[2025 Luoyuan Attraction] Travel Guide for Sheshanshui Scenic Area (Updated Apr)

⛰️A great place to visit during the Lunar New Year holiday: Luoyuan She Mountain Water Scenic Area ⏰About 2 hours' drive from Fuzhou 💰Tickets can be purchased on Trip.com: CNY 36 for adults, CNY 20 for discounted tickets 🚗The last 20 km (about 40 mins) to the scenic area is mostly winding mountain roads. The roads are narrow, so if you're driving a large vehicle, remember to slow down and give way to other vehicles on the bends. 🌟When we arrived, we found that the scenic area was in the dry season. Waterfalls are best visited after the Qingming Festival, when they are more spectacular. However, the advantage of visiting in the dry season is that there are fewer people. We had the whole scenic area to ourselves. Although there were no rushing waterfalls, the pools in the scenic area were as green as those in Jiuzhaigou, and the air was fresh. 🥖As a foodie, I can't go anywhere without food. As shown in the last three pictures, there is a Shequan Teahouse about 25 minutes' walk from the entrance. There is a long corridor at the entrance. We brought our own small gas stove to make tea, eat snacks, and play cards. Since there was no one else there, we took over three large tables. It was very relaxing. 😌 👟The scenic area is mostly flat, so it's suitable for the elderly and children. There is a lot of moss, so wear non-slip shoes.

Luoyuan is a small county located on the eastern coast of Fuzhou. It is one of the main settlements of the She ethnic group in Fujian and is also the hometown where I was born and raised. However, I am not a She ethnic group member. I have lived here for 20 years, and this year is my first time to embark on a sightseeing tour of the She ethnic group's cultural customs.
