Pingnan County

A county of mountains, water and ancient villages in eastern Fujian, with the unique shallow rock-bed plaza of Baishuiyang, and wooden arch covered bridges and creatively revived old villages that draw visitors.

Pingnan County lies in northeastern Fujian Province, in the west of Ningde, with high mountains, dense forests and many streams. Baishuiyang is a rare flat bedrock riverbed, a shallow-water plaza where you can wade in summer. The Yuanyang Stream canyon is beautiful, and wooden arch covered bridges such as Wan'an Bridge represent traditional building craftsmanship. Ancient villages such as Longtan and Shuangxi have been revitalized through creative projects and restoration. Summer is the best time for splashing about and escaping the heat, and spring and autumn are also good. It can be reached by expressway from Ningde and Fuzhou.
