It's definitely worth seeing. The flight takes about an hour and a half, but you need to choose a good day with light winds and good visibility, otherwise you might not be able to see anything. It's best to bring binoculars.
Excellent! Xiamen is incredibly beautiful. You absolutely must go up Sunlight Rock; the view from the top is truly unique. You can see the entire Gulangyu Island. I had an absolutely fantastic time, and the weather has been great these past few days.

Good botanical garden visit early to have a leisurely walk around the park
The plant species are abundant, such as the royal palm trees (also known as the missile group) in the palm plant area, the Norfolk Island pine forest area, the cactus series as tall as a person in the succulent plant area, which is very beautiful and impressive. There are also seasonal bougainvillea of various colors on display, unique tropical rainforest plants, the lush banana series, and the tall lemon eucalyptus trees without bark and with white trunks that are particularly eye-catching, reminiscent of hairless cats.

Xiamen is truly a beautiful city, and taking the cable car to see the scenery is a great option 😊 Buying tickets is very convenient; even if you book online, you still need to pick up a paper ticket on-site. Each car can seat two people, so if you're traveling alone, you'll have to share a seat 😄 or you can buy two tickets and have the car to yourself!
The scenery from the cable car is absolutely stunning, but you should definitely go around 5 pm, otherwise it gets quite hot. Remember to bring mosquito repellent, as there will be small insects. Highly recommended if it's your first time visiting Xiamen.

The charm of Wuyishan lies in its natural scenery and cultural heritage, allowing visitors to experience the ultimate beauty of nature and the essence of human culture. The Nine-Bend Stream is the soul of Wuyishan, stretching 9.5 kilometers and winding through the Danxia landform. A bamboo raft ride offers views of "winding mountains and embracing flowing water," passing 36 peaks and 99 rocks along the way, including Jade Maiden Peak and King Peak. The stream is crystal clear, reflecting the unique peaks on both banks; Zhu Xi once inscribed "Emerald Waters and Crimson Mountains" here. Tianyou Peak, at 408 meters above sea level, is the premier scenic spot in Wuyishan. Climbing to the top offers a panoramic view of the Nine-Bend Stream, and at sunrise and amidst the sea of clouds, it feels like a celestial paradise. The Dahongpao Scenic Area boasts six 350-year-old mother trees of Dahongpao, the king of rock tea. Along the way, visitors can see the Jiulongke Gorge, Yongle Temple, and cliff carvings. The tea culture experience center allows visitors to appreciate the unique "rocky essence and floral fragrance" of Wuyi rock tea.
As the most anticipated activity of the Wuyishan trip, it unfortunately rained the entire time, and the rain didn't stop... Despite this, the overall experience was still okay; it would have been perfect if the weather had been better. Leaving a little regret gives you a reason to come back next time, right?

I went during a time when it wasn't peak season, and the scenery was still quite nice. The Tulou (earthen buildings) have a strong sense of history, and there are quite a few of them, although there were far fewer than during peak season. It was mostly tour groups there. It's still worth visiting if you have some free time.
Yunshuiyao Ancient Town, named after the movie "Yunshuiyao", is located in the central part of Changjiao Town, Nanjing. It consists of Heguilou and Huaiyuanlou to the north and south, respectively. The scenery here is beautiful, with babbling brooks, ancient streets and old trees, and winding stone roads. Strolling through the ancient town, you can appreciate the scenery of the Tulou and ancient village and feel the distant past.

Hulishan Fort, located on Hulishan Mountain in the southern part of Xiamen Island in Fujian Province, my country, is a historic military facility. Built during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, it served as a crucial component of China's modern coastal defense. Numerous ancient artillery pieces are on display here, each bearing a rich historical story and bearing witness to Xiamen Island's turbulent history.
The ticket price is 25 yuan per person, which is very cost-effective. I arrived around 10 o'clock in the morning just in time to watch the show. After watching the show, I walked around. The scenic area is very clean and comfortable, and there is a different world inside.

The scenery was stunning; the golden rice paddies, layered upon layer, were especially beautiful against the backdrop of distant mountains and mist. It was just a pity that the light was weak due to the overcast and rainy weather. Tomorrow, I can use my ticket to enter the fields again and take some amazing photos.
Very satisfied. The terraced fields are beautiful this season. We arrived at the scenic area at 9:40 am and took the shuttle bus to Jiuqu Yunhe. There are three viewing platforms. You can walk into the terraced fields. Then we took Line 2 to Baiyin Valley. We climbed all the way from Kenggen Shizhai to the top of the mountain, and then returned to the foot of the mountain to take Line 2 back to Jiuqu Yunhuan. We then transferred to Line 1 to the visitor service center at the foot of the mountain.

The Bai Zhang Ji Waterfall is breathtaking! The towering waterfall plunges into a deep pool, creating a misty spray that blankets the mountains, and the trails offer a refreshing coolness. On sunny days, you can even see rainbows, and against the backdrop of green mountains, every snapshot is a masterpiece.
Baizhangji truly lives up to its title as "China's tallest waterfall." The three-tiered waterfall is magnificent, the Water Curtain Cave is full of fun, and the ancient pavilions nestled in the mountains exude a tranquil atmosphere, making it a great place to get close to nature.

The scenery at Qingyuan Mountain is quite nice, and the tourist routes are excellent. You can drive to the top of the mountain and park at each attraction. Of course, you can also climb up. It would probably take a whole day to see everything.
A 25-minute bus ride from the West Gate leads directly to Nantai Rock. The journey, including stops for meals and rest, took about four hours. Qingyuan Mountain has been developed since the Qin Dynasty, leaving behind a wealth of cultural relics and historical sites throughout the ages. Currently, there are seven well-preserved large-scale stone sculptures (9 statues) from the Song and Yuan Dynasties, representing Taoism and Buddhism. The most famous is the Laozi statue at Laojun Rock, which is the largest and oldest existing Taoist stone sculpture in China.
