Things to do in Jiaoling

You should go to this slightly colder attraction during the National Day holiday. The scenery is not bad at all, but you don't have to queue up. It's comfortable, the water is clear, the wind is gentle, parking is convenient, and the price is not expensive. You can eat at the roadside farmhouse, and the chicken, fish and vegetables are delicious.

Visiting at the end of the year, avoiding peak season, meant fewer crowds. The overall environment was decent, and the prices and amenities were acceptable. The teahouse was comfortable to sit in and drink tea, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Food prices were reasonable, and the portions were generous. Taking the shuttle bus within the scenic area felt a bit expensive, especially in the heat. As a scenic area, it's actually quite nice for a casual stroll, but it falls short of being a 5A-level tourist attraction.

Rafting Early Bird Ticket Superb ￥99/person The rafting scenic area is full of mountains and waters, as if you are in a fairyland. The water is turbulent and exciting, but safe and reliable. The service is thoughtful and enthusiastic, making people feel comfortable. Here, I feel the charm and fun of nature, and I strongly recommend it to every traveler who loves adventure! It's quite exciting! I shouted all the way! My voice was hoarse.

It's definitely worth a visit. I've been several times and recommended it to friends. It has a rich historical and cultural atmosphere, and there are many places to eat, all featuring local Xiamen specialties.

Visiting the Zhonggu Cableway in early October, with its clear skies and gentle breezes, offered the perfect opportunity to experience the breathtaking aerial views, far removed from the sweltering heat of midsummer. The Zhonggu Cableway traverses the Wanshi Mountain forest, and the gentle ascent in the cable car provides a unique and immersive experience, offering panoramic views of Xiamen from above. The cable car cabins are open-plan, offering unobstructed views. As the cable car slowly ascends, lush subtropical forests line both sides, their verdant foliage and fresh mountain air filling the air. With each ascent, the view gradually expands, revealing the verdant Zhonggu Mountain range nearby, and in the distance, the red-tiled roofs of Xiamen's old town, along with the high-rise buildings and the bay, unfolding in a harmonious tapestry. Reaching the highest point, one can gaze upon Gulangyu Island and the boundless sea, taking in the panoramic view of the city, mountains, and azure ocean blending seamlessly into a breathtaking panorama. The entire journey takes approximately forty minutes one way, with a smooth and leisurely ride, ideal for savoring the scenery at a leisurely pace. Along the way, you'll see towering boulders in the valleys and forest trails, with constantly changing mountain scenery from different angles.

Sitting in the cable car, with the mountain breeze in your ears and overlooking the entire city, you'll feel incredibly relaxed. The Zhonggu Cableway is more than just a transportation route; it's a window into the panoramic view of Xiamen's mountains and sea.
