Qingjing Taoyuan in Nan’an, Fujian

China, Chinese Cities & Tourism

In July, I traveled to Fujian province, where my sister lives. We spent most of our time exploring the interesting sights and foods near Quanzhou. Today, however, the weather is very good and sunny. So, my family and I came to Qingjing Taoyuan in Nan’an City. This is a modern leisure attraction focusing on ecology, recreation, tourism, and physical exercise.  

The entrance of the scenic spot is at the top of the mountain, and we drove the car around the mountain a few times to reach the entrance. If you think that Qingjing Taoyuan is all mountains and it is boring, then you are wrong. In the scenic area, there are various entertainment facilities. Not only can you feel the tranquility between the mountains and rivers, you can also enjoy the recreation activities here. This is a good place for couples or family trips. 

My family and I spent a nice day here, and I took all kinds of beautiful photos. Let’s enjoy it together! 

This is the scene closest to the entrance in the scenic area that I think is very beautiful: Mountains, water, trees, boats, peach blossoms. This seems to constitute a painting. We need to enter the cave from the side stairs, and then lead to a wider landscape.

There are two types of roads in the Qinjing Taoyuan scenic area, one is the highway for tour buses, and the other is the walkway for pedestrians, usually with more stairs. We are walking on a mountain road, with mountains and trees on both sides, blue sky and white clouds above our heads. We have our close family members or partners around us. The sun shines on us and makes us sweat. This is the result of hard climbing to the top. 

A “hand”, if you don’t have a fear of heights, you can climb the steps to the “palm.” From the mountain-side above the hand, we can look down at the city in the distance.

The bridge in this picture has a glass deck, which is a kind of bridge that has become popular in China in recent years. These bridges are found in scenic spots like Qingjing Taoyuan, and is not a bridge that is actually built for use in daily life. The bridge deck is made of glass, and the whole bridge is fixed by many iron locks, it is safe. But if you walk with your head down, I can’t guarantee you won’t be scared, because it is really high. The view below your feet can make people who are afraid of heights become dizzy. Many people challenge the bridge. Some people will become weak or tremble on the bridge, but some people can walk around on the bridge calmly. Since there was a child on my trip this time, we gave up this project, LOL. 

This is a viewing platform for tourists to rest, and there is a telescope next to the shed, which allows you to clearly see the distant scenery. Not just rest, do you see that heart? That is a seat, you can sit in its heart, whose heart? Of course, in the heart of Qingjing Taoyuan, it exudes charm and welcomes every visitor. 

There is a hot-air balloon on the green grass for tourists to take pictures. There is also a campground with tents next to the balloon launch. If you want to spend the night in the mountains, this is a good choice: moonlight, grass, tent. This is a romantic atmosphere. You will spend a good night.

When traveling in hot weather, if you feel tired and hot, not only can you enjoy the cool breeze and cold drinks, you can also take a swim in the pool. What? You want to say that we are on the mountain, where is the swimming pool? Please see.

Finally, take a boat with your family and watch the scenery of the lake. This is a small boat that runs by human pedaling (just like riding a bicycle).
