The summer temperature is moderate, the mountains are high and dense, and the vegetation is rich, bringing natural coolness. Streams and waterfalls like Jiuqu Stream and Qinglong Waterfall are filled with mist, effectively cooling the air.

Fujian 《Mount Wuyi》—2 Located in Nanping, Fujian, it is a world cultural and natural heritage site. Tianyou Peak is the most dangerous peak in Wuyi. It is also named "Shaibu Rock" because of the traces of rain washing the rock wall. Standing on top of the towering cliffs and peaks, it feels like traveling in the sky, hence the name "Tianyou". The Wuyi Mountains are in full view with their overlapping green mountains and rippling blue waves. Xu Xiake once said: "This peak is the best without being near the stream, but it can fully appreciate the beauty of Jiuqu. It should be the best."

Take the sightseeing bus from South Gate to Tian You peak . It is a 10 minute bus ride. The heat was very hot at 39 degree so I opted for a sedan chair experience at 320CNY up the mountain. Totally worth the ride, highly recommended! The ride up and down the mountain is 90 minutes , you can go even higher for 120 minutes but it will cost more. It is a comfortable way to enjoy the mountains in the hot summer. #travel #wuyishan

### 🏞 Top 5 Must-Visit Attractions (Including Hidden Gems) 1. Nine-Bend Stream Bamboo Rafting - Why Go: The soul of Wuyishan, where crimson cliffs and emerald waters form a moving landscape, passing wonders like Jade Maiden Peak and Hanging Coffin relics. - Best Time: 7:00 AM slot (misty fairyland) or 3:30 PM (avoid midday sun). - Pro Tips: - Bring ¥20 cash for rafters to share fun legends (e.g., the love story of the "King and Jade Maiden"); - Capture Jade Maiden Peak at the fifth bend—morning mist makes it resemble a maiden with hairpins. 2. Tianyou Peak - Why Go: Climb 848 steps for panoramic views of Nine-Bend Stream; post-rain mornings often reveal seas of clouds swallowing peaks. - Route Tip: Ascend via the steep front slope (near Sunlight Rock) and descend the gentler back slope. Cloud Sea Viewing Pavilion halfway offers the best photo spot. 3. Rock Bone Flower Fragrance Trail - Why Go: A 3km flagstone path linking Mother Da Hong Pao Tea Trees to Water Curtain Cave, winding through tea fields and valleys bursting with orchid fragrance in April. - Highlights: - Sip Zen tea at Huiyuan Temple (¥30/person); - Watch free tea-making demos of "rock tea shaking" by local farmers. 4. Impression Da Hong Pao Show - Why Go: Directed by Zhang Yimou, this 360° rotating stage performance against Dawang Peak backdrop dramatizes tea history. - Seating Hack: Aim for rows 4–6 center. Post-show, snack on Guangbing stuffed with smoked goose at Impression Jianzhou Food Street. 5. White Cloud Temple (Hidden Gem) - Why Go: Cliffside temple for sunrise and cloud seas; brave a 20-minute risky path to "Paradise Cave" for heavenly views above swirling clouds. - Tips: Charter a car by 4 AM, bring flashlights and anti-slip shoes. Temple vegetarian meals accept donations. --- ### 🗺 Itinerary Recommendations Classic 2-Day Highlights (First-Timer Must) - **Day1**: AM: Nine-Bend Rafting (book 3 days ahead) → Song Dynasty Street (try Da Hong Pao ice cream) PM: Summit Tianyou Peak → One-Line Sky (right path is more thrilling) Evening: *Impression Da Hong Pao* (7:30 PM show) - **Day2**: AM: Da Hong Pao Scenic Area (sample tea-leaf eggs) → Rock Bone Trail hike to Water Curtain Cave PM: Xiamei Ancient Village (Song-style tea ceremony) or Yulinting Kiln Site (DIY Jianzhan teacups, ¥68) In-Depth 3-Day Cultural Trip - **Day3 Add-Ons**: Dawn: White Cloud Temple sunrise → Riverside Nine-Bend Trail (Xingcun to Tianyou Peak, serene views) PM: Tongmu Pass (Lapsang Souchong origin) or Zhuzi Memorial Forest Off-the-Beaten-Path Route - White Cloud Temple sunrise → Paradise Cave cliff photos → Sancai Peak tea field sunset (chartered car) → Qinglong Waterfall splash play --- ### 🍜 Food & Stays Must-Eats - **Langgu Smoked Goose**: Crispy skin, tender meat with tea aroma; Old Street Xiaoguangbing Shop offers vacuum packs. - **Tea Banquet**: Yuehua Hotel’s tea-infused ribs, Da Hong Pao tea eggs. - **Wengong Dish**: Xiaomu Cake Shop’s steamed tofu-wrapped meat; Xingxian Ancient Street’s specialty. - **Wufu Lotus Seed Soup**: Chilled with osmanthus honey, signature at Wengong Restaurant.

Our visit to Wuyi Mountain didn’t go quite as planned — the weather had other ideas. Rain accompanied us for two out of the three days we stayed, yet the charm of this mystical place still managed to shine through the clouds. Day 1 We arrived at Wuyi North Station in the afternoon and took a taxi to Qingmingli Hotel, a cozy retreat tucked away near the heart of town. After dropping off our luggage, we set off to wander the nearby streets, full of curiosity and hope. We strolled through Songjie, where traditional tea shops line the road like little treasures. We bought a cup of tea — served with a tiny teapot perched adorably on top — and walked slowly along the river, letting the views sink into us like poetry. But the peace didn’t last long. Within hours, the skies opened up. The rain fell heavy and fast, soaking us completely. We returned to the hotel drenched but strangely content, wrapped in the quiet rhythm of mountain rain. Day 2 We had hoped to hike in the Wuyi Mountain Forest Park, but the rain stayed with us. So we changed our plans and spent the day at a hot spring resort instead. And truly — what a memory that became. Sitting in steaming pools as cold raindrops kissed our faces felt like a strange, beautiful ritual. It was calm, surreal, and entirely unexpected. Day 3 At last, the weather cleared, and we made our way to the forest park. The towering rock formations were absolutely breathtaking — like scenes from an ancient painting. But alas, another small heartbreak awaited us: the bamboo rafting was closed, as it doesn’t run on Mondays. It was something we had looked forward to the most, so our spirits dipped. Still, we hiked up to Tianyou Peak, where the views restored a bit of magic. With time running short and our biggest wish unfulfilled, we decided to leave early and caught an earlier train home. Despite the weather and missed moments, we would still wholeheartedly recommend Wuyi Mountain. The rock formations are truly otherworldly, and the air carries something ancient and grounding. We only hope your visit brings sunshine… and a chance to float down the river on a bamboo raft, just as we dreamed. #wuyishan #hiddengemschina #Wuyiteatrail #rainydaymagic #localguides #Tianyoupeak #Bambooraftingdream 📍Address: Xingcun Town, Wuyishan City, Nanping, Fujian Province, China 🏨 Hotel: No. 8 Yuhua Street, Wuyishan City, Nanping, Fujian Province, China
