Fuding

A mountain and sea city in northeastern Fujian, famous for the bizarre rocks of Mount Taimu, the alpine meadows of Dayushan Island, and Fuding white tea.

Fuding is located in the northeastern part of Fujian Province, bordering Zhejiang to the north and the East China Sea to the east. It is a county-level city managed by Ningde City. Mount Taimu is famous for its granite peak forests and is known as the "Fairyland on the Sea"; Dayushan Island features mountaintop lakes and alpine meadows, while Jiulixi Waterfalls and Niulanggang Beach offer their own mountain and water pleasures. This is the birthplace of Fuding white tea, and the tea town of Diantou is well worth exploring, while Cuijiao Ancient Residence and Chixi Village showcase local vernacular architecture. Spring and autumn are the best times to travel, and spring also coincides with the tea harvest. The Wenzhou-Fuzhou High-Speed Railway serves Fuding Station, and reaching the island requires taking a ferry from the pier.
