I wish I had seen this guide before coming to Yandang Mountain; I only understood after arriving in Wenzhou

that exploring mountains and waters can be so enjoyable!

After reading this "Yandang Mountain Two-Day Travel Guide," you'll know exactly how to fully enjoy this "tech-savvy fairyland"!

.

🚶🏻‍♂️Recommended itinerary:

Day 1️⃣: Fangdong → Lingyan (check in at the cliff walkway + watch Lingyan Feidu + interact with the robot dog)
Day 2️⃣: Dalongqiu → Threefold Waterfall → Lingfeng (enjoy the stunning waterfall + stroll through the "Little Jiuzhaigou" + marvel at the breathtaking scenery)

.

👀 Highlights of Yandang Mountain:

✅ Dalongqiu Waterfall: This 197-meter-high waterfall looks like the Milky Way pouring down from the sky! The water roars like a white dragon as it crashes down, and the mist is super refreshing! The pool below is crystal clear and emerald green, making you fall in love at first sight!

.

👀 Must-visit spots in Fangdong Scenic Area:

✅ Cliff Walkway: This "Silver Cliff Sky Corridor" hangs halfway up Jindai Ridge, with a 200-meter-deep cliff beneath your feet. Looking up and afar, the continuous mountain ranges unfold like a painting right before your eyes!
✅ Sky Bridge: This iron chain bridge over 100 meters long spans two peaks. Walking on it is both thrilling and exciting. After rain, when clouds and mist swirl around, it feels like walking on clouds, making your heart race!
✅ Robot Dog - Yan Xiaoxia: These adorable robot dogs appear at the Sky Bridge, Cloud Café, Cliff Café, and Pingxia Pavilion. They move agilely and can interact and play with visitors!

.

👀 Must-visit spots in Lingyan Scenic Area:

✅ Xiaolongqiu Glass Walkway: Standing on the suspended glass walkway, you can overlook the emerald pool and waterfall below. On sunny days, you can often see rainbows. The "Broken Heart Cliff" from the Huang Xiaoming version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was filmed here.
✅ Lingyan Temple: This thousand-year-old ancient temple is hidden between huge cliffs. The "Square Bamboo" behind the temple is said to grant wishes if you touch it~

.

👀 Must-visit spots in Lingfeng Scenic Area:

✅ The "Fruit Box Bridge" featured in "Nirvana in Fire": The green river reflects the unique peaks, perfect for taking ancient-style photos! The river under the bridge is crystal clear and is rightly called "Little Jiuzhaigou"!
✅ Explore "Guanyin Cave": A nine-story pavilion embedded in the crack of Hezhang Peak, with incense smoke curling, as sacred as a palace in the sky!
✅ Visit Beidou Cave: Nature’s miraculous creation is truly amazing!
✅ Lingfeng Night View opens after 18:30! Under the moonlight, the peaks transform into shapes like "Husband and Wife Peaks" and "Rhino Gazing at the Moon," creating a poetic atmosphere!

.

👀 Threefold Waterfall: A hidden three-tier waterfall deep inside

✅ If you have good stamina, you can challenge the upper waterfall. It’s less crowded and peaceful here but requires a 30-minute uphill hike; comparatively, the middle waterfall has more scenic spots and is easier to explore!

⭐ Tips:

① About transportation:
🚅 Take the high-speed train to "Yandangshan Station." Upon exit, you can take a free shuttle bus directly to the Yandang Mountain Visitor Center, where you can transfer to scenic area shuttle buses to enter various scenic spots!
🚗 For self-driving, just navigate to the attractions. Except for Lingfeng Scenic Area, parking is generally free at other spots!

② About accommodation:
Recommended to stay in the "Xianglingtou Village" homestay area, with prices under 100 yuan per person. It’s very convenient to walk to Lingfeng Scenic Area, and dining options nearby are also very convenient!

③ Note on shuttle buses between Fangdong and Lingyan ⚠️:
After taking the shuttle bus to Lingyan Station, you need to transfer to a minibus to Fangdong (10 yuan/person). Then you can tour downhill along the mountain road~

④ After taking the shuttle bus to Lingfeng Station, you still need to walk about 10 minutes to enter the scenic area!
