Wuyi Mountain Travel Guide: A Soul-Healing Journey Through Mountains and Rivers

Hey everyone, I just got back from a trip to Wuyi Mountain, and I'm absolutely captivated by its beauty😍 I've put together a super detailed guide, so save it now! 🏠Accommodation: I recommend staying in the Sangu Resort Area. There are plenty of hotels and guesthouses to choose from, it's conveniently located, and there are lots of great restaurants and shops nearby. If you have a bigger budget, choose a guesthouse near the stream so you can enjoy the beautiful night view🌃 🚗Transportation: Wuyi Mountain has a high-speed train station, making it easy to get to from anywhere. Within the city, you can take a taxi or bus, but some attractions are quite far apart, so taking a taxi will save you time. 🏞️Attractions: 📍Tianyou Peak: Make sure to go early! The morning mist hasn't completely dispersed yet, and climbing Tianyou Peak offers a breathtaking view of the Nine-Bend Stream winding below. The mountains and rivers complement each other, surrounded by clouds and mist, making you feel like you're in a fairyland. The whole trip takes about 2–3 hrs and involves some climbing, so remember to wear comfortable shoes~ 📍Nine-Bend Stream Bamboo Raft: A must-do activity in Wuyi Mountain! Sit on a bamboo raft, listen to the boatman's humorous commentary, admire the bizarre peaks on both sides of the river, and feel the gentle breeze. It's incredibly relaxing. I recommend booking in advance on the official WeChat account. The lighting is best between 9am and 11am for stunning photos. 📍Dahongpao Scenic Area: Stroll through the tea gardens, breathe in the fresh tea-scented air, and see the legendary Dahongpao mother tree. The whole journey is very relaxing, perfect for a leisurely wander and experiencing the charm of tea culture. 🍜Food: 🍖Langu Smoked Goose: The meat is firm, with a strong smoky flavor and a slightly spicy taste that's perfect with rice. You can't go wrong with any local restaurant~ 🍜Wengong Cuisine: Similar to a thick meat soup, it has a smooth texture and delicious, unique flavor. Definitely try it! 🥤Milk Tea Trio: Rich tea flavor, chewy tapioca pearls, and a Wuyi Mountain specialty cinnamon tea base make this milk tea completely different from what you'll find anywhere else! 📌Tips: 1. Wear sunscreen, the UV rays are strong in the mountains. 2. Food inside the scenic area is expensive, so bring your own snacks and water. 3. Buy tea from reputable shops to avoid being scammed.
