[2025 Yongtai Attraction] Travel Guide for Qingyun Mountain (Updated May)

| Tried and tested, it's amazing! Who says Fuzhou only has Sanfang Qixiang and Gushan Mountain? This time, we'll unlock niche routes only locals know about. Fewer crowds, beautiful scenery, budget-friendly, and every photo you take is Instagram-worthy 📸! 🌿 Reverse Tour Essence | Off-the-Beaten-Track Destinations 1️⃣ Baima Canyon (Qingyun Mountain, Yongtai): Flat hiking trail, crystal-clear streams, perfect for kids to play in the water without tiring parents out. You can even catch small fish and skip stones. 2️⃣ Difengjiang Park (Direct access via Subway Line 5): Free sunset viewing spot by the river. In the evening, the shimmering Min River resembles a spilled palette of colors 🌅, and the surrounding old houses have a built-in retro filter. 3️⃣ Qinglong Waterfall (Adjacent to Baima Canyon): A breathtaking 100-meter waterfall. Bamboo rafting, stream trekking, and picnics are highly recommended for families with children. 4️⃣ Luozhou Ancient Town (Near Difengjiang Park): A low-key complex of Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture with almost no tourists. Wearing Hanfu here makes for amazing photos. 🚶♀️ 2-Day, 1-Night Itinerary | Relaxed Pace, No Rushing Day 1: Canyon Fun + Sunset Healing ⏰ 10:00 Drive or carpool directly to Baima Canyon. Rent a fishing net at the entrance (10 yuan), and stroll along the gentle stream. Wading in the shallows is super refreshing. ⏰ 12:30 Have a streamside picnic in the barbecue area (bring your own food). Enjoying a sandwich while listening to the sound of flowing water is much better than any trendy restaurant 🥪. ⏰ 15:00 Head to Qinglong Waterfall and explore the bamboo plank road, reminiscent of a scene from "The Wizard of Oz." The mist from the waterfall at the top has a natural cooling effect 💦. ⏰ 17:30 Drive 40 minutes to Difengjiang Park and wait for an orange-hued sunset. Remember to bring a telephoto lens for silhouette shots! Day 2: Ancient Town Stroll + Local Delicacies ⏰ 9:00 Wake up naturally and visit the former residence of Chen Baochen in Luozhou Ancient Town. The cobblestone paths and mottled brick walls will transport you back in time 📜. ⏰ 11:30 Find a small, nameless eatery in the alleyways and order a bowl of Guo Bian Hu (5 yuan) with a Hai Li Bing (oyster pancake). Grandma makes them fresh and piping hot. ⏰ 14:00 Learn to make Ai Cao Ci Ba (mugwort rice cakes) at a villager's home (20 yuan experience fee). After steaming, dip them in crushed peanuts—a delight for mochi lovers 🍡. 🎒 Essential Gear | You'll Regret Leaving Any of These Behind • Waterproof backpack: A must-have for playing in the canyon. Keep your phone and documents safe from water damage. • Water shoes + quick-drying pants: The rocks in the stream are slippery, so regular slippers are a no-go 🙅♀️! • Mini mosquito repellent patches: Stick them on your collar—more convenient than sprays, especially with all the bugs in the grass. • Folding seat cushion: The ground at Difengjiang Park can be damp, so bring a cushion to avoid getting wet. ⚠️ Cautionary Advice | Lessons Learned the Hard Way ❗️ Cell phone signal is weak in Baima Canyon. Download offline maps in advance and agree on a meeting point with your family. ❗️ There are no shops at Difengjiang Park. Bring enough water and snacks, but be sure to take your trash with you (the villagers are very clean). ❗️ There's a weight limit for the bamboo rafts at Qinglong Waterfall. People over 200 jin (approx. 220 lbs) need to ride separately. Don't ask me how I know 😭. ❗️ Some old houses in Luozhou Ancient Town are not open to the public. Ask politely before taking photos to avoid disturbing the residents. 🍜 Hidden Culinary Gems | Don't Miss These ✅ Yongtai Scallion Pancakes: Baked over charcoal, incredibly crispy, and a steal at 5 yuan for 3. ✅ Stewed Chicken with Qinghong Wine: A hidden gem on farmhouse menus. The wine infuses the chicken, and you'll want to drink every last drop of the soup. ✅ Guo Bian Hu + Hai Li Bing: The breakfast power couple in Luozhou Ancient Town. Fill up for just 10 yuan per person. ✅ Iced Olive Juice: Sold in glass bottles at roadside stalls. Refreshing and thirst-quenching, and 100 times healthier than milk tea! No queues, no expensive entrance fees, just mountain breezes, flowing water, and a slower pace of life. If you're tired of the crowds, follow this guide—after all, the meaning of travel lies in discovering those overlooked corners ✨.

Yongtai Qingyun Mountain Waterfall, where there are no bustling crowds, only the quiet mountains and forests and the ethereal sound of waterfalls. A poetic and mysterious place, with lush vegetation, strange rocks, and waterfalls complementing each other to form a unique beauty. This place is so sparsely populated that it seems like a corner forgotten by time. 📍Address: Linglu Township, Yongtai County, Fuzhou City 🚘Self-driving: Navigate to Qingyun Mountain Parking Lot 🅿️Parking: Free 🎫Tickets: CNY 35 🕰️Opening hours: 8:30 am–4 pm 🌈Travel tips 1️⃣ Enter the scenic area and you will be surrounded by tall fir trees, creating a misty forest atmosphere. There are also Cyathea spinulosa, Taxus chinensis, and Liomi stone. The only sound in the quiet scenic area is the gurgling stream. 2️⃣ Climb up the steps to see a total of 9 waterfalls. The waterfalls are not very wide, so the water flow does not seem very large from a distance, but it is okay to feel it up close. 3️⃣ Pass the Bead Curtain Waterfall. When walking through the Water Curtain Corridor, the road is wet and slippery, so walk slowly. The back of your head and back will get wet, which is very exciting. 4️⃣ Walk to the open pavilion at the top, where the left side is marked as downhill and the right side is marked as uphill. You can actually go around a small circle and come back down. There are two more waterfalls above, and then you will return to the left side and walk down. 5️⃣ This scenic area is mainly for viewing waterfalls and many large rocks with gaps. The scenery is okay, and there are very few people. ⚠️Tips 1. It takes about 1 hour from the ticket office to the waterfall. Be sure to take a bamboo raft, which costs CNY 8 per person. 2. There is a small shop at the entrance, but no supply points along the way. Bring your own water and food. 3. This is a leisure route, with a short distance, belonging to the scenic area, and a high safety factor. 4. There is a hot spring and Qingyun Mountain Cloud Eye Suspension Corridor within 5 minutes, which is very suitable for a weekend leisure two-day tour. 5. Leave no trace in the mountains and fields, and remember to take your trash with you.

Want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city on the weekend and find a good place to relax? Today, I want to recommend an excellent spot for a short trip around Fuzhou—Yongtai Qingyun Mountain! ⛰ Qingyun Mountain is very friendly to those who don't exercise often. There aren't many stairs, mostly flat paths, so it's not particularly tiring to walk. It's very natural here, with many small waterfalls. It's even the mountain with the most waterfalls I've ever seen. If you're lucky, you might even see a rainbow! 🧗‍♂ We walked leisurely, listening to the cicadas, watching little spiders weave their webs. The experience was fantastic! If you walk quickly, you can finish the tour in about an hour. If you take your time, it takes about 2 hours. 🎫 The ticket price is around 30 yuan, with discounts for students! 🫐 Besides hiking, there's also a blueberry picking experience here. The blueberries you pick yourself are sweet and delicious, and they're pesticide-free, so you can eat them directly. Super fresh! 📍 If you want to try blueberry picking, you can find a blueberry garden a bit further up from Yongtai Yunding. Picking a pound yourself costs about 35 yuan, offering a fresh experience from branch to tongue! 🌟 Whether as a snack or added to salads or yogurt, blueberries can add a touch of health and deliciousness to your food. 📸 This is also a great place for photography. Whether it's the natural scenery or happy moments with family and friends, you can leave beautiful memories here.

It's a great place for family and couples to visit on weekends, and it's suggested to come after the rain when the water is abundant for the most spectacular view. If time allows, you can visit multiple scenic spots in one go. 🧩Entering along the main gate, there is only one road, you can walk around the mountain and be surrounded by streams and waterfalls all the way, very cool～
