Mount Taimu, the celestial city above the sea
Fujian's famous Mount Taimu is located 45 kilometers south of the urban area of Fuding City in the northeastern part of Fujian Province. Towering majestically along the coast of the East China Sea, Mount Taimu boasts a grand presence and picturesque scenery, integrating natural landscapes of mountains, seas, rivers, waterfalls, and caves with cultural landscapes of temples, forts, and towns. It is renowned for its perilous peaks, bizarre rocks, peculiar caves, mysterious waters, and frequent mists, sharing the title of Fujian's famous mountains with the green cliffs and blue waters of Mount Wuyi. Ancient people called Mount Wuyi the 'Eastern Marvel' and referred to Mount Taimu as the 'celestial city above the sea'.
The Mount Taimu scenic area currently comprises six tourist zones: Mount Taimu, Jiuli Stream Waterfall, Lengcheng Ancient Castle, Fuyao Archipelago, Qingchuan Seashore, and Ruiyun She Village. The Mount Taimu tourist zone is the main part of the scenic area, covering an area of 24.8 square kilometers, including the Guoxing Temple, Gourd Cave, One Tile, Xiangshan Temple, Jiuli Facing Heaven, Baiyun Temple, Tianmen Temple, and a total of 360 scenic spots.
After getting off the car halfway up the mountain, one can see the overlapping peaks and bizarre rocks. Not far away is the site of Guoxing Temple, next to which stands a seven-tiered octagonal Liaoxin stone pagoda, named the Lengjia Treasure Pagoda. Standing in front of the pagoda and looking to the northwest, one can see a group of stone peaks stretching across the sky, known as the Eighteen Arhats Peaks; looking to the southwest, there are two peaks facing each other, like a couple reunited after a long separation, full of lingering affection, known as the Husband and Wife Peaks.
The caves on Mount Taimu, such as Gourd Cave, General Cave, One-Line Sky, Dripping Water Cave, Seven-Star Cave, One Tile, and Rhino Cave, also have their unique characteristics and are fascinating.
One Tile, also known as Half Cloud Cave, is formed by a huge rock covering the top of the cliff like a tile, thus creating a cave dwelling, hence the name. Inside the cave is the Rock Cave Hermitage, also known as One Tile Temple, established in the Ming Dynasty. The hermitage houses a vegetarian restaurant and a green snow bud tea room, providing meals, tea tasting, and rest for visitors. To the east is the famous 'One-Line Sky', another marvelous cave, 200 meters long and 60 meters high, with steep walls and a slit at the top. The path inside the cave varies in height and width, winding and twisting. At its narrowest point, it can only accommodate one's foot, and visitors need to sidestep and hold their breath to pass through.
Mount Taimu is surrounded by the sea on three sides, where the hidden beauty and wonders of thousands of peaks and rocks reflect the ever-changing vast sea, forming a magnificent 'grand view of mountains and sea'.
Choose the longest road: Yingxiantai, a gourd cave, a line, a green snow bud, a piece of tile, a hanging bronze hall, 19 Wuhu, Baiyun Temple, Mani Palace, a gazebo, a starry sky camp, Baiyun Temple, a view of the pavilion, 19, Chaotian, a seven-star cave, a drop of water cave, a sea plank road, a Yingxian stack Road. The whole journey is 7 hours. It is recommended to go to Hulu Cave for a walk (no rainy weather) for about 1 hour, which is more interesting than the first-line sky. Jiuzhu Lake is where the essence is, and Guanxian Plank Road is also wrong 👍
I have been going to Taimu Mountain, and this May Day holiday finally became a trip. In order to prevent more people, I got up early. Driving from Fuding City, 8 o'clock to the visitor center. No one! The weather is also very powerful, and the cloudy day is not hot. According to the plan, clockwise play, Husband and Wife Peak Square, first-line sky, a piece of tile, Wuyi Luohan Hall, Xiangshan Temple, Jiulong Lake, Baiyun Temple, Crescent Peak... It took less than 4 hours to circle around Jiuyi Chaotian. I took the car down the mountain at 12:30 and successfully avoided the crowd. The scenic spot is good, the scenery is pleasant, the strange stone, the mountains and the sea are interdependent, and it is very playful. The sanitary condition is also good. There are service staff guidance on the main node. In addition, there are many supply points (complete shops), so you don't have to worry about water and dining when you play. It is recommended to be early, you can calmly watch the mountains and walk the stack, quietly enjoy the spectacular scenery of Taimu Mountain.
Scenery! There are both strange mountains and strange stones, and there are waterfalls and streams. It can be described as a mountain circuit, and the wonderful environment is Tiancheng! Especially many caves, they can be beautiful with the front line (big body, careful thinking), Jiulong Lake landscape blends, small bridges and flowing water green trees and safflowers. Moreover, the people's livelihood here (Taizhanshan Town) is simple, whether it is taxi, dining, or accommodation, it is basically affordable, and it is very pleasant to play!

Walk to the visitor center and take the bus for 20 minutes to reach the mountainside of more than 400 meters. The scenery of the scenic spot is beautiful, and the strange stone cave is suitable for young and physically good friends to explore, but you must use trekking poles. Because the protection is good, there are many places that are more original and not easy to climb. The whole scenic spot is very large. We only climbed a third of it in three hours. I hope the road signs can be more detailed. In addition, you can ask a tour guide at the entrance, so that you can take less wrong roads. Have the opportunity to go again in summer.
