Mount Jinrao

Mount Jinrao is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

Originally named Mount Dalì and also known as Mount Taiyi, Mount Jinrao is located within the territories of Taining County and Jianning County in Fujian Province. With an elevation of 1,858 meters, it ranks as the second highest peak in Southeast China, only surpassed by Taiwan’s Yushan and the Huanggang Peak of the Wuyi Mountains. It is often hailed as “the most exquisite summit rising in the southeast.” The name stems from a legend that King Wúzhū of the Minyue Kingdom once hunted here and lost a golden gong.

Stretching over 300 li, Mount Jinrao comprises 84 peaks, each rugged and steep. Its main peak, Baishiding, divides the mountain into eastern and western slopes, with the eastern side featuring mostly cliffs and precipices, while the western side is marked by jagged ridges and towering peaks. Known as “the first peak of Fujian,” it rises 1,858 meters above sea level. The scenic area is home to the highest-altitude and longest (2.1 km) cable car in Fujian Province, the highest-altitude time tunnel, the province's most distinctive skywalk, the country’s only alpine train outside of Alishan in Taiwan, as well as Fujian’s only high-mountain outdoor ski resort. From the summit, visitors can gaze upon Jianing, Taining, Ninghua, and Mingxi in northwestern Fujian, as well as the Golden Lake, the largest artificial lake in the province.

Mount Jinrao is a natural oxygen reservoir, with negative oxygen ion levels reaching 50,000 per cubic centimeter. The verdant mountains and clear waters blend seamlessly, making it an ideal destination for travel, leisure, fitness, and scientific research.
