Few people post about the sunrise at Qiguanding, so let me do it!

I drove from Wenzhou to Qiguanding at midnight 🚗 There was no need to climb the 1800 steps, I took a shortcut by car It took about 20 minutes to hike up the mountain ⛰️ at 5:30 am and easily reached the summit I saw the sunrise I wanted to see, the only downside was that the wind was really too strong It was not friendly to my hair This hidden gem in a small fishing village in Fujian 🌊 The Chinese version of Rio de Janeiro - Qida Village The moment you climb Qiguanding is a blend of mountains and sea, a breathtaking view 💕💕 . 📍Qida Village, Lianjiang County - known as the Chinese version of Rio de Janeiro ⛰The best viewing angle of Qida Village is right next to Baiyun Mountain's Qiguanding There are two options for going up the mountain, you can walk more than 1000 steps, or you can drive to the parking lot near Baiyun Temple and walk up from there~ We chose the latter, which is also the less strenuous route~ 🎫Ticket: Free🆓 . 🚗Navigate to Baiyun Temple, the road is a winding mountain road, don't doubt and keep driving past the yellow archway with the Baiyun Temple sign, continue driving inside is a gravel road (the other side of the fork in the road is Baiyun Temple which is still under construction), keep driving along the gravel road! Until you reach a platform where you can see windmills and park, you can choose to stop here, and if there are not many cars, you can drive a little further up. We drove to the end of the gravel road when we went, and there was a gate that only allowed walking, maybe it will be open in the future~ After getting out of the car, it takes about half an hour to walk to Qiguanding, but this gravel road is relatively flat without steps, it's very easy to stroll to the top! . 🚩Photo spots at Qiguanding 📷 1️⃣The highest Qiguanding has a red flag, not far from the pavilion, you can take photos of the bay and windmills at the top, the sunrise here did not disappoint me! 2️⃣The most beautiful spot is down the steps from Qiguanding to the end of the mountain where there are many large rocks, in an instant the beauty is breathtaking~~🎈You can overlook the entire panorama of Qida Village, and you get the feeling of Rio de Janeiro🌊 3️⃣Standing at the end of more than 1000 steps, you can take an overhead shot of people and the full view of the fishing village, which is a more everyday spot suitable for sisters who are afraid of heights~ 4️⃣Walking forward from the Qiguanding kiosk, there is a stone that says 'Peace is a blessing', going down you can take photos of Qida Village sandwiched between two mountains, the angle is also very unique~ 5️⃣There are many scenic spots on the way, the platform near the end of the gravel road can take photos of the windmills and sea view behind, it's like being transported into a Miyazaki anime in a second~ ⚠️Safety first when taking photos, some places have quite slippery stones. . 🍳Food recommendations: 1⃣️Fish noodles, fish balls, oyster pancakes 2⃣️Various seafood! Abalone, mantis shrimp, oysters, razor clams Accommodation in Qida Village Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel There are few hotels near Qida Village, we chose a nearby star-rated sea view hotel (it has floor-to-ceiling windows + sea view room, wake up in the morning and open the curtains to see the sunrise. Just a few dozen meters downstairs is the beach, very quiet and comfortable. The hotel has a seafood restaurant, the prices are very reasonable, you can go with confidence!
