One-day tour in Putian City | Dongzhen Reservoir | Tea tasting and scenery viewing at Banfusheng Garden

|Dongzhen Reservoir|Enjoy the tea and scenery at Banfusheng Garden.
*When going to Putian, everyone can think of Meizhou Island, but what to do in the city? Putian locals recommend Putian Dongzhen Reservoir-Banfusheng Ecological Park
Features of scenic spots in Putian City:
Banfusheng Ecological Park is next to the Dongzhen Reservoir halfway up the mountain. It is recommended to drive there by yourself. The system is relatively complete, with Banfusheng Tea Banquet (a place for making and tasting tea in the afternoon), Banfusheng Flower Sea and Garden (Chinese food specialty), and Banfusheng Parent-Child Amusement Park (children's play area). It can solve most of your day's itinerary in one go, and you don't have to worry about bringing children with you.
Travel suggestions:
Tea Banquet - Reservoir Photography - Paradise - Flower Sea - Water and Clouds. Make an appointment for afternoon tea first, go to the Slow Heart Pavilion to take photos, check in, taste tea and enjoy the scenery. The Dongzhen Reservoir at dusk is really beautiful! When you are hungry after drinking tea, you can go to dinner. Ban Fusheng mainly serves Chinese food. If you like Western food, you can eat at Ye Shenqiu downstairs (more Western and exquisite, with all kinds of cuisines, different styles~). After dinner, take a walk to "Water and Clouds" to feel the artistic conception of the bright moon on the sea (reservoir)~ It is really comfortable to cool off in summer in places with water!
Recommended dishes: Putian braised noodles (surprisingly authentic), 1:
Fish head soup (fresh), lychee meat (special must-order), steamed eel (super large and not expensive), fried Xinghua rice noodles (signature), old duck soup (from the farm's own chickens and ducks), about 100 yuan per person, delicious, really cost-effective!
There is another option if you don’t go to Shuiyunjian - go down the mountain to Shouxi Park (I will organize a separate issue about the snacks and parks in Putian later). That’s all for today. According to this, it’s enough for a day of fun on the weekend. Putian, Fujian
