[2025 Xiapu Stay] Travel Guide for Holiday Inn Imperial View (Updated Mar)

Hey friends😎, has a song ever made you yearn for a place where mountains meet the sea, a place full of mystery and charm, so much so that you wanted to experience its unique magic immediately? That's exactly what happened to me with the song "Light of Ningde." The lyrics, "Ningde's mountains and seas, how many wonders are hidden? Taimu Mountain stands tall, Sandu'ao vast and boundless, the morning mist of Yangjia Creek, dreamlike and illusory, the clear stream of Huotong Creek, flowing gently," along with the melodious tune, transported me to Ningde's fantastic peaks, strange rocks, and blue seas. It inspired me to embark on a journey to explore eastern Fujian. So, in March, I set foot on this vibrant land. Check out my travel guide! Ningde, located in the northeastern part of Fujian Province, is a city🎉 with beautiful natural scenery and a rich cultural heritage. In March, the chill of winter fades away in Ningde, replaced by a gentle warmth. Spring flowers bloom in the mountains, a soft sea breeze blows along the coast, and ancient villages stand against the backdrop of magnificent mountains and seas. Every corner exudes a captivating charm. ✈️【Transportation Guide】 If you're flying, you can arrive at Fuzhou Changle International Airport or Wenzhou Longwan International Airport and then take a high-speed train to Ningde.
