Baishuiyang Scenic Spot
Located in Pingnan County, Ningde City, Fujian Province, Baishuiyang Scenic Area is one of the most unique natural attractions in southeastern China. Known as the “White Water Ocean,” Baishuiyang is famous for its extraordinary geological landscape, crystal-clear water, and spectacular riverbed formations.
Often described as “a unique scene in the world and a myth in the universe,” Baishuiyang attracts visitors with its rare combination of natural rock formations, flowing water, forests, and ecological diversity. It is also part of the Yuanyangxi National Scenic Area, which includes China’s only national nature reserve dedicated to protecting mandarin ducks.
Unique Geological Landscape of Baishuiyang
The most remarkable feature of Baishuiyang Scenic Area is its unusual riverbed, which consists of a vast expanse of smooth, flat rock without sand or gravel. The naturally formed stone surface extends along the river, allowing shallow water to flow evenly across the entire area.
Under sunlight, the water reflects like countless silver waves, creating a breathtaking white landscape. This unique appearance is the reason the area is called “Baishuiyang,” meaning “White Water Ocean.”
The shallow river water is usually only ankle-deep, making it possible for visitors to walk directly across the natural stone platform and enjoy the refreshing experience of being surrounded by flowing water.
A Natural Water Playground for Visitors
Baishuiyang is not only a geological wonder but also an ideal destination for outdoor recreation. Visitors can explore the scenic area by walking, cycling, or sightseeing by vehicle.
One of the most exciting attractions is the 100-meter-wide curved waterfall and the 100-meter-long natural water slide, which together create a natural water amusement area.
The smooth rock surface and gentle water flow make Baishuiyang a perfect place for:
* Walking through shallow streams
* Playing in natural water pools
* Sliding along the natural water chute
* Enjoying family-friendly outdoor activities
The combination of geological beauty and recreational experiences makes Baishuiyang one of the most distinctive summer destinations in Fujian.
Yuanyangxi National Scenic Area: Home of Mandarin Ducks
Baishuiyang is located within Yuanyangxi National Scenic Area, a beautiful ecological destination in northeastern Pingnan County.
Stretching for about 14 kilometers, Yuanyangxi is surrounded by mountains and dense forests. The peaceful environment provides an ideal habitat for mandarin ducks, especially during the winter season.
Every autumn, thousands of mandarin ducks migrate from northern China to Yuanyangxi to spend the winter. Because these beautiful birds have been observed here for more than a century, Pingnan is known as the “Home of Mandarin Ducks.”
The scenic area is also home to rich biodiversity, including protected wildlife such as macaques and various forest species.
Main Attractions of Yuanyangxi Scenic Area
The Yuanyangxi National Scenic Area consists of several major scenic zones:
* Baishuiyang

Each area features different landscapes, including waterfalls, streams, forests, caves, and wildlife habitats.
Among them, Baishuiyang is the most famous attraction, located along the upper reaches of Yuanyangxi and surrounded by beautiful waterfalls and natural scenery.
Ten Miles Water Street: The Highlight of Baishuiyang
The most spectacular area of Baishuiyang is known as “Ten Miles Water Street.” This unique natural landscape is formed by several enormous smooth rock slabs covered by flowing water.
The largest section covers an area of approximately 40,000 square meters, creating a huge natural water playground.
Walking across the stone surface, visitors can feel the cool water flowing around their feet while enjoying the surrounding mountains and clear streams. The experience is unlike any ordinary river walk and showcases the incredible power of natural geological processes.
Another highlight is the natural water chute, which extends for more than 50 meters. The smooth and clean rock surface allows visitors to slide down safely while enjoying a fun and memorable adventure.
