Sakura Blossom in Xiamen
Dapingshan Countryside Park (大屏山公园) is located in Haicang District in Xiamen City. Haicang is one of the six districts of Xiamen.
Dapingshan Countryside Park is quite small but really beautiful park. It takes about 15-25 minutes to walk around the park. I like to go there from mid of February to mid of March so you can see Sakura (cherry) Blossom. Everything around turns pink and feels like you’re walking in the fairy tale! It’s a wonderful experience to see Sakura Blossom.

Xiamen's new secret realm! Da Ping Mountain, unlock your urban oasis journey!
🌞In the summer of Xiamen, besides the beaches and waves by the sea, there is a secret place worth exploring—Da Ping Mountain. 🏞️Here, not only is there a wealth of natural scenery, but it is also an excellent place for city dwellers to escape the hustle and bustle.
🚗Driving there, the scenery along the way is enough to make one feel refreshed. Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, looking up, the green mountains stretch and undulate, as if nature has quietly painted an ink painting in the city. 🎨
🚶Ascending the steps, each step is accompanied by fresh air and the singing of birds. The paths in the mountains are winding and twisting, and occasionally you meet a few fellow explorers, exchanging smiles as if everyone has become confidants on this path.
🏞️Reaching the top of the mountain, the view suddenly opens up. Overlooking the entire Xiamen city area, the high-rise buildings are densely packed, while the forests at the foot of the mountain present a different scene. This perfect integration of city and nature makes one marvel at the magic and charm of nature.
🌲Da Ping Mountain not only has beautiful scenery but also rich ecological resources. There are many types of plants on the mountain, many of which are rare species that are seldom seen. Walking in the woods is like being in a natural museum, filling one with awe and curiosity towards nature.
🌆In the evening, sitting on the viewing platform at the top of the mountain, watching the sunset slowly fall, the entire city is dyed golden. At this moment, it seems that all worries have been thrown away, leaving only inner peace and satisfaction.

Xiamen's Grand Screen Mountain: Encounter a romantic interlude between mountains and sea
🌄Whenever Xiamen is mentioned, people always think of the artistic vibe of Gulangyu or the lively atmosphere of Zengcuo'an, but today, I want to take you to a different Xiamen—Grand Screen Mountain. 🏞️Here, you can find a rare urban landscape of mountains and sea, hiding a unique romance.
🚗Driving to Grand Screen Mountain, the scenery along the way is already enough to refresh the spirit. The mountain roads are winding, the trees lush, as if entering a natural oxygen bar. Reaching the summit, overlooking the entire island of Xiamen, that feeling of sudden clarity is truly indescribable. 🌲
🌅In the evening, standing on the observation deck of Grand Screen Mountain, watching the sunset slowly descend, the sea surface dyed golden, at that moment, all fatigue seems to vanish. You would exclaim that this is indeed the beauty of life. 🌇
🏞️Grand Screen Mountain is not just an observation deck; there are also plenty of outdoor activities to participate in. For those who like hiking, you can choose to stroll along the mountain paths and feel the charm of nature; for photography enthusiasts, you should not miss every angle and moment here. 📸
🍲Of course, how can you miss the food when in Xiamen? Coming down from Grand Screen Mountain, why not try a seafood feast in a nearby fishing village? Fresh seafood combined with Xiamen's unique cooking style will definitely leave you with an unforgettable taste. 🦞
🌊Grand Screen Mountain, a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and feel the charm of nature. Here, you can find inner peace as well as the joy of life. 🌴

There's no need to envy Fuzhou❗Xiamen also has its own Rio de Janeiro❗
When it comes to domestic Rio de Janeiro, the first thing that comes to mind is Qida Village in Fuzhou. However, on a lesser-known hill in Xiamen, there is also a Rio de Janeiro-style mountaintop hidden away.
📍: Daping Mountain Country Park
💰: Free of charge
🚗: You can choose to drive or take a taxi to Zhurong Garden
⌚: Arrive an hour before sunset, you can stay until it gets dark
🎞️
Most travel guides recommend going to the most beautiful corner, which is a twenty-minute walk from Zhurong Garden. However, the rock top I discovered is less than five minutes away. You can even drive directly and park nearby. Drive along the main road and pay attention to the right side, where there is a very obvious stairway.
📸
1⃣️: Upon arriving at Zhurong Garden, you can see a viewing platform. It faces the Haicang Bridge and Xiamen's tallest building. Don't miss this spot, the sunset and night view are incredibly beautiful (p3 4 5 6).
2⃣️: Upon reaching the big rock, you can sit and play there, take photos, and enjoy the scenery. You can bring a camping light and take photos when the sky is blue after sunset, it's very beautiful (p1 2 7 8 9 10).
3⃣️: If you arrive early, you can walk a bit further to check in at the most beautiful corner, which is about a 20-minute walk. I arrived late, so I'll have to come next time, which is a bit regrettable.
⚠️
Pay attention to the tide, do not choose to go there when the tide is out.
Remember to bring mosquito repellent as there are many mosquitoes on the mountain.
Remember to bring some lighting, as it can get a bit dark on the mountain.
It may be difficult to hail a taxi when descending the mountain, so you may have to walk down.
There are no supplies on the mountain, remember to bring water and food.

The Cherry Blossom Garden Ignored by 99% of Xiamen Residents! (Live on March 23)
Hello everyone, I am the playful Huanhuan
This strategy is simple, you can finish reading it in 1 minute
On March 23, the cherry blossoms in the Cherry Blossom Valley of Da Ping Mountain Suburban Park in Haicang District, Xiamen, were in full bloom.
Da Ping Mountain Suburban Park can be reached by setting your destination to 'Da Ping Mountain Park Parking Lot', and you can see a large area of cherry blossoms as soon as you arrive at the parking lot.
Don't rush into the Cherry Blossom Valley, walk away from the parking lot and first visit the Dragon Palace Temple about twenty or thirty meters away to enjoy the two cherry blossom trees next to it, which are extremely dense with flowers (picture one). These two cherry blossom trees are blooming better than most in the Cherry Blossom Valley, so don't miss out!
I arrived at the parking lot just after 8 am, and there weren't many tourists at that time. By 11 am when I was leaving the scenic area, it was very crowded with tourists, and traffic congestion was already serious. A reminder to friends who want to go flower viewing, try to go early and return early to avoid the midday crowd peak.

The romance of Xiamen is half mountains and sea.
I want to share this lesser-known romantic spot in Xiamen to see the sea—Daping Mountain Country Park.

Others call it Fujian's La La Land.
Regardless, this is definitely the first place you shouldn't miss when coming to Xiamen to see the sea.
/
⭕️ 'Most Beautiful Corner':
The most beautiful mountain-sea corner is located in the middle section of the park's circular mountain path.

Mountains, sea, and freedom are all found here!

⭕️ 'How to Reach the Most Beautiful Corner':
✔️ Taxi/Self-drive: Directly navigate to 'Zhu Rong Yuan Ecological Farm', then walk down for 15 minutes to arrive.
✔️ On foot: Enter from the south gate, keep climbing up the stairs, and you'll reach it in about half an hour.

Besides checking in and taking photos at the most beautiful corner, there are actually a lot of fun things to do in this park!

The cherry blossoms you didn't have time to see, I went to see for you
Dashan Park is right next to Haicang Bridge, and you can see the cherry blossoms on the mountain just by taking a bus over the bridge. However, only bus route 820 goes directly to the park entrance, where there is a parking lot, making it very convenient for those driving.
🌸 Some people say they can't find the cherry blossoms, probably because they went to the wrong entrance. Don't go towards the mountain climbing steps; instead, enter through the stone screen-like gate, and after walking two hundred meters, you'll see a large expanse of white cherry blossoms.
🌸 The cherry blossoms here are much better than those on Huxi Mountain, and they are also more extensive, but the trees are bigger and taller. If you're taking photos, it's best to bring a small stool~
🌸 If you follow the road all the way up, you'll find pink cherry blossoms, and you can also take pictures of the cherry blossoms with Haicang Bridge in the same frame, which is especially good for those with telephoto lenses
