Mount Wuyi in Fujian province is celebrated for its striking Danxia landforms—a breathtaking scene of emerald waters and crimson peaks. The Nine-Bend River meanders like a jade ribbon through the rugged mountains, its waters shimmering with crystalline clarity. In December 1999, UNESCO designated Mount Wuyi a World Cultural and Natural Heritage site in recognition of its unique geological and ecological significance.

Key features of Wuyishan National Park: Nine-Bend River bamboo rafting; spectacular Danxia landscapes; Tianyou Peak summit views; renowned Wuyi rock tea plantations.

Mount Wuyi is steeped in a profound tea culture. During the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, oolong tea was first crafted here, establishing the region as the birthplace of oolong and the home of the celebrated Wuyi rock tea.

Nine‑Bend River bamboo rafting

An essential Wuyi experience. Glide downstream on a traditional bamboo raft and witness the stunning Danxia scenery—"one stream threading through endless mountains."
