The cultural and creative products in the village are unique. It is not unusual to see Wenchuang products in many large tourist attractions. However, in an ancient temple in Bancheng Village, Chunguang Village, Yongtai County, Fuzhou, Fujian, I saw the cultural products of the village, which was very grounded and also got the design. Awards, rural tourism can not be underestimated.

Participated in the 2019 China's first rural tourism development (Yongtai) Summit Forum and stayed at the Guanjing Hot Spring Hotel in Yongtai County, Fujian Province. The hotel is built according to the five-star hotel. It likes its swimming pool. The indoor standard swimming pool can be exercised in the morning and evening. The biggest feature of this hotel is that it has a five-star hot spring and changes water every day. The hotel is only five minutes walk. Yongtai Railway Station, as well as the bus to Fuzhou Airport, has convenient transportation.

#postandearn Stepping onto the grounds of a Fujian Taoist temple, like the renowned Yongquan Temple nestling on Mount Gu in Fuzhou or the serene Qingjiao Mountain Temple near Quanzhou, feels less like an ordinary entry and more like crossing a subtle, luminous threshold. It’s an immediate immersion into a world shaped by the principles of the Tao – the Way – where the boundaries between the earthly and the celestial gently dissolve, orchestrated by centuries of devotion amidst the mist-swathed mountains and lush forests characteristic of this vibrant southeastern province. This wasn't just sightseeing; it was an invitation to experience the ethereal heartbeat of Fujian’s unique spiritual landscape. The initial approach itself sets the tone. Often perched dramatically on mountainsides or overlooking winding valleys, Fujian's Taoist temples embody the core Taoist reverence for nature (ziran). Paths wind upwards, sometimes as ancient stone steps smoothed by pilgrim feet and weather, shaded by ancient pines and camphor trees whose roots cling tenaciously to the rock. The air is invariably cooler, fresher, carrying the scent of damp earth, evergreen foliage, and a faint, anticipatory trace of sandalwood incense. Distant chimes or the rhythmic clack of wooden muyu fish drums drift down from above, hinting at rituals in progress. The landscape, shaped by wind, water, and time, becomes the first scripture, illustrating the Taoist understanding of nature’s effortless power and enduring flow. Architecturally, the temples of Fujian are feasts for the senses and profound expressions of Taoist cosmology. While adhering to traditional Chinese temple axial planning – progressing through gates, courtyards, and halls leading towards the main sanctuary – they bear the distinct stamp of Fujianese craftsmanship. Imagine vibrant hues: deep vermilion pillars and eaves richly adorned with intricate wood carvings depicting celestial guardians (qilin, dragons), auspicious symbols (cranes, peaches of immortality), and scenes from Taoist lore, painted in vivid blues, greens, and golds that defy the mountain mists. Exquisite dougong bracket sets, masterworks of carpentry without nails, support sweeping roofs whose curves seem to echo the surrounding hills and embrace the sky. Courtyards, often hexagonal or octagonal echoing Taoist concepts of balance, offer serene pauses, featuring gnarled bonsai pine trees symbolizing longevity or stone basins holding still water reflecting the heavens – a living metaphor for clarity and receptivity to the Tao. The scent of incense (xiang) is the temple’s lifeblood. Streams of aromatic smoke curl skyward from large cast-iron or stone incense burners in courtyards and within dim, hushed halls. Devotees, some local Fujian residents, some pilgrims from afar, clasp joss sticks, bowing three times with focused reverence before placing their offering, their silent prayers carried upwards. Within the main halls, dedicated to exalted deities within Fujian Taoism’s distinct pantheon, the atmosphere deepens. The focus might be the Primordial Heavenly Worthy (Yuanshi Tianzun), the Jade Emperor (Yuhuang Dadi), or powerful figures like Mazu (often syncretized), resonating deeply with Fujian's seafaring heritage. Golden statues loom benevolently in the flickering candlelight, veiled by smoke. Taoist priests (daoshi), clad in somber yet elegant blue or black robes adorned with intricate symbolic embroidery (yunlu), glide silently, performing meticulous rituals, their chanting resonating in the ancient timbers. The rhythmic clang of cymbals and the deep resonance of a gong punctuate the chants, momentarily intensifying the palpable energy field before settling back into profound quietude. Observing this, one understands ritual as a practice of cosmic alignment, aligning the human microcosm with the universal macrocosm. The integration with nature is profound. Balconies and verandas offer breathtaking vistas of the verdant Fujian countryside: terraced slopes, winding rivers like the Min Jiang, or the distant glint of the Taiwan Strait. Wind whispers through the ancient trees, birdsong punctuates the ritual sounds, and the ever-present moisture in the air adds a tangible element of vital energy (qi). This isn’t just a backdrop; it is the sacred space. Taoist alchemy and meditation seek harmony with these very elements – the wind carrying spirit, the water nourishing life, the mountains embodying stability. Monastic quarters often blend seamlessly into the terrain, gardens cultivated with medicinal herbs mirroring the Taoist pursuit of health and longevity. Leaving the temple complex, descending the mountain path, the experience lingers. It's more than remembering the visual splendor or the specific chants. It's carrying away a sense of profound stillness and harmony – a fleeting yet potent glimpse into a philosophy that venerates nature’s effortless power, the cyclical flow of existence (yin and yang), and the quiet cultivation of inner essence within one of China's most spiritually rich landscapes. The mist, the incense, the chants, and the majestic, human artistry set against the wild Fujian mountains coalesce into something indelible: a deep, resonant harmony that transcends specific belief and settles into the bones, a reminder of the eternal Way weaving through all things. The temple complex remains, perched amidst the clouds, an enduring sanctuary dedicated to that timeless quest for balance and connection with the ultimate source. One doesn't merely tour a Fujian Taoist temple; one experiences the very pulse of an ancient wisdom rooted in the land itself.

Dear friend, The mountain breeze carries an invitation with the scent of moss. The fragrant cassia of Deer Call Courtyard has climbed over the June garden wall. You are cordially invited, To bring along a wisp of breeze or a cloud, And join a birthday celebration in a secret haven of white and green hues— To plant rays of light in the rings of time, For a life we will always cherish.

#激流 Fuzhou Yongtai is a famous tourist city in Fujian. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. This time, I will introduce a guide to Fuzhou Yongtai Chibi rafting. Equipment: You must bring sunscreen, and it is best to wear long pants. In addition to sunscreen, it can also prevent scratches in case of capsizing. The hat should be able to buckle a safety helmet. Safety helmets are very important. Masks are not allowed to be worn, probably because they are afraid of the risk of suffocation after the boat capsizes. - Parking: If you arrive at the tourist service center after 12 o'clock, you can still park in. The parking lot is very small. Those who come late can only park outside and have to queue up for a long time. - Shuttle bus: If you arrive early, you don't have to queue up. It's very fast. You basically have to queue up around two o'clock. - Pick up the play equipment: The deposit for the life jacket is 20, and you can scan the WeChat code to collect it. The deposit will be returned when you go back. Receive the helmet when you get off the shuttle bus. Receive the paddle after the ticket inspection. A scoop is necessary (5 yuan/each). When playing, the boat will take in water, and of course you may lose your scoop, paddle, and slippers at the same time. Hahaha... It's okay, you may pick up other people's scoops and slippers later. - Play: There is an extremely exciting place where it is easy to capsize. There will be three or four lifeguards next to you. Once you capsize, they will pick you up. It is generally easy to lose everything here. Overall, it is safe. There will be lifeguards next to the bumpy places. Some places are shallow and the water is stuck. Play for about an hour and a half. - Washing: There are seven or eight female shower rooms, none of which have curtains. You can bring your own disposable bath towels as curtains. I saw others use it this way, and it is quite useful. There are hooks (very short...), racks, and hair dryers

The sun is shining, so take advantage of the spring to go out and have a spring-filled trip to the suburbs. Tongan Town, Yongtai County has two ancient villages from the Qing Dynasty, as well as a Sanyang Phoenix Temple and Shengjun Rock. This is my second time in Tongan Town. I have been to Renhe Village and Aijing Village before. There are detailed introductions on my previous homepage. This time I will focus on the Phoenix Temple and Shengjun Rock. 1. Transportation: Self-driving: It takes about one hour and 30 minutes from Fuzhou to Tongan Town. Public transportation: Take the Yongtai Tourist Bus to Yongtai South Gate Station, then take Yongtai Bus No. 18 to Yangwei Village (Aijingzhuang) Station 2. Tour route: Fenghuang Temple - Shengjun Rock - Aijing Village - Renhe Village (Qingshi Village) Three, four scenic spots are open for free 4. Snacks: Yongtai tea oil smoked duck (at the intersection of Aijingzhuang), Yongtai scallion pancakes, Yongtai dried plums, a farmhouse in the town is also good V. Introduction to scenic spots: 1. Phoenix Temple: Phoenix Temple faces south and covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 square meters. The center of the temple is the Main Hall. On the east side are the Hall of the Guardians, the Flame Wisdom Land, and the Sutra Reading Style with reduced columns and wooden structures. The main hall is the Buddhist building, and on the west side are the Patriarch Hall, the Guanyin Hall, and the Sutra Chanting Hall. There is a skylight between the east and west wing rooms and the Main Hall. The Main Hall enshrines Sakyamuni Buddha, Medicine Buddha and Amitabha Buddha, and the Bodhisattvas Manjusri and Samantabhadra, Skanda, the Guardians and the Eighteen Arhats. On the east side are the Hall of the Guardians, the Flame of Wisdom, and the Sutra Reading Tower; on the west side are the Hall of the White (Dharma, Lu Gong) Patriarch, the Guanyin Pavilion, and the Sutra Chanting Hall. There is a patio between the east and west wing rooms and the main hall. The temple gate is located in the southeast direction. From the gate to the lower courtyard, one has to climb five steps, but looking down from the corridor of the main hall, it seems that there are only three steps. It is said that this was the masterpiece of a stonemason named Xue during the reconstruction. Its meaning is "five sons passing the imperial examinations" and "three top scorers in the imperial examinations." Address: No. 8 Xianxianwan, Bantou Village, Yongtai County 2. Shengjun Rock: Shengjun Rock is located at the foot of Fenghuang Temple in Yangtou Village, Tong'an Town, Yongtai County, about 530 meters down the stairs. It became famous because Zhang Shengjun practiced here. Zhang Shengjun, a native of Yuezhou Village, Fakou Town, Yongtai County (Yongfu County), Fujian Province, is included in the "Dictionary of Chinese Names". It is said that when Zhang Shengjun was a teenager, he went to Xiangqiqing Hot Spring to pay a visit to Cailan Gong and was attracted by the spectacular monkey explosion in the first pool of the eight meals. He also went upstream and saw two overlapping Shuidi Caves, which were magical and quiet, so he practiced Yanyue here. One day, a young boy who was eager to explore the world shouted at the floating waterfall: East, West. West and east. At the beginning, Zhang Shengjun would shout as he followed the direction of the waterfall being blown by the wind, and later he would go against the trend. Over time, no matter when he shouted "east, west" or "west, east", the waterfall would float to the east and west or west and east following his shouts, as if it had become a habit. This phenomenon has been passed down to this day. Now, if you stand in the cave and shout "east, west", the waterfall will flow to the east and west as you shout. Therefore, the waterfall here is called the Shouting Pond.

| Tried and tested, it's amazing! Who says Fuzhou only has Sanfang Qixiang and Gushan Mountain? This time, we'll unlock niche routes only locals know about. Fewer crowds, beautiful scenery, budget-friendly, and every photo you take is Instagram-worthy 📸! 🌿 Reverse Tour Essence | Off-the-Beaten-Track Destinations 1️⃣ Baima Canyon (Qingyun Mountain, Yongtai): Flat hiking trail, crystal-clear streams, perfect for kids to play in the water without tiring parents out. You can even catch small fish and skip stones. 2️⃣ Difengjiang Park (Direct access via Subway Line 5): Free sunset viewing spot by the river. In the evening, the shimmering Min River resembles a spilled palette of colors 🌅, and the surrounding old houses have a built-in retro filter. 3️⃣ Qinglong Waterfall (Adjacent to Baima Canyon): A breathtaking 100-meter waterfall. Bamboo rafting, stream trekking, and picnics are highly recommended for families with children. 4️⃣ Luozhou Ancient Town (Near Difengjiang Park): A low-key complex of Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture with almost no tourists. Wearing Hanfu here makes for amazing photos. 🚶♀️ 2-Day, 1-Night Itinerary | Relaxed Pace, No Rushing Day 1: Canyon Fun + Sunset Healing ⏰ 10:00 Drive or carpool directly to Baima Canyon. Rent a fishing net at the entrance (10 yuan), and stroll along the gentle stream. Wading in the shallows is super refreshing. ⏰ 12:30 Have a streamside picnic in the barbecue area (bring your own food). Enjoying a sandwich while listening to the sound of flowing water is much better than any trendy restaurant 🥪. ⏰ 15:00 Head to Qinglong Waterfall and explore the bamboo plank road, reminiscent of a scene from "The Wizard of Oz." The mist from the waterfall at the top has a natural cooling effect 💦. ⏰ 17:30 Drive 40 minutes to Difengjiang Park and wait for an orange-hued sunset. Remember to bring a telephoto lens for silhouette shots! Day 2: Ancient Town Stroll + Local Delicacies ⏰ 9:00 Wake up naturally and visit the former residence of Chen Baochen in Luozhou Ancient Town. The cobblestone paths and mottled brick walls will transport you back in time 📜. ⏰ 11:30 Find a small, nameless eatery in the alleyways and order a bowl of Guo Bian Hu (5 yuan) with a Hai Li Bing (oyster pancake). Grandma makes them fresh and piping hot. ⏰ 14:00 Learn to make Ai Cao Ci Ba (mugwort rice cakes) at a villager's home (20 yuan experience fee). After steaming, dip them in crushed peanuts—a delight for mochi lovers 🍡. 🎒 Essential Gear | You'll Regret Leaving Any of These Behind • Waterproof backpack: A must-have for playing in the canyon. Keep your phone and documents safe from water damage. • Water shoes + quick-drying pants: The rocks in the stream are slippery, so regular slippers are a no-go 🙅♀️! • Mini mosquito repellent patches: Stick them on your collar—more convenient than sprays, especially with all the bugs in the grass. • Folding seat cushion: The ground at Difengjiang Park can be damp, so bring a cushion to avoid getting wet. ⚠️ Cautionary Advice | Lessons Learned the Hard Way ❗️ Cell phone signal is weak in Baima Canyon. Download offline maps in advance and agree on a meeting point with your family. ❗️ There are no shops at Difengjiang Park. Bring enough water and snacks, but be sure to take your trash with you (the villagers are very clean). ❗️ There's a weight limit for the bamboo rafts at Qinglong Waterfall. People over 200 jin (approx. 220 lbs) need to ride separately. Don't ask me how I know 😭. ❗️ Some old houses in Luozhou Ancient Town are not open to the public. Ask politely before taking photos to avoid disturbing the residents. 🍜 Hidden Culinary Gems | Don't Miss These ✅ Yongtai Scallion Pancakes: Baked over charcoal, incredibly crispy, and a steal at 5 yuan for 3. ✅ Stewed Chicken with Qinghong Wine: A hidden gem on farmhouse menus. The wine infuses the chicken, and you'll want to drink every last drop of the soup. ✅ Guo Bian Hu + Hai Li Bing: The breakfast power couple in Luozhou Ancient Town. Fill up for just 10 yuan per person. ✅ Iced Olive Juice: Sold in glass bottles at roadside stalls. Refreshing and thirst-quenching, and 100 times healthier than milk tea! No queues, no expensive entrance fees, just mountain breezes, flowing water, and a slower pace of life. If you're tired of the crowds, follow this guide—after all, the meaning of travel lies in discovering those overlooked corners ✨.

Distance: 12 km Road conditions: Ancient trail, dirt road, cement road Description: 1. The first 3 km are essentially the same route there and back. The loop starts at the ancient bridge (Picture 7). There's a shortcut at the beginning, but it gets very steep towards the end, especially slippery after rain. Also, some trees on both sides have thorns, so be careful when grabbing them. 2. With frequent spring rains, the dirt road becomes particularly muddy, adding a bit of difficulty. 3. The trail passes through Jishang Village, where you can have lunch and rest. There's a field of rapeseed flowers, which is incredibly beautiful during its blooming season. 4. I took the Hengchuan Ancient Trail loop, but you can also connect it with Fangguang Rock for a through hike. —————————————————— Reminder: Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility. Please take all your trash with you and leave no trace!

🚩Fujian Fanguangyan Temple: A thousand-year-old hanging temple In the charming land of Fujian, there is a mysterious "hanging temple" like a dream - Fanguangyan Temple. It is like a lost pearl, quietly located in Guangyan, south of Fuzhao Expressway in Yongtai County. It carries the vicissitudes of thousands of years of history, exudes a unique and charming atmosphere, and waits for the right person to unveil its mystery. 💡The unique charm of Fangguangyan Temple The magic of Fangguangyan Temple lies first in its unique natural environment. The cliffs where the temple is located are all naturally formed and not artificially carved. The wonders of nature are amazing. The temple is cleverly built on this peculiar cliff, and is often surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland. The waterfall on the cliff rushes down, splashing water. Under the sunlight, it reflects colorful light, adding a bit of mystery to this ancient temple. Standing in front of the temple, listening to the roar of the waterfall and feeling the water vapor blowing on your face, it seems as if you have traveled through time and space and found yourself in an isolated fairyland. 🚌Transportation Guide High-speed rail - subway - taxi combination: If you choose to travel by high-speed rail, you can first arrive at Fuzhou South Station. After exiting the station, conveniently transfer to Metro Line 5 and get off at Dongling Station. It only takes about 20 minutes to take a taxi from here to Fangguangyan Temple, and you can arrive at the foot of this mysterious ancient temple. This mode of transportation is suitable for tourists who want to reduce the fatigue of driving while experiencing the convenience of urban public transportation. While riding the subway, you can also enjoy the bustling street scenes of the city of Fuzhou and feel the local life atmosphere. 🚘Self-driving travel: For tourists who like to freely control their itinerary, self-driving is undoubtedly an excellent choice. Just enter "Fangguangyan" in the navigation software to easily plan your route. As we drive along the winding road towards our destination, the scenery outside the window gradually changes from the hustle and bustle of the city to the tranquility of the countryside, and then to the serenity of the mountains and forests, as if it were an intimate dialogue with nature. After arriving at Fanguangyan Temple, there is a free parking lot at the entrance of the temple, which is convenient for self-driving tourists to park and provides great convenience for travel. ⚠️Tour Notes Hike preparation: Climbing Fangguangyan Temple requires a certain amount of physical strength and endurance, and the entire climb takes about 50 minutes. Before departure, tourists must act according to their own physical condition and within their capabilities. Especially in the rainy season, the mountain roads are slippery and you need to be extra careful when walking. It is recommended to wear shoes with good anti-slip properties to ensure safety. If you have less physical strength, you can carry a trekking pole to assist in climbing. At the same time, you can also choose a suitable resting point during the climb, stop for a while, appreciate the scenery along the way, adjust your breathing and then continue on. 🛫Use of drones: It is worth mentioning that Fanguangyan Temple allows the use of drones for shooting, which is undoubtedly good news for photography enthusiasts. However, the head monk in the temple once kindly reminded that due to the special terrain of the temple's location, the signal can be easily affected when using a mobile phone to remotely control the aircraft, resulting in unstable control. Therefore, if you plan to use a drone to record the magnificent scenery of Fangguangyan Temple, it is best to prepare a professional remote control in advance to ensure a smooth shooting process. In this way, you can overlook from the air the magnificent picture of the perfect integration of this thousand-year-old temple and the natural landscape, and capture unique perspectives and wonderful moments. 🚻Location of restrooms: During the tour, tourists don’t have to worry about finding restrooms. There are toilets in Fangguangyan Temple for the convenience of tourists. There are also restrooms located on the mountainside about 5 minutes away from the temple. This thoughtful layout allows tourists to feel more relaxed and at ease when visiting. They do not need to be distracted by physiological needs and can fully immerse themselves in the beautiful scenery and cultural atmosphere of Fanguangyan Temple. 🍡Food and Beverage: When visiting Fangguangyan Temple, you can also taste the special vegetarian noodles, which cost 30 yuan. This vegetarian noodle is made with fresh local ingredients and is carefully cooked by the temple chefs. It is delicious, light and refreshing. It can not only satisfy the taste buds of tourists, but also allow people to feel the simplicity and tranquility of the temple while enjoying the food. If you want to enjoy a leisurely time, you can also choose to taste the fragrant tea in the temple for 50 yuan. Sit in the quiet tea room, make a pot of local fragrant tea, savor the tea aroma, look at the beautiful scenery outside the window, listen to the long bell sounds from the temple, it seems that all the worries can disappear at this moment, and enjoy the tranquility and comfort away from the world. 📖In-depth tour suggestions First time entering the ancient temple: When you follow the winding mountain road and finally arrive in front of the Fangguangyan Temple, the first thing that catches your eye is the magnificent and ancient mountain gate. Standing in front of the mountain gate, you may want to stop for a while, look at the exquisite carvings on the gate, and feel the traces left by time. Walking into the temple, you will see the ancient buildings arranged in an orderly manner, and the red walls and black tiles look particularly solemn against the backdrop of green trees. At this time, you can slow down, appreciate every architectural detail, and feel the historical charm of this thousand-year-old temple. From the wood carvings under the eaves to the murals on the walls, every place contains profound cultural heritage, as if telling tourists stories of the past. Explore the beauty of the fusion of nature and humanity: stroll along the paths in the temple, and you will find that the natural landscape and the cultural landscape are perfectly integrated here. In addition to the spectacular waterfalls and peculiar cliffs, there are many ancient and famous trees in the temple, which have witnessed the rise and fall of the temple. Under the shade of the ancient trees, there are some stone benches and stone tables where visitors can sit down, quietly listen to the sound of the waterfall, feel the breeze on their faces, and relax their body and mind in this tranquil atmosphere. At the same time, don't miss the various inscriptions and couplets in the temple. These texts not only have extremely high artistic value, but also contain profound Buddhist philosophy and cultural connotations, which are worth your stop and appreciate. Feel the religious and cultural atmosphere: As a Buddhist temple with a long history, Fangguangyan Temple holds various religious activities every day. If you happen to catch it, you might as well take part in it and feel the solemnity and sacredness of Buddhist culture. Amid the curling incense smoke and listening to the monks chanting, the restlessness in your heart may gradually dissipate at this moment, and be replaced by inner peace and tranquility. Communicating with the monks in the temple and learning about the Buddhist teachings and the history of the temple may give you a deeper understanding and insight into this ancient temple. Expansion of surrounding scenery: In addition to the Fanguangyan Temple itself, the surrounding natural scenery is also worth exploring. While hiking, pay attention to the natural scenery along the way. You may find some trails hidden in the mountains and forests. Following these trails, you may find some unknown small waterfalls, clear springs or peculiar rock landscapes. There are some small villages around the temple. You can walk into the villages, experience the local customs and culture, taste authentic farm food, and further feel the unique charm of Yongtai County.
