Things to do in Yongtai

Overall, it's pretty good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We had a fantastic day at Ocean World Euro Park in Fuzhou! It was one of the highlights of our trip. The kids absolutely loved it and were smiling all day. There was so much to see and do, with plenty of attractions and entertainment for the whole family.The park was clean, well maintained, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Everything was easy to get around, and we all had a wonderful time creating special family memories.If you’re visiting Fuzhou with children, I highly recommend Ocean World Euro Park. It’s a brilliant family day out and definitely worth a visit!

Songkou Ancient Town has a history of thousands of years. Since the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been an important trade port in Fuzhou. Every day, a large number of merchant ships travel to and from Fuzhou through Dazhangxi. The current appearance of the river has undergone tremendous changes due to changes in natural conditions and artificial construction. It has lost its transportation function and there is no trace of any dock. If it were not for the explanation of the owner of the homestay, Dazhangxi on the edge of the ancient town would be regarded as an ordinary river. The ancient town retains a large number of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although the area is large, most of them are dilapidated. There are not many places to see and the attractions are very concentrated, so you can walk through it quickly. I like many ancient towns in Fujian very much, and they are even better than many well-known ancient towns in China. One of the important reasons is that the locals still live in the ancient towns and retain many original living conditions. Unlike many ancient towns in China, locals do not live there, and outsiders rent houses to operate tourist products. The folk customs here are simple, and the locals you meet are happy to chat and communicate with you. There are two or three interesting free small museums in the center of the ancient town that showcase local folk customs. They are worth a visit, especially for those who were born after the 1980s and have not experienced rural life, as they can increase their knowledge.

It's much better than Bailiangou, which is hotter and more sunny, with steeper steps (not kid-friendly, especially for the elderly), and the scenery isn't quite as scenic. Qinglong Waterfall, while farther away, offers pristine vegetation and plenty of shade from trees, keeping you cool. The one-way journey is nearly 3 kilometers, with about a 1-kilometer climb of stairs (with beautiful scenery, up and down), followed by another 400-500 meters of flat ground (tandem bicycles are available for rent), and then another 1,300 meters of stairs to Qinglong Waterfall. We had strong legs, so the round trip took two hours (we didn't visit the Red Army Cave). You can take a bamboo raft to the pool of water in front of Qinglong Waterfall. After climbing a short (slippery) flight of stairs to the waterfall, the round trip costs 8 yuan per person. The raft driver was very friendly and took photos, so I think it's worth the experience (though I heard the price goes up to 10 yuan on holidays).

The scenery was absolutely beautiful. It was the first time I'd ever seen a hot spring with this kind of terrain. There were many hot spring pools available in the afternoon, and the sky was incredibly blue. The people here were also very welcoming. I think a day trip would be perfect.

The canyon is truly stunning, the highest attraction in Yunding, with its colorful waterfalls and the Red River Valley of Emerald Valley. Every step reveals a breathtaking view! Surprisingly, it wasn't crowded even during the National Day holiday. I hope the scenic area can promote the canyon's beauty more. In comparison, Yunding Tianchi was alright, although the low visibility due to fog that day likely affected it. One suggestion for improvement is that the roadside stalls near the scenic area are mostly run by locals, which seems unhygienic. I hope one or two proper, clean restaurants can be opened within the scenic area; just one or two would be enough.

Great place to go and enjoy nature. Easily accessible from Fuzhou by car (about 1hr) or by train (Yongtai station). It’s near enough to do a day trip from Fuzhou. But plenty of accommodation in Yongtai, especially hot spring hotels, invite for a great overnight stay. The mountain park is easy to walk, with great views of waterfalls and cave passes. It is possible to walk it through in half day. But you can definitely spend a whole day as well, making stops at every view spot or just relaxing by waterfallsIdeal way of getting there is driving by yourself, however using public transport is possible too. There’s always somebody at the gate of the park who could help you arrange a transport if needed. I very much enjoyed my time there. It’s a great place, I definitely recommend.

Bailigou, Yongtai, Fuzhou is a summer resort, famous for its waterfalls. The main attractions include Baili Waterfall, Longtan Waterfall, etc. The streams are clear and the forests are lush. It is suitable for hiking and taking pictures, especially cool in summer. There are simple trails in the scenic area, which takes about 2-3 hours to play. It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes and bring drinking water. Yongtai specialties such as scallion pancakes and dried plums can be tasted nearby. The transportation is convenient, about 1.5 hours drive from Fuzhou city.

Brought the kids here, Hurricane Bay, Water Castle and Adventure Rafting are more suitable for kids, the other slides are a bit too exciting so we didn't experience them. I wanted to swim, but it was a pity that the hot spring pool was not open for maintenance, the toilet was very clean which I have to give a special thumbs up.

The kids loved it and played for hours. It was so fun. The ice cream was delicious. The bumper cars made them feel happy. The pirate ship helped them improve their physical fitness.
