Yundongyan
云洞岩
A rocky mountain east of Zhangzhou city, with caves, rock formations and more than 200 cliff inscriptions. It is known as the “First Cave Heaven of Southern Fujian.”
Yundongyan sits on Hening Mountain in Longwen District, Zhangzhou. The mountain is made of granite boulders piled on top of one another. Along the trail, you can squeeze through stone caves and gaps between the rocks. More than 200 cliff inscriptions from the Tang and Song dynasties and later periods line the path. From the summit you can look out over the Jiulong River plain and the urban area of Zhangzhou. The round trip to the summit takes about 2 hours, and the stone steps are steep, so wear non-slip shoes. It is about 12 kilometers from the Zhangzhou Old Town, a 20-minute taxi ride.
