Where are Fuding Taishan Islands and what is the scenery like?

In addition to some popular attractions in Fuding, there are many niche attractions in the surrounding waters that are worth visiting, such as Taishan Islands. This island has its own style, and you can also watch the sea here. This feeling is very comfortable and open. Let’s find out about it together!

The island has rich and unique sea erosion landforms and various shapes, and is known as a "sea park". The most unique thing about Taishan is the Umbrella Reef. Umbrella Reef is the symbol of Taishan Island and is known as "a unique spot on the sea". It is immersed in the sea on three sides and connected to the mainland on one side. Viewed from different angles, it has different shapes, most like an umbrella, another like a pipe, and sometimes a turtle.

Attraction location: Shacheng Town, Fuding City, Ningde City, Fujian Province (25 nautical miles away from Qinyu Town)

There are many reefs scattered around Taishan Island, and there are many reefs between it and the main island. The rising tide is separated from each other and the low tide is connected. After the low tide, people can enter the giant reef to pick up marine animals and plants. Umbrella Reef is no exception. You can walk into Umbrella Reef through an artificial bridge after low tide. Its reef cylinder is a heaven-made bunker. The cut-out fortress is quite spacious and opens in three directions: east, north and south_ There are three cannon holes and gun holes for mounting machine guns and small cannons, and there are underground tunnels leading to the island. They used to be guarded by troops, but now they are open to tourists for exploration.

Go east, cross the path and pass through reeds, and you can see trenches and abandoned barracks from time to time. The Taishan Islands are also strategically important. Back then, the Kuomintang used it as a navigational landmark and a must-pass for aircraft to harass the mainland. The smoke has cleared and cross-strait tensions have eased. There were many trenches, communication trenches, blockhouses, and bunkers built on the island at that time. They are still well preserved and are clearly a coastal defense frontline ruins museum.

On the island there are bonfires and barbecues, fireworks and Kongming lanterns. We camped at night. Those who wanted to watch the sunrise could camp on the islands by the sea, but the conditions were a bit harsh. Those of us who didn’t want to watch the sunrise camped on someone else’s terrace. It seemed like we were given a site fee of 100 yuan. There are about 10 tents set up, and there are bathrooms available. There are also B&Bs for 50 yuan/person, and the conditions are average.

1. When going to Taishan Islands, you must pay attention to the weather forecast. If it rains on the island, it means that you will not be able to see the starry sky, sunset and sunrise, and you will also be tortured by rain.

2. The seafood caught on the island is very fresh and cheap.

3. There are residential areas on Xitai Mountain, as well as inns, hotels, and small shops. There are many camping places on the island, but you have to pay attention to the sheep dung all over the mountains and plains.

The scenery on the island is very good, it can be said to be primitive, and there are rows of ancient houses. You can feel a quiet place in this place without hustle and bustle. All of these are safe, quiet, but also He was ready to move as if waiting for something, as if he was storing a huge secret. You can see the sunrise in the early morning where we set up our tent, which is really different from the city experience.
