Qinyuan Mountain

Reviewed By pltrave - Singapore, Singapore

Good to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and be with nature. It is an easy and short local bus (1 yuan) ride from downtown Quanzhou to the park entrance. Use Baidu map to check how and which bus to take to get there. The park entrance ticket is 70 yuan. Note that the hike is medium difficulty and the path is well maintained. Good to go in the morning. I walked all the way to the Statues of the 3 Buddha. Prepare to spend about 3 hours. You will be rewarded with beautiful scenery of Quanzhou from this mountain and a great well maintained nature trail. Some key recommended attractions are: - Laojun rock - Stupa of Master Hongyi - Mituo Rock and Temple - Statues of the 3 Buddha - Thousand hands temple
