Things to do in Zhangpu

Before coming, I saw many posts online warning against visiting this place, saying it was desolate and not good. But I actually really liked it. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My husband also said this was his favorite spot on this trip to Zhangzhou. If you like places with fewer people and the whole beach to yourself, don't miss it!

It was a great experience. Fortunately, I made an appointment online in advance, otherwise there would be a lot of people on weekends. It was worth my long wait. It was really good. I unlocked a new store and chose this one based on the reviews. I was very satisfied with the food and drinks. It was very good. The experience was very good and the price was fair. I will come again next time.^◡^. It is worth recommending. I mainly praise the staff. They are super nice and have a really good attitude. There is no impatience at all! The location is easy to find. You can see a big logo at a glance. The environment is very good and the atmosphere is also 🈶️

Located at the foot of the Shuogao Mountain in Huxi, Shexiang, Zhangpu County, Fujian Province, with a radius of 0.5 kilometers, 38 kilometers from the city center and 90 kilometers from Zhangzhou city, it is an ancient castle where Zhao Ruohe, the Prince of Minchong (the 10th-generation grandson of Zhao Kuangmei, the younger brother of Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin), a royal family member of the late Southern Song Dynasty, took refuge and lived in seclusion in exile in the late Southern Song Dynasty. It is commonly known as Zhaojiabao.

It feels pretty good. The sea water is clean, the beach is very flat, and you can go to the beach. You can watch the sunrise the next day. It's good when the weather is clear. I like the beach,,,,,

I arrived just in time for the guided tour. The scenery was beautiful. Although it wasn't Mid-Autumn Festival or National Day when I visited Gulangyu again after twelve years, there were still many people on Gulangyu during those three days in between.

Sunshine, waves, beaches and volcanic rocks are the themes here; freshness, beauty and literature are the styles of this land.

I recommend Rainforest World and Lion Mountain Garden; the other areas are just so-so. The fog effects in Rainforest World are quite nice, making you feel like you're strolling through a rainforest and breathing in nature. The purple flower fields in Lion Mountain Garden are quite beautiful.

An ancient city is a carrier of a place's history, culture, and customs. Zhangzhou Ancient City, bearing witness to the city's millennia-long history and culture, is a "living fossil" of Zhangzhou's ancient culture and a "living archive" witnessing the city's historical and cultural changes. An ancient city is a repository of memories, emotions, and nostalgia. In the ancient city, you can find the taste of your childhood, hear the everyday chatter of your neighbors, and feel the warmth of home. Here, you can see the historical accumulation of Zhangzhou, feel its cultural heritage, and find your spiritual home. An ancient city is an engine for a place's cultural tourism and economy. In the ancient city, you can taste authentic Minnan snacks, buy handicrafts and intangible cultural heritage products, and enjoy traditional operas and folk performances. Here, you can experience the city's cultural charm, enjoy its cultural benefits, and reap its cultural rewards. Zhangzhou Ancient City is one of Fujian Province's famous historical and cultural cities and an important part of Minnan culture. Founded during the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty, it has evolved over a thousand years and still retains many precious historical and cultural relics. The ancient city of Zhangzhou is characterized by a network of nine main streets and eighteen lanes, forming a complete and open spatial layout. The nine main streets are: Beijing Road, Xinhua Road, Zhongshan Road, Taiwan Road, Hong Kong Road, Macau Road, Shengli Road, Dananmen Road, and Buzheng Road; the eighteen lanes are: Shuqian Lane, Yuanwen Lane, Yuanwu Lane, Yuanheng Lane, Yuanli Lane, Yuanzhen Lane, Yuanchun Lane, Yuanzheng Lane, Yuancheng Lane, Yuanxiang Lane, Yuanrui Lane, Yuantai Lane, Yuanhua Lane, Yuanqing Lane, Yuanzhi Lane, Yuanren Lane, Yuansheng Lane, and Fuqian Heng Lane.

Visiting the Zhonggu Cableway in early October, with its clear skies and gentle breezes, offered the perfect opportunity to experience the breathtaking aerial views, far removed from the sweltering heat of midsummer. The Zhonggu Cableway traverses the Wanshi Mountain forest, and the gentle ascent in the cable car provides a unique and immersive experience, offering panoramic views of Xiamen from above. The cable car cabins are open-plan, offering unobstructed views. As the cable car slowly ascends, lush subtropical forests line both sides, their verdant foliage and fresh mountain air filling the air. With each ascent, the view gradually expands, revealing the verdant Zhonggu Mountain range nearby, and in the distance, the red-tiled roofs of Xiamen's old town, along with the high-rise buildings and the bay, unfolding in a harmonious tapestry. Reaching the highest point, one can gaze upon Gulangyu Island and the boundless sea, taking in the panoramic view of the city, mountains, and azure ocean blending seamlessly into a breathtaking panorama. The entire journey takes approximately forty minutes one way, with a smooth and leisurely ride, ideal for savoring the scenery at a leisurely pace. Along the way, you'll see towering boulders in the valleys and forest trails, with constantly changing mountain scenery from different angles. Compared to hiking, the cable car saves you the effort of climbing, yet offers a panoramic view unmatched by ordinary observation decks. The only drawback is the long queues during peak hours; it's recommended to travel during off-peak times. The cabins offer no shade, so remember to wear sunscreen when the sun is strong. Sitting in the cable car, with the mountain breeze in your ears and overlooking the entire city, you'll feel incredibly relaxed. The Zhonggu Cableway is more than just a transportation route; it's a window into the panoramic view of Xiamen's mountains and sea. Here, the wild beauty of the mountains and the coastal cityscape converge, allowing you to experience the tranquility of nature while enjoying breathtaking urban views. If you're tired of the bustling city streets, climbing here and gazing at the unique mountain and sea scenery of Xiamen from mid-air is a pleasant and unforgettable experience.

The Dongshan Wind-Moving Stone Scenic Area truly lives up to its reputation as a landmark of Dongshan Island. The "Number One Wonder Stone in the World" is truly awe-inspiring, with a 200-ton boulder hanging precariously on the cliff edge, swaying slightly in the wind yet remaining standing for millennia. The park also features historical sites such as the Tongshan Ancient City and the Guandi Temple. The coastal boardwalk offers expansive sea views, and the combination of natural wonders and Minnan (Southern Fujian) culture makes for a pleasant stroll with the sea breeze. It's definitely worth a visit when visiting Dongshan Island.
