Wangxian Valley

4.5/5

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.

Fu Forest Trail

4.8/5
87 reviews

Fu Forest Trail, also known as the Fuzhou Forest Walk, is an elevated all-steel walkway suspended among forested ridges. The main route is approx. 6.3 km long, with a total loop length of approx. 19 km. It starts at Zuohai Park in the northeast,connects to the Min River corridor in the southwest, and runs along the Jinniushan ridge line in between, passing through Zuohai Park, Meifengshandi Park, Jinniushan Sports Park, Guoguang Park, The Golden Cow Mountain Park, and other city parks. The bridge deck features a perforated steel grating design with gaps controlled within 1.5 cm, allowing sunlight and rainwater to reach the vegetation below while remaining wheelchair accessible. The entire trail has a gentle slope, with elevated sections designed to a 16:1 accessibility standard, meaning the trail rises only 1 m for every 16 m of extension. Multiple entrances and exits are available along the route, and completing the main route takes approx. 2–3 hours. On clear days, you can enjoy panoramic views of Fuzhou from the elevated sections, and the sunset glow in the evening is especially photogenic. The trail was jointly designed by Singapore-based RSP Architects Planners & Engineers and the Fuzhou Planning Design and Research Institute, drawing on the experience of the Alexandra Forest Walk in Singapore. Since its completion, it has received numerous domestic and international awards, including the International Architecture Award and the China Civil Engineering Zhan Tianyou Award.

Seek the dream of a thousand-year-old Minyue region and embark on a journey through a water town. ✨ By day, stroll along the cobblestone streets, where white walls and black tiles reflect in the clear water. The ancient Yanfu Pagoda stands serenely, and tourists in Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) can be seen everywhere. Every step reveals a new scene, brimming with the ancient charm of Minjiang. As night falls, the water town truly shines. Lanterns light up one after another, their glow reflected on the lake, shimmering and dancing. Flower boat parades and traditional Chinese performances take place in turn. The breathtaking "Seeking the Dream of a Thousand-Year-Old Minyue" water show weaves together light and sound, telling the story of the Maritime Silk Road. A gentle evening breeze and romantic fireworks create a tranquil escape from the daily hustle and bustle, allowing you to immerse yourself in the thousand-year-old splendor of this blessed city.

Honglincuo, located in Minqing, Fujiien. It's a humble adobe of the Hong family. It's really a magnificent residence, consider engaging a guide to understand the historical facts of this place.

The location is superb, right next to the Longmen Transfer Center. You can go canyoning right outside the hotel, and it's quite close to Longmen Pool. The hotel is also very clean. Although it was raining, the room was very dry, not as damp as I had imagined. I especially loved the terrace; the view was amazing in the morning. The food was also good, quite tasty, although eating in the scenic area is generally expensive, but that's understandable. I'd definitely book here again next time I visit.

First, visit the Fuzhou Museum. It's relatively less crowded, so you can leisurely admire the Shoushan stone carvings and porcelain from the Wanjiao No. 1 shipwreck, immersing yourself in the history of the Maritime Silk Road in Fujian. Admission is free, making it perfect for students to learn. Afterwards, head to Beibu Gulf in Pingtan. For dinner, be sure to check out Xiaobailou Seafood Restaurant! It's the only one in Pingtan, run by three veterans. The owners are very honest, serving freshly caught seafood daily – incredibly fresh and flavorful. The owner's wife is also incredibly friendly, offering helpful recommendations, and the prices are clearly marked so you won't be overcharged. In the evening, stay at the Beibu Gulf Innovation and Entrepreneurship Cluster Youth Hostel – excellent value! The rooms are clean, the common areas have a relaxed atmosphere, and you can meet students from all over the world. You can even carpool around the island and try to see the bioluminescent plankton. Fuzhou's culture combined with Pingtan's blue sea makes for a convenient and budget-friendly experience.

I bought this ticket. The view is only on the first floor indoors, and half of the second-floor open-air deck. The performance is only on the first floor indoors; going up to the other half of the second floor costs 20 yuan per person for tea. Why not just sell a VIP ticket? It would save the trouble of scanning a QR code to pay after boarding. The night view of the Minjiang River is quite nice. The pier is easy to find, with few steps.

Many people come to Wangxian Valley just to catch a glimpse of the lights on the cliff and leave. The right way to experience Wangxian Valley is to slow down and immerse yourself in the autumn scenery, folk customs, and beautiful mountain accommodations.

This is my third trip here, and this time I specifically stayed overnight to see the night view. The night view is beautiful; the houses are stacked one on top of another, creating a spectacular sight. Prices in the village are also reasonable, especially the herbal pig's trotter soup—a big pot for only 58 yuan, which is a real bargain. However, the steamed mushrooms with tea oil are just so-so; don't order them.

This trip to Fujian was truly wonderful! First, I checked out Fuzhou Fudao, a sky forest walkway perfect for a leisurely stroll. The boardwalk is nestled among the trees, with the breeze blowing through the woods and panoramic city views. No need to rush; a casual walk is incredibly therapeutic, and every snapshot is a masterpiece. Afterwards, I headed straight to Beibu Gulf in Pingtan. For food, I made sure to try the seafood restaurant, Xiaobailou! It's the only one in Pingtan, run by three veterans who are incredibly honest and kind. The owner was super attentive, kindly reminding me about portion sizes when ordering. The seafood was fresh, authentic, and delicious – I felt confident eating there. For accommodation, I chose the Beibu Gulf Innovation and Entrepreneurship Cluster Youth Hostel, which is student-friendly! The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, with people from all over gathering there. No one pressured me to discuss life plans; you could go out with friends or spend time alone.
