Dawang Peak, with an altitude of nearly 530 meters, is the first peak encountered when entering the Jiuxi River. Due to its unique shape, it is also known as Shamao Rock or Tianzhu Peak. The shape shown in Figure 2 can be photographed near the stream by Yunu Peak.
The route to the summit: The starting point for the front mountain is at Wuyi Palace, which is relatively easy to climb; the back mountain starts from Zhizhi Temple, where there are fewer people.
Xu Xiake and Dawang Peak: Xu Xiake entered the mountain from this point, hence the "Xu Xiake's Entry Point" archway and statue of Xu Xiake at the foot of the mountain, commemorating his "Three-Day Tour of Wuyi Mountain." However, climbing Dawang Peak was much more difficult for Xu Xiake back then; he recorded that he climbed many ladders to reach the top, making it a truly "wild climbing route"!

When talking about Wuyi Mountain rock tea, Xigua must have a place. It is very interesting to visit here if you have the opportunity. The whole tour route is well designed, covering everything from the history of Dahongpao to the tea planting and tea making process. You can also watch tea ceremony performances and taste various grades of rock tea. It can be regarded as a very meaningful tea culture tour.

I ran around and walked around.
It was a fantastic spot.
This area of rock formations feels like the perfect place for a tiger to roar.
There are many places on the mountain where you can enjoy the scenery while climbing.
It feels like the scenery is unique here.
The hike wasn't tiring at all.
The slope wasn't steep, so it didn't feel strenuous.
On the contrary, it felt like a good workout.
It was a very enjoyable hiking trip.

We arrived at the Water Curtain Cave scenic spot at 4 pm. It is a flat rock cave formed by a collapse, with surface water cascading down from the mountain stream and cliffs at the top. However, the water level was low today, so we could only see a thin line of water.

三山五岳全部都走过，黄山(清明节刚刚时隔整整24年登上黄山故地重游了一番)、庐山、泰山、嵩山都去了两次了，山水甲天下的桂林也去了两次(五一假期刚刚时隔整整二十年来到了桂林故地重游了一遍)，但我最喜欢的中国名山还是秀甲东南的福建武夷山，之前已经去了三次了，不过最近一次已经是十年前的2015年了。所以，2025年的端午节第四次奔赴了这个中国仅有的四个世界自然和文化双遗产地之一。武夷精舍位于天游峰脚下，是游览天游峰时的必经之地，是朱熹曾经讲学的地方，游览后可以让游客对程朱理学有更加深入的了解。
