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

Getting There - rental car, we came from Xiamen which took about 3h Attractions - temple & nature Food & Restaurants - few convenience stores close to the temple, besides that better bring your own stuff Difficulty - hike around 3-4h, challenging if not prepared but great way through the forest #bucketlistreboot #nature #china #temples

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. Lingtong mountain, known as "the first mountain in South Fujian"#summervacation

| 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. -

⛩️ 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

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.

The beauty of the morning - Arriving in the morning, you will be greeted by the magnificent sight of the morning glow scattered among the mountains.

Devout pilgrims come here every day to offer incense and prayers, creating an endless stream of visitors. The scenery here is beautiful, attracting many domestic and foreign photography enthusiasts. It was once rated by 'National Geographic' as one of the ten most beautiful hanging temples. If you haven't been here yet, you must come and see it; it will definitely amaze you. No matter whether you come here in spring, summer, or autumn, there are different beautiful scenes. I personally prefer the spring and summer seasons. After a heavy rain, you can see the spectacular sight of rain curtains transforming into raindrops.

In such a place that seems like a fairyland, you can temporarily forget the vanity and noise of this world, and it is also the best way to clear your mind.
