Wuyi Mountain | Detailed guide for a leisurely journey through the mountains and waters!
🔥The main scenic area of Wuyi Mountain is free of admission until April 30th this year~ and all public buses in the Wuyi Mountain area are also free of charge.
(At first, getting on the bus without paying felt a bit awkward) But there is a 1-3 day scenic shuttle bus pass available in the scenic area.
1️⃣ Tianyou Peak, the classic main peak of Wuyi Mountain, can be summited in 40 minutes if you're physically fit. Standing at the top, you have a wide view, overlooking the entire Wuyi Mountain scenic area.
2️⃣ Yunnvfeng, cannot be climbed, but you will pass by it on a bamboo raft.
3️⃣ Dahongpao Scenic Area, where you can admire the Dahongpao mother trees, a paradise for tea enthusiasts.
4️⃣ Shuilian Cave, experience the spectacular sight of the water curtain hanging down. If it's not a rainy day or season, the view may be quite ordinary, and it's quite tiring to climb.
5️⃣ One-Line-Sky, very narrow and damp, with an unpleasant smell, and Tiger Roar Rock is just beyond it.
6️⃣ Tiger Roar Rock, more challenging than Tianyou Peak, with some steep sections.
7️⃣ Jiuqu Stream, famous for its clear water and winding river, it is said that only by taking a bamboo raft can you appreciate the beauty of Wuyi Mountain's 'Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns'.
🛶Bamboo raft 130/person, about an hour and a half. If it's peak season, book your tickets in advance, if there are no tickets online you can book them at the dock. Try to go in the morning when the temperature is not high, the sun is not strong, and there are more fish in the water. There are many shoe covers for sale at the dock, but they're not very useful (not needed at all). However, if you're interested, you can buy some fish food,
feeding the fish makes the water surface as lively as a boiling pot~
📢Explanation: 20/person, this 'tip' depends on luck, if you meet a good boatman, he will patiently explain the local customs, features along the way, and strange rock formations, and will stop at some viewing points to help everyone take photos; but it's said that some boatmen will make inappropriate jokes all the way, which is offensive; or if everyone on the boat refuses to pay, the boatman will row quickly to the end....
8️⃣At the end of the bamboo raft, you have to pass through Song Street, which is actually a shopping street, with a Wuyi Mountain Museum in the middle where you can see hanging coffins. Continuing forward is Wuyi Palace, a few minutes' walk will take you to the entrance of Dawang Peak. Further on, there is the Guanyu Platform, Zhizhi An, and a very photogenic stone carving wall.
9️⃣Dawang Peak, one of the iconic attractions of Wuyi Mountain, not recommended for those with insufficient physical strength.
1️⃣0️⃣Zhizhi An. An ancient temple with a tranquil environment and atmosphere.
1️⃣1️⃣Baiyun Zen Temple. Go early to see the sunrise, and with some luck, you may also encounter a sea of clouds.
💃In the evening, you can enjoy the 'Impression Dahongpao' live performance, 70 minutes, 238/person, remember to book in advance.
Delicious food: Min-style private kitchen, although it's an internet-famous restaurant, the taste, environment, service, and value for money are still good.
🏠Accommodation: Near 'Sangu Holiday Area' and 'Nanyuanling Homestay Village', try to book in advance.
💡Tips:
🌞Check the weather forecast before you go, and be prepared with rain gear as the weather can change rapidly.
👟The Wuyi Mountain scenic area is large, so it's recommended to wear comfortable shoes.
💐Here, whether it's a restaurant or hotel, tea is sold, and if you pull someone who seems to be a local and ask which tea has the best value for money, they will definitely take you to their home to drink (buy) tea without hesitation!
The Tianyou Peak of Wuyi Mountain is the most majestic peak of Wuyi Mountain, and it is a huge boulder as a whole, which is very spectacular. Tianyou Peak is also the most precipitous mountain peak in Wuyi Mountain. On the top of the mountain is the Taoist Sanqing Palace. Here you can overlook the beautiful scenery of Jiuquxi. It is really not to be missed.
20230511 All day: 1. "Tianyou Peak" is located in the "Wuyi Mountain" of 5A Scenic Area. Wuyi Mountain is a famous tourist resort in the world. It has the double titles of World Natural Cultural Heritage and World Cultural Heritage. It is the location of the famous 6 mother trees of Wuyi Rock Tea. The mountains are full of birds and animals, pheasants and fish, and it is a holy place for health. In terms of humanities, there are many temples and Taoist views since Qin and Han, and there are more than 450 stone carvings in existence. In history, there are Zhu Ying, Xin Qiji, Lu You, Li Shangyin, Xu Xiake, Sazhen Bing and other famous footprints. The core scenic spots developed in Wuyi Mountain are divided into "Tianyou Peak-Jiuquxi (Bamboo Pool)-Wuyi Palace", "Huxiaoyan-First Line Tian", "Dahongpao", and "Water Curtain Cave" 4 essence areas. ① Address: Yingbin Road, Wuyishan City, Nanping City, Fujian Province. ② Transportation: The bus is directly accessible, and the driving is also very good. ③ peak season: There are points in each of the four seasons, see green leaves in spring and summer; see red leaves in autumn; see snow in winter. ④ Time: 2-3 Days. ⑤ Notes: Wuyishan City has introduced a new deal, free tickets (shuttle fares) in 2023, and free public transportation in the city. If you want to free tickets during ordinary hours, you can enter the mountain in the early morning and will be regarded as a citizen of morning exercises. 2. On the first day, I went to the south side of the 3 areas: Tianyou Peak, Huxiaoyan, and First Line Tian. The shuttle bus tickets are divided into 3 types: 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 70, 85, 95 yuan, to play all the best areas, 1 day is too tight, 2 days is just right, 3 days will be very abundant, and can travel all the small landscapes and paths. 3. Tianyou Peak is the face value ceiling of the landscape scenery. Take the shuttle bus directly from the south gate. After getting off the bus, take 15 minutes to the "cloud nest" at the intersection of Tianyou Peak Ring Line. There will be: ① Viaduct: High-span Jiuquxi, you can see Wuyishan specialty red-eyed fish under the bridge, because tourists often feed on the bridge. So gather under the bridge. ② Wuyi Jingshe: Built by the famous thinker Zhu Ying in Song Dynasty in the ten years (1183), also known as "Ziyang Academy", but in the 25 years of Yuan to Zheng (1365) destroyed in war, the building is now rebuilt in 2003, the interior is Zhu Ying's life and thought introduction. Zhu Ying has lived and taught here for more than 50 years and completed the "Four Books Collection". The "Zhu Yingyuan" outside the house has his statue and teaching sculpture. Yunwo is a collective name for a rock cave. In the early morning of winter and spring, there are often clouds and mists in the cave, so it is named. There are many paths in this area, which are roughly counterclockwise to go up and down the mountain. When going up the mountain, you pass through: ① Huihuidong, Juledong: Passable cave. ② Shuiyue Pavilion: ordinary rest pavilion, there is a paid photo service in the pavilion. ③ Shuiyunxuan Site: It was built in the second year of Song Yuanfu (1099), and was built by the ethicist You Xuan and wrote here.

到武夷山,去天游峰爬一爬,登高望远,是一个必去的选择,如果有体力的,登完天游峰,可以走一走洞天仙府步道,总共7.8公里,大概一个半小时,一路都是茶园,路况很好,基本不用爬升
From the top of the Tianyou Peak, the road is relatively gentle. Many tourists who do not have the physical strength to climb the Tianyou Peak are here to take a sedan, and the sedan driver is carried up the mountain. Tianyou Peak is located in the north of Jiuquxi Liuquxi, Wuyi Mountain. From the back mountain of Tianyou Peak, you can go to Jiuquxi. There are large fish in the stream around the stream to grab the food that tourists throw to them. Each of these fish has at least 5 or 6 pounds. There is no fear of people by the stream. I heard from locals that Wuyishan people have a strong sense of ecological environmental protection, and they can consciously not catch fish and wildlife. The air next to Jiuqu Creek is fresh and lush, and the green mountains, green waters, blue sky and white clouds are beautiful. Tianyoufeng Scenic Area is worthy of being the first scene of Wuyi. People who have not climbed the Tianyoufeng Mountain cannot be counted as Wuyi Mountain. From the Tianyou Scenic Area, through Yunguan, Wuyi Academy, back to the parking lot. After coming out of the Tianyoufeng Scenic Area, we immediately went to the scenic dispatch room and took the bus to the Jiuquxi Bamboo Pai Pier.
