Caixi Rock
菜溪岩
A provincial scenic area in the northwest mountains of Xianyou, where giant boulders, gorges, streams and temples meet. It is a good place to escape the summer heat.
Caixi Rock is in Shicang Township, Xianyou County. It is a provincial scenic area known for granite boulders, gorges, streams and a series of waterfalls. The mountain has an old temple and rock carvings on its cliffs, and its dense vegetation keeps it cooler than the city in summer. The trails are long, and a full loop takes about 3 hours. It is about 70 km from Putian city centre and best reached by car. Consider visiting Jiuli Lake on another day, or choosing just one of the two sites.
