Summer at Beichen Mountain: A Refreshing Encounter with Nature

✨The weekend cleared up, so I immediately launched my city escape plan! This time I visited Beichen Mountain—a hidden gem in Tong'an District. Who knew a fairy-tale green oasis🌿 was just a 1-hour drive from downtown Xiamen! 📍Attraction Info • Address: Wuxian Town, Tong'an District, Xiamen • Ticket: ¥30 (super cost-effective!) • Transport: Take Bus 602 directly or drive to "Beichen Mountain New Gate" • Recommended route: Statue of Min King → Sightseeing car (¥5) → Twelve Dragon Pool Waterfall → Stream Trekking Trail → Longtan Reservoir 🌊Must-Do Experiences 1️⃣ Twelve Dragon Pool Waterfall: Cascading emerald waterfalls resemble a jade necklace. Standing on the viewing platform, you'll feel the refreshing spray—no filter needed for photos! 2️⃣ Stream Trekking: Take off your shoes and wade through crystal-clear water with fish swimming around your feet. Bring a net to catch shrimp (simple nets sold onsite). 3️⃣ Natural Oxygen Bar: Towering ancient trees line the path, filling the air with fresh greenery. The temperature here is 5°C cooler than downtown. 💡Practical Tips • Wear anti-slip sandals! You'll need to step on large rocks in the stream later. • Bring snacks and drinks—only small shops available on the mountain. • Pack a change of clothes (you'll likely get wet while playing in water). • Last entry at 4 PM—go early to avoid crowds. 🚗Nearby Attractions ▫️Tong'an Film Studio: 15-min drive, feels like the Forbidden City ▫️Fantan Temple: A millennia-old Buddhist temple with thriving incense culture ▫️Recommended stay: Jinjiang Inn Select (Jimei School Village Branch)—convenient location with clean rooms I was truly amazed! Never expected such a secluded paradise near Xiamen—the mountain spring water chilled me to the core, and every photo looks straight out of "Little Forest." Already planning my next visit!💦
