Surely, no native of Fujian remains unaware of the captivating beauty of our beloved province! Boasting breathtaking landscapes of soaring mountains, tumbling waterfalls, verdant bamboo forests, and vast sea of clouds, Fujian offers an array of natural wonders that are truly a sight to behold.
Ascend to the peak of the “First Peak for Viewing the Sunrise in the Eight Provinces” at a majestic height of 1782 meters, and behold the splendor of the Daixian Falls, a stunning waterfall with a towering drop of 280.12 meters. Dare to traverse the transparent glass skywalk hovering above the falls, and embark on a thrilling 40-minute cable car ride to soar above the sea of clouds. This五一省内游, indeed, promises to be an unforgettable adventure!
Last year, I visited this enchanting locale, and the memories still linger in my heart. This time, seizing the opportunity of the pleasant weather, I embarked on a spontaneous trip with friends. Departing from Xiamen, it took us merely 2.5 hours to arrive at Deshua Shiuniu Mountain, where the verdant greenery of springtime awaited us with its healing embrace.
Throughout the journey, I couldn’t help but marvel at the masterpiece of nature’s craftsmanship. Here’s a glimpse into our one-day itinerary:
Getting There: Whether you choose to drive or hitch a ride, the journey to Shiuniu Mountain is a breeze. From Fuzhou, it’s a 2-hour drive, and from Xiamen, it’s a comfortable 2.5-hour ride. Alternatively, you can take the high-speed train to Dehua Station and hop on the No. 16 tourist bus for a direct ride to the scenic area. This option is perfect for small groups or budget-conscious travelers like students.
Itinerary: We recommend arriving at the scenic area around 11 am to make the most of your time. The cable car ride, which takes approximately 40 minutes, will transport you to the upper station, where you can begin your adventure. From there, a short 10-minute shuttle ride will take you to Shihutang Ancestral Hall and the main peak, which requires a bit of hiking. Continue your journey to the Sky Heart (glass skywalk) and make your choice between a scenic 30-minute walk along the wooden trail or a smaller cable car ride to reach the Daixian Falls. The falls, with their majestic backdrop, are a photographer’s dream, and the nearby stream offers equally stunning photo ops. Finally, hop on the shuttle bus to exit the scenic area.
Tips: You can choose to spend the entire day exploring the scenic area, or you can opt to stay overnight to catch the breathtaking sunrise over the sea of clouds the next morning. Keep in mind that the waterfall’s powerful spray may get you wet, so it’s advisable to bring a change of clothes. The Niu Street offers affordable snacks, but prices can be doubled on the mountain, so plan accordingly. Since most of the terrain involves walking on trails and栈道, it’s recommended to wear comfortable sports shoes.
