The Pearl of the Highlands

Zhouning is home to lush peaks, meandering rivers, and a poetic landscape that makes it an appealing tourist haven. The region enjoys exceptionally rich natural beauty and tourism resources. The Jiulongji Waterfall Cluster is grand and imposing, earning recognition as one of the province's first top ten scenic areas. The Carp Stream captivates visitors as sacred fish play in the water, creating a delightful scene of harmony between humans and fish. The Dripping Rock formation, where water droplets plunge like pearls and jade and wear away the stone over time, was historically known as the “Foremost Scenic Wonder of Fujian.” The upcoming high-altitude artificial lake with a capacity of 320 million cubic meters is equally captivating. Ancient temples such as the Lingfeng Temple and Fangguang Temple, nestled deep in the mountains, are renowned far and wide... With an average elevation of 800 meters across the county and a county seat altitude of 888 meters (the highest in the province), Zhouning enjoys mild winters and cool summers, with daytime temperatures averaging just 24 degrees Celsius even in peak summer—earning it the reputation of a “natural air-conditioned city.” It’s an ideal destination for travel, vacation, and summer retreat.
