The spectacular Danxia formations of Dajin Lake contrast beautifully with the emerald waters, creating a picturesque blend of mountains and water. Dotted with ancient temples, the landscape offers breathtaking geological wonders. This harmonious blend of nature and culture makes this a must-see destination in Fujian.
When you come to Taining, you must visit Jinhu Lake. The unique landscape of Chibi red cliffs and clear water, Ganlu Temple, a suspended building with "one pillar inserted into the ground without a tile", is worth seeing. The boat trip is very relaxing, and the rock gap ladder is also quite unique. The last waterfall attraction is a bit far-fetched. It is a so-called waterfall of a few meters high, and it also climbs a hill of dozens of meters high. There is no landscape, which is speechless. The tour guide's explanation is good, but the ticket price of more than 100 is a bit expensive

The night view was stunning. We took the first boat, and the reflections were perfectly smooth, perfect for the view. It was a bit rainy, but it was still fun. The kayak slid through the emerald waters, sometimes wide, sometimes narrow, weaving through gaps like a slashing sky. It was the boatman's first time on the boat. The vibrant lights on both sides of the river echoed beautifully, complemented by the projection reality show, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
Hidden in the secret realm of the treasure town, there is a unique Danxia landform. You can take a night cruise on a cruise ship passing through the cliffs and appreciate the wonders of nature. The scenery is magnificent, but there will be long queues during the Spring Festival, so you should enter the park in advance.

Zhaixia Grand Canyon is composed of three canyons connected end to end, Xuantian Gorge, Tongtian Gorge and other canyons. UN experts call it "the model scenic spot of the world geological park". It has Danxia landforms, natural beauty, waterfalls, barrier lakes, and mountain cracks. Hiking in the canyon is like traveling through a time tunnel. Zhaixia Grand Canyon is a geological expedition route. UN experts call it "the model scenic spot of the world geological park". It has Danxia landforms, natural beauty, waterfalls, barrier lakes, and mountain cracks. You can breathe in oxygen and experience the magic of nature.
The canyon of this scenic spot is densely forested, with fresh air, negative oxygen ion content of more than 10,000 per cubic centimeter, and PM2.5 value below 5 all year round, making it a natural oxygen bar. Due to the natural landscape, there are mountains, valleys, canyons, water, forests, and strange stone walls. I have visited this scenic spot many times, doing aerobic exercise on foot, and entering the valley to enjoy the pure and fresh air of nature, which doubles my spirit. Although I have been there many times, I will bring my family and friends to go again in the future.
