Transportation: cars

Except for a few surrounding cities, which have direct buses to Taimushan Town, most of them are from other provinces, and they all need buses to go to Ningde, Fujian, and then to Fuding. Relatively speaking, go on road trip is tired, so it is not recommended to take a bus to play.

Tourism mode: leisure sightseeing

There is no word "easy" to visit Taimu Mountain. Taimu Mountain is a little different from other peaks. Except that the car ferry will take you from the distribution center of Taimushan Town to the gate, there is no cable car coming down from the top of the mountain, and it is all on foot.

suggestion

Transportation: plane/motor train (Taimushan Station)

Steamed buns can choose to go to Taimushan by train, and there is Taimushan Station directly. After arriving at the station, there is also a scenic bus that goes directly to the distribution center of Taimu Mountain. If it is an airplane, you can choose Fuzhou Airport or Wenzhou Airport, and you need to transfer to get there.

How to visit: mountain climbing and hiking.

Climbing Taimu Mountain is really interesting. It has nearly a hundred kinds of strange stones, each with its own story and origin. In addition to hiking, there are narrow caves and gaps for you to shuttle and meander along the trestle, which is really full of fun and challenges.

Play time: same-day round trip

Because Taimu Mountain belongs to fuding city City below Ningde City, Fujian Province, although there is a through train, it takes time to climb the mountain. It is suggested to start climbing around 9 am. To complete the tour of the whole mountain, it will take about 4 or 5 pm at the earliest, and it will be too late to go back and forth that day.

Tour route: Couple Peak → Yuhu Temple

Couple Peak → Sendai → Hulu Cave → Jiangjun Cave → Qixing Cave → Jiuli Lake → Longxuling → Yixiantian → 500 Luohantang → Yiwa → Xiangshan Temple → Yuhu Temple. The road twists and turns, and there is no turning back. Panshan Highway has a long way to go.

suggestion

Play time: 1 day 1 night

A better way is to arrive at Taimushan Station-Xuan Ji Cave-Couple Peak in the afternoon. This route basically covers several elite scenic spots in Taimu Mountain. It takes about 4-5 hours to climb, and then spend the night. After climbing the mountain the next morning, you can choose to leave by train. In fact, this way is moderate and suitable for visiting Taimu Mountain.

Tour route: Couple Peak → Xuan Ji Cave Couple Peak-Tangta-Longtan-Xiaomofeng-Tianmen Temple-Longmen Cave-Jiuli Lake → Baiyun Temple-Qixing Cave-Jiangjun Cave.

Accommodation: fuding city

As a county-level city in Ningde, fuding city has good transportation and accommodation conditions, but it is about 30 kilometers away from Taimu Mountain Scenic Area, and Taimu Mountain has its own railway station, so it is inevitable to have trouble going back and forth.

Climbing tools: trekking poles

Maybe climbing other mountains requires trekking poles, but climbing Taimu Mountain is even more difficult, because the mountain road of Taimu Mountain is grotesque, with caves, rock walls and trestles. Some gaps are even a little fat, and it is very troublesome to bring a trekking stick.

suggestion

Accommodation: Taimushan Town

Although Taimushan Town is not big, it has all kinds of food, drink, play and shopping, which has the flavor of a small county town, simple folk customs and affordable accommodation. There are many local specialty snacks to choose from, and the distance is 1 km.

Climbing tools: It is recommended to wear climbing gloves for all gloves. Because the rocks in Taimu Mountain are all volcanic rocks and granite, the stones are uneven, but they need hands and feet to shuttle between caves and cracks, which is easy to scratch the palms, so it is necessary to wear climbing gloves.

Special food: Fuding sliced meat/beef soup If you want to say that Fuding sliced meat and beef soup are really unforgettable, sliced meat is mainly pork+flour, while beef soup is beef+flour. These two kinds of snacks are famous local snacks. Although there is soup, they feel full and taste delicious. Add sweet vinegar and coriander, and it will be delicious.

Special food: Braised chicken wings/Pearl steamed buns Fuding's braised chicken wings are black and red, salty and sweet in taste, and particularly chewy to eat, which is the kind that the more you eat, the more fragrant it is, which is particularly different from ordinary braised chicken wings. The pearl steamed stuffed bun, which is a little bigger than the pearl, has a thin skin and a thick flesh, and is more delicious than the ordinary steamed stuffed bun.

Bonus: Fuding White Tea

Fuding's white tea is not only famous in China, but also in the world. Since ancient times, white tea has been said that old white tea is better than Y, and the more old white tea is cooked, the more fragrant it is. You can buy some white tea for 3-5 years, such as Bai Mudan, Shoumei and Gongmei. The price is also very affordable and mellow.

Bonus: betel nut taro

The betel nut taro in Fuding is big, but the meat is soft and crisp, and it is easy to cook. The simple way to eat is to cook it with rice. Not to mention how fragrant the cooked taro rice is, the stew is also very good. Lazy, just steam it, and save it for you after eating.
