Zhangzhou | After 2 days, I finally captured the glowing Hanging Temple.

| After 2 days, I finally captured the glowing Hanging Temple. I have always wanted to take pictures of Lingtongyan Temple in Zhangzhou, especially the scene of a waterfall falling from the sky. Last month, I deliberately chose a rainy day to climb the mountain. As I climbed, I thought: If there is a waterfall + rainbow + advection fog + golden light, the picture would be perfect. After waiting for half a day, I only captured the smoke from the firecrackers at the temple (Picture 5). - When we returned to the foot of the mountain, we were not discouraged. We checked the weather forecast and saw that it would rain the next day, so we immediately decided to climb again the next day. After another half-hour climb and another half-day wait, the rain still did not come. Just as it was getting dark and we were about to give up, a cloud of mist drifted in, as if a curtain had been drawn behind the Hanging Temple, and the temple glowed with a sacred light in the night (Pictures 1-3). - This is what landscape photography is all about. Wonders are always hard to come by. It is satisfying to capture the picture you imagined, but it is even more surprising to capture an unexpected wonder. -

Zhangzhou | A tulou terrarium in nature 🪴

| A tulou terrarium in nature 🪴. There are thousands of tulou in Fujian. Some are well-preserved and developed into tourist attractions, some are still inhabited by the elderly, and some are abandoned and gradually decaying in the countryside. - This time, I visited an abandoned tulou in Zhangzhou. Unlike other tulou I have seen before, the interior of this building is completely occupied by plants. From above, it looks like a terrarium in nature. - Even though the people have left, the tulou is still full of life. Compared with the commercialized tulou attractions, I think this one is more interesting. What do you think? - 🚗 How to get there: Xiashi Village, Qiling Township, Pinghe County, Zhangzhou City. Navigate to "Pinghe Qiaoshang Bookstore." -

The "World's Largest Natural Buddha" and "Pearl Curtain Waterfall".

Pinghe Lingtong Mountain is located in Pinghe County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, and is known for its unique natural landscapes and rich cultural history. The mountain is home to many unique peaks and rocks, clear springs and waterfalls, and is shrouded in mist, earning it the nickname "Little Huangshan". The name Lingtong Mountain comes from the four characters "Lingying Gantong" inscribed on Dafeng Rock by Huang Daozhou of the Ming Dynasty. The mountain is home to ancient sites such as Lingtong Temple, as well as natural wonders such as the "World's Largest Natural Buddha" and "Pearl Curtain Waterfall". Lingtong Mountain also has a wealth of animal and plant resources and a variety of snacks and specialties.

A Temple in the Clouds

⛩️ Breathtaking views of a temple hanging high up on a cliff side ⛰️ Incredible hike that includes multiple ladders with even more views at the peak 🥾 Temple hike is friendly to all ages and abilities, peak hike not so much 🏨 Hotel available at base 📸 Photogenic scenery that’s IG friendly 🌤️ Fun in all weather Lingtongshan is a must see no matter the weather if you’re in the Xiamen/Zhangzhou area. I’ve done the hike in sun, rain, and heavy fog and each time is a unique, beautiful, and fun experience. Cost of entry is 20 yuan per person. I’ve taken my 65 year old parents, friends who aren’t in the best shape, dog, and seen countless kids make the hike up the stairs to the temple. The temple portion is about a 30 minute trek and most people of any fitness level can make it. The hike that forks off and goes to the peak is more difficult and requires the ability to squeeze into tight spaces and climb ladders. Be aware if you bring your dog they’ll either need to fit in a bag or you’ll need another way to carry them up the ladders. Hike this portion at your own discretion. The peak hike would take an average group a little over an hour going up and a little less coming back down. Depending on who I hike with I’ve done it as fast as 40 minutes up though. If you have a Chinese drivers license it’s highly recommended to rent a car and drive out to the mountain. The trip from Xiamen is beautiful in itself and you’ll have the flexibility of going/leaving when you want. Getting a DiDi or taxi is very difficult from the mountain so please be prepared ahead of time. Welcome to Fujian and safe travels! #xiamen #fujian #temple #hiking #nature #photography #china #familytrip #instatravel #dogfriendly

A hidden paradise just over 2 hours' drive from Xiamen

Ling Tong Mountain - a great beauty

Hidden on the cliff, the most beautiful millennium-old temple - Ling Tong Mountain Ling Tong Mountain, also known as Dapeng Mountain, is not most captivating for its towering peaks, but for the millennium-old ancient temple - Ling Tong Yan Temple hidden on the cliff halfway up the mountain.

A unique encounter on a rainy day - On a rainy day, the entire forest will be shrouded in mist. At this time, the mystery of the hanging temple is even more intense. The raindrops falling on the eaves of the temple make a pleasant sound, adding a layer of poetry to the scene and conveying the tranquility and vitality of the mountains. Address: Ling Tong Temple, Ling Tong Mountain Scenic Area, Pinghe, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province.

The place where the Gate of Heaven and Earth opens in 'Big Fish & Begonia' is right here!

At Qingpu's cultural event, the staff mysteriously said they would take us to visit the Shengwu Building. I asked what was special about Shengwu Building? She said it must be the most beautiful and exquisite one among all the earth buildings. The most beautiful earth building, let's go and see it then~ Shengwu Building is not in Yongding, but in the neighboring Pinghe County, and there is a drive from Qingpu. However, the chartered car booked for us by Qingpu was very comfortable, and the journey didn't feel too tiring. After arriving, we discovered that this building was the prototype for the Gate of Heaven and Earth in 'Big Fish & Begonia' (after all, we had just rewatched it before coming). The unique value and endless charm of Shengwu Building lie in its exquisite interior decorations. Everywhere you look—on the roof tiles, doors, windows, and walls—there are clay sculptures, stone carvings, wood carvings, and murals. There are more than 600 wood carvings alone, featuring figures, plants, couplets, birds, beasts, and decorative items. The combination of poetry and painting, the harmony of motion and stillness, and the uniqueness of each piece have led experts to call it a 'wood carving museum'. Shengwu Building is no longer inhabited and has been specially preserved. Qingpu brought in an old building manager to explain the earth building to us. The old manager grew up here and has deep feelings for this place. He spoke with full emotion and great pride, but his Mandarin was a bit difficult to understand. For us northerners, it was a bit of a struggle to listen. We could only listen while strolling and appreciate the exquisite wood and clay sculptures. The earth building looks very beautiful in photos. If you have the chance to visit, be sure to take lots of pictures~

It's not that Wugong Mountain is unaffordable, it's just that Daqin Mountain offers better value for money

This is the highest peak in southern Fujian~ Daqin Mountain Although it is the highest peak, the actual climbing distance is very short Regular hikers can reach the summit in just half an hour Navigate to 'Mingfeng Mountain Parking Lot' by car Right next to it is the newly repaired stone staircase There is no light pollution in the mountains, so you can see a swath of stars It is recommended to arrive 2 hours before sunrise Enjoy the starry sky, wait for the sunrise, and watch the sea of clouds The rhododendrons bloom beautifully every year in April and May
