The scenery is tranquil, and it's pleasing to the eye at first glance

I'm sharing the travel guide from Xiamen to Lingtong Mountain: It's super suitable for students and workers without cars, or friends who just don't want to drive! · ⛳Location: Lingtong Rock, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province 🚌Transportation: Join an outdoor group, gather at SM and take a bus directly to the destination (p.s I don't recommend this, everyone should check for themselves, there are many outdoor clubs in Xiamen now) 💰Cost: Average 168 per person, including transportation and admission (20), bring your own lunch. · Hiking itinerary: ⛳Destination: The highest peak of Lingtong Mountain - Qingtian Peak, 1288m above sea level ① 8 o'clock - Gathering: Gather at SM before 8 o'clock. ② 11 o'clock - Arrive at the foot of Lingtong Rock: Depart from Xiamen, about 3h to the entrance of Lingtong Rock ③ 12 o'clock - Arrive at Lingtong Temple: About half an hour of climbing. Stay for about 1h for photos, including lunch time. (The temple has hot water, instant noodles, you can buy or bring your own) ④ 13 o'clock - Hike to Qingtian Peak: About 1h to climb to the top ⭐The road is a bit wild, the experience is great! Beginners don't need to worry about whether they can climb, even children can climb easily. ⑥ 15 o'clock - Descend the same way: About 1h · About equipment: ✔Clothes: Depending on the temperature, it is recommended to bring loose clothes that can be taken off in autumn and winter ✔Food: Bring your own food, recommend 2 bottles of water, just don't let yourself go hungry. ✔Travel: Bring a trekking pole if possible (I don't think it's necessary)

Moody Temples

Spent the weekend running around a mountain temple in Zhangzhou. 1,500 stairs up the side of the mountain is this temple that, surprisingly, wasn’t too busy despite the holiday. It may not have been perfect conditions for a clear view of the ling tong temple - or the mountain it’s on - but the rolling mist was perfect for moody shots. Next time, will hope for slightly less mist to be able to get the drone up though. #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure

Lingtong mountain, also known as Dafeng mountain, is located in the southwest of Pinghe County, Zhangzhou city. Because of its long history and vicissitudes, the name of the mountain has changed. At first, it was called Dafeng mountain, which was also called Dapeng mountain because of the frequent roosting of Dapeng birds. At that time, the mountain was full of maple trees, and the forests were dyed in autumn, so it was also called Dafeng mountain. With the decrease of maple trees, it was only seen that the mountain rose into the clouds, and it was recorded in the history books as Dafeng mountain. Until Huang Daozhou, the great scholar of Ming Dynasty, wrote the four words "lingyinggantong" for Dafeng rock, people began to call it Dafeng rock As lingtongyan, Dafeng mountain is also called lingtongshan.

Chaozhou Surrounding Tours, a scenic spot nestled in the deep mountain cliffs

A ancient temple hidden in the cliff. More suitable for lazy people's mountain climbing experience🧗🏻‍♀️ A place full of incense Location📍: Lingtong Mountain, Zhangzhou⛰️ | Hanging Temple (navigate to Qingyun Hotel parking lot) Ticket🎫: 💰20 yuan/person Parking fee💰10 yuan (there are restrooms in both parking lots, be sure to go before climbing the mountain!!) Tips❗❗: Suggest self-driving Not easy to hail a taxi/light packing/must wear comfortable shoes👟 It takes 1.5h to get there from Jieyang Fish Lake, and the highway toll is about ¥50 On the choice between work and advancement, I chose to climb mountains and offer incense The journey is smooth, but it is still recommended to bring an experienced driver ①📸: Wearing a tight sporty top with cargo pants looks incredibly good in photos; you can also wear all black in a Chinese style, with the Hanging Temple as a backdrop for a stunning shot!! If you don't mind the weight, you can bring both styles and change clothes at the mountain top~ ②Gourmet: There is a vegetarian restaurant on the mountain, just bring some water and snacks, in short, travel light. ③🉑You can bring your own incense and candles, which are also available for purchase on the mountain. Prepare some coins, there is a wishing wall at Lingtong Rock where you can toss coins to make a wish (I, being a money-lover🤑, must throw at the entrance of great wealth). Bring an empty bottle to fill with spring water from the Guanyin area to make tea at home ④The Hanging Temple is not difficult to climb, it takes about an hour to walk and take photos to get up there, the first half is a flat cement road, and the second half is when you start climbing stone steps. The altitude (920 meters) is manageable for children, and for friends in Jieyang, it's shorter than Huangqi Mountain, just go for it! Very friendly to beginners!!

Let's go hiking together this summer

The view from the top of Lingtong Mountain is definitely not to be missed! Entrance: Lingtong Mountain Scenic Area Admission: 20 Parking Fee: 10 The internet-famous 'Hanging Temple' - Lingtong Temple is located halfway up the mountain, and it's easy to find following the signs. This temple is very popular for those seeking blessings. To reach the summit of Lingtong Mountain, you need to know about its highest peak - Qingtian Peak (1287.4 meters). You'll need to find the sign 'Tongtiantai' first, and follow the arrows to find the entrance to climb Qingtian Peak. The climb to Qingtian Peak is quite steep, but not difficult, as there are ladders available for the dangerous sections, and there are steps all the way. However, do not climb when it's raining. First-time visitors can follow two routes to track their journey, search for 'Lingtong Mountain Summit (less than 10km)' or 'Lingtong Mountain Circuit (just over 10km)' to enjoy the view from the top on foot.

Pinghe is located in the southwestern part of Luzhou, not far from Xiamen. He heard the name of peace and originated from honey pomelo. Pinghe is famous for its dense grapefruit. This time I went to the Potala Palace in Gaozhai. Hazhai Village in Xiazhai Town is a village built on the mountainside at an altitude of 400-600 meters. The newly built building of the villagers is in the pomelo sea, just like the Potala Palace in Tibet. arrived at Gaozhai Village, a little cool, the grapefruit in the mountain is still fruitful, full of branches, people are very amazing, there is no charge for the current attractions. Follow the repaired roads and walk down all the way. Intimate contact with the grapefruit forest, the grapefruits all over the mountains, and it seems to smell the grapefruit aroma. From the bottom of the mountain, there is a huge honey pomelo-shaped observation deck that can be seen at the pomelo sea. Going down, there is a wooden fence, passing through the Ping An Pavilion, it is a suspension bridge, where the grapefruit is another style. walked out along the wooden ramp, and came to the couple tree not far from the direction of the mountain. The two old banyan trees looked at the middle, and the middle was the old man. It is said that because the two trees are similar in length, like the husband and wife face, they are called husband and wife trees, and newly married couples will come here to worship for a hundred years.
