It was my first time hiking up Daqin Mountain in early autumn.
Take advantage of the autumn to go hiking and watch the sunrise. Last year I watched a beautiful sunrise at Daqin Mountain. A year later, I planned to hike at night again to see the mountains in early autumn. Daqin Mountain is 1500m above sea level and is the highest peak in southern Fujian⛰

Depart from Xiamen and arrive in about 2.5 hours. The temperature in the mountains is relatively low. You can reach the top of the mountain by walking slowly for an hour. It's a pity that it was cloudy this time and there was fog everywhere. Many people went down the mountain without seeing the sunrise. We chose to stay in the mountains and wait for the sky to brighten.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t see the sunrise. On a foggy day, walking in the misty forest is like a dream, with a unique flavor. After the fog faded, we were accompanied by greenery on the way down the mountain. There are rhododendron trees and tea trees all over the mountains, wild flowers and grasses along the way, and magnificent mountains all around. I think this hike is worth it!🌲

🌲Some Tips⚠
✔Weather
If you want to watch the sunrise, you must check the weather before setting off. Choose a sunny day, or a sunny day after it rained the day before.
✔Road conditions
The full name is stone steps, which are easier to walk on, but can also easily cause sore feet. You can bring trekking poles to protect your knees
✔ Outfit suggestions
Quick-drying clothes + jackets. The wind on the mountain is very strong and the temperature is much lower than in the city. Don't rush in short sleeves!

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