Daiyun Mountain

戴云山

The “roof of central Fujian,” at 1,856 meters, a national nature reserve. Its highlights are Huangshan pine forests, alpine meadows, and seas of rhododendron.

Daiyun Mountain lies in central Dehua County. Its main peak rises about 1,856 meters above sea level, the highest point in central Fujian. It is known as the “roof of central Fujian,” and the Daiyun mountain range takes its name from it. This is a national nature reserve that preserves extensive Huangshan pine forests and native mid-subtropical vegetation. In spring, alpine rhododendrons bloom across the slopes. The usual route to the summit follows traditional hiking trails. A round trip takes a full day and requires a fair level of fitness, so go with a companion and bring plenty of water and warm clothing. Some areas lie within the reserve, so follow its management rules and do not stray from the trails.
