Although the building is newly restored, there are still two Songgui preserved in the central courtyard of the palace. Now it is also open as a memorial hall for Liuyong: the ancestral home of Liuyong, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, is in Chong'an. You can take the scenic area sightseeing car to reach the Xingcun Wharf located upstream. After about 1.5 hours of water drifting to the end of the ferry, you can reach Wuyi Palace through the bustling Song Street. Don't miss the Wuyishan Museum in front of Wuyi Palace. During the bamboo raft drifting, you may have heard about the mystery of the hanging coffins in Wuyishan. The museum not only provides a detailed introduction to this cliff burial custom, but also treasures a precious boat-shaped coffin (ticket: free; opening hours: 8:00 to 12:00, 14:00 to 17:30, closed on Mondays).

Or go to Wanchun Garden outside the mountain gate, take a walk and take pictures while admiring the Zen bonsai. If you continue to walk 1 kilometer along the trail in Wanchun Garden, you will come to a very unpopular Taoist temple, Zhizhian. This beautiful Taoist temple inspired Dou Wei's new song "Zhizhian" in 2021. This Taoist temple, after 1700 years of time, has been prosperous and deserted, and still retains the simple and solemn appearance. Peeling walls, rampant green plants, full of moss... Compared with the popular internet celebrity spots that people are familiar with, it is more simple and sincere. Day 2: Ask about mountains, water and tea Nine Bend Stream Bamboo Raft: When the sun is shining, of course, take your parents to ride the simple bamboo raft, enjoy the nine bends, watch the fish play in the water, see the thirty-six peaks lined up on both sides, like a fairyland, all the way singing and laughing.

The moment I stepped into Mount Wuyi, I was deeply shocked by the scenery before my eyes. The green mountains were like ink paintings, and the clear waters babbled, resembling a flowing scroll of painting, so beautiful that it took my breath away. I had originally planned to take a bamboo raft and drift leisurely on the Nine Bend River, to feel the tranquility and comfort. However, I was unable to do so, and although there was some regret in my heart, when I decided to take to the mountain paths and climb, that regret was instantly replaced by the magnificence of nature. I walked along the winding mountain roads, and every step felt like I was walking in poetry and the distance. Green mountains on the side, clear waters accompanying, every breath was fresh air, as if I was in a fairyland. —————— Touring weather: Sunny day🌞(The water is emerald green) 🅿️Parking: Underground parking garage, ground parking lot with charging stations 🚗Scenic area transportation: Ticket🎫➕Sightseeing car🎫 70💰 Touring by sightseeing car saves more time —————— 🏃🏻‍♂️My touring route: Nine Bend River⇒Tianyou Peak⇒Dahongpao Scenic Area⇒Wuyi Palace⇒One-Line-Sky —————— 1⃣️Tianyou Peak: Located in the center of the Mount Wuyi scenic area, it is one of the most famous attractions of Mount Wuyi, and from the top of the peak, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the Nine Bend River.‼️(Must climb, the pavilion halfway up the mountain offers 80% of the beautiful view) 2⃣️Nine Bend River: Take a bamboo raft to drift and enjoy the green water and red mountains along the way, feeling the natural wonders.‼️(Book tickets in advance) 3⃣️Dahongpao Scenic Area: The Dahongpao mother tree, learn about the history and culture of Wuyi rock tea.

🔥The main scenic area of Wuyi Mountain is free of charge until April 30th this year, and all public buses in the Wuyi Mountain area are also free of charge. (At first, when you get on the bus without paying, it feels a bit awkward) However, on the scenic area's 'Princess' bus, there is a 1-3 day scenic bus pass available. 1⃣ Tianyou Peak, the classic main peak of Wuyi Mountain, can be summited in 40 minutes if you're physically fit. Standing at the top, you have a broad view, overlooking the entire Wuyi Mountain scenic area. 2⃣ Yunnvfeng (Jade Maiden Peak), cannot be climbed, but you can pass by on a bamboo raft. 3⃣ Dahongpao (Big Red Robe) Scenic Area, where you can admire the mother tree of Dahongpao tea, a paradise for tea enthusiasts. 4⃣ Shuilian Cave (Water Curtain Cave), experience the spectacular sight of the water curtain. If it's not a rainy day or season, the view may be quite ordinary, and the climb is quite tiring. 5⃣ One-Line-Sky, very narrow and damp, with an unpleasant smell, and Tiger Roaring Rock is just beyond it. 6⃣ Tiger Roaring Rock, more challenging than Tianyou Peak, with some steep sections. 7⃣ Jiuqu Stream, famous for its clear water and winding river, it is said that only by taking a bamboo raft can you fully appreciate the beauty of Wuyi Mountain's 'Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns'. 🚤Bamboo raft 130/person, about an hour and a half. If it's the peak season, book your tickets in advance, if there are no tickets online, you can book on-site at the dock. Try to take it in the morning when the temperature is not high, the sun is not strong, and there are more fish in the water. There are many vendors selling shoe covers at the dock, but they are not very useful (not needed at all). However, if you're interested, you can buy some fish food, and when you feed the fish, the water surface becomes as lively as a boiling pot~ 📢Explanation: 20/person, whether this 'tip' is worth it depends on your luck. If you meet a good boatman, they will patiently explain the local customs, features along the way, and strange rock formations, and will stop at some viewing points to help everyone take photos; but it is said that some boatmen will make inappropriate jokes all the way, which is offensive; or if everyone on the boat refuses to pay, the boatman will quickly row to the end... 8⃣ At the end of the bamboo raft ride, you will pass through Song Street, which is actually a shopping street, with a Wuyi Mountain Museum in between where you can see hanging coffins. Continuing forward is Wuyi Palace, a few minutes' walk will take you to the entrance of Dawangfeng (Great King Peak) for climbing. Further on, there is the Guanyu Platform, Zhizhi An, and a very photogenic stone carving wall. 9⃣ Dawangfeng (Great King Peak), one of the iconic attractions of Wuyi Mountain, not recommended for those with insufficient physical strength. 1⃣0⃣ Zhizhi An. An ancient temple with a serene environment and tranquil atmosphere. 1⃣1⃣ Baiyun Zen Temple.

Wuyi Mountain, an intoxicating tourist destination, sharing multiple experiences of visits, making your trip planning easy and your experience enjoyable! 😊 When and where? The timing of travel is crucial. The best season for Wuyi Mountain is summer, especially around the National Day, when it is the high water period with pleasant scenery. Attractions with sufficient water are more magnificent. It is best to arrange the travel time for two to three days, with two days being slightly tight, while three days are more leisurely. 🌞 Exploring ways to play: For Wuyi Mountain, going on your own is the first choice. Don't be attracted by the low prices of group tours, which usually lure you in with sweet talk and then rip you off. The quality of group tours is also hard to guarantee. Taking the initiative, driving yourself or arranging your own itinerary is a better choice. 🚗 Transportation: Self-driving or high-speed rail are convenient options. Nanping City Station, formerly known as Wuyishan East Station, is well connected by public transport, with light rail and buses going directly to the scenic area. Wuyishan North Station is in the city area, with fewer trains and only buses available. 🚄 Sightseeing: Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area has several independent attractions, including Tianyou Peak, Jiuqu Bamboo Raft, One-Line Sky, Huxiao Rock, Dahongpao, Shuilian Cave, and Wuyi Palace as the core spots. Don't miss the open-air situational drama at night - Impression Dahongpao, directed by Zhang Yimou, it's a spectacle not to be missed. 🏞🌌 Accommodation: Recommended are the local government-supported homestay villages, which offer good value for money and are close to the scenic area. A good homestay not only has affordable prices but also has an enthusiastic owner, clean and tidy rooms, and provides detailed travel planning for first-time visitors, saving both worry and money. 🏡💰 Cuisine: The taste of Wuyi Mountain is similar to that of Jiangxi, mainly spicy and salty. Specialties include smoked goose, which is fragrant and can be vacuum-packed to take home; the local tea industry is also unique; Vietnamese noodles and Zixi noodles are representative local snacks, leaving a lasting impression. 🌶🍜 Finally, mindset is everything! Ultimately, the joy of travel lies in having an open mind and relaxing. The beautiful scenery and special cuisine of Wuyi Mountain are worth savoring. As the founder of the 'pit-stepping method', I welcome everyone to share their experiences and provide better pit-avoiding advice for those who come after. When traveling, your mindset determines how much fun you have! 😄✈

🚅 Wuyi Mountain Transportation Take the high-speed train to Wuyi Mountain Station/Nanping Station. Wuyi Mountain Station is closer to the Sanggu Resort area. If you get off at Nanping Station, you can take the tram for about 40 minutes to reach Wuyi Mountain Station, with a fare of 10 yuan, and there is a tram every 15-20 minutes. When you reach the terminal station and come out, the South Gate of Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area is right across the street. Route 1️⃣ Jiuquxi Rafting—Wuyi Palace—Song Street—Zhizhi An 🌊 Jiuquxi Rafting: After arriving at the south gate of the scenic area, you can take a sightseeing bus to the bamboo raft ticket office. The whole bamboo raft journey is about 1h40min, 130 yuan per person. Each bamboo raft can accommodate 8 people. After boarding the raft, the passengers will discuss whether they want an explanation, which costs 20 yuan per person. Personally, I suggest getting the explanation, otherwise, you're just taking a raft ride and looking at the mountains without knowing anything. The end point of the bamboo raft is Wuyi Palace, where you can visit Wuyi Palace and Song Street, and then head towards Zhizhi An. On the way to Zhizhi An, there is a fish viewing spot where the stream is very clear, and you can see the red-eyed fish. Wuyi Palace, Song Street: Located at the end of the Jiuquxi rafting, Wuyi Palace, also known as Huixian Temple, Chongyou Temple, and Wannian Palace, is the place where emperors of past dynasties worshipped the Wuyi God. 👍🏻 Zhizhi An: My favorite hidden gem on this route! A thousand-year-old ancient temple, Taoism talks about thirty-six heavenly caves, and Zhizhi An is the 'sixteenth heavenly cave'. The name comes from 'act when it's time to act, stop when it's time to stop'. Route 2️⃣ Dahongpao Scenic Area—Tianxin Yongle Zen Temple Dahongpao Scenic Area: Don't just go to see the Dahongpao mother tree when visiting the Dahongpao Scenic Area. At the fork under the Dahongpao mother tree, you will see a sign for p5. Follow this route from the Dahongpao mother tree to the Shuilian Cave. You won't be disappointed by this path, be sure to complete the entire journey! It's a super purifying journey for the body and soul. Tianxin Yongle Zen Temple: You can take the scenic area bus to the Dahongpao attraction, then climb a short distance to reach it, or you can use Didi or a private car (which needs to be reported), and vehicles can drive directly to the parking lot of Tianxin Yongle Zen Temple, where there is a special QR code to scan and report for parking. In addition to the main halls, don't miss the old residences on the mountain. Route 3️⃣ Tongmu Village/Tongmu Pass (Cucumber Waterfall - Qinglong Waterfall - Hongxing Village - Tongmu Pass) Tongmu Pass is located at the border of Fujian Province and Jiangxi Province. It is the birthplace of black tea in the world and the original production area of 'Lapsang Souchong' and 'Jin Jun Mei' in China and even the world. When traveling to Wuyi Mountain, be sure to arrange a day to come here to breathe in oxygen and experience nature. It's like an unspoiled primeval forest that hasn't been polluted, and entering on a rainy day is like arriving in a misty fairyland. Due to special environmental protection, you need a local person to help report in advance to enter. The only way to visit is by self-driving or renting a car. Here you can feed monkeys, and the small shops sell monkey food, but the monkeys didn't come out because it rained the day we went 🥲 🥘 Outside the Scenic Area for Food and Accommodation: For dining, you can go to the old street, where there are more options in the living area. Be sure to try the local specialties, Guangbing and Vietnamese Pho 🤩 For accommodation, there are many homestays in Wuyi Mountain, and it is more convenient to stay near the Sanggu Resort area.

Special Forces Two-Day Tour Strategy (with route) ✔️ Took the bamboo raft ✔️ Climbed Tianyou Peak ✔️ Walked the ancient trail of Rock Bone and Fragrant Flowers ✔️ Watched the Impression of Dahongpao ✔️ Saw the sunrise at Baiyun Zen Temple ✔️ Ate Guangbing and Zixi noodles - ①: Take the high-speed train to Nanping Station, then take bus K1 to the city center. Scan the code when boarding, the whole journey costs ¥10, about 40 minutes. ②: The next morning, head to the south gate of the scenic area and take the sightseeing bus to the bamboo raft pier, about 15min. After getting off the bus, you can buy fish food along the way to feed the fish while on the bamboo raft. ③: After getting off the bamboo raft, take the sightseeing bus to the Tianyou Peak station, the round trip takes about 2h. The actual climbing time on the narrow path is about 30min, or 40min if it's crowded. The altitude is over 400 meters, not very difficult. ④: After descending the mountain, go to Min Flavor Private Kitchen for a meal, then return to the hotel to rest. ⑤: Arrive at the north gate of the scenic area at 16:10, take the sightseeing bus to the Shuilian Cave station and walk for 20min, enter the ancient trail of Rock Bone and Fragrant Flowers at 16:50. The scenery along the way is nice, we took the reverse route, which seemed less crowded. It took 1h, passing by the Mother Tree, to reach the Dahongpao sightseeing bus station. ⑥: Return to the hotel to rest and wash up, as we bought tickets for the last show, there was plenty of time. ⑦: Visit Sanggu Street, ate Guangbing and Zixi noodles, then walked to the performance venue, also visited Impression Jianzhou (quite average). - ⑧: Get up early the next day to watch the sunrise at Baiyun Zen Temple, it took 30min to climb up, reached the top at five o'clock, vaguely seeing the clouds and morning glow. After descending, head straight back to the hotel to catch up on sleep, then start the return journey. ———————— 📍Key TIPS are here! 1️⃣ Bamboo raft tickets should be booked three to four days in advance, July and August are peak seasons, and it's easy to miss out on tickets if you buy on-site, disrupting your itinerary. 2️⃣ Bamboo raft tickets and sightseeing bus tickets are bundled, regular social vehicles are not allowed in the scenic area, and bamboo raft tickets alone need to be purchased on-site at the pier. Considering the first point, it is still recommended to buy in advance. Also, if needed: you can contact customer service by phone to issue an electronic invoice. 3️⃣ Min Flavor Private Kitchen is quite delicious, worth a try, but there are many people queuing up at night, it is close to the south gate of the scenic area, you can go directly out to eat. 4️⃣ It is recommended to reserve more than 3 hours for the total journey of Shuilian Cave + Mother Tree + ancient trail of Rock Bone and Fragrant Flowers. We were worried about missing the sightseeing bus, so we walked fast and did not go to Shuilian Cave. 5️⃣ It is best to buy tickets for Impression Dahongpao one week in advance recently, the seller is raising the price, not recommended. 6️⃣ Although the scenery of Baiyun Zen Temple is beautiful, there is a shaky part of the path where only one or two people can go down at a time, and you have to queue up when there are many people. 7️⃣ We bought tickets for the 7:10 bamboo raft, and they let us check in even half an hour late. It's best to bring an umbrella when on the bamboo raft, the whole journey lasts more than an hour, and the sun is already very strong at eight or nine o'clock.
