Wuyi Mountain Ultimate Guide, Two-Day Tour Without Pitfalls

🌸About Tickets Wuyi Mountain will be free of charge for the entire year of 2024!! However, bamboo rafts and sightseeing buses are charged. It is recommended to take the Nine-Bend Bamboo Raft, which costs 130 yuan. The sightseeing bus costs 70 yuan for a one-day ticket, 85 yuan for a two-day ticket, and 95 yuan for a three-day ticket. Children under 1.2 meters can ride the sightseeing bus for free. Book in advance. The bamboo raft will be suspended in bad weather. 🌺About Scenic Area Entrances There are two entrances to the scenic area. The south entrance is the popular one where luggage can be stored, but there is a fee. (Near Nanping Station, take the tram from Nanping Station from 8:00 to 20:00, or take bus K1 for 10 yuan, about 1 hour's drive). The north entrance is near Wuyi Mountain North Station and the airport, with free buses, but it is slower through the urban area. Taking a taxi via the expressway takes about half an hour. The north entrance is smaller, and it is the closest entrance to see the ancient Dahongpao trees. 🏨Accommodation The Wuyi Mountain scenic area is very large, so it is recommended to stay near the Sangu Resort Area, which is convenient for transportation and has a concentration of commercial activities. There are snack bars and restaurants right outside. I stayed at the Xingcheng Hotel, which is conveniently located and reasonably priced, including breakfast. 🍛Food Tangyan·Old Wuyi Local Cuisine: The Dahongpao Tea Fish is delicious, with a refreshing tea aroma, and the taste is very novel. Xiguan Flavor·Zhuzi Family Cuisine: The antique decoration creates a great dining atmosphere, and the dishes are very characteristic of the local flavor and worth trying. 🚗About Self-Driving and Parking The scenic area is under closed management, and self-driving vehicles are not allowed to enter. You can park at the parking lots at the south and north entrances. ⭐⭐Two-Day Tour Guide - First Day 1. I arrived at Nanping Station, took bus K1 for fifty minutes to Sangu Roundabout Station, dropped off my luggage at the hotel, and took buses 6, 7, or 10 to the south gate. 2. Enter the scenic area by swiping your ID card, or buy sightseeing bus and bamboo raft tickets on-site at the visitor center on the right. 3. Enter the scenic area and take the sightseeing bus directly to the foot of Tianyou Peak. The climb takes about two hours. It is not particularly steep, but the path is very narrow, so it is not recommended for the elderly or children under five to reach the top. 4. After descending from Tianyou Peak, take the sightseeing bus to the bamboo raft dock. The scenery is beautiful with nine bends and eighteen turns. Not taking the bamboo raft is like not having visited Wuyi Mountain. (Bamboo raft tickets are available from 7:10 to 15:20, with a trip every half hour. Each raft accommodates eight people, and children are charged the same price of 130 yuan. The explanation fee is 20 yuan per person, collected on the boat, and there is no bargaining. The boatman will only explain if everyone agrees. There are fish food sellers on the way to the boat, 1 yuan per bag, which is the cheapest price in the scenic area. It is recommended to buy shoe covers as the bamboo raft may seep water. The ride takes about an hour.) 5. The disembarkation point is Wuyi Palace, connected to Song Street, where some food and handicrafts are sold. Grilled sausages cost 6 yuan, and prices increase during peak seasons. Dahongpao tea eggs cost 10 yuan for 3. After walking out of Song Street, you can take the sightseeing bus to the ancient Dahongpao tree. 6. Get off at the Dahongpao stop, walk into the tea garden, passing by Yongle Zen Temple, Jiulongke, and about 800 meters to the thousand-year-old Dahongpao tree. Continue forward, passing through the Rock Bone Flower Fragrance Path, to reach the Water Curtain Cave. The Water Curtain Cave has no water except during the rainy season. Then take the sightseeing bus back to the south entrance, or exit directly from the north entrance. 7. In the evening, go to Impression Dahongpao to enjoy the performance, which starts at 19:30 every day. Tickets start at 208 yuan, and you can buy them in advance on the official account. Children under 1.2 meters are free. Raincoats will be provided. Note that there are no performances starting one month before the Spring Festival, as the actors are on vacation.
