Introducing Genting

China's Yunding Scenic Area is located at the junction of Yongtai County, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, and Hanjiang District, Putian City, on the summit of Qingyun Mountain, a national key scenic spot. It comprises three scenic areas: the Flower Sea Terraces Scenic Area, the Tianchi Meadow Scenic Area, and the Yunding Grand Canyon Scenic Area (including the Colorful Waterfall Alpine Flower Sea Terraces Scenic Area, the Red River Valley Scenic Area, and the Emerald Valley Scenic Area).

The Flower Sea Terrace Scenic Area is like spring all year round, with colorful flowers, swirling green and layers of mountains; the Tianchi Grassland Scenic Area consists of the volcanic Tianchi formed by volcanic eruptions hundreds of millions of years ago and the alpine meadows at an altitude of 1,100 meters; the Alpine Canyon Scenic Area is connected by "two roads and three valleys". The Colorful Waterfall Valley, Red River Valley and Emerald Valley are embedded in the cliffs and are connected by a magnificent bionic plank road. A colorful zipline with a total length of 1,000 meters and a vertical height difference of 360 meters connects the mountain top with the upper and lower canyons.
