Yantai Mountain Park

Yantai Mountain was once called "the World Museum of architecture" by scholars. As one of the landmarks of Fuzhou, Pingshan park is also known as "the lung of Rongcheng". Yantai Mountain Park, with a small area, is a park rarely visited by people in Fuzhou, so it is very quiet. There are rockery, small ponds, and smoke mounds used to alarm during the Yuan Dynasty. In ancient times, plum blossoms were planted from Meiwu to chengputou, which was called "Qionghua Jade Island", so it was called Meiwu for short. According to the local records, "Meiling winter sunny" is one of the ten scenic spots in Nantai. Xu Tong's poem Tengshan GUANMEI in the Ming Dynasty has a good saying that "ten li flowers are the city, and a thousand families are the forest of jade". In Ming Dynasty, Xie Zhaozhi and Cao Xuequan also had the poem "watching plum on Tengshan". Every year at the turn of winter and spring, the mountain is fragrant. People from the city come here to enjoy the plum blossoms. Most of them rest in Mingzhen nunnery (the site is at the entrance of today's Yantai Mountain Park). From the south end of Zhongzhou, we can see Meiwu from afar, like a sea of snow. Today's "Plum Blossom Road" is named after this.

At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Meilin was destroyed by war, and the mountain became barren, with grass everywhere and thorns. It became a park in 1965. The park covers an area of 2 hectares, with broad stone steps at the gate and stone lions. There are rockery, fountain, flower bed, bonsai, swimming pool, light court, gallery, reading room, etc. Stone chairs and tables are decorated with elegant layout. There are some famous trees in the lane, such as banyan, camphor, kapok, Wutong, American pine and South Korean cedar. A few years ago, more than 100 plum trees were planted in the park, and a beautiful plum viewing pavilion was built to rebuild the population Department of the park and expand the scale of the park.

When you enter Yantai Mountain Park, you will see a round fountain. There is a rockery in the pool. On the rockery, there are green ancient banyan, glass pavilion, Feiliu waterfall, and a few naughty monkeys. They are more interesting to jump. Around the fountain, walk south, through a quiet small square, winding up along the vermilion Pavilion. Next to the grotesque Taihu stone, there is a small and exquisite plum viewing Pavilion. There are hundreds of plum trees beside the pavilion. Every winter, the red plum is smiling, the snow plum is covered with frost, and the wintersweet is blooming. This is a glimpse of the beauty of plum blossoms in ancient times.
