Yangjiaxi Scenic Area
杨家溪
A stream scenic area in northern Xiapu, where ancient banyan trees grow alongside large maple groves. Bamboo rafts ply the stream, and the red maple leaves in autumn and winter are stunning.
Yangjiaxi lies in Yacheng Town, Xiapu, where the stream is clear and maple forests line both banks. In the Banyan and Maple Park, ancient banyans grow intertwined with maples that are several hundred years old. In autumn and winter (roughly November to December) the maple leaves turn red, a rare sight in Fujian. You can take bamboo-raft rides on the stream. There is also the Chunxi ancient village and a "Fisherman at Dawn" photo spot, where mist rises in the early morning and herd boys and cattle often appear in photographs. Tickets are sold on site. A visit takes about two hours. It is about 40 km from the county town, so you need a car or a hired vehicle.
