Things to do in Wuyishan

There's no excessive commercialization, and the bamboo raft boatmen are quite interesting and don't charge extra. A special shout-out to the "One Line Sky"! Having climbed countless "One Line Skys" across the country, only this one is truly authentic!! A place where you can calmly focus on the scenery, a truly peaceful and beautiful landscape.

三山五岳全部都走过，黄山(清明节刚刚时隔整整24年登上黄山故地重游了一番)、庐山、泰山、嵩山都去了两次了，山水甲天下的桂林也去了两次(五一假期刚刚时隔整整二十年来到了桂林故地重游了一遍)，但我最喜欢的中国名山还是秀甲东南的福建武夷山，之前已经去了三次了，不过最近一次已经是十年前的2015年了。所以，2025年的端午节第四次奔赴了这个中国仅有的四个世界自然和文化双遗产地之一。这次在三姑度假区住宿的酒店就在茶博园附近，但不知道为什么相比十年前茶博园冷清落寞了许多。

A trip to Wuyishan involves climbing Tianyou Peak in the morning and cruising the Nine-Bend Stream in the afternoon. Floating on a bamboo raft along the Nine-Bend Stream, the water is crystal clear, a gentle breeze blows, and the raft drifts slowly, while the boatman tells stories of the mountains and rocks… The mountains are covered with tea gardens, the tender buds sprouting vigorously, and the air is filled with the fragrance of tea leaves and flowers, making one feel relaxed and comfortable.

As the core supporting area of Wuyishan Scenic Area, Sangu Resort offers the following comprehensive experiences: Geographic location and transportation Close to Wuyishan Scenic Area, it is within walking distance to major attractions such as Impression Dahongpao Theater and Wuyi Palace. It takes 5 minutes by taxi to reach the south gate of the scenic area or the gate of Wuyi Palace. 12 Convenient transportation, free bus shuttle, but the bamboo raft pier is a little far and needs to transfer to a sightseeing bus. 12 Accommodation experience Hotels and homestays are concentrated, ranging from high-end holiday villas to economy options. Some hotels are within a 5-minute walk from the entrance of the scenic area. 34 It is recommended to choose the Black Swan Family Room for family travel, which has a garden-style design and complete facilities. 4 Hotels in the Old Street area have a strong Zen atmosphere, and some provide tea culture experience.

Located on the banks of the Jiuxi River at an altitude of approximately 400 meters, Tianyou Peak, though lower than Sanyang Peak and Dawang Peak, truly embodies the saying, "A mountain is not high if it is not high, but if a deity dwells there, it becomes sacred." It offers the best panoramic view of the Jiuxi River, making Tianyou Peak an ideal choice if you only plan to climb one mountain in Wuyishan. The 848 steps to the summit of Tianyou Peak begin at the "Tea Cave," surrounded by other peaks, and involve a total ascent of about 200 meters. The entire path to the top is made up of steps, steep and narrow, and prone to congestion during holidays.

The ancient village is similar to other ancient villages, but the difference is that it is the starting point of the ancient tea transport road in history. Merchants who made money in history built many houses here, integrating the styles of Shanxi merchants, Huizhou merchants, and Guangdong merchants. Someone needs to explain it to you, otherwise you won’t understand the history.

Take a bus to Da Hong Pao and see that tea tree? As the origin of Da Hong Pao, seeing the tree involves walking up a flight of stairs. These are three mother trees with a history of over 360 years. These three mother trees grew into six trees, which, since harvesting ceased in 2006, have grown freely into large tea trees. The story of Da Hong Pao tells of a scholar who fell ill while passing through Wuyi Mountain. He was cured by monks at a nearby temple using tea leaves as medicine. Later, the scholar achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations and upon returning home, draped his red robe (symbol of imperial honor) over a tea tree, thus giving the tree its name, Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe). In fact, the entire Wuyi Mountain scenic area is filled with tea gardens; tea trees line the roads. With good air and water quality, the tea grown here is naturally of excellent quality.

Wuyi Palace in Wuyi Mountain is not very big. It has Wuyi Spring and Autumn Pavilion, Song Street, Wanchun Garden, Zhizhi Temple, Dawang Peak and other small attractions. I think the Song Gui tree in the Spring and Autumn Pavilion is quite good. It is more than a thousand years old and still so lush. It is a pity that Zhizhi Temple is under repair and cannot be visited. Song Street is an antique building with many snacks and small commodities.

The name really lives up to its name, named after the scenery. A very narrow strip shaped like an Arabic numeral (I) is the climbing path. Before the climb, a loudspeaker was blaring. Climbing is not recommended for those with dark areas or mental disabilities. I saw people turning back halfway up. I mustered up the courage to climb to the top. It seems this place requires a certain body type, it's a perfect place for weight loss.

On the first night in Wuyi Mountain, I casually walked along Song Street next to Wuyi Palace. This is a small commercial street imitating the Song Dynasty style, with northern Fujian architectural style. Its biggest feature is the Jianzhan experience, and you can also have tea and take a rest here.
