Fujian Sanming Taining County's Dajin Lake, a paradise on earth that you must visit at least once in your lifetime
✨Dear friends, today I want to share with you a stunning tourist spot—Dajin Lake in Taining County, Sanming City, Fujian Province. This place boasts unique Danxia landforms and breathtaking scenery.
🚢The main activities are on the islands in Dajin Lake, so you must take a boat. The boat ticket is 75 yuan + entrance fee 80 yuan + guide fee 8 yuan. Currently, the scenic area's boats and yachts are combined, and the prices are the same. When checking tickets, please pay attention to the individual and group channels.
🌅The entire tour has three stops.
The first stop is Ganlu Temple, which is somewhat like the Hanging Temple and very spectacular. Inside, there is a Zhuangyuan Pillar that supports the temple. You can hug it and make a wish. If your wish comes true, don't forget to fulfill your vow. There are also many Buddha and Bodhisattva statues that you can worship to pray for blessings for yourself and your family.
Xiexian Tian is very narrow and long. Walking inside feels like entering a mysterious world. For friends who love adventure and seek excitement, this is definitely a great place.😎
The second stop is Xiexian Tian. The sense of space here is very unique. Some parts even block the sky above, creating a wonderful feeling of being surrounded by nature. It feels as if you are isolated from the outside world, immersed in this narrow space.✨
The third stop is the Dajin Lake Slide, which is 1.5 kilometers long and the longest slide in Fujian Province. First, climb up the mountain to the slide area, buy a ticket, and you can slide down directly. The fee is 60 yuan, and 30 yuan for children under 1.2 meters. 60 yuan feels a bit expensive, but it is a unique experience. If you are hesitant, you can choose not to slide. There are cameras to take pictures of you while sliding, which you can collect at the bottom of the mountain for 20 yuan each, with lamination.
🍱There are places to eat nearby, right at the entrance of the ticket office.
🛕There is also an ancient city of Taining nearby, which is very lively at night with food and drinks.
Food recommendations: Herbal soup, meat sauce noodles, scallion oil noodles, and yam rib soup are all very good and reasonably priced.
🏠As for accommodation, there are many options near the scenic area. Friends who live nearby can drive there and return on the same day, which is very convenient.
💕In short, Dajin Lake is a place well worth visiting. Come and check it out!

My Life FIRST | Taining Water Danxia
| Taining Water Danxia. 🌟 Highlights:
Taining Scenic Area is located in Taining County, Sanming City, Fujian Province, on the southeast side of the Shaling branch of the Wuyi Mountains. Currently, seven major scenic spots have been developed, including Dajin Lake, Mao'er Mountain, Zhaixia Grand Canyon, and Taining Ancient City.
In Meikou Village, the core scenic spot of Dajin Lake, visitors can admire the most typical landform of Taining National Geopark—Water Danxia. The deep and quiet canyons, the bizarre caves, and the majestic peaks blend with the primitive and simple natural ecology, forming the most unique natural scenery of Taining.
Climbing high and looking far, the scenery is both intoxicating and refreshing. Clear water and red mountains are the two main elements that make up the beautiful scenery—elegant and quiet water, majestic and graceful mountains; red cliffs protrude into the lake, and clear water penetrates deep into the mountains; the combination of masculinity and femininity, the complement of boldness and gentleness.
🚉 Transportation Guide:
Self-driving
💰 Average Cost:
Free
📝 Tips:
1. There is a suspension bridge in Meikou Village, and there is a trail next to the bridge. It takes about twenty minutes to reach the top of the mountain and overlook Dajin Lake. The scenery is very spectacular.
2. Taining has rich tourism resources and the scenic area is relatively large. If you want to visit the Grand Canyon and the ancient city, it is recommended to stay in the ancient city for 1 or 2 nights.
3. In summer, Fujian has plenty of sunshine. The Grand Canyon is relatively cool, but in other scenic spots, you need to pay attention to sun protection and heatstroke prevention.

Fujian Mountain and Sea Journey - Taining Great Golden Lake
The Golden Lake, short for Jinxi New Lake, is named for the gold sand contained in the riverbed. The scenic area is located 12 kilometers west of Taining County and is the largest man-made lake in Fujian.
Taining Great Golden Lake is the core scenic area of Taining, mainly featuring luxury cruise tours. The vast and serene waters perfectly blend with the varied and verdant Danxia mountains. It's like a hundred-mile-long scroll of landscapes, where mountains and water integrate in a poetic and picturesque manner.
The first stop of the Golden Lake cruise is the Wild Fun Park, where the mountains are clear, the water is beautiful, and the caves and rocks are fascinating. There are folk performances, scenic trails, and slides, among other attractions.
Ganlu Temple is located on the west bank of Taining Golden Lake and was founded in 1146 AD. It features a unique architectural structure that uses 'one pillar into the ground, without relying on a single tile.' The entire temple is connected by 'T'-shaped arches, without using any iron nails, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship, ornate beams, and painted rafters, presenting a unique style and is a masterpiece in the history of Chinese architecture.
The Shuiqu Waterfall, also known as the Baishuiqu Waterfall, is divided into two layers. The waterfall cliffs are about 10 meters wide and about 20 meters deep, making it the largest waterfall in Golden Lake.
Yixiantian, also known as 'Slanting Sky,' is an inclined rock fracture that has been curved and elongated by years of water erosion and weathering.
The crevice is narrow like a seam, and by climbing up from 'Slanting Sky,' one can reach the top and then descend along another valley about 50 meters high, creating a 'one slant, one straight' natural landscape that is truly magical and rare.
Shili Pinghu, the most open water surface of Golden Lake, is 8 kilometers long from north to south, 3 kilometers wide from east to west, and more than 60 meters deep. Surrounded by mountains and dotted with islands, the water merges with the sky, the wind sways the grass, the water moves the mountains, and it is refreshing to the mind and spirit.
Zhaixia Grand Canyon is located in Zhaixia Village, 15 kilometers northwest of Taining County in Fujian. It is formed by three canyons connected end to end in a ring-shaped triangle, resembling a golden dragon lying among the mountains, hence also known as Golden Dragon Valley.
The scenic area is characterized by Danxia landforms, with deep and serene valleys, towering cliffs; dense vegetation, and a tranquil environment, resembling a paradise on earth.
The roads in the canyon are well constructed, with some parts paved with wooden planks and others with floor tiles, with most sections being gentle.
At the top of the mountain, there is a barrier lake, named for the accumulation of collapsed cliffs that dammed the river to form a lake, also known as Yanqi Lake or Cuizhu Lake. The lake water is quiet and cool, with sheer cliffs on one side and dense bamboo on the other, creating a strong contrast.
Jingu Temple in the scenic area is a Ming Dynasty temple built against the mountain. Due to its location in the deep mountains, it does not receive many visitors.
Shangqing Stream is 12 kilometers from the county town, mainly offering bamboo rafting tours. The rafting distance is 16 kilometers, taking about 2 hours.
The scenery on both sides of the stream is very beautiful, with birds not shying away from people, and voices echoing through the valley. The bamboo raft winds through the uninhabited red rocks and verdant peaks, with the sound of water filling the ears and beautiful scenery in sight.
Returning to the ancient city of Taining, the most famous is Shangshu Alley, with ancient streets, wells, and lanes, where one can learn about Taining's cultural history and touch upon the vicissitudes of Taining's 2200 years.
It's a pity that the time in Taining was too short. When I returned to the ancient city, it was already dark, and I was unable to visit Shangshu Mansion and the museum, leaving some suspense for next time. Taining·Sanming

Taining Jinhu Scenic Area
Jinhu Lake is located in Taining County at the southern end of Wuyi Mountain, a national key scenic spot and a national 4A level tourist area.
OwenFletcher19
Dajin Lake, once a business card of Taining, although there are more and more tourist attractions in Taining in recent years, Dajin Lake is still a landmark-level scenic spot in Sanming. Take a boat trip 3 times to stop at different attractions. The first stop: Ganlu Temple The second stop: First-line days Although there are a lot of attractions in China, the Dajin Lake has a unique style. Climbing along the stone steps to the rest of the stone, the sky becomes narrower and narrower, until it falls into a darkness, requiring hands and feet to pass. A light flashed in front of the sky. After experiencing difficulties and obstacles and suddenly becoming more and more cheerful, it seems to be telling the philosophy of life. Third stop: Wild Fun Park.
