Wuyishan National Park
Wuyishan National Park is located in the northern section of the Wuyishan mountain range in northwestern Fujian, stretching across the border area between Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. It is one of China's first established national parks, and Wuyishan itself was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for both culture and nature as early as 1999. The park was formed by integrating the former Wuyishan National Nature Reserve and Wuyishan Scenic Area: the Tongmu area in the north focuses on ecological conservation and scientific research, preserving a rare intact mid-subtropical forest ecosystem at this latitude. The main peak of the Wuyishan range, Mount Huanggang, is also located here, and this core area does not offer regular tourism activities. Sightseeing activities are concentrated in the scenic areas along both banks of the Nine-bend Stream, namely the four major sections: Tianyou Peak to Taoyuan Cave, Nine-bend Stream to Wuyi Palace, One-line Sky to Tiger Roaring Rock, and Dahongpao to Water Curtain Cave. The attractions in the scenic area are relatively scattered with considerable distance between them. A leisurely visit typically requires two to three days. If you only have one day, start by ascending Tianyou Peak for a panoramic view of the emerald waters and crimson mountains along the Nine-bend Stream, then take a bamboo raft downstream from Xingcun Wharf. Along the way, you'll pass landmarks like Jade Maiden Peak, Great King Peak, cliff inscriptions, and suspended boat coffins. The rafting journey ends at Wuyi Palace, making it an ideal classic route. Tea enthusiasts may prefer spending time on the leisurely Rock Bone Floral Trail between Dahongpao and Water Curtain Cave. This gentle path connects core Wuyi rock tea production areas like Liuxiangjian and Huiyuankeng, offering a uniquely fragrant experience. With two days, you can cover all four major sections. For more time, consider visiting the ancient tea merchants' residences in Xiamei Village, the starting point of the ancient Tea Horse Road, or exploring the ruins of the Minyue King's City near Chengcun Village—the latter also being part of Wuyishan's world heritage site. Bamboo rafting is very popular, so please make arrangements in advance during peak season. To get close to the ecological heart of the park, you can take the Wuyishan National Park No. 1 scenic route. Places like Moon Bay and Qinglong Waterfall are suitable for self-drive or private charter. As for food, street snacks like flat meat dumplings and Vietnamese noodles are common, while Langu smoked goose and local dishes cooked with alpine bamboo shoots and mushrooms are also worth trying.China · Wuyishan

It was quite nice to go in the summer; the waterfall was really big and interesting. However, it's inconvenient that you can't buy one-way tickets for the shuttle bus. But Zhouning isn't too hot, so walking around and breathing in the mountain air is nice.

Zhouning is really cool, they said they don't need to buy air conditioners. It seems to be true, there is no air conditioner in the dining area and the accommodation area. The road is being built in Liyuxi, which scared away the carp, so there are no carp. Yunshan Town is a half-developed hotel + villa project, but there is a good reservoir for free.

Pingnan is truly a wonderful place. Yuanyangxi and Baishuiyang were both rated 5A-level scenic spots. The former offers stunning mountain and water views, while the latter provides opportunities for hiking and water activities, allowing you to fully enjoy the beauty of nature.
Yuanyangxi is a bit further from Shuangxi Town than Baishuiyang. It's a large canyon, and wandering through it, you can truly appreciate the charm of nature.
The initial entrance to the scenic area is at the top of the canyon. Be sure to visit the viewing platform; it offers a panoramic view of Yuanyangxi, making the extra few hundred meters worthwhile. Then, follow the mountain path down to the valley floor. Here, you'll find numerous streams and waterfalls, as well as cliffs and uniquely shaped rocks—a continuous stream of beautiful scenery.
My last stop was Baizhangji-Shuiliandong (Water Curtain Cave). The waterfall cascades down from the mountaintop, crashing into the pool below, creating a truly enchanting scene. I took a shortcut here, taking the mountain elevator directly to the top. The walk to the exit is only a few hundred meters, but the elevator ascends 120 meters, saving me over a thousand steps and conserving energy for the rest of the trip.

In one sentence, it is a treasure scenic spot in the deep mountains! As soon as I entered the gate and met the monkeys unexpectedly, I felt that it was worth the ticket price. Walking in the mountains and forests, the first half of the terrain is gentle and basically flat. Although the second half is all steps, there will be a gentle slope after a short walk, so it is not very tiring. Moreover, the protection facilities of the scenic spot are very well done. In addition to the railings, a layer of rope nets will be added. It coincides with the cooling and rainfall. There are few tourists in the entire scenic spot. It is almost a private treatment. The eyes are full of lush green, and then kiss the moist air with the fragrance of soil and green leaves. The experience is full, and it is 100% worth a visit!

The beautiful Xianfeng Mountain. Although it rained heavily when we went there, we had to wait on the mountain for a long time and couldn't go down the mountain, but the rainbow after the rain was so beautiful, so magnificent, so unforgettable, and it is worth visiting again!

Wangxian Valley is like a fairyland, with ancient cliffside buildings and cascading waterfalls. The night view is stunning, with beautiful scenery at every turn, making it a must-visit destination. The natural wonders, especially the cliffside stilted buildings, are breathtaking. At night, the lights illuminate the area, creating a harmonious blend of mountains, water, and ancient architecture, resulting in a truly immersive atmosphere.

Huangling is a rather unique scenic area, offering views of 500-year-old Hui-style architecture nestled in the valley, perfect for taking photos. It has its own charm on sunny and rainy days. However, it currently feels quite commercialized, with some of the ancient buildings being renovated, which has diminished their original character. The Huaxi Water Street also feels somewhat artificial. The service at the coffee shop was rather average, with staff not being particularly enthusiastic, but since we were already there, what more could we ask for? Just having fun is what matters.

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.
