It is a little far from the downtown area of Yong'an. There is a skylight inside, which is the most famous landscape of Taoyuan Cave. It is 90 meters high and 120 meters long. There is a gap at the cliff break. Climb up the steps and the narrow part is only enough to pass sideways.
The great tourist Xu Xiake also came here. "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes" called this skylight "large and close, far and neat", and was rated as the narrowest and longest skylight in the Guinness World Records. Moreover, there are as many as 6 "skylights" in Taoyuan Cave Scenic Area, which is relatively rare in scenic spots with Danxia landforms in China.
There are also Taohuajian, Canglutan, Taoyuan Cave Cliff Carvings, Locking Cave Bridge, Guanyin Dashi Hall, etc. Lily Valley is really full of wild lilies on the mountain, and the air and scenery are beautiful. The 60 yuan ticket is still worth coming. The combined ticket with Linyin Stone Forest is 90 yuan, valid for 2 days.”

M32***46:“The dilapidated and weathered city wall is now full of vigor and vitality. This gurgling sand stream has nurtured several generations of people. The old bridge in front of us is still the same, and the people on Gongbao are still the same.”
乘 风 & 徐胤泽:“I have been here countless times! To be honest, there are not many tourists in the hotel unless it is a holiday! The hot spring water is natural geothermal water. As for whether the water in the pool on the mountain is artificially heated, it is unknown. When I was a child, there were hot springs here. The water quality at that time was very, very, very good, and the temperature could boil eggs. You had to mix cold water and hot water to bathe. Now it has been developed into a resort hotel, and the hot spring water storage pool is just below the lobby.
The hotel is on the side of the national highway. Because the highway has been built, there are few vehicles on the national highway. Therefore, the hotel is extremely quiet. For those who pursue quiet cultivation, this is a good choice.
Dining is a problem. The hotel has a farmhouse. If you need to eat, you must go to the farmhouse. If you need a midnight snack at night, you can make an appointment in advance. The price of the meal is not cheap and the taste is average. If you want to eat well, you can go to Xiaotao Town. The road is not close! Except for self-driving.
The facilities in the hotel are above average! Everything you should have is clean and tidy. There are indeed few service staff, but they are responsive.
Summary: Natural environment, such a small flow of people, natural hot spring water, there are not many in the country! Suitable for a quiet holiday or recuperation trip.”

M32***62:“The pontoon bridge of Jishan in Yong'an is a long-standing landscape in Jishan Village in Yong'an City, Fujian Province, with a deep cultural heritage and unique architectural characteristics. Here are its introduction and key information: 1. Historical background and construction - the construction period: the pontoon bridge was built in the second year of Qinghui Zheng (1724), and was first initiated by Jishan Jinshi Liu Yuanxuan. At first, because the villagers had to rely on the river to cross, especially the rainy season, Liu Yuanxuan took the lead in donating funds and mobilizing the villagers to build it together. - Structure evolution: originally from 12 wooden boats connected to the frame, later changed to 12 iron boats due to the vulnerability of the wooden boats. Each group of two iron boats, the middle frame wooden beams and wooden boards, with a thick chain fixed on the two sides of the stone pier, the total length of about 77 meters. 2. Function and cultural significance - Transportation and life: Historically, it is an important passage for villagers to and from both sides of Wenchuanxi, connecting farming areas, academies (such as Cuiyuan) and villages, which greatly facilitates life and learning. - Imperial examination symbol: the ancient village with a reputation can build the pontoon bridge, Liu Yuanxuan after the middle school, made this bridge become a symbol of the prosperity of Jishan literary style. - War memory: During the War of Resistance Against Japan (1938-1945), Jishan was the temporary provincial capital of Fujian Province. The pontoon witnessed the flow of wartime personnel and materials, and was part of the cultural site of the War of Resistance Against Japan. 3. Architectural features and landscape - unique design: the pontoon bridge is curved with the water level, the wooden board is laid with a gap, and the walking is slightly swaying, which is quite ancient. The ancient strait is hidden, and the Wenchuanxi constitutes a poetic picture of the "wide strait of Chaoping". - Existing state: the structure of the iron boat has still been retained, which has become a hot spot for tourists to experience history and take pictures and punch in, especially when rape blossoms are in full bloom in spring, forming a landscape blending with the surrounding ancient houses (such as doctor's day and Cuiyuan). 4. Surrounding cultural ties - red history: nearby Red Army combat sites (such as the record of the Red Army taking the Yongan City by pontoon in 1934) and the former site of the provincial hospital during the Anti-Japanese War, highlighting the role of pontoon in military and rescue. - Literature and art: The pontoon bridge has inspired literary creations such as "Yongan Night", and its artistic conception of "the sunset of the ferry head" is often depicted by literati. 5. Travel information - Location: Located in Jishan Village, Yanxi Street, Yong'an City, about 4 kilometers away from the city, you can reach it by bus or by car. - Recommended experience: stroll the pontoon bridge to experience history, combine visiting the Cuiyuan Academy, the Doctor's First and other Qing Dynasty buildings, or enjoying flowers in spring photography. This pontoon bridge is not only the crystallization of the history and wisdom of Jishan Village, but also an important carrier of Yongan's "red culture" and "culture of resistance to war" and traditional village style.”

北极的小小星:“ The world is so big, I want to see. Stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the mixed tastes of work, let yourself breathe a free air. It took two nights to browse the surrounding attractions suitable for two-day tours, chose the destination ~ Yongan, and opened the first trip in 24 that was left: D1, taste special snacks, and swim the hidden stone forest on February 19th. Take the train from Fuzhou Station at 10:11 am. Arrive at Yong'an Station at 12 o'clock, and then take a taxi to Xiangzhang City Hotel. It is very convenient to take a taxi in Yong'an. You can call the car in 3~ 5 minutes. Put your luggage. Although it is outside the window in February, it has been sunny and high. The temperature has soared to about 30 degrees. I quickly changed to a short-sleeved T-shirt. Directly follow Du Niang to the nearby old brand "Old Yong'an Xutiao Store" lunch, it really deserves its reputation, Xutiao white and smooth, the soup is delicious, with a plate of rumored "live meat" slices, looking ordinary, eating but endless aftertaste. At noon, I returned to the hotel for a little rest and sat on the taxi to the long-seen scale hidden stone forest. It is a typical karst landform. 4A-level scenic area, because the surface of the stone buds is fish scales, and the meaning of the classic "the heaven is hidden" is called scale. Among them, the strange stones stand, the peak overlap, the strange stones anthropomorphic, thousands of shapes, especially the kissing stone and overlord Bee Ji stone, lifelike, breathtaking nature's ghostly work. Dinner punched in the rice dumpling 888 late night food stall, the store is warm and comfortable, handmade beef ball Q bounce, it is worth a try. D2, Jishan Village (Jishan Bistro, Qilin Gongwu, Big Banyan Tree, Floating Bridge, Cuiyuan, Liu's Ancient Castle, Yong'an National Fujian Yinzhuan Former Site), Yong'an Pedestrian Street, Chen Apo Chacha Guodian, Yong'an Museum (Confucian Temple), Second check-in Old Yong'an Yitiao Store Jishan Village is a Chinese legend Tongcun, the village is flowing with a clear river, a solemn small temple, a yellow and green rapeseed field, a long-old castle, several old sites of Yongan Anti-Japanese War, let you feel that although it has undergone vicissitudes, it is still fresh and refined. It is like being in a paradise. It is also a famous historical and cultural village in Fujian Province. During the period of resistance, the provincial capital of Fujian Provincial Committee moved from Fuzhou to Yong'an for 7 and a half years. Qiyu Public Housing was a branch of Fujian Provincial Experimental Primary School at that time; Cuiyuan is the key protection unit of cultural relics in the country, the former site of the Fujian National Government Health Department; The National Fujian Music College is a college founded in Yong'an in 1940. The school site is located in Jishan Village. The wooden houses are organized in a well-organized manner. There are old photos on the walls of the house. The dusty piano in the house is also placed with music scores. It seems to be telling the teaching and anti-Japanese rescue activities carried out in the sound special during the period of the war of resistance. The most striking is the village ferry pontoon bridge, the pontoon bridge is made of a few orange-yellow mottled wooden boats and a few wooden boards with chains, originally the village used to cross the river transportation, but now it has become a beautiful scenery, and it is amazing everywhere. Liu's ancient castle was an unexpected harvest on the way. I thought that I had finished visiting the entire Jishan Village and was ready to go back to the house, but I took a taxi in the village and took a look at a tubao standing outside the car window in less than five minutes. I decisively asked the driver to stop the car and visit inside. This Liu's tubao, It is a typical Tubao-style building in the Qing Dynasty, with a flat layout of "back" shape, a west-facing east, civil structure, Tubao height of about 8 meters, and a corridor width of1.26 meters above it, around the castle for a week. The area covers an area of 1600 square meters. At that time, due to the harsh environment, wild animals, a lot of bandits, and fierce conflicts with the local indigenous people, and the clan armed struggles are more frequent, so the Hakka family will build the residence into a fortified city building that is "resisting" strong, and the family will live together. During the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was used as the office of Fujian Agricultural Improvement Office, and it was changed to Fujian First Prison Department because of the surrounding closure and desertion. Jishan Village directly took a taxi to Yong'an Pedestrian Street, and slowly walked from the street to the end of the street for about half an hour. I searched for the Chen Apo Fork and Fork Shop hidden in the alley. The store was warm and simple. According to its introduction, the store has been open for 30 years, and it is now the second generation of people. Taste a few snacks in the store, in addition to the fork fruit is a must point, personal wall crack recommended beef ball soup, absolutely let you feel worthwhile. After lunch, walk out of the alley, diagonally opposite the Yongan Museum, which is also the Yongan Temple of Confucianism, the only ancient building that still survives the city to witness the historical development process of the local area. It was built in Mingjingtai six years, in the early days of the Republic of China, the first county-level new national education school in Yong'an was also born here, after the outbreak of the war, the Temple of Literature was once used as the provincial government office and the provincial Yong'an Normal School office, school location, has a history of 500 years, the total construction area of 5,000 square meters, After the eighth renovation in 2003, the 6 pieces of the Qing Kangxi emperor handwriting "Wanshishi Shishi Watch" and the three pairs of the handwriting of the Zheng and the Qianlong two emperors were remade, and the bronze dings of the sacrifice holes and bronze bells, stone gongs and other gifts and musical instruments were also equipped. After visiting the Confucian Temple, it was still early to leave the return train, and I checked in the old Yong'an Yitiao store again, so that the taste buds could relive the deliciousness of Yong'an.
