Introduction to Fuqing Shizhu Mountain Scenic Area

Shizhu Mountain Scenic Area is located in Fuqing City 10 kilometers away from the western suburbs, close to Liyu Lake. You can choose to walk all the way up, or you can take the cable car to the middle of the mountain and then visit on foot, which is more labor-saving. Sitting on the cable car and looking down, the scenery of Dianshan Lake is particularly beautiful.

Not far from the ropeway station, the Dianzhu Taoist Temple is halfway up the mountain. Dianzhu Taoist Temple is an ancient temple where Buddhism and Taoism coexist. The main gods enshrined inside are not the Jade Emperor and Sanqing, but the famous Nine Immortals of the He family in Taoism. It should be noted that incense candles at the foot of the mountain are usually much cheaper than those on the mountain. There may be "enthusiastic people" in the temple who can guide you on how to pray. Usually, you need to pay extra. If you don't plan to do this, you can politely decline.

If time is limited, you can return from Dianzhu Daoyuan. If you want to enjoy more natural scenery, you can continue to climb to Champion Peak along the stone steps. Two hiking trails halfway up the mountain meet at Fu Qiang Pavilion and merge into one road leading to the top. Completing the journey still requires some physical strength.
