Located in Fuding, Fujian province, Taimu Mountain is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Its main peak, Fuding Peak, rises to 917 meters. Composed of Cretaceous granite, the mountain has been sculpted over time by weathering and water erosion into a distinctive landscape of forest-like clusters of peaks, stone pillars, rounded boulders and caves. With mountains rising alongside the sea and clouds and mist drifting through the landscape throughout the year, Taimu Mountain has long been celebrated as a "Fairyland on the Sea". In late autumn and early winter, its forests remain lush and green, creating a striking contrast with the fading autumn colors of northern China.
