[2025 Yong'an Attraction] Travel Guide for Tao Yuan Cave (Updated Apr)

We visited Yong’an and were amazed by its stunning karst landscapes, lush forests, and historic charm. Whether you love capturing breathtaking nature, ancient architecture, or peaceful countryside views, this city has so much to offer. Here are three must-visit spots we explored and highly recommend! Taoyuan Cave Scenic Area ⛰️ We explored the mesmerizing Taoyuan Cave Scenic Area, a breathtaking karst landscape filled with dramatic rock formations, crystal-clear streams, and hidden caves. Walking through the cave, we were surrounded by towering stalactites and stalagmites that looked like they belonged in a fantasy world. The best time to visit is in the morning when the sunlight filters through the cave entrance, creating a golden glow. I would recommend bringing a flashlight for exploring the darker sections and a tripod for stable shots in low-light conditions. 📍 Address: Taoyuan Cave Scenic Area, Yong’an City, Sanming, Fujian, China Shiniu Mountain National Forest Park 🌳 We hiked through Shiniu Mountain National Forest Park, a paradise of lush greenery, waterfalls, and towering rock pillars. The most breathtaking moment was at sunrise when the mist rolled over the forest, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The fresh mountain air and peaceful surroundings made it a perfect escape from city life. I would recommend visiting early in the morning for the best lighting and a serene experience. 📍 Address: Shiniu Mountain National Forest Park, Yong’an City, Sanming, Fujian, China Xiahuang Ancient Village 🏡 We wandered through Xiahuang Ancient Village, a beautifully preserved historic village where time seems to have stood still. The narrow stone alleys, wooden houses, and red lanterns hanging from the eaves made every corner picture-perfect. Sunset is the best time to visit, as the golden light enhances the charm of the village and its surrounding rice fields. I would recommend taking your time to explore the hidden courtyards and chatting with the friendly locals to learn about their way of life. 📍 Address: Xiahuang Ancient Village, Yong’an City, Sanming, Fujian, China Yong’an is a hidden treasure filled with natural wonders, rich history, and breathtaking scenery. Whether you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or the perfect shot, these locations will leave you with unforgettable memories. Happy exploring! 📷✨ #discoverchina #Vacation #travel

When you come to Yong'an, you must be heading for the Taoyuan Cave Scenic Area, which is 10 kilometers north of Yong'an City. The scenic spot has a long history. As early as the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573), it was opened as a tourist area with more than 10 pavilions and towers built. Taoyuan Cave is not a cave, but a mountain canyon. There is a peach blossom stream inside. In ancient times, there were hundreds of acres of peach trees, mountain streams and springs, as well as drifting peach blossoms on both sides of the bank, reflecting the beautiful scenery of red. Therefore, it was named "Taoyuan Cave". But it is no longer seen now. The most famous feature of the scenic spot is the "One Line Sky" which is 68 meters high and 127 meters long. The narrowest part is 0.4 meters, through which only one person can pass sideways. This is one of the wonders praised in Xu Xiake's travel notes and has been certified by the Guinness World Records. Visitors can also enjoy more than ten cultural attractions such as Suodong Bridge, Guanyin Bodhisattva Hall, Tongtian Pavilion, etc. When the Ming Dynasty rebel army was stationed there, they dug an ancient well on the rock. It still has spring water today, which is a miracle. Jishan Village, about 5 kilometers away from the city, was built in the 13th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1500). During the Anti-Japanese War, the Fujian Provincial Government moved to Yong'an, which lasted for seven and a half years. Nearly 40 provincial administrative agencies were located in Jishan. Jishan Earth Fort is a typical earth fort building in the Qing Dynasty. The plan layout of the earth fort is in the shape of a "目" character and it has a civil structure. The wall of the earthen fort is 2.1 meters thick and about 8 meters high. There is a corridor 1.26 meters wide on the top that goes around the fort, keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer. The floating bridge in the creek is also very unique. It is made up of several small wooden boats connected in series to facilitate villagers to travel between the two banks. 20 kilometers away from the urban area is the famous Gongchuan Ancient Town, where traces of human activities were found as early as the Early Paleolithic Period. It is said to be one of the top ten ancient towns in Fujian Province. Arriving at the ancient town is surprising. Such an ancient town with a thousand-year history has been renovated into a stereotyped pattern in the so-called new rural construction. The developers are truly sinners for all time. Some historical sites that have escaped the net are now protected, such as the ancient city wall, Huiqing Bridge, Zhengshun Temple, Linshui Palace, and Sunbang Gong Inn. The construction date of Huiqing Bridge is unknown, but it can be traced back to 1485 AD. It has two piers and three arches. The bridge is 41 meters long, 7 meters wide, and 8.1 meters high. The bridge body is built with Danxia stone into an arch shape, and the maximum span of a single arch is 13 meters. There are 11 wooden corridors on the bridge deck, consisting of 56 wooden pillars. It is also called the "Wind and Rain Bridge" because it can shelter from wind and rain. Sanming is a heavy industrial city in Fujian. We will choose Sanming for accommodation as we want to see the changes in this industrial city. After arriving, take advantage of your free time to visit Qilin Mountain Park. Qilin Mountain Park is located next to Liedong Bridge in Sanming. It was originally named Niulong Mountain and has an altitude of 262 meters. Qilin Pavilion is built at the highest point of the mountain. It is 24.5 meters high, 12 meters wide, octagonal and has six floors. It is made of reinforced concrete. You can take in the scenery from both near and far when you climb up the pavilion. Next to the Qilin Pavilion, a Qilin sculpture stands with its head held high, looking very majestic. Sangang was founded in 1958 and is currently the largest steel production base and fertilizer production base in Fujian Province. The factory also specially renovated the existing old buildings and industrial relics to create an ecological leisure attraction with unique industrial characteristics. An Industrial Memory Museum has been established to allow people to frequently view the struggles of the older generation of entrepreneurs. Only by remembering history can there be a future. It’s a pity that the exhibition hall opened too late and I didn’t have time to visit it. Along the way, I saw that the factory was full of vitality and the development momentum was still good.

In the picturesque scroll of refreshing Fujian, besides famous attractions like Wuyi Mountain and Guanzhishan, there lies a hidden gem unknown to many—Peach Blossom Cave. Here, the marvels of nature's craftsmanship blend perfectly with historical culture. I have followed in the footsteps of the traveler Xu Xiake, visiting this mysterious place twice. Each time I step into this Peach Blossom wonderland, I can feel its unique charm. Exploration Highlights: A Spectacular Sight The 'One Line Sky' here is said to be the best in the country, narrow and profound, with the narrowest part being only 40 centimeters wide. I carefully sidled through, marveling at the wonder and magnificence of nature. Xu Xiake also praised it, saying: 'Among the One Line Skies I have seen, including those in Wuyi, Huangshan, and Fugai, none are as grand and pressing, or as distant and orderly as this one.' The Beauty of Shaxi Standing on the mountaintop viewing platform, the beauty of Shaxi and the Beting Mountain unfolds before your eyes. The clear stream winds in serpentine fashion, with lush vegetation on both banks, as if you are in a beautiful landscape painting. The Danxia Cliffs Upon entering the scenic area, the steep Danxia cliffs come into view. The words 'Peach Blossom Cave Entrance' are carved into the cliff, transporting you to the 'Peach Blossom Spring' described by the poet Tao Yuanming. Travel Tips: The ticket price is 60 yuan (half-price discount for students), and it is recommended to book in advance on group purchase platforms to enjoy a discounted price of 53 yuan. Please note that reservations must be made at least 6 hours in advance. It is recommended to reserve 3-4 hours for the visit, and there are multiple routes up the mountain to choose from. Here, you can fully enjoy the fresh air and tranquil atmosphere of nature. After your visit, consider heading to the city to taste Yong'an's special snacks. Delicacies like guotiao and deboned meat are sure to leave you with an unforgettable taste.

Taoyuan Cave is not a cave, but a paradise, with a unique charm. Taoyuan Cave is a Danxia landform with pleasant scenery and is known as the 'Little Wuyi'. Especially around May 1st, you can see wild lilies blooming quietly on the cliffs, swaying in the wind, which is very charming! Not far from the entrance of the cave, there is a fork. Turn left to Baizhang Rock, turn right through the Lock Cave Bridge and Xu Xiake Square, straight to the main attraction of Taoyuan Cave 'A Line of Sky'. According to 'Xu Xiake's Travel Notes', 'The gap is only a line, split the top of the mountain, far through the north of the mountain, the middle can not accommodate shoulders, chisel it to accept...', 'I have seen a few places of A Line of Sky... I have never seen such a large and close, far and neat one'. Fortunately, bending over and moving forward 'the best in the country', there is surprise without danger~~ Then climb up to the Wanxiang Platform, overlooking the hundred miles of Taoyuan, beautiful! Public transportation: ①The morning high-speed rail arrives at 'Sanming Station' at 8:30, turn right out of the station to 'Sanming South Bus Station' and buy a 'Taoyuan Cave' bus ticket r14 directly. With the ticket, enter the bus station service desk, and the staff will arrange a car to pick you up. ②If you depart from the city, take the (Sanming-Yongan) intercity bus line at 'Liedong Hub Station'. Self-driving, located on the side of the national road, parking is convenient. Scenic area play: 1. Tickets: Online booking r50 (on-site r60) includes Taoyuan Cave and Baizhang Rock Scenic Area. 2. Recommended tour route: ￥Taoyuan Cave (I heard of Taoyuan Cave for the first time, because I thought it was a karst cave. After understanding, I knew that the scenic area was in the middle of the mountain, named after the peach blossom stream in the mountain. As for the 'cave', it is the Taoist saying) Enter the scenic area, look up and see the four big characters 'Taoyuan Cave Entrance' engraved on the cliff tens of meters high. ①Go up the mountain, there are two roads, one is slow and the other is dangerous. If you have good physical strength and a petite figure, choose 'A Line of Sky' for excitement (those who are large in size and have diseases really can't go up). The narrowest place is only 40CM, and the sense of oppression is extremely strong. This is the most dangerous 'A Line of Sky' I have ever climbed. ②When you reach the top, look out from the 'Wangxiang Platform', the green water of Shaxi, the green mountains of Dan Mountain P4, this is also the best place to take pictures and check in, the iconic landscape 'Fengguan Pavilion' P3. ③Go back 20 meters from the Wangxiang Platform, follow the road sign, and then walk the 'Fengguan Pavilion' route, follow the trail around the mountain all the way, the scenery along the way is elegant, you can check in 'Li Gang's Work_Praise Taoyuan Cave (Cliff Stone Carving)' on the way, and then follow the trail down to the foot of the mountain 'Guide Map' location, those with good physical strength and adventurous spirit can continue to challenge the 'Baizhang Rock Route', or end the trip here. Baizhang Rock The whole journey takes about 2.5 hours to go back and forth (pure hiking, occasionally climbing stairs). There are very few tourists who choose to climb Baizhang Rock. So I walked to the scenic area for nearly half an hour, and I didn't see a single person (I picked up a bamboo stick just in case). Fortunately, when I was about to reach Baizhang Rock, I finally saw 3 returning tourists. The hanging heart was let go (I was afraid of getting lost...) Baizhang Rock: ①Climb Baizhang Rock, walk a hundred steps to the sky (there is a 'Ma's Fairy Temple' in the upper part, and there is a fairy spring in the temple for drinking. ②Cross the cliff (from the middle section of the stairs from the top to the Fairy Temple, there is a WC, go around to the bottom of the sky ladder, pass through from the bottom of the sky ladder, pass the WC, you can see a cliff trail that is extremely dangerous) on one side of the cliff, fortunately, all have installed guardrails, the narrowest part of the trail, can only pass sideways, extremely steep. Continue along the trail, you can see navigation signs along the way. ③Jade Platform: Overlooking the entire scenic area, the view is wide, and there is a sense of overlooking all the small mountains. (If you have good physical strength, you can continue to challenge Jade Valley and Jianmenguan) ④Diagonal Sky: It's not long but it's as dangerous as Taoyuan Cave A Line of Sky. After going down the Diagonal Sky, continue down the mountain along the mountain road, and you will circle back to the road you came before. Follow the main road back to 'Taoyuan Cave' and leave the scenic area to complete this trip. Location: Sanming Yongan Taoyuan Cave Scenic Area

The most famous attraction of Peach Garden Cave is a line of sky, a large mountain crack, just like it was split with a knife. The cliff splits, straight through the cliff end. The Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake described this wonder, 'Up to the top of the mountain, far through the north of the mountain, the middle can not accommodate shoulders, it is covered, and the steps are slanted up, straight through it.' Known as the longest line of sky in the country, the huge stones on both sides are tightly pressed, 90 meters high, 120 meters long, a total of 206 steps, the narrowest place is only 40 centimeters.

Taoyuan Cave is so quiet here, looking at the scenery in front of me, I dont want anything, people are pursuing the spiritual thoughts of the world, but every time we are helplessly defeated by reality, we still have to learn to join the WTO and get red dust. . Wonderful show, not far from the sky, the sky is getting darker, it should be raining, now go down the mountain, because The weather is related to time, so there are still many attractions in Taoyuan Cave.

How can I miss the Taoyuan Cave when I come to Yongan? I have been to Yongan once before, and I went to Taoyuan Cave to take a morning fog in the morning, but I didnt enter Taoyuan Cave because of time. Tickets bought online, can be verified directly, you can go straight into the door, you can see the four burly characters in Taoyuan Cave printed on the rock On the winding cliffs, each word is 2 meters high. A peach blossom twists and turns, passing through the narrow valleys of the twin peaks, and the rafts enter the Shaxi, where visitors can row their own boats. Xu Xiake, a great traveler of the Ming Dynasty, also visited this place and kept verses. Climb all kinds of first-line days, if you have to say that you have climbed the longest line of days, its a day in Taoyuan Cave. A crack in a mountain is like a knife. The crack is broken and straight to the end of the cliff. It is 120 meters long and has a total of 206 steps. When I climbed halfway, I panted. What is important is that I also carried a camera bag, two cameras, two lenses, and a drone. Finally climbed up, and sure enough, I didnt climb the sky for a long time. When I saw that the scenery was preparing to fly the drone, the pitted wings forgot to bring it. , cups, when I checked it, I read it again. Ok, I can only take a few shots with SLR.
