Fuzhou hiking trip to a waterfall in a deserted area.

Yongtai Qingyun Mountain Waterfall, where there are no bustling crowds, only the quiet mountains and forests and the ethereal sound of waterfalls. A poetic and mysterious place, with lush vegetation, strange rocks, and waterfalls complementing each other to form a unique beauty. This place is so sparsely populated that it seems like a corner forgotten by time. 📍Address: Linglu Township, Yongtai County, Fuzhou City 🚘Self-driving: Navigate to Qingyun Mountain Parking Lot 🅿️Parking: Free 🎫Tickets: CNY 35 🕰️Opening hours: 8:30 am–4 pm 🌈Travel tips 1️⃣ Enter the scenic area and you will be surrounded by tall fir trees, creating a misty forest atmosphere. There are also Cyathea spinulosa, Taxus chinensis, and Liomi stone. The only sound in the quiet scenic area is the gurgling stream. 2️⃣ Climb up the steps to see a total of 9 waterfalls. The waterfalls are not very wide, so the water flow does not seem very large from a distance, but it is okay to feel it up close. 3️⃣ Pass the Bead Curtain Waterfall. When walking through the Water Curtain Corridor, the road is wet and slippery, so walk slowly. The back of your head and back will get wet, which is very exciting. 4️⃣ Walk to the open pavilion at the top, where the left side is marked as downhill and the right side is marked as uphill. You can actually go around a small circle and come back down. There are two more waterfalls above, and then you will return to the left side and walk down. 5️⃣ This scenic area is mainly for viewing waterfalls and many large rocks with gaps. The scenery is okay, and there are very few people. ⚠️Tips 1. It takes about 1 hour from the ticket office to the waterfall. Be sure to take a bamboo raft, which costs CNY 8 per person. 2. There is a small shop at the entrance, but no supply points along the way. Bring your own water and food. 3. This is a leisure route, with a short distance, belonging to the scenic area, and a high safety factor. 4. There is a hot spring and Qingyun Mountain Cloud Eye Suspension Corridor within 5 minutes, which is very suitable for a weekend leisure two-day tour. 5. Leave no trace in the mountains and fields, and remember to take your trash with you.
