Beichen Mountain
北辰山
A mountain and water scenic area in Tong’an District, known for the Twelve Dragon Pools waterfall cascade and Guangli Temple. It's a cool summer escape and a popular day trip off Xiamen Island.
Beichen Mountain is in Wuxian Town, Tong’an District, at about 500 meters above sea level. Its main highlight is the Twelve Dragon Pools waterfall cascade, where streams tumble down the valley, forming multi-tiered falls and pools that stay refreshingly cool in summer. The mountain also has Guangli Temple and viewing platforms. Entrance fee about ¥30. The water flow is best in the rainy season. Driving is the main way to get there, and it can be combined with Tong’an Old Town and Fantian Temple.
