Fuding Suffering is Over, Really Don't Recommend Coming in June

🌟 Fuding · June's Symphony of Mountains, Seas, and Culinary Delights 🌟
Fuding in northeastern Fujian is a magical town that blends "ethereal charm" with "earthly vibes"🏔️—on one side, the sea of clouds at Taimu Mountain flows through your fingertips, while on the other, the sizzling charcoal-grilled oysters on Shihu Seafood Street tantalize your senses!

🚗【Two Days of Ultimate Fun · The Tug-of-War Between Scenery and Food】
Day 1: Mystical Mountain Adventure + Seafood Feast
🌅 Morning: Rush into Taimu Mountain to become a "cloud catcher"! Take the scenic shuttle straight to the "Fairyland by the Sea" viewing platform🌊, where granite peaks loom in the mist, and the koi in Jiuli Lake are as plump as underwater Samoyeds🐟～Don’t forget to wear Hanfu—the stained-glass windows filter sunlight into rainbows🌈, giving your photos an immortal aura!
🌞 Noon: Grab a bowl of Fuding sliced pork🍜 at the mountain’s base, watching the chef "scrape" out pink, tender slices, with a spicy-sour broth and yellow pepper sauce that’ll make your scalp tingle! In the afternoon, squeeze through the One-Line Sky crevice (included in the Taimu Mountain ticket), sidling through a 30cm gap while marveling at the "skyline" light show🪄～
🌌 Evening: Head to Shihu Seafood Street to become the "Midnight Snack Warrior"! Charcoal-grilled scallops drenched in garlic🔥, sea urchin steamed eggs softer than pudding—stuff yourself for just ¥80 per person. Stay overnight at Yurun Bayview Hotel, where your sea-view balcony overlooks fishing boats, and soak in a white tea bath🛁～

Day 2: Island Escapade + Tea Therapy
🏝 Morning: Take a boat to Yushan Island (¥85), where endless meadows resemble a Windows desktop🌱, and tiny crabs hide in the reeds by Tianhu Lake🦀! Rent an e-bike (¥50/hour) to circle the island and snap photos under the lighthouse, just like in "Kikujiro's Summer"📸～
🍵 Noon: Sip cold-brewed white tea🍃 on the island, paired with crispy seaweed cakes! In the afternoon, play "tea detective" at Diantou Town Tea Market, sampling Baihao Yinzhen tea that tastes like mountain spring water💦—buy tea cakes as souvenirs, with free shipping!
🌃 Evening: Raid Tongshanxi Snack Street for midnight treats! Honey-glazed wings with a spicy kick🍗, Jiuwen buns bursting with bamboo shoot and meat filling—stuff yourself for ¥5 each until you’re a "full-bellied girl"～Stay at Dahuang Cloud Star Camp, where dome tents offer fireflies and a sky full of stars✨～

🔥【Must-Visit Spots · No Regrets】
Taimu Mountain (7:00-17:00｜¥130, includes shuttle)
Highlights: Granite maze, Jiuli Lake reflections, One-Line Sky challenge
Pro tip: Visit the viewing platform on sunny mornings for clouds, and bring a flashlight for Hulu Cave🔦～
Yushan Island (8:30-16:00｜¥47 for boat + Tianhu Scenic Area)
Must-do: Meadow hikes—wildflowers bloom May-August like Monet’s garden. Early boats are less crowded!
Shihu Seafood Street (17:00-2:00)
Try Yirong Stall’s "spicy jellyfish"—so crispy the owner teaches you how to stir-fry it without turning soggy～
Gardenia Flower Fields (June only! Free at Paitou Village, Guanling Town)
Immersive Hanfu and flower-pinning, DIY ancient-style soap—the fragrance rivals Jo Malone!
Diantou Tea Market (8:00-18:00)
Free tastings of three white teas: Baimudan (orchid scent), Shoumei (date aroma), with free shipping for orders over ¥200～

🏨【Accommodation · Sea Views vs. Wilderness】
Yurun Bayview Hotel: Infinity pool for "sea-meets-sky" photos, fresh oysters at breakfast, but elevators take 10 minutes😵～
Dahuang Cloud Star Camp: Air-conditioned tents with projectors, hot white tea at night, but WiFi’s as unreliable as a kite🪁～

🚌【Transport Tips】
To Taimu Mountain: Take the tourist shuttle (¥25/person). To Yushan Island: Board at Yujing Pier🚢
For food streets, take taxis (¥6 starting fare). To Tongshanxi, take Bus 3 to "Old Station"～

😄 Highlights: Rolling in Yushan’s meadows as goats nibbled my skirt—adorable overload!
😫 Suffering: Hulu Cave’s puddles turned my sneakers into "swamp shoes"—wear Crocs!

🍖【5 Must-Try Foods】
Fuding Sliced Pork: Hand-pounded meat so bouncy it could play ping-pong🏓, in a tangy broth with seaweed～
Honey-Glazed Wings: Marinated in honey + garlic🍯, caramelized to juicy perfection—sweet-spicy heaven!
Taro Paste: Melts on your tongue🥄, topped with osmanthus sugar like a fluffy cloud～
Stir-Fried Jellyfish: Crispy in 10 seconds🌊, with yellow pepper spice—a "culinary bungee jump"!
Cold-Brewed White Tea: Baihao Yinzhen🍃, with a finish like mountain springs and green apples—perfect for June!

💰【Two-Day Budget】
Accommodation: Yurun Hotel ¥500 + Star Camp ¥400 = ¥900
Food: Seafood feast ¥120 + snacks ¥50 + tea ¥30 ≈ ¥200/day
Activities: Taimu Mountain ¥130 + Yushan Island ¥132 = ¥262
Total: Under ¥1500—a steal, especially with the gardenia fields!

💡【Tips · Heed for a Smooth Trip】
✅ Recommended: June’s gardenia festival, plump seafood, fewer crowds—a photographer’s dream!
❌ Not recommended: If you hate hiking, sun, or rustic lodgings (island homestays are basic)～

Fuding is a city that’ll fill your phone’s memory—play "runaway fairy" at Taimu Mountain by day, count fishing boats with chicken wings at dusk, and stargaze over tea in your tent at night. Like and save this guide—next time, let’s snap Hanfu pics in the gardenia fields!👇
