The location of China's territory is very similar, and it is known as Xiamen's "Tibet".

It is located in the hinterland of the Yundingshan Mountains at the junction of Tongan Lianhua, Quanzhou Anxi, and Zhangzhou Changtai, with an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters. Because it is located deep in the mountains, the folk customs are simple. The villages are scattered in a canyon in a straight line.
When you go to Xikeng, you must climb to the top of the mountain on the back of the village to see all the beautiful scenery of Xikeng. The best places to take pictures of the scenery are the top of the mountain behind the village and the downhill road before entering the village.

The age of Cynophylla can be traced back to the age of dinosaurs, hundreds of millions of years ago, and it is a living fossil among plants.

Tong'an Bus Station is 42 kilometers away from Xikeng Village and takes about an hour. Route: Tong'an - Lotus—Shangling Work Area—Military Camp (direction)—Baijiao Temple—Xikeng.
