Magushan in Fuzhou: A Millennium Secret Realm of Immortal Charm, Encounter the Legend of the "Goddess of the East"! ?

Magushan, located in Nancheng County, Fuzhou City, is one of the "Thirty-Six Caves of Heaven" in Taoism. Known for its "immortal mountain, strange stones, ancient temples, and misty clouds," it is hailed as the "Number One Immortal Mountain in the World"! This place is filled with mystery due to the legend of "Magu Offering Longevity," combining the beauty of Jiangnan's landscape with the profoundness of Taoist culture. It is especially suitable for weekend escapes, cultural check-ins, or family trips! 🌿

Recommended Route: A Dual Experience of Culture + Nature 🚶‍♀️🌉

Morning: Take the sightseeing bus from the scenic area entrance to Xiandu Temple, a Taoist temple founded in the Tang Dynasty and the core attraction of Magushan. Visit the Sanqing Hall and Magu Hall to feel the solemnity and mystery of Taoist culture. Then hike up to Yulian Shuangfei, where two waterfalls cascade down the cliff like two jade ribbons dancing, with the roar of water resembling the entrance to a fairyland! 💦

Afternoon: Stroll along the Xiantan Trail, a roughly 2-kilometer stone path flanked by ancient towering trees and filled with birdsong and floral fragrance. Arriving at the Xiantan platform, you can overlook the entire Nancheng County with a broad and refreshing view. After descending, visit the Magushan Tea House to enjoy a cup of "Magu Tea" paired with "Nancheng Magu Rice Cake," thus beginning a culinary journey through Fuzhou! 🍵

Experience Highlights: Soul Cleansing + Taste Bud Feast, so healing! 😌🎶

At Xiandu Temple, I seemed to hear the bells of a thousand-year-old Taoism, with incense swirling around, calming my whole being as if all worries were blown away by the mountain breeze. 🌬️ Standing before Yulian Shuangfei, the splashing water cools the face and refreshes the heart, evoking a feeling of "dialogue with nature" that makes you want to shout out loud!
