#100 Kinds of Beauty in Fujian# How fun is Fuzhou, how to play Fuzhou? A few days ago, I have written a travel guide about Mawei, in the National Day holiday, I will bring more Fuzhou travel maps, today is about the beautiful scenery of another district in Fuzhou - Jin'an. Whether you are familiar with Jin'an or not, I only hope that the Jin'an in my eyes can impress you and take a simple trip that you can walk away.
Compared with the Gulou and Taijiang districts in the center of Fuzhou, Jin'an District is larger, rich in natural resources, and has more diversified travel routes. There are Three national scenic spots such as Guling National Tourist Resort and Gushan Scenic Area, Fuzhou National Forest Park, Fujian Shoushan Mine Park, etc., and there is also the North Peak known as the "Fuzhou Back Garden", and the Shoushan Stone, known as the "Treasure of Heavenly Dispatch", is uniquely produced in the North Peak Mountain.
Climb the famous mountain to tour the ancient temple
Fuzhou is mountainous, and the most famous of them is the drum mountain. The most famous stone carvings on the cliffs of Gushan Mountain, there are a total of 180 inscriptions on the cliffs of Gushan Mountain, and it is estimated that there are no less than 300 stone carvings on the mountain, among which the famous one is the "Shou" character carved on the stone wall under the drinking rock, with a diameter of 4 meters, which was written by the Southern Song Dynasty scholar Zhu Xi. From the Northern Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty to the contemporary era, the Drum Mountain Cliff Stone Carving Seal, Li, Xingcao, and Kai juquan are all complete, known as the Fuzhou Forest of Steles.
Since ancient times, most of the famous mountain monks have been occupied. The Yongquan Temple on Drum Mountain has a peculiar architectural pattern of "entering the mountain without seeing the temple, entering the temple without seeing the mountain", and it is also a place that must not go to the drum mountain.
Legend has it that this place was originally a deep pool with a poisonous dragon in the pool, which harmed the surrounding people. In the fourth year of Tang Jianzhong, the local county sheriff asked the mage to subdue the poisonous dragon, and the mage recited the Huayan Sutra on the bank of the pond, and the dragon left. The people deeply felt his virtue, so they built a temple on the site of the pond and welcomed the teachers to live in Xi, and then there was the Fayan Temple, which is today's Yongquan Temple.
Drum Mountain is Fuzhou's famous fitness ascent, climbed the Drum Mountain several times, only a few years ago walked into the Yongquan Temple, because the ticket is slightly more expensive, 40 yuan tickets, want to come, in addition to devout Buddhists, the average tourist will feel that it is not worth it.
China's large and small scenic spots are more or less like this, and exaggerated ticket prices block people's interest in traveling. However, from another point of view, the 40 yuan ticket also allows the ancient temple to maintain a rare purity.
Go to Guling to escape the summer and see the old houses
Tired, then go to Guling, which is adjacent to Gushan Mountain, and take a vacation to avoid the last trace of dry heat in Fuzhou. "I would rather stand among the peaks than be above the grass." The Fujian female poet Shu Ting wrote this. The climate is cool, the maximum temperature is about 30 °C, 5-7 °C lower than the urban area, and it has the three characteristics of "fresh wind, mist and willow fir", and the reputation of "Yixia" comes from this.
Strolling through Guling Old Street, old villas are telling tourists the history of this summer resort.
Guling brings together more than 300 villas of different styles, including a large number of ancient houses and ancient buildings.
Gardner Memorial Hall is a combination of Chinese and Western buildings with single-storey green tile slope roof and stone and wood structure, and the architectural style of Guling characteristic foreigners' villas can be seen from its architectural style. The interior furniture arrangement of the exhibition hall restores the style of life of foreigners at that time as much as possible.
Guling also has one of the highest parks in the province: Liushanwang Park. It is caused by a plant with a height of 30 meters, a diameter of about 10 meters, and a diameter of 3. The 2-meter "Willow King" got its name. "Willow King" is lush all year round, and the middle branch is divided into two branches, known as "husband and wife tree" and "lover tree".
In the columns, camp to watch the sunrise. Grass, sunshine, breeze, starlight, in the column will have a feeling of close to nature, set up a tent, summer nights are very pleasant.
The peak mountain is high and densely forested, and the rain is abundant, creating the waterfall wonder of the Emperor's Cave. There are more than 20 large and small waterfalls in the canyon, with a maximum drop of 76 meters, like the sky flying water, the Milky Way rushing, the waterfalls and pools are connected, and the momentum is magnificent. Sandi Waterfall, Elephant Trunk Waterfall, Shenlong Waterfall, Guanyin Waterfall, Longtan Waterfall, etc. have their own characteristics, step by step, can not help but let people marvel at the magic of nature.
If you ask what season is the most suitable time to come to the Emperor's Cave, then I will definitely recommend you to come in early winter. Winter in Fuzhou, in fact, can only be regarded as the late autumn in the north, the Emperor's Cave at this time, is the most colorful season, dotted in the green mountains of the maple leaves to the evergreen Grand Canyon in all seasons to bring golden autumn color, sunlight and water are warm.

This piece of field Yellowstone is about 9 pounds, farmers sell at a high price of 110,000, of course, soon after he should regret it, now the industry authoritative experts give the price of Shangpintian Yellowstone is about 200,000 yuan per gram or more, and his piece weighs more than 9 pounds, that is, 4500 grams, can be worth more than 1 billion yuan, almost 110,000 yuan ten thousand times.
In order to protect the stone resources of Shoushan, Shoushan is no longer allowed to be mined, and these ancient mines have become popular tourist attractions, attracting people to explore secrets.
In addition to these ancient and storied ancient mine caves, Shoushan and even The North Peak itself is a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and it is also a great gain to come here on weekends to breathe fresh air and listen to the legends of the past.
