Visit Wuyishan in Winter to Enjoy the Beautiful Scenery of Mountains and Rivers

Fujian is really beautiful. This time, we visited many places in Fujian because we had time. From Nanping to Fuzhou, and from Fuzhou to Quanzhou. Although I live on the plains and can feel the "vast expanse of flat land", I can't help but fall in love with such a good place with mountains and rivers. We also booked a car on a certain platform. We first took the high-speed train to Wuyishan and picked up a car at Wuyishan North Station. After visiting Wuyishan, we drove to Fuzhou. Finally, we returned the car in Quanzhou. Because there is no handling fee for returning the car in a different place. The beautiful scenery of Wuyishan We picked up the car and drove to the foot of Wuyishan. The hotel we stayed in was also good, with a great view. The city of Wuyishan is very regular, the streets are very clean and tidy, and there is a tea culture resort village at the highway entrance, where every household seems to be engaged in tea making and running homestays. As soon as you enter the city of Wuyishan, the air is filled with the fragrance of tea, and you feel like you are already swimming in the tea mountains. Wuyishan is now free of charge, but the sightseeing bus is not free. A one-day sightseeing bus ticket is 70, and a two-day ticket is 85, which can be purchased at the entrance of the scenic spot. We arrived late today, so we naturally didn't buy it, and we mainly walked. The free parking lot closest to Wuyi Palace should be Lantang Parking Lot. You can search the map to locate Guyue Villa, and the parking lot of Wuyishan Villa is closer. We parked at Lantang Parking Lot this time, and we don't know if the parking lot of Wuyishan Villa charges for parking. The walking distance to Wuyi Palace should be about one kilometer. Although you can take bus No. 9 to get there, we walked there while waiting for the bus. We really walked there! Enter the inner scenic area of Wuyishan from Wuyi Palace. The first thing you can see is the Wuyi Spring and Autumn Pavilion, where there are two Song Dynasty osmanthus trees, but unfortunately, it is not the season for osmanthus now. Then we headed all the way to Zhizhi Temple, passing by Dawang Peak, but I mainly didn't climb the mountain, so I didn't climb up. The road was all stone slabs, and the vegetation coverage was particularly large, so I was completely enjoying the fresh air. When passing by the Fish Viewing Place, you can look far away at Jade Girl Peak, and it is quite interesting to see the bamboo rafts floating by. Zhizhi Temple was built in the Jin Dynasty and has a history of 1,700 years. It is the 16th cave of the 36 caves of Taoism. "Zhizhi", "Go when you should go, stop when you should stop". At Shuiguang Stone, you can see the color of the mountains and rivers up close, the stream flows through the nine bends, and the mountain light is reflected in the clear ripples. The mountain turns with the water, and the water flows around the mountain, with different scenery in each bend. There are many stone carvings on the stone, and the writer of the "green water and red mountains, thousands of cliffs and valleys" is Cai Shen (Mr. Jiufeng), a great Confucian scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty. There are also kite-flying and fish-leaping rock carvings, which show Zhu Xi's consistent philosophy of doing scholarship, which must be broad and profound, and inspire people to take kite-flying and fish-leaping as their motto, and to study hard and read extensively. Song Street After admiring Shuiguang Stone, it was already sunset, so we walked to Song Street, planning to go out from Song Street and find a restaurant, because Song Street is a commercial district, and the commercial districts of general tourist attractions are usually expensive and unpalatable. Probably because we arrived at Song Street at 5:30, many shops were closed. The legendary authentic Wuyixing Dahongpao ice cream shop was closed, so I bought a Dahongpao ice cream for 5 yuan. The ice cream was good, with the fragrance of tea leaves and not too greasy. If you just want to try it, you can buy it, because the next day I saw Wuyixing Dahongpao ice cream selling for 23 yuan each in the Dahongpao scenic area, which is really expensive! The Dahongpao I longed for Because my travel partner had been to Wuyishan once before, and I was the only one who came for the first time. Bamboo raft drifting is a must-play in Wuyishan, but according to my travel partner, the scenery is not as good as before, and now it is the off-season, the water is shallow, and it is recommended to come back when the scenery is good next time. Thinking about the drifting costs 130 yuan, and you have to spend 20 yuan for a tip to explain, a total of 150 yuan, I still choose to walk, although there is no feeling of swimming in the painting, but walking to the Jiuqu Stream, just to see the beautiful scenery from a different angle~~ So we went to the north gate to enter the Dahongpao scenic area the next day. Although it is said online that the ticket inspection in the scenic area is not strict, so many people save money by sneaking in. But it is not recommended here, because we met a lady checking tickets when we were transferring in Wuyi Palace. The main attraction of the Dahongpao scenic area is the Dahongpao mother tree, and both the left and right roads can lead directly to the Dahongpao mother tree. Because we have limited leg strength, we chose to enter from the right and exit from the left, mainly not to go back. The road on the right is mainly tea mountains, and the road on the left is relatively flat, with stone carvings along the way. There is a walking path from the Dahongpao scenic area to the Shuilian Cave scenic area, which is recommended online, with a total length of 4.5 kilometers. Friends with physical strength can try it, but I won't try it. From the Dahongpao scenic area to the southern Tianyou Peak and Jade Girl Peak, you need to transfer to the southern sightseeing bus at Wuyi Palace, and of course, from the southern area to the northern Dahongpao and Shuilian Cave, you also need to transfer at Wuyi Palace. Yixiantian: The picture looks wonderful, but it is very unfriendly to people with claustrophobia and acrophobia, and the broadcast will also suggest that some people should not go up. Yixiantian is divided into left and right sides, the left side is relatively wide, and the right side is narrower, it is said that the narrowest part is only 30 centimeters. We saw a very interesting peak next to it, and the guide passing by said it looked like a monkey, and it really did~ It really depends on imagination. Tianyou Peak is the core scenic area of Wuyishan, and you need to walk more than 900 meters to the foot of Tianyou Peak after getting off at the Tianyou Peak station, passing by the Wuqiao Bridge, which is also a relatively open place to see the mountains and rivers. The walking path here is also recommended online, and there is a place to watch fish at the foot of Tianyou Peak, where there are a lot of fish! And they are very fat! If you feed them some fish food, they can perform a "joyful dance" on the spot. Fuzhou We went to Fuzhou that day. We started playing in Fuzhou the next day. We tried Fuzhou's Lao Hua for lunch, the rice noodles were super fine, and the ingredients were super fresh. But northerners may find the taste a bit light. In the afternoon, we went to a must-visit place in my city: Fujian Museum. Social media has always said that Fujian Museum is very "chicken ribs", but in fact, I think it is not bad, probably because the museum has free explanations, and the explanations are really good. There is an artificial lake in front of the Fujian Museum, and if time permits, you can really take a walk. For dinner, I recommend a porridge hot pot: Fengyanqi. It is really amazing, and it was also recommended to me by a colleague. I recommend the gout crab pot + prawns.
