Dehua "Shiniu Mountain"

Dehua "Shiniu Mountain"

Visited Shiniu Mountain in Dehua, which is said to have the second longest cable car in Asia, with a total length of 40 minutes. You can drive directly to the parking lot of Shiniu Mountain Scenic Area and take the cable car up! 🎫 A pass is CNY 280 per person, CNY 225 for those born in the Year of the Ox You don't have to go back the way you came~ After taking the cable car to the top of the mountain, you need to climb for more than an hour to reach the top. There is a big golden ox on the top of the mountain where you can take photos, as well as a small temple where locals worship. There is also a farmhouse restaurant, and the food there~witnessed the birth of an old employee~(A table of eight or nine people next to us ordered a braised pork, which was about CNY 90, a large plate, and finally the meat was too fatty to finish, and the waiter took away the remaining large fatty meat, and I saw him pour the remaining meat from the table next to us back into the pot. When we first entered, we also wanted to order braised pork, but it looked too fatty, so we didn't order it. Fortunately, we didn't order it😦 Next time we go to this kind of place, we should eat instant noodles. By the way, a bowl of instant noodles on the mountain is CNY 20) 🚡 You can take the cable car down the mountain to reach the glass walkway and waterfall For locals, it's just going from one mountain to another.

Jiuxian Mountain, Dehua: A Must-Visit Secret Mountain Retreat in Southern Fujian

Jiuxian Mountain, Dehua: A Must-Visit Secret Mountain Retreat in Southern Fujian

Recently, I went to Jiuxian Mountain in Dehua with my friends. We were lucky enough to see the mountain covered in rime ice, a rare sight in the snowless south. The natural scenery was stunning. Although we didn't get to see the sunrise due to the heavy fog, the rime ice and sea of clouds were breathtaking enough. Jiuxian Mountain is located in Ming'ai Village, Chishui Town, Dehua County, Quanzhou, the "Porcelain Capital of the World." The main peak is 1,658 meters above sea level and is known as the "First Mountain of the Central Plains." The mountain combines magnificent natural scenery with rich cultural heritage. The "sunrise, sea of clouds, and rime ice" are the three most famous attractions. There are also historical sites such as the Tang Dynasty stone carving of Maitreya Buddha and Lingjiu Rock Temple, which add to the mysterious charm of the area. ⏰[Opening Hours] The scenic area is open from 5:00 am to 6:00 pm in summer and from 5:30 am to 5:30 pm in winter. Tickets are sold from 5:30 am to 4:30 pm in winter. Shuttle buses: During the rime ice season (December to February), buses depart according to the number of passengers. On weekdays, the first bus departs at 7:30 am and the last bus departs at 5:30 pm. If you choose to hike up the mountain, it will take about 3.5 to 4 hours. 💳[Ticket Prices] Adult ticket: CNY 75 (including shuttle bus fare). Half-price ticket: CNY 47.5 (for students, teachers, and seniors aged 60 to 65). Child ticket: CNY 37.5 (for children 1.2 to 1.5 meters tall). In addition, military personnel, people with disabilities, seniors over 70, and firefighters can enjoy free admission with valid ID. 🚶‍♀️[Highlights] 1. Weather and Scenery Sunrise: The observatory at the weather station offers a great view. When the morning light shines on the sea of clouds, the golden light reflects off the forest, creating a beautiful picture. To catch this beautiful sight, make sure to catch the earliest shuttle bus up the mountain, which usually takes about 20 minutes. Rime ice: In winter, when the temperature drops, the water vapor in the mountains condenses into beautiful rime ice. The best time to see it is from December to February. Be sure to check the weather forecast in advance to see if the conditions are right for rime ice to form (low temperature and high humidity). Sea of clouds: After the rain or in the early morning when the mist is thick, you can often see a vast sea of clouds, as if you are in a dreamlike fairyland. 2. Hiking Route Suggestions Maitreya Hall → Juxiantai → Tianchi (about 3.8 km, 2 to 3 hours): This path passes through the Sky Mirror and Lingjiu Rock. The wooden walkway winds through the pine trees and rocks, creating a vivid picture. There are also small shops along the way where visitors can replenish their energy. In addition, there is a snow park and off-road vehicle project in the mountains, which is perfect for families. For culture lovers, the Tang Dynasty Maitreya Buddha stone carving and Lingjiu Rock Temple are also must-see attractions. 🚗[Transportation Guide] Self-driving: From Quanzhou, take the Quannan Expressway to the Jiuxian Mountain toll station, which takes about 1.5 hours. From Xiamen or Fuzhou, it takes about 2 to 2.5 hours. There is a parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area. Please note that during the rime ice season, you must take the shuttle bus provided by the scenic area. Private cars are not allowed to drive directly into the mountains. Bus: You can take bus No. 18 from Dehua Station to the scenic area, but there are few buses, so it is recommended to check the schedule in advance to plan your trip. Considering the distance between the city and the scenic area, it is more convenient to drive or rent a car locally. 📅[Recommended Itinerary] 5:30 am: Take the shuttle bus to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise → 9:00 am: Start hiking down the mountain to explore Maitreya Cave and Juxiantai → 12:00 pm: Have lunch at the scenic area restaurant → Afternoon: Experience the snow park or drive an off-road vehicle → 4:00 pm: Return home. If you have more free time, you can also consider going to Shiniu Mountain Scenic Area (about 1.5 hours by car) or visiting Wulin Traditional Village in Jinjiang to experience the unique folk customs of southern Fujian. 🏨[Accommodation Recommendations] If you want to stay near the scenic area, Jiuxian Mountain Hotel is a good choice. For self-driving travelers, returning to the city will provide more accommodation options and allow you to better enjoy the nightlife in Dehua. 🍽️[Food Recommendations] Farmhouse Cuisine - Tea Set City Restaurant: This restaurant offers authentic local dishes, such as braised chicken, handmade stone-ground black tofu, and tea oil pig stomach soup, all of which are worth trying. 🛡️[Preparation] Cold weather gear: The temperature on the mountain in winter can be as low as -8°C, so be sure to bring a down jacket, snow boots, hat, gloves, and a warm baby to keep warm. Hiking gear: A lightweight and practical hiking stick will be a good helper during the hike. Don't forget to bring a thermos filled with hot water and some high-calorie snacks to replenish your energy. Photography tips: Use backlighting to capture the rime ice to better show its layers. In cold weather, choose gloves that are suitable for touch screen operation for convenience. Other tips: If you plan to see the rime ice, be sure to check the weather conditions in the scenic area in advance and get the latest information through the official channels of "Dehua Jiuxian Mountain Resort." I hope this guide will help you plan a pleasant and memorable trip to Jiuxian Mountain! ✨

Shiniushan Solo Hiking Guide/Detailed Explanation of Two Hiking Routes

Shiniushan Solo Hiking Guide/Detailed Explanation of Two Hiking Routes

📍Location: Shiniushan Scenic Area, Shuikou Town, Dehua County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province 🚗Transportation: Only suitable for self-driving/renting a car. About 145 kilometers from downtown Quanzhou, approximately 2.5 hours one way. 👍️Must-visit spots: Heart of the Sky Glass Viewing Platform/Daixian Waterfall 🎟️Ticket Information: Route 1 only to Daixian Waterfall 98/Route 2 Complete Scenic Area including Cableway 270 Detailed Guide (The order of the pictures is consistent with the text): The hiking date is 2024/8/10. Departed from downtown Quanzhou at 6:30 AM, bought tickets and entered the scenic area around 9 AM, choosing Route 2 Complete Scenic Area including Cableway, package 270. The departure time from the scenic area was around 3:30 PM, taking about 6.5 hours. After entering the scenic area, take the second longest cableway in Asia to Shiniu Station (passing by Jinfeng Station without getting off, the one-way operation time of the cableway is about 35 minutes). After arriving at the station, the Shiniushan Geological Museum is right next to it. After a brief visit, take the scenic shuttle bus for about 10 minutes to Taiji Square. Had a delicious fried noodle for 25 yuan nearby, enough for two people, and a portion of dried bamboo shoots for 10 yuan (bargain with the owner). After visiting Shihu Hall and the Great Golden Bull, started the ascent at 12:15 PM. It took about 3 hours and 15 minutes from the entrance of the scenic area to this point, exactly half of the total time. The descent after reaching the top is along a stepped mountain path. Follow the signs to the shuttle bus station to take the bus to Shiniu Station, then take the cableway to Jinfeng Station and get off. Walking down a bit, you will reach the most essential part of the entire scenic area, the Heart of the Sky Glass Viewing Platform, where you can lie on the glass and overlook Daixian Waterfall, which is very impressive. Both Route 1 and Route 2 can reach the Heart of the Sky Viewing Platform. This is also the dividing point between the 270 and 98 tickets. The extra 172 yuan covers the content before the Heart of the Sky in the guide. Personally, I think it's worth it if you want a complete experience and have enough time, otherwise, the 98 ticket allows you to experience the essence of the scenic area, the Heart of the Sky and Daixian Waterfall. I started walking down from the Heart of the Sky at 2 PM. At this point, I was physically exhausted and my legs were shaking with pain. It took 1.5 hours, meaning the total time for Route 1 is within 3 hours. On the way down, you can see Daixian Waterfall. Getting close, there is mist, and then it's downhill all the way with no particularly special feelings. 💗Other tips: 1. Parking fee is 10 yuan, park anywhere. Charging pile is 1 yuan per kWh, but it only charged less than one kWh in half an hour and then stopped. 2. The intensity of Route 1 for three hours is just right, the price is reasonable, and you can see the Heart of the Sky Viewing Platform. After walking Route 2, my calves, thighs, and waist hurt for the next three days, with about 20,000 steps in total. 3. The cableway is the second longest in Asia, only shorter than the Xifeng Cableway of Huashan. It's worth experiencing, though the long operation time might cause visual fatigue. The scenery at the top is similar to the top of Tianshan Grand Canyon visited a month ago, with clouds and mist and cliff walkways reminiscent of Sanqing Mountain. The various caves, moss, and narrow sky views in the mountain are not inferior to famous mountains. Daixian Waterfall is stronger than Dalongqiu in Yandang Mountain, Zhejiang, and with the Heart of the Sky Viewing Platform, it is unrivaled in its category. 4. Speaking of drawbacks, there are no other transportation options besides self-driving. The total price of the package is relatively high for a 4A scenic area. There's a saying, 'If you have money, go to Shiniushan; if you don't, go to Jiuxianshan.' The physical exertion is significant, so choose Route 2 cautiously.
