Golden Autumn in Wuyi Mountain: A Three-Day, Two-Night Travel Guide! A Leisurely Journey Amidst Tea Fragrance and Scenic Waters!

Wuyi Mountain in October features clear skies and fresh air, red mountains and green waters. The forests gradually change colors, making it the perfect season to "walk in a painting." Avoid the crowds and immerse yourself in the world’s dual heritage sites. 🗓 Itinerary Day 1: Arrive in Nanping/Wuyi Mountain → Check into a tea-scented guesthouse near the scenic area Take the high-speed train directly to Wuyishan East Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride to Sangu Resort Area (about 30 RMB). Stay in a unique guesthouse with tea garden views (💰600 RMB/night). In the afternoon, leisurely visit Wuyi Palace and Song Street to experience ancient charm and tea culture. For dinner, enjoy Lan Valley smoked goose and mushroom hot pot, about 70 RMB per person for a satisfying meal. Day 2: Nine-Bend Stream bamboo rafting + Tianyou Peak + Rock Bone and Floral Fragrance Trail Start early with the signature activity: Nine-Bend Stream bamboo rafting (130 RMB/person). The clear water winds around the red mountains, picturesque like a poem or painting—every snapshot is wallpaper-worthy! In the afternoon, climb Tianyou Peak (ticket included, 125 RMB) and enjoy a panoramic view of the Nine-Bend Stream from the summit, truly magnificent. At dusk, stroll along the Rock Bone and Floral Fragrance Trail, walking from Water Curtain Cave to the Dahongpao Scenic Area. Along the way, tea fields are lush and birdsong is gentle, healing both body and mind. Day 3: Xingcun tea picking experience + return trip In the morning, head to Xingcun Town tea gardens to participate in tea picking and tea frying experiences (free or minimal cost). Taste a freshly brewed cup of Dahongpao tea, fragrant and sweet, and bring some tea gifts home. In the afternoon, return to the station for a relaxed journey home, leaving fatigue behind. 💰 Budget Details (per person): Transportation (round-trip high-speed train/airfare): about 1200 RMB (depending on departure city) Accommodation: 600 × 2 = 1200 RMB Meals + snacks: 70 + 80 + 50 = 200 RMB Tickets + bamboo rafting + transportation: 130 + 125 + 50 ≈ 305 RMB ✅ Total: about 2905 RMB, a 3000 RMB budget is just right! This autumn, don’t just think about the northern red leaves. Come to Wuyi Mountain, walk a tea-scented path, raft the clear waters of the Nine-Bend Stream, let your parents slow down, and let yourself find peace.
