铁甲小宝爱旅游:“The ticket price for Jiulong Valley is moderate, about 50 yuan. The scenic area has steep mountains and beautiful scenery, especially the winding hiking trail, which is very challenging. The observation deck on the top of the mountain has a wide view and can overlook the entire valley, which is very shocking. Overall, it is a good place for tourists who like adventure and natural scenery.”

行走毛毛:“There is a temple that you must check in when you come to Putian, that is the free Nanshan Guanghua Temple, after all, it is one of the four famous temples in Fujian 🚉 Transportation strategy: 1. Bicycle: Putian's yellow shared bicycles are really convenient, the first hour is free, and there is also a free parking spot at Guanghua Temple. Although you have to climb a small uphill, it is not tiring to ride. 2. Bus: Putian's buses can be regarded as the most expensive buses in the country. You can walk to Nanhu Park 🌟 Highlights: 1. Watch the tower: The Sakyamuni Pagoda is a national treasure among the national treasures in the temple. After walking around the tower for a few weeks, we can see the vivid Miaoyin birds on the tower, as well as stone carvings. Of course, if you lower your head, you can also find different surprises. 2. Watch the fish: There is a red wooden fish with a dragon head and a fish tail in the corner of the temple. It is said to be the original object of the Qing Dynasty. 3. Watch the stone: There are two stone towers in the temple, namely the Sunlight Bodhisattva and the Moonlight Bodhisattva. 4. See the Buddha: Although some of the Buddha statues in the temple are built, the Mahavira Hall and the Guanyin Hall are worth checking in. 5. See the trees: As an ancient temple built in the Southern Dynasty with a history of more than 1,500 years, every tree here is spiritual. 📝Note tips: 1. It is recommended that you choose to visit here in the early morning. If you are lucky, you can also see the morning mist. 2. Although the temple has to climb some small hills, the scenery on the mountain is not bad. It is not high. You can walk up and take a look at the Guanyin Hall and other halls. 3. There is also a temple called Nanshan Chongfu Temple next to the scenic spot. It is relatively quiet. You can check in together, and there are paid vegetarian meals”

山在穷游:“Before coming to Putian, I had not planned to visit Mulanbi, but after arriving, the local B&B owner strongly recommended that I go there to have a look, because it is known as the water conservancy system of Fujian. Although I don't understand it, I found that the environment is really good after coming here. If there is better weather, I might be able to sit here for half a day.”
