    This is my second time in Fujian. I didn’t come here last time when I came with local friends because I thought it was just a pile of dirt and they didn’t want to bring me here. This time I can finally come here on my own. The buildings are so unique, so great!

    Love it here! Very ancient charm. I really like it. Introduced by a friend, the network did not have much introduction, not found by too many friends, it is very casual, mainly a balcony, spacious and comfortable, can be touched by the sun to the room will not be too bad. Very close to the attractions, many live broadcasts, the reality is a bit big, friends recognize the place, I think it must be very good!

    We happened to be having a discount on tickets for the scenic area, and Louwang lived up to its reputation. We first climbed to the top of the observation deck and then walked down, which took some effort. Turning right was actually a flat and easy road. The square at Louwang was full of people selling tickets and giving tours. I guess the prices were quite steep, and the arguments there really affected the reputation of the scenic area.

    Visited on 26 Feb from Yunshuiyao. The blooms can be seen from the bridge while we were walking towards the park. Pleasantly surprised that the park was similar to the pictures seen on the web. There is limited food options in the park and is best to pack your own food/snacks if you have dietary restrictions. There are 2 scenic trains which are payable. However, the whole park is walkable so we skipped the trains. Started the stroll from the right, past the tea house and towards the elevated viewpoint. Finished the park by completing the circular route.Worth to visit.
