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'.
Taimu Mountain is located in Taimu Mountain Village, Qinyu Town, Fuding City, Ningde City, Fujian Province, with an area of about 200 square kilometers, and the main peak is 917 meters above sea level. It is now a national scenic spot. The scenic area has Taimu Mountain, Jiulong River Waterfall, Qingchuan Seaside, Fukuoka Islands, Sangyuan Cuihu five scenic spots and Lengcheng Ancient Castle and Ruiyun Temple. Taimu Mountain is mainly granite mountain body, weathered after different shapes, shapes like true, clever work, wonderful, stretching for a kilometer, majestic, eye-catching.
Tailu Mountain is amazing, more beautiful than expected! I love Hulu Cave the most. There are many tourists on May 1st, but the overall experience is still very good. The park camping at the foot of the mountain is very safe, and the life in Tailushan Town is very strong.
Taimu Mountain halved the ticket for 60-65-year-olds, plus 40 yuan transportation fee, a total of 90 yuan. The sightseeing bus terminal starts to climb the mountain, and the older elderly can climb to the sea view plank road to return.
Tailu Mountain is really beautiful, the clouds around the mountain, it is like in the clouds, like the place where the three lives in the heavens of the third generation live. If I want to play through this fairy mountain, I personally feel that I need to have a day, because this mountain is not only beautiful and pleasant, but also a place of fairy monasticism.
For people over 65 years old, there is no ticket and only needs to pay 40 yuan for sightseeing. The scenery of Taizhao Mountain is a bit like Tianzhu Mountain in Anhui. There is a sea view plank road and you can see the sea. It is called Haixian Mountain.
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.
