Mount Fugai
浮盖山
A granite rock mountain on the border of Zhejiang and Fujian, with boulders stacked into “stone folds,” caves, and stone gates. Its summit offers views over Ershibadu and the Xianxia mountain range.
Mount Fugai lies south of Ershibadu Town, on the border between Zhejiang and Fujian. The mountain is made of granite, and its boulders are stacked in layers to form stone folds, caves, and stone gates. According to legend, a huge boulder on the summit “floats over it like a canopy,” which gave the mountain its name. There are ancient temple ruins on the mountain, and from the top you can look out over the ancient town of Ershibadu and the Xianxia Ridge mountains. The hiking trail takes about 3 to 4 hours round trip, and some sections are steep, so wear non-slip shoes. The scenic area is lightly developed, and admission and opening arrangements are subject to local announcements. Most visitors stay overnight in Ershibadu and climb the mountain the next morning.
