Look back after seeing the temple, and you will see the words "Turning back is the shore," which is quite interesting. ✅Yipian Zen Temple: A suspended copper temple, a magical temple built in the crevice of rocks, under the cliffs, very spectacular ✅Narrow Path between Cliffs: There are three narrow paths between cliffs in total, varying in length, a very narrow path squeezed between rocks, really limited in width, my slightly overweight dad had to squeeze through, not recommended for overweight people haha ✅Jiuli Lake: The lake is green, reflecting Jiuli Mountain⛰, with a thin mist, feels like a fairyland. - 🍓Fujian specialty recommendations: 1. Fuding old white tea 2. Fuding beef balls 3. Braised chicken wings ⚠️tips: ①It is recommended to climb the mountain in the morning, the side of Tongtian Cave and Hulu Cave is really crowded, hard to squeeze in ②Do not climb on rainy days, the scenery is better on sunny days, with a wide view, you can overlook the East Sea ③Do not carry a large backpack, it is difficult to get through the Narrow Path between Cliffs with a big bag ④Pay attention to sun protection, almost the entire journey is outdoors without cover ⑤You can rest at Baiyun Temple, the temple sometimes offers free meals, you can eat in the side courtyard after worship (boiled sweet potato vermicelli and soup rice noodles), be mindful not to waste and keep quiet😑 ⑥Leave no trace hiking, protect the environment, do not leave trash
