowly drive from the mountainside to the top of Gulang Mountain. The sea of clouds deeply covers the city of Fuzhou... Gulang Mountain is one of the few places in Fuzhou where you can see the sea of clouds. It has a maximum altitude of 800m, where the sea breeze and the river breeze converge. When it is drizzling, Gulang Mountain is like a fairyland on the sea, revealing itself like a glimpse of a surprise among the overlapping peaks.
⛰️Quanzhou Baizhangyan
Quanzhou is surrounded by mountains and faces the sea. The mountains undulate and have four distinct seasons, which breeds rich and diverse natural resources and gives birth to a variety of beautiful scenery. At dawn, golden rays of light shine through the clouds onto the earth. Penglai Baizhangyan appears and disappears in the light and shadow of the clouds, as if it is a fairy mountain falling into the mortal world. Baizhangyan has become a fascinating secret place in southern Fujian with its steep and unique landform. Here, thousands of feet of red cliffs are like knives and axes, and when the clouds and mist are lingering, it is like a fairyland floating in the sky, showing the majestic charm of nature.
⛰️Sanming Jinrao Mountain
When the light tears through the darkness, we usher in the "golden moment" of this "most beautiful peak in Southeast China". Jinrao Mountain stretches for more than 300 miles and has a total of 84 peaks. Each peak is steep. The main peak, Baishi Peak, is 1,858m above sea level and is the "top of Fujian Mountain". Jinrao Mountain combines alpine meadows, a sea of clouds and stars, and strange rocks and waterfalls. It has both the grandeur of "reaching out to pick the stars" and the poetry of "secret realms hidden in secluded valleys". It is a paradise for hikers, photographers, and nature lovers. The scenic area is mainly based on mountain scenery, with dense and colorful forests, secluded and unique landforms, and abundant and magnificent water bodies complementing each other. The cloud scenery here is different in the four seasons, gorgeous and colorful. Standing on the top of Fujian and overlooking the sea of clouds, you will see a boundless white ocean. This is not only a geographical high point, but also a wilderness of the soul.
⛰️Putian Jiuhua Mountain
Jiuhua Mountain is located at the junction of Xitianwei Town and Changtai Town, 10 km northwest of Licheng, Putian, Fujian, facing Hugong Mountain on the south side of Licheng from a distance. Jiuhua Mountain has overlapping mountains and verdant peaks like clusters, shaped like nine lotus flowers, so it is known as "Jiuhua Emerald", which is one of the twenty-four scenic spots in Putian, and is a must-go place for camping and outings in Putian. Here, the altitude is high and the view is wide. The sunrise and sunset in the mountains, and the misty clouds after the rain, make Jiuhua Mountain like an emerald, hidden in this fairyland-like sea of clouds. Choose a moment after the rain, climb to the ancient temple on the top of the mountain, watch the clouds steaming, the sea of clouds floating to the sky, and the mountains looming.
⛰️Nanping Wuyi Mountain
In May, when spring and summer alternate, the sea of clouds in Wuyi Mountain fills the valleys. Curls of white clouds float gently like layers of tulle, mixed with the fragrance of tea, which is refreshing. When it comes to Wuyi Mountain, you can't get around Tianyou Peak. It is the first scenic spot in Wuyi Mountain and an excellent place to see the sea of clouds. At an altitude of 408.8m, it stands out from the peaks, with clouds and mist lingering around it. The surrounding peaks guard the top of the mountain, and the Nine-Bend Stream surrounds it on three sides. You can have a panoramic view of Wuyi. "If you don't climb Tianyou, you've wasted your trip." This is the praise of Tianyou Peak by the people of Wuyi Mountain. In the early morning or evening, you can climb to the waist of Baiyun Rock and see the Baiyun Zen Temple here. The temple cleverly uses the mountain rocks to build the temple, which is integrated with the mountains and rivers, and looks like a cloud of white clouds on the waist of Baiyun Rock from a distance. Here, bring your friends to taste a cup of Da Hong Pao and wait quietly for the sunrise, and watch the clouds and mist rolling over the peaks of Wuyi Mountain after the rain. The peaks are looming in the misty clouds, bright and magnificent.
⛰️Ningde Xianfeng Mountain
Four hundred years ago, Tang Ruji, the No. 1 scholar in the Ming Dynasty, once wrote a poem here to praise: "There are real immortals washing their feet in Shuangtan, and the auspicious light of the two temples shines in the nine heavens. The two ridges meander and show their steep beauty, and a round of rising sun offers sincerity and piety. The gentle breeze is ethereal and the auspicious heart is refreshing, and the sweet dew is crystal clear and the worldly worries are dispelled. There is nowhere to be found after turning around, and the clear spring flows endlessly." Between the lines, it outlines the fairy spirit, Zen meaning, and landscape charm of Xianfeng Mountain. Hidden among the vast peaks of Zhouning, the "City of Clouds", Xianfeng Mountain stands proudly at an altitude of 1,494m, supporting a high-mountain secret realm in eastern Fujian that is independent of the world. Here, the clouds and mist are misty all year round, the wind turbine matrix is looming in the sea of clouds, and the ten thousand acres of meadows dance with the starry sky and the Milky Way. It is an excellent place to escape the summer heat, watch the stars, and explore nature.
I went there for a whole day and felt very happy. There seemed to be a lot of people, but the tour guides rarely went to the top of the mountain. It was all the independent travelers who climbed the mountain. The undulating mountains looked like ink paintings. The water was very clean, like a mirror, reflecting the layers of mountains. The air was fresh when walking in the mountains, which was very comfortable and good for physical and mental health. A very good place.
After nearly 30 years, I visited Wuyi Mountain again. I have grown from a child to a middle-aged uncle, but the beauty of Wuyi Mountain remains the same. Riding a bamboo raft down the river, enjoying the Danxia scenery along the way and watching the fish chasing the waves in the stream, it is a unique experience. The rich aroma of Dahongpao tea tells the cultural atmosphere here. The temperature of 25℃ at night made me forget the scorching heat and wander among the beautiful mountains and rivers.
Every summer and winter vacation, I take my children and family out to play. This year, I chose Fujian. I went to Wuyi Mountain from Fuzhou and Xiamen. I like the scenery here very much. The beauty of Yunv Peak can be seen on stamps, postcards and the walls of the Fujian Hall of the Great Hall of the People in the early years! I finally came here this time! First of all, I recommend Jiuqu River rafting. If you are an old man or a child, I recommend it first. The rafting for more than an hour almost sees all the beautiful scenery. Sitting along the way to see the scenery, the explanation of the boatman is humorous and interesting. Now the service of domestic scenic spots is getting better and better! The sightseeing bus in the scenic area is universal, which is very convenient to go to various attractions! As a travel enthusiast, I strongly recommend it! I even plan to come again next year!
