Wuyishan National Park

Wuyishan National Park

4.6/5
13.4k reviews
Wuyishan National Park is located in the northern section of the Wuyishan mountain range in northwestern Fujian, stretching across the border area between Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. It is one of China's first established national parks, and Wuyishan itself was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for both culture and nature as early as 1999. The park was formed by integrating the former Wuyishan National Nature Reserve and Wuyishan Scenic Area: the Tongmu area in the north focuses on ecological conservation and scientific research, preserving a rare intact mid-subtropical forest ecosystem at this latitude. The main peak of the Wuyishan range, Mount Huanggang, is also located here, and this core area does not offer regular tourism activities. Sightseeing activities are concentrated in the scenic areas along both banks of the Nine-bend Stream, namely the four major sections: Tianyou Peak to Taoyuan Cave, Nine-bend Stream to Wuyi Palace, One-line Sky to Tiger Roaring Rock, and Dahongpao to Water Curtain Cave. The attractions in the scenic area are relatively scattered with considerable distance between them. A leisurely visit typically requires two to three days. If you only have one day, start by ascending Tianyou Peak for a panoramic view of the emerald waters and crimson mountains along the Nine-bend Stream, then take a bamboo raft downstream from Xingcun Wharf. Along the way, you'll pass landmarks like Jade Maiden Peak, Great King Peak, cliff inscriptions, and suspended boat coffins. The rafting journey ends at Wuyi Palace, making it an ideal classic route. Tea enthusiasts may prefer spending time on the leisurely Rock Bone Floral Trail between Dahongpao and Water Curtain Cave. This gentle path connects core Wuyi rock tea production areas like Liuxiangjian and Huiyuankeng, offering a uniquely fragrant experience. With two days, you can cover all four major sections. For more time, consider visiting the ancient tea merchants' residences in Xiamei Village, the starting point of the ancient Tea Horse Road, or exploring the ruins of the Minyue King's City near Chengcun Village—the latter also being part of Wuyishan's world heritage site. Bamboo rafting is very popular, so please make arrangements in advance during peak season. To get close to the ecological heart of the park, you can take the Wuyishan National Park No. 1 scenic route. Places like Moon Bay and Qinglong Waterfall are suitable for self-drive or private charter. As for food, street snacks like flat meat dumplings and Vietnamese noodles are common, while Langu smoked goose and local dishes cooked with alpine bamboo shoots and mushrooms are also worth trying.China · Wuyishan
Yunshuiyao Ancient Town
No. 4 of Night Attractions in Fujian

Yunshuiyao Ancient Town

7.8
4.4/5
4.6k reviews
Yunshuiyao Ancient Town was originally named Changjiao, but gained fame after the film "The Knot" was filmed here. The ancient village subsequently adopted the movie's name and has now become a highly popular stop in the Fujian Tulou area. The attraction consists of three parts—Yunshuiyao Ancient Town, Hegui Building, and Huaiyuan Building—stretching along the Changjiao River. The ancient village sits in the middle, with the two tulou buildings at either end of the river, all connected by a walkable route. The five-story Hegui Building stands out with its striking square structure, a rare tall rectangular tulou. What's more remarkable is that it was built entirely on marshland, supported by pinewood piles that have held firm for over 200 years, earning it the nickname "Noah's Ark on land." In its central courtyard lies a small sunken pebble area that remains perpetually damp - stepping on it and gently stomping reveals subtle vibrations beneath your feet. The compound also features two ancient wells positioned close together: one with clear water and the other with turbid water, locally called the "yin-yang wells." In contrast, the Huaiyuan Building embodies a different character. This concentric circular tulou features an ancestral hall named "This Is the Room" at its inner ring's center, which once served as the Jian family's private school. Its intricately carved beams and rafters showcase exquisite craftsmanship, inviting close examination of the tulou's interior artistry. Nestled between buildings, this ancient town invites leisurely exploration: A dozen century-old banyan trees line the stream with aerial roots dipping into the water. Cobblestone paths wind along the bank beside creaking waterwheels, while stone bridges span murmuring streams where white ducks waddle—painting a pastoral scene.Nanjing County · 76.7 km from Zhangping
Zhonggu Cableway
No. 5 of Best Things to Do in Fujian

Zhonggu Cableway

8.1
4.6/5
8.1k reviews
The Zhonggu Cableway is an elevated sightseeing cable car spanning the Wanshi mountains in Xiamen. Its lower station is located near the west gate of Xiamen botanical garden and the Zhonggu Mountain tunnel entrance. The route passes the botanical garden, Huxi Rock, and Hongshan area, extending all the way to the Wulao Peak behind Nanputuo temple, covering over 1,000 m in total. The cable car features semi-open two-person gondolas without window panes, offering unobstructed views where mountain breezes brush past your face. Once seated, you'll be suspended above layers of greenery and city rooftops. The round-trip itinerary takes approx. 40 mins. Upon reaching the terminal station, the train returns along the same route without requiring transfers. From this elevated vantage point, you can take in Xiamen's mountains, sea, and cityscape all at once: below lies the lush forest and rugged rocks of the botanical garden, while a turn of the head reveals the temple eaves of Nanputuo temple. In the distance, Gulangyu island, the twin towers, and the open sea unfold in sequence—on clear days, you can even spot the islands toward Kinmen. Along the way, the train passes original wartime tunnels and wind-eroded boulders, adding a touch of historical ambiance to this aerial journey. For a more enjoyable experience, you may choose the departure time slot around sunset when the sea and city skyline under the evening glow make for particularly stunning photos. This time slot is often in high demand. The cable car baskets are open on all sides, so travelers who are sensitive to wind should pick a clear and less windy day. The cable car may suspend operations in case of strong winds, thunderstorms, or other adverse weather conditions. It is advisable to check the day's situation before departure.China · Xiamen

It's definitely worth a visit. The lush green tea gardens and pink cherry blossoms complement each other beautifully, and there are red, blue, and pink trains running through the park, creating a strong spring atmosphere. The only downside is that there are no places to buy bottled water along the way.

Jiupengxi Scenic Area is located in Nanyang Township, Zhangping City, and is one of the core scenic spots of Tiantai National Forest Park. In fact, it is a tea mountain and tea garden with beautiful scenery. The ecological environment of the scenic area is very good and it is a natural oxygen bar.

The main attractions included in the package ticket are Shuzhuang, Sunlight Rock, and the Palace Museum. There's also an organ performance in the Bagua Building. Otherwise, you can skip the rest. The price is similar to snowboarding, but one yard saves some time.

Excellent value for money! Only have to pay for the buses and bamboo raft. We spent 2 days and covered most the park. Lovely!

It is worth recommending. You can go and learn about it. Basically, when you are rowing, the lifeguard will laugh when you fall into the water. The first thing to do is to save the life raft.

The most convenient way to enter Xiamen Botanical Garden is from the West Gate, as the subway and bus stations are nearby. The South Gate is best accessed via the popular mountain escalator. The garden is large, and taking the electric cart is a time-saving and energy-efficient option. The tropical rainforest area features timed misting systems, creating a fairytale-like atmosphere. The succulent area boasts a wide variety of succulents, making it a worthwhile destination for photos. The flower area offers many beautiful blooms.

After exploring the Beibu Gulf Corridor on the northern route, we chose a nearby seafood restaurant, Xiaobailou, for lunch. It's worth mentioning that this is the only restaurant in the Beibu Gulf area, and the owners are three veterans—easygoing and reliable. The landlady is very attentive, helping us order and reminding us of portion sizes. The seafood is fresh, prepared in a home-style way, without being overly flavorful, and the taste is excellent value for money. That evening, we stayed at the Beibu Gulf Innovation and Entrepreneurship Cluster Youth Hostel. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The location is great for visiting the northern route attractions, convenient for going to Changjiang'ao and the Windmill Forest. Overall, the trip was hassle-free in terms of both food and accommodation, without any unnecessary hassles. If you're visiting the Beibu Gulf area and want to eat seafood or find a place to stay, these two places are worth trying.

Surrounded by green mountains, the Changjiao River flows through the village. The ancient earthen buildings and towering banyan trees are full of charm. Away from the hustle and bustle, stroll along the ancient paths and immerse yourself in the leisurely years of an ancient Minnan village.

Overall, I'd give it 4 stars! There weren't many people at midday, and you can see the botanical garden right next door. The scenery is roughly as shown in the picture below. I recommend going in the afternoon at sunset; the scenery should be even more beautiful! The overall duration was reasonable; it was nice to enjoy the autumn breeze. 👍
