Finally, I have climbed to the top of Dongfang Rio de Janeiro and encountered the stunning mountains and seas
If you can't go to Rio de Janeiro, then come to Fuzhou's Dongfang Rio instead~
The scenery is absolutely no less than abroad 😭
It can be said that it must have a place among the niche tourist attractions in China
There are hardly any people now, and the number of tourists is super low
The key point is that this is not a photo deception‼️
The reality feels even more beautiful than the pictures
.
📍Address: Qiguanding, Lianjiang County, Fujian
🎫Ticket: Free
🚗Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself, about 1h drive from the high-speed rail station
.
The sea here is really super blue, the photos look great without any editing, and there are so many angles to take pictures from. Overlooking the entire Qida Village from the top of the mountain is very spectacular~
.
🧗🏻♂️How to reach the summit
There are many ways mentioned online, but it all comes down to two methods
1️⃣Navigate directly to 'Qiguanding', there is a large stone monument at the foot of the mountain, next to which is the path to climb the mountain, it takes about 40 minutes to reach the top, simple and effective
2️⃣After navigating to Qiguanding, continue driving upwards, there are mountain roads and dirt roads, keep driving to the city wall arch. Then start walking for 20 minutes. (It is recommended to climb the mountain directly using the first method)
3️⃣The stranded boat in Ha Sha Village
The recently popular shipwreck spot
Lianjiang's version of 'Bruwes'
The atmosphere is full when the tide is out!
.

2⃣️Various seafood! Abalone, mantis shrimp, oysters, razor clams
Accommodation in Qida Village
Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel
There are very few hotels near Qida Village, I personally pay more attention to hygiene and comfort, so I chose a nearby star-rated sea view hotel (it is a floor-to-ceiling window sea view room, you can see the sunrise when you wake up in the morning and open the curtains.
Just walk a few dozen meters downstairs to reach the beach, it's very quiet and comfortable. There is a seafood restaurant in the scenic area that is affiliated with the hotel, the prices are very reasonable, you can go there with confidence!

🌟Travel Tips
1️⃣For photography, you must choose a good weather, so you can see the blue sea. If it's cloudy and foggy, you won't be able to capture anything
2️⃣It is definitely recommended to drive by yourself, as transportation is really inconvenient, and it's hard to get a taxi in remote areas
3️⃣The top of the mountain is quite steep, so be sure to pay attention to safety when taking photos, as many places do not have railings, so be careful
Fuzhou | Qida Village, the Fujian version of Rio de Janeiro is truly beautiful
| Qida Village, the Fujian version of Rio de Janeiro is truly beautiful.📍Located at Qiguan Top, Qida Village, Lianjiang County, Fuzhou City
📍Free
❇️Ways to go up the mountain
1⃣️At the foot of the mountain, park for free at the Qiguan Top stone stele, then climb 1800 steps up the mountain
✅Suitable for young people with good physical strength, take photos while climbing, and you can encounter more surprises
2️⃣Carpool or take a motorcycle taxi near the mountain entrance, the price is about 20-50, especially taking a motorcycle taxi, which can save time queuing up the mountain during peak hours
✅Motorcycle taxis are more suitable for 1-2 people going up the mountain together, not cost-effective for more people, and it doesn't look very safe
3️⃣Drive to the bottom of the Qiguan Top wall
✅After taking a motorcycle taxi or driving to the wall, you need to walk along a low wall similar to the Great Wall for more than 1 kilometer to reach the Jiuxian Jun Temple, climb up the small dirt slope on the right side of the temple, walk a short distance forward and you will encounter steps, walk down the steps, the pavilion and red wishing plaques are the popular photo spots, walking up leads to a broader view
✅Driving up the mountain, the mountain road has eighteen bends, not easy to navigate, the last 1 kilometer to the wall is a dirt road with stones, bumpy, and difficult for cars with low chassis
✅Self-driving during peak times will encounter 4 or 5 vehicle control points, vehicles have to queue up to go up the mountain, and only when cars come down can an equivalent number of cars go up, the waiting time is very long (but once you get up there, you'll find that there aren't so many cars that a few more couldn't be accommodated)
‼️Tips‼️
▶️Be sure to go on a sunny day❗The mountain roads are difficult in rainy weather and the photo effects are much worse❗
▶️The popular photo spot is located on the edge of a cliff, be cautious⚠️ and ensure safety, those who are afraid of heights (like myself) are advised not to get too close, it's not necessary to take the risk, but personal safety is a must
▶️Whether at the foot of the mountain, halfway up, or at the top, parking is free🅿️, during holidays and peak times, besides taking a motorcycle taxi, the time spent driving around the mountain (including traffic control queuing) and walking up the stairs feels about the same
▶️When you reach the control point in front of the Guanyin Temple, do not listen to the security guard and park on the spot, the 1 kilometer-plus mountain road is not long, but the dust is particularly heavy,
when other vehicles pass by, pedestrians can get a mouthful of dust, be sure to drive to the bottom of the wall (the arch in the upper right corner of picture 5)
▶️Naturally, the prices on the mountain are higher than at the foot of the mountain (e.g., tea eggs 4 yuan each, grilled sausages 10 yuan each), you can bring a small amount of water and snacks (there's not much to do at the top of the mountain, 1-2 hours for taking photos and resting is enough)
▶️The wind is strong on the mountain and it's sunny, be prepared for wind, sun protection, and insect prevention
🍳Food recommendations:
1⃣️Fish noodles, fish balls, oyster pancakes, the seafood beef hotpot in the hotel is also great.
Accommodation in Qida Village
Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel
There are few hotels near Qida Village, for a family trip, this time we chose a nearby high-end sea view hotel (it has floor-to-ceiling windows + sea view rooms, wake up in the morning and open the curtains to see the sunrise).

Fujian version of Rio de Janeiro | Seeing the mountains and seas in my dreams
My family, have you started looking forward to the summer of 2024 recently?
If you want to go to the beach, don't miss Qida Village! It is definitely a treasure trove of less popular and beautiful scenery, known as the "Fujian version of Rio de Janeiro". My best friend and I just came back from there, it's really beautiful, I want to share it with you right now!!
We drove from Quzhou Jiangshan, arrived in Lianjiang County, Fuzhou at four or five in the afternoon, and stayed here at night. The next day we woke up and set off for Qida Village, and the scenery along the way was also beautiful. If you don't have a car, you can take a high-speed train or bus from nearby cities such as Fuzhou, Xiamen, and Wenzhou. The transportation is quite convenient.
There are two routes to the mountain:
Walk up 1800 steps.
The locals will take you up in an SUV, 20 per person for carpooling. We are a small car, afraid of scratching the car, and the road is not good, so we did not choose this way, if your own home is an SUV, you can drive up, but you have to return the same way.
We took a local car up, and we were shocked when we arrived, it was so beautiful! It is recommended to climb to the top of the mountain, the scenery is really worth seeing, I really like to see the sea, white clouds, snow, it's really healing!! Looking down from the top of the mountain, I really feel that my depressed mood has been released, it's so cool!!
After climbing the mountain, we went to Huangqi Beach around 4 pm, just in time for the ebb tide, you can catch crabs, squids and so on. And there are very few people here, you can also walk in, experience the feeling of a deserted beach vacation. Both attractions are free, I highly recommend it to everyone!
The attractions here are free, not as commercialized as Zhoushan, and the locals are very enthusiastic❤️. And there are not many people on the beach, the water is very clean, you can clearly see the fish and shrimp crabs in the sea, it's so cool!
Accommodation recommendation: A few kilometers from Lianjiang to Qida Village, there is a Ruolin Resort Hotel, only spent 288 for a room, the front desk let us upgrade to a sea view room, we played for two days, the next morning we went to see the sunrise at sea🌄, and went to Pingliuwei Geological Park, I will write another note to share later. In general, Qida Village is a very niche, original attraction, very suitable for weekends or small holidays to relax!
My family, I highly recommend you to go to Qida Village, you will definitely not regret it if you go!!
Revealing moment, the most hidden niche travel destination in China, will make you linger!
Dear ones, do you know? At the beginning of this year, I set foot in Pingliuwei, Fujian, where the sea view is simply breathtaking! Since then, I have deeply fallen in love with this unique and mysterious seaside resort.
Easily find Pingliuwei Geological Park, and there are free parking spaces waiting for you to park. Just a 20-30 minute drive, you can reach this fairyland on earth. If you stay at the Ruolin Hotel in Dinghai Bay, you are also a 20-minute drive from other attractions.
The ticket is only 30 yuan per person, and you can enjoy the magnificent view of the sea erosion platform and reefs. Standing on the reef, with the sea as the background, or sitting on the reef, every place can make you easily take atmospheric photos!
At sunset, the sky and the sea will present a charming orange-red tone, which is extremely romantic. In order not to miss this dreamy moment, remember to reserve enough time.
At the Ruolin Hotel in Dinghai Bay, you can enjoy the invincible sea view and let the beautiful scenery accompany you to sleep. And the food in the restaurant is even more memorable, especially if you have a Cantonese taste, you will definitely fall in love with the food here.
In short, Pingliuwei Geological Park is an excellent photo spot and holiday paradise. I believe you will definitely have an unforgettable holiday there!
Family, what are you waiting for? Come and experience this unique travel charm! You will definitely not be disappointed!

🚗For the first half of the ascent to Qiguandian, there is a winding road up the side of the mountain. If you're driving, you can navigate directly to Baiyun Temple. After a ten-minute drive, you'll reach a parking lot halfway up the mountain. Get out of the car, pass through the stone archway, and there's a path like the Great Wall. A 25-minute walk will get you there 😍😍😍
If you're not driving but still want to take a vehicle up the mountain, there are many taxis at the foot of the mountain. Just ask for the price, and generally, sharing a taxi to the halfway point costs about 20 yuan per person.
⚠️Please be careful when taking photos 😶
🏠Accommodation & 🍜Cuisine: You can stay at Dinghai Bay, where the Ruolin Hotel is fully equipped. Dinghai Bay has well-maintained beach facilities, and other scenic spots are a 15-30 minute drive away. The hotel also has a restaurant with decent Min and Cantonese cuisine, quite distinctive 👍
☀️Weather: Sunny or cloudy weather is better for photography, so remember to check the weather forecast in advance if you're planning to visit 😘😘😘
Haizi said, 'When you come to this world, you should see the sun.' Unknowingly, it's already April, and the weather is gradually warming up. Everyone can go out and have fun during the break, and those who are busy can follow me, and I'll show you the scenery 🌈🌈🌈

Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
The crown of the flag at the Rio de Janeiro version in Fujian
Fuzhou - Flag Crown Peak - Qida Village
❇️ Take a ride in the morning (almost 150) directly to the Flag Crown Peak (the journey is almost 2 hours), due to traffic control, you can only walk up from the bottom of the mountain
Note: Normally it takes 1 hour to reach the top, the official information is 1800 steps, but you can go up according to your own physical strength
1️⃣ Lightly equipped for climbing, it is recommended to bring your own trekking poles, as it is easy to injure your knees when descending (the descent takes about 40 minutes)
2️⃣ You can replenish some food and water before climbing, or you can buy them on the way up, less than 10💰
3️⃣ The wind is very strong, it is recommended not to wear short skirts; it is very sunny on clear days, pay attention to sun protection; wear anti-slip and lightweight shoes, there are many sloped large rocks on the top
❇️ After descending the mountain, when you see the sign for the restroom, you can walk into Qida Village, where there is an observation deck, and further inside you can see Dahuyu with many ⛵, there is not much to eat in the village, there is a larger supermarket, inside there is a Hao Zailai Noodle Restaurant, many people go there to eat, the taste is okay, and the price is cheap, the seafood is quite fresh, but the sanitary condition in the store is limited, there are many flies (objectively speaking: after all, it is a village that the government doesn't manage much, there is a lot of garbage by the sea near the village, and the toilets are outrageously dirty)
❇️ Return trip: It's best to catch a ride, if not, go to the nearby parking lot to wait for the bus (to Lianjiang Bus Station, normally 15💰, but the ticket seller may ask for 20💰 during the National Day period, and the time is not fixed), then take the high-speed train - Fuzhou (12💰)
