#Yang Jiaxi Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Because of a photo, I came to Yangjiaxi in Xiapu
⛰️ The Yangjiaxi scenic area includes bamboo rafting, zip-lining, glass walkway, Yangjiaxi Ferry Village, and Banyan Maple Park.
🎫 Ticket: Glass bridge + water slide + zip-line 168 (buying it includes a free ticket to Banyan Maple Park, which costs 18 if bought separately)
● Location: Banyan Maple Park (The Yangjiaxi scenic area is quite large, locate Banyan Maple Park to get there directly)
🎫 Ticket: 18 yuan - Best for photography around 9 a.m.
🛶 Bamboo rafting is charged per boat, 300 yuan per raft, and each raft can only carry 5 tourists (including children). You can join others on a raft on the spot.
Location: Yangjiaxi Banyan Tree Scenic Area, Xiapu County, Ningde City, Fujian Province.
🌟 Highlights:
✅ There is a place called Yangjiaxi Banyan Maple Park, where under the ancient banyan trees, the Tyndall effect is mysterious and spectacular, with farmers leading oxen and girls driving flocks of geese. Anyone who sees this photo will exclaim 'Wow'!
✅ Banyan Maple Park is a forest park dominated by banyan trees and maple trees. The park has tens of thousands of contiguous Liquidambar trees, with tall and straight trunks and lush branches and leaves. The ancient banyan group area is a completely different scene: each banyan tree stretches freely, with a crown like a canopy, hanging aerial roots, and gnarled roots spreading across the ground, ancient and simple.
✅ A popular photo spot is located to the left of the entrance, across a bridge in the banyan tree area. It's easy to find and not far, just look for where the crowd is.
📝 Tips:
🎫 Taking photos with the smoky water buffalo and the elderly costs money.
➡️ The 'Old Farmer with Ox' and 'Farm Woman with Geese' are actually staged photo opportunities, performed by actors on-site, complete with smoke effects. The actors charge an appearance fee of about 200-300 yuan, and you can go there alone and find others to share the cost on the spot.
Yangjiaxi in Fujian
Yangjiaxi is located at No. 56, Yangjiaxi Village, Yacheng Town, Xiapu County, Ningde City, Fujian Province, and is now a national 3A-level scenic spot. The main attraction in the scenic area is the large banyan tree. Bathed in the morning light, the gaps in the tree reveal beams of 'Jesus light' amidst the haze, and scenes of old farmers leading oxen and village women herding geese and ducks, which are refreshing and stunningly beautiful.

Yangjiaxi Rongfeng Park in Xiapu is a scene from the textbooks, featuring the old man and the ox
Yangjiaxi's Rongfeng Park is a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Many tourists like to come here to take pictures of the ancient banyan trees. Shrouded in mist and rain, the whole Yangjiaxi seems like a fairyland. The park is quite different from what one might imagine. Although it is called a park, it is not very large in size. The ancient banyan and maple trees here are generally over 900 years old, with thick trunks and lush foliage. Some of the roots are exposed on the ground, like sinews stretching into the earth, while the branches extend out to form a green barrier. The sunlight casts mottled shadows through the leaves.
The most famous sights here are the raincoated elder carrying a yoke and driving an ox, and the goose-herding girl in a floral jacket. They pass under the ancient trees, with clouds and mist swirling behind them, creating a natural painting reminiscent of a heavenly paradise. When you step in, you become part of the painting, which is why the photos turn out so well.
It is this beautiful scenery that has made the cover of the Chinese language textbooks and has made Rongfeng Park widely known, becoming a must-visit destination for tourists. Of course, there are also many who feel it is not worth the visit after going, as the expected natural beauty turns out to be artificially staged, shattering the dreamlike illusion.
The misty scenes in the photos come from artificially generated smoke. The raincoated elder and the goose herder are local farmers in costume, and the oxen and geese are trained to move according to the photographer's instructions, presenting the best possible picture to the tourists. Of course, all of these services come with a fee. The scene of the elder with the yoke and ox costs 150 yuan per person, and a photo with the ox costs 50 yuan per person.
With the mindset of 'since we're here, let's do it,' I decisively spent 50 yuan for my son to experience the joy of herding the ox with a flute, although it lacked some pastoral charm and had more of a worldly air. During the ox-riding, the raincoated elder's posture was spot on, and a crowd of photographers and tourists surrounded them, snapping away as if they were the most beautiful scenery at that moment.
