Zixi County
A small ecological county on the Jiangxi–Fujian border, famous for canyon rafting at Dajue Mountain and also known as the "home of bread."
Zixi County lies in eastern Jiangxi Province and is administered by Fuzhou. It borders Fujian, sits on the western slopes of the Wuyi Mountains, and has very high forest coverage and fresh air, earning it the name of an ecological county. The Dajue Mountain scenic area combines canyon rafting, Buddhist culture and mountain scenery, and rafting is especially popular in summer; Matou Mountain Nature Reserve is rich in biodiversity. Many people from Zixi run bakeries elsewhere, and "Zixi bread" has quite a reputation. Summer is the best time to visit, though spring and autumn are also good. Take a high-speed train or bus via Fuzhou or Yingtan and transfer onward.
