Trip to Longyan 🇨🇳

We visited Longyan City, and were completely enchanted by its unique combination of lush mountains, ancient Hakka culture, and tranquil rural landscapes. Whether you’re a history lover, a nature enthusiast, or a photography aficionado, Longyan has something truly special to offer. Here are three must-visit spots we explored and highly recommend! Yongding Earth Buildings 🏯 We explored the famous Yongding Earth Buildings, also known as the Hakka Tulou, which are massive, circular earth structures built to house entire families. These buildings are incredible both architecturally and historically. The best time to visit is at sunset when the warm golden light enhances the earth tones of the tulou and creates a peaceful and timeless atmosphere. I would recommend walking around the perimeter to capture the intricate details of these unique structures. 📍 Address: Yongding Earth Buildings, Longyan City, Fujian, China Mount Wuyi 🌿 We hiked the stunning Mount Wuyi, known for its lush forests, dramatic cliffs, and scenic tea plantations. The area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the breathtaking views from the summit are a photographer’s dream. The best time to visit is during the early morning or late afternoon when the soft light makes the landscape even more captivating. I would recommend taking a boat ride through the Nine Bend River to see the mountains from a unique perspective. 📍 Address: Mount Wuyi, Longyan City, Fujian, China Longyan Hakka Museum 🏛️ We visited the Longyan Hakka Museum to learn more about the unique culture and history of the Hakka people, who have called this region home for centuries. The museum houses a wide range of artifacts, traditional clothing, and exhibits that tell the story of the Hakka’s migration and heritage. I would recommend spending a few hours here to gain a deeper understanding of the local culture before capturing photos of the surrounding town. 📍 Address: Longyan Hakka Museum, Longyan City, Fujian, China Longyan City offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and architectural marvels. Whether you’re exploring the ancient earth buildings, hiking through the mountains, or immersing yourself in Hakka history, every moment here is worth capturing. Happy exploring! 📷✨ #discoverchina #travel #vacation
