Longkong Cave in Longyan, Fujian | The No. 1 Cave in East China.
| The No. 1 Cave in East China. Scenic Area: A national 4A-level scenic area, known as the "Guilin in the Cave". Formed in the Paleozoic Era 300 million years ago, the cave has 8 halls and 16 branch caves, divided into upper, middle, and lower levels, and takes 1–2 hours to visit.
Tickets: CNY 50/person (scenic area) CNY 47/person (Trip.com) Children CNY 25/person
Children under 120 cm are free, the scenic shuttle bus is CNY 5/one way, and the boat is CNY 30/6 people.
There are scenic area staff at each point to provide free explanations, and there are 2 photo spots with fees, but they are not mandatory.
Highlights:
1. There is an underground river where you can row a boat out of the cave. (There should be no children who don't like it)
2. There is a point where you can "go upstairs", walk around in a circle, and then "go downstairs".
Dining:
There are several restaurants on the mountain road and in the scenic area, where you can order set meals/noodles, all clearly priced.
There are also some small shops selling instant noodles, sausages, grass jelly, etc.
Transportation: Self-driving is convenient, and there is a medium-sized parking lot on the mountain. During the National Day holiday, there were 3–4 parking spaces left when we arrived, just full.
The mountain road winds around, and I didn't pay much attention, estimating 30–60 minutes on the mountain road.

The Houlong ancient residential houses are in their original state
The Houlong ancient residential houses are part of the Donghu ancient residential houses, but they are more primitive. Some are no longer inhabited, but their once prosperity can be glimpsed, with the oldest being three to four hundred years old. When visiting the national primary school, there is a sign on the right side that says 'Houlong Ancient Residential Houses Group'. Just follow the sign and walk up the steps.
Donghu ancient village, a 3A tourist attraction (free of charge), is a traditional Chinese ancient village located in Xinan Town, Zhangping City. It is one of the most famous rural travel destinations in Zhangping and one of the top ten most beautiful ancient villages in Western Fujian! It is also a paradise for sketching enthusiasts. The transportation is convenient; it's a 10-minute drive on an asphalt road after getting off the highway. The blogger has visited three times already, search 'Donghu' on the main page for more introductions, and navigate to 'Donghu Village' or 'Guyun Donghu Scenic Area' to get there.
There are at least two homestays in the village, no reservation needed, just go directly. One is opposite the village office, and the other is near the national primary school. However, there aren't many farm stays in the village, so if you don't stay overnight, it's better to go out to the town to eat after visiting. The town is about 2 kilometers away, and the Nanzhou Restaurant (recommended by locals) is recommended, with skull meat as its specialty!
Currently, Donghu Village has attractions like water slides and high-altitude glass walkways, but they seem to be not very cost-effective, to each their own opinion.

The next day, you can choose to visit the surrounding tea gardens, experience the fun of picking and making tea, and gain a deeper understanding of Fujian's profound tea culture.

There are many places where you can enjoy cherry blossoms, but appreciating them in a tea garden is quite distinctive. First of all, the colors, with the green tea garden as a backdrop, the cherry blossoms appear even more vivid and eye-catching, pleasing to the eye and soothing to the heart; secondly, the sowing characteristics of the tea garden add a sense of line to the view from a distance; at the tea house on the mountain top, one can sit by the floor-to-ceiling windows, sipping tea and enjoying the flowers, which is quite atmospheric. Taipin Cherry Blossom Tea Garden, it must be one of the most beautiful footprints of my Dragon Year!

2⃣️Choose to enjoy flowers on a sunny day🌞Blue sky and white clouds, the light is changeable and layered
☔️On rainy days, the light is soft and there will be misty rain and fog in the mountains. There are few people visiting.
ㅤ
3⃣️Viewing check-in points:
1⃣️Fangfei Terrace: The highest viewing platform in the park, you can take pictures of the entire tea garden, and it is a good vantage point for sunrise.
2⃣️Taiwanese Cherry Blossom Building: The cherry blossoms here are relatively concentrated, and it is very good to match the Chinese style.
3⃣️Train No. 2: You can take the small train in the park and walk around. It is very romantic to slowly move forward under the cherry blossom trees. (The flowers along the railway line have fallen now, so there is no need to sit on it)
4⃣️Punch in time:
The flow of people in the Sakura Garden is concentrated between 11:00 and 15:00 at noon, which can avoid the peak flow of people.
ㅤ
5⃣️📷Photography guide:
1⃣️The effect of aerial photography of the Sakura Garden will be great, with many unexpected compositions.
2⃣️There are many cherry blossoms in the park, so there is no need to spend too much time in crowded areas.
3⃣️If you can’t capture the special features of this place by just taking photos of cherry blossoms, you must take photos with the sea of tea to make it even more amazing.
