    Ningde (宁德) is a city, and the center of a prefecture of the same name, on the coast North of Fuzhou in Fujian province, China.

    Understand

    [edit]

    The city of Ningde is near the southern border of the prefecture. There is some spectacular scenery in Ningde prefecture, but mainly well outside of Ningde city itself.

    Get in

    [edit]

    Other stations in Ningde prefecture that may be useful for accessing local attractions are:

    • 2 Fu'an Station (福安站). May be useful for Baiyunshan. Fu'an railway station (Q5506826) on Wikidata Fu'an railway station on Wikipedia
    • 3 Taimushan station (太姥山站). Near Taimushan, Taimushan railway station (Q7676167) on Wikidata Taimushan railway station on Wikipedia and
    • 4 Fuding station (福鼎站). Not as close to Taimushan, but has more service. Fuding railway station (Q5507075) on Wikidata Fuding railway station on Wikipedia

    There is also a good highway along the coast which connects Fuzhou, Ningde, Xiapu and Wenzhou, just to the north in Zhejiang province. From Wenzhou, there are good road connections all over East China.

    This region has no civilian airports, though there is a large military one. There are buses direct from Ningde to Fuzhou airport and Wenzhou is nearby to the north; both have good connections all over China and a few international flights. The nearest airports with a good range of international flights are Xiamen to the south or Hangzhou and Shanghai to the north; all are easily reached via the fast trains.
