Spent the weekend running around a mountain temple in Zhangzhou. 1,500 stairs up the side of the mountain is this temple that, surprisingly, wasn’t too busy despite the holiday. It may not have been perfect conditions for a clear view of the ling tong temple - or the mountain it’s on - but the rolling mist was perfect for moody shots. Next time, will hope for slightly less mist to be able to get the drone up though. #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure

Getting There - rental car, we came from Xiamen which took about 3h Attractions - temple & nature Food & Restaurants - few convenience stores close to the temple, besides that better bring your own stuff Difficulty - hike around 3-4h, challenging if not prepared but great way through the forest #bucketlistreboot #nature #china #temples

Lingtong mountain, also known as Dafeng mountain, is located in the southwest of Pinghe County, Zhangzhou city. Because of its long history and vicissitudes, the name of the mountain has changed. At first, it was called Dafeng mountain, which was also called Dapeng mountain because of the frequent roosting of Dapeng birds. At that time, the mountain was full of maple trees, and the forests were dyed in autumn, so it was also called Dafeng mountain. With the decrease of maple trees, it was only seen that the mountain rose into the clouds, and it was recorded in the history books as Dafeng mountain. Until Huang Daozhou, the great scholar of Ming Dynasty, wrote the four words "lingyinggantong" for Dafeng rock, people began to call it Dafeng rock As lingtongyan, Dafeng mountain is also called lingtongshan. Lingtong mountain, known as "the first mountain in South Fujian"#summervacation

Entrance: Lingtong Mountain Scenic Area Admission: 20 Parking Fee: 10 The internet-famous 'Hanging Temple' - Lingtong Temple is located halfway up the mountain, and it's easy to find following the signs. This temple is very popular for those seeking blessings. To reach the summit of Lingtong Mountain, you need to know about its highest peak - Qingtian Peak (1287.4 meters). You'll need to find the sign 'Tongtiantai' first, and follow the arrows to find the entrance to climb Qingtian Peak. The climb to Qingtian Peak is quite steep, but not difficult, as there are ladders available for the dangerous sections, and there are steps all the way. However, do not climb when it's raining. First-time visitors can follow two routes to track their journey, search for 'Lingtong Mountain Summit (less than 10km)' or 'Lingtong Mountain Circuit (just over 10km)' to enjoy the view from the top on foot.

We drove from Xiamen, and the journey takes about 2 hours The parking spot is located halfway up the mountain. It takes about an hour to walk to the temple, about more than a thousand meters. The journey is not long but it is all uphill and stairs Charges: Parking🅿️: 10 yuan/car (unlimited time) Ticket🎫: 20 yuan/person Buy tickets first, and continue to drive up to the parking lot after buying the tickets Food: It is recommended to eat in the village near the foot of the mountain before climbing. If you want to eat on the mountain, you can bring instant noodles or dry food. There is free hot water on the mountain (don't bring too much, just replenish energy) Be sure to prepare water during the climbing process, don't carry too much, one bottle is enough, there is natural spring water on the roadside for drinking ⚠️Try to wear hiking shoes or running shoes, the steps are slippery, remember to take sun protection measures in summer, if necessary in summer, you can bring mosquito repellent spray, the mosquitoes on the mountain are very poisonous Incense: You can buy it at the foot of the mountain and bring it up. There are also many sold along the way into the scenic area, and there are also sold in the shops on the top of the mountain, But sometimes there are too many people and there is not enough incense to sell, and the choices provided are relatively few PS: You can prepare some coins in addition, there are many small stone holes on the wall next to the temple where you can make a wish by throwing coins. Each hole has a different meaning, and you can choose what you want to ask for (if you really don’t bring it, you can exchange it at the nearby store)
