Yunding Scenic Area (Yongtai)
云顶景区
A highland scenic area in Yongtai County that combines alpine lakes, meadows and waterfalls. It is a summer retreat for Fuzhou residents.
Yunding Scenic Area lies in Lingli Township, Yongtai County. Its core is a plateau at about 1,000 meters above sea level, with the alpine lake Tianchi (Heavenly Lake), large meadows, rhododendron forests and the Yunding waterfall cluster, which has a considerable drop. A canyon trail links several waterfalls. It is cool in summer, and the meadows turn golden in autumn. Camping under the stars is also possible. Admission is charged, subject to official information. A full visit takes half a day to a full day. The trails have many steps, so wear non-slip shoes. Getting there: it is about 1.5 hours by self-drive from Fuzhou downtown. Public transport is inconvenient, so hiring a car or joining a one-day tour is recommended.
