In early winter, the ginkgo trees in Nanping turn yellow and the dawn redwoods turn red, making the land of northern Fujian look like nature’s spilled palette. Gaoxing Road, located at the junction of Zheyang Village and Gaosuban Village in Wuyi Street, is a paradise for self-driving and photography enthusiasts. Every autumn and winter, the tall, straight dawn redwoods change from green to red, forming a spectacular "golden tunnel." The best viewing time is from mid-November to December. Standing in the middle of the road, use the natural depth of the dawn redwoods to capture people or vehicles entering the forest scene; between 3 and 5 p.m., under side backlighting, the light penetrating the leaves can create a translucent golden-red hue and tree shadow outlines; shooting at a low angle the moment car wheels roll over the fallen leaves can create a dynamic and seasonal feel. Navigate by car to "Gaoxing Road"; it takes about 20 to 40 minutes from Wuyishan city center or the resort area. On Jiangxing Highway in Masha Town, Jianyang District, dawn redwoods are neatly lined on both sides, forming a long red leaf archway. The best viewing time is from early to mid-December. Use slow shutter speed at the curve to capture car light trails against the red dawn redwood forest background; focusing on a cluster of beautifully shaped red branches or the richly layered fallen leaves on the ground can also yield beautiful photos. Come to Nanping to capture this limited-edition winter color palette and create wonderful memories!

Who says winter is only for staying cooped up in bed? I just returned from Wuyi Mountain in December, and the "fairy route" at Tianyou Peak completely captivated me! No crowds, plenty of sea of clouds, and abundant rock tea. After this trip, my phone memory was full, and my heart was warmed by northern Fujian. I'm quickly sharing this hot guide with you; just copy it👇 I. First, let's talk about the destination Tianyou Peak = Wuyi Mountain's prime spot, with an elevation of 408 meters and 848 steps. You can reach the summit in 20 minutes, which is extremely friendly to office workers' fitness levels. Standing at the summit, the Nine-Bend Stream makes a big "Ω" turn, bamboo rafts look like ant trails, and in the distance, the sea of clouds covers the ridges like fondant. No wonder Xu Xiake said, "Without being by the stream, one can still fully appreciate the beauty of the Nine Bends." In December, the average daily temperature is 10-15℃. The mountain breeze carries a hint of mint, and one breath instantly clears your mind, more effective than an iced Americano. II. Best travel time🕒 December - January! The reasons are simple and straightforward: 1. Fewer crowds, no need to book tickets, and photos come with a "private venue filter." 2. High humidity + large day-night temperature difference, resulting in a 70% chance of seeing a sea of clouds. 3. Tea trees are dormant, so polyphenol content is high. Tea farmers will offer "winter leaves" (Dongpian) from before the first spring harvest, which are incredibly fragrant and free. III. My half-day itinerary 8:30 Enter from the South Gate → Take the scenic shuttle to Yinping Peak Station → Walk 5 minutes to the foot of Tianyou Peak → 9:00 Officially start climbing 9:25 Reach the summit → Take photos of the sea of clouds + aerial shots → 9:50 Descend → 10:15 Head straight to "Tianyou Teahouse" for free tea → 11:00 Take the scenic shuttle to Zhuxi Garden for a free guided tour → 11:30 Finish and return to the hotel for a nap. Tips: The steps have handrails and are not slippery in winter; bring a cup of hot water, which will turn into warm tea in 5 minutes at the summit, eco-friendly and stomach-warming. IV. Local Delicacies🍜 1. Langu Smoked Goose: "Lao Chen Smoked Goose" shop outside the scenic area, 88 yuan/half, fruitwood smoked aroma + spicy dry dip, you won't be able to stop eating. 2. Guozai: Wuyi Mountain's version of "small noodles," the broth is pork bone + cinnamon, 3 yuan a bowl, add the owner's homemade chili sauce, it's heavenly. 3. Zhengyan Rougui Milk Tea: The newly opened "Chali Chaqi" near the South Gate uses real Rougui tea broth + fresh milk, 0 artificial flavors. In December, the second cup is half price, a perfect hand warmer. V. How to buy souvenirs without stepping on landmines🛍️ 1. Rock Tea: Don't blindly believe in "Niurou" (Niulankeng Rougui), genuine ones cost 3000+ yuan per jin. For students, directly buy "Huiyuan Shuixian" half-jin pack, 300 yuan for an orchid aroma. Official scenic area stores offer traceability. 2. Bamboo Tea Tray: "Mianjiang Studio" by the Nine-Bend Stream, engrave your name on-site, small ones are 98 yuan, instantly making your desk artistic. 3. Red Mushrooms: Locals say "no worms, no red," meaning real ones have wormholes; supermarket price 1200/jin, villagers' roadside stalls 800, remember to bargain for half price. VI. Heartfelt small tips - Outfit: A jacket + fleece + scarf is enough. The wind at the summit is strong, don't wear down jackets as they look bulky in photos. - Transportation: High-speed rail to "Nanping City Station," a 40-minute taxi ride to Wuyi Mountain city area. Didi fixed price is 120 yuan, more reliable than illegal taxis. - Accommodation: "Jiujie Yihao" guesthouse near the South Gate, 300 yuan/night in the off-season December. Open the window to see Dawang Peak, the owner lends hiking poles for free. - Safety: The steps can be damp, so wear shoes with deep treads. Don't be like me wearing dad shoes, I almost did the splits on the spot. - Environmental Protection: No matter how beautiful the sea of clouds is, do not cross the guardrails. If caught by a drone, you'll be fined 200 yuan and have to write a self-criticism, a truly embarrassing moment. On the way down, I met a tea-picking grandma who gave me a handful of "winter leaves." I brewed them in my thermos back at the hotel, and with hot water, the floral aroma went straight to my head. At that moment, I suddenly understood: travel is about placing yourself in a moving landscape painting, and then returning home with a mouth full of tea fragrance. Wuyi Mountain in December, with fewer people, wilder scenery, and even wilder tea. If you want to "steal half a day of leisure," just go for it!

Every November, along the Chongyang Creek Trail on Scenic Route No. 1 in Wuyi Mountain National Park, a group of rare visitors arrive — winter migratory birds like white cranes and swans, instantly turning the Hundred-Mile Gallery into a lively bird paradise～ / - White Crane Fun Facts - The white crane is a national first-class protected animal and is also known as a "living fossil" among birds. It is commonly called the "immortal crane" in folklore. It is a large wading bird, with a pure white body when standing, bright red on the chest and forehead, and distinctive black wingtips when flying. There are fewer than 6,000 white cranes worldwide, classified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Seeing them at Chongyang Creek is truly a stroke of luck~ - Diet and Habits - White cranes feed on aquatic plant roots and rhizomes, occasionally catching small fish and shrimp. They prefer shallow water mudflats and require very high water quality — their presence is itself an ecological certification. / 📍Location: Xian Village, Jiangkoutown, Jianyang District, Nanping City 🚗Transportation: Recommended to drive; there are multiple viewing platforms and parking areas along the way, free to access ⏰Best Times: · Early morning 6:00-7:30: soft morning light, birds actively foraging · Late afternoon 16:30-17:00: backlit silhouettes are dreamy, feathers clearly visible / - Photography Tips - 1. Avoid wearing bright clothing to prevent scaring the birds 2. Drones are not allowed 3. Birdwatching in winter can be windy, dress warmly / 📷: Special thanks to👇 Photo provider

From November 12 to 16, a 5-day, 4-night itinerary filled with laughter all along the way. We enjoyed natural landscapes, listened to history and culture, and tasted local delicacies. Although there was a little "regret," it also gave us a reason for "next time," so let's look forward to our next trip! Day 1: Took the high-speed train in the morning to Nanping City, then took the light rail for 40 minutes from Nanping Station to Wuyishan. After checking in, it was about 2 PM. It drizzled that day, and the kid’s pants and shoes got wet from walking, so we didn’t want to go out again. We chose to stroll inside the hotel, adults lying down scrolling on phones, and the kid resting and doing some homework. In the evening, we went to Sangu Old Street to find food and took a walk around. Day 2: Bamboo raft drifting on the Nine-bend Creek in the morning. Bought fish food for 20 yuan outside the scenic area. The kids enjoyed the scenery, chatting, and feeding the little fish, staying excited the whole time. After getting off the raft, we took a walk along “Song Street—Wuyigong—Fish Viewing Pond—Zhizhi An.” Personally, I thought the Fish Viewing Pond was quite nice; the fish here are “red-eyed fish,” many and large, completely different in size from the little fish fed during the bamboo raft drifting. Zhizhi An was just a gate to look at, not very interesting. In the afternoon, we climbed Tianyou Peak, over 800 steps, some steep, some gentle. We climbed and rested, taking about an hour. Standing on the top overlooking the Nine-bend Creek, shouting loudly gave a lasting sense of conquering a mountain that kept us excited. We didn’t return the same way down but took another path that was much gentler. Day 3: Took the high-speed train from Wuyishan to Fuzhou. At Sanfang Qixiang, we did flower hairpin dressing only, 40 yuan per person. We handled clothes, makeup, and photos ourselves. Because the hair accessories were too heavy and the three kids started getting hungry, we took off the hairpins early. After dinner, we returned to the hotel. Not sure why the kids liked the hotel room so much! Day 4: Morning city walk at Yantai Mountain, strolling along “Most Beautiful Corner—Yantai Mountain Park—Art Museum.” This kind of city walk was a bit boring for the kids, no exciting points. We showed them a video of the Gushan Cable Car, and they got excited immediately, so we canceled the planned Shangxiahang and switched to the Gushan Cable Car. The view from Gushan was great, overlooking the entire Fuzhou city. We hoped to catch the sunset, but although it was clear in the morning, the sky was half clear and half cloudy in the evening, with dense clouds on the sunset side. The cable car line going down was insanely long, with huge crowds. We waited nearly an hour, the longest queue we encountered during the autumn holiday, no exception. If it hadn’t been so cold at the top, we wouldn’t have rushed down, wanting to enjoy Fuzhou’s night view. Day 5: Because on the flower hairpin day we only focused on taking photos and didn’t properly explore Sanfang Qixiang, we decided to go again. We planned to end at the Lin Zexu Memorial Hall, but after taking photos inside, visiting the former residence, art museum, and exhibition hall, and buying some specialty milk tea, we found we didn’t have enough time. So we gave up the Lin Zexu Memorial Hall and ordered KFC delivery to the hotel for lunch. Personally, I think it’s better to listen to a guide at Sanfang Qixiang to understand it more deeply. Just a quick walk like we did doesn’t really capture much of the historical and cultural atmosphere.

Time: November 14, 2025 - November 16, 2025 Transportation: Departure: Friday, November 14, 2025, 18:41-22:03, Shanghai Hongqiao to Nanping City, 290 RMB Return: Sunday, November 16, 2025, 19:00-22:40, Nanping City to Shanghai Hongqiao (Tickets from Nanping and Wuyishan North for the return trip were very hard to get, so I bought tickets for a few more stops, purchasing a ticket boarding from Fuzhou), 409 RMB Accommodation: Sangu Resort All Season Hotel, 844 RMB for 2 nights; Transportation is very convenient, with bus line 9 (free scenic area shuttle) right at the hotel entrance that goes directly to Wuyigong and the bamboo raft drifting dock. It is also next to the food street, which is very lively at night with many delicious foods. Itinerary: DAY 1: From Shanghai to Nanping Station, take bus K1, 10 RMB to Sangu Resort, then have late-night snacks at roadside stalls with a combo of flat meat and fish ball soup before resting; purchased a 2-day scenic area sightseeing bus and bamboo raft drifting package (215 RMB per person) one day in advance, bamboo raft alone costs 130 RMB, can be bought via the official WeChat account; DAY 2: Take bus 6 or 7 (free) to the South Gate of the scenic area, then take the sightseeing bus to Tianyou Peak to start today's itinerary; Morning: Tianyou Peak Station - Wuyi Jing She - Yunwo - Tea Cave - Tianyou Peak - Taoyuan Cave - Tianyou Peak Station; Afternoon: Tianyou Peak Station - Huxiao Rock Station - Huxiao Rock - Yixiantian - Yixiantian Station - South Gate; DAY 3: Take bus 9 (free) to the bamboo raft dock, buy fish food to start drifting; Today's itinerary: Morning: Dock - Bamboo Raft Drifting (90-100 minutes) - Wuyi Palace - Song Street - Wuyi Junshen Palace - Zhizhi An - Wuyi Palace Station; Afternoon: Wuyi Palace Station - Dahongpao Station - Dahongpao Mother Tree - Rock Bone Flower Fragrance Trail - Eagle Beak Rock - Water Curtain Cave Station - South Gate; After the itinerary, took the light rail from South Gate to Nanping Station, 10 RMB Experience: Wuyishan truly lives up to being a dual heritage site (World Natural Heritage and World Cultural Heritage), with Danxia landforms and rich ecological environment. The Jiuqu Stream is very clean and clear. Compared to the various scenic spots, I personally prefer the trails between the spots, which are very comfortable to walk in autumn.

Make sure to visit Gaolaozhuang in the second half of November. Open that wooden door, on the eaves, in the courtyard, by the stone steps... Wherever you look, it's all brilliant. 📸 Photo and outfit guide: 🎨 · First choice — White/Beige: Highlights your skin tone and creates a clean, gentle scene with the golden ginkgo leaves! · Classic — Red/Blue: Strong contrasting colors that instantly stand out in the photo, vintage and eye-catching. · Advanced — Khaki/Camel/Oatmeal: Monochromatic matching to create a high-end vintage and forest vibe, making the overall picture harmonious and textured. 💡 Friendly reminder: Avoid wearing bright yellow or green clothes that are too close to the color of the ginkgo leaves, as they can easily blend into the background. 🚗 Travel treasure TIPS: ⏰ Recommended shooting times: 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM or 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM. At these times, the sunlight is slanted and soft, capturing the translucent glowing effect of the ginkgo and making skin tones look better. ✨ Advanced shooting tips: · Clever use of fallen leaves: Scatter leaves to create a dynamic feel, or lie down with a full ground of leaves as the background for overhead shots. · Use light and shadow: Look for dappled light formed by sunlight filtering through the leaves and take close-ups. · Diverse composition: Besides wide shots, take more details like hands holding leaves, a corner of the eaves, or leaves resting on shoulders to make the photo set more storytelling. Summary: Wear the right colors, pick the right time, and keep a good mood. —— Photo six is a high-angle shot taken at Shangjianlou. It was a quick, casual snap. ⭐ After coming out, don’t return the same way. Walk along the road toward the direction in photo 9 to check in at the Shanghu Wall sign and see a large area of lush bamboo forest 🎋.

📍Location: Anshan Mountain, Jianyang District, Nanping City 🚗Transportation: Approximately 30 minutes by car from Jianyang city (navigate to "Anshanzai," then follow the signs to the parking lot at the foot of the mountain). 🌟Recommended Reasons: 1️⃣ A Hidden Gem at 1020 Meters Altitude Anshan Mountain in Jianyang has an altitude of 1020 meters. Its main peak (commonly known as "Jade Emperor Peak") is located in Tongyou Street, Jianyang District, Nanping City, Fujian Province, and is a famous "First Famous Mountain East of Tandong." The round trip hiking trail takes about 3-4 hours, with stone steps and dirt paths interspersed along the way. Ancient trees tower overhead, and the mountain is especially enchanting when the rhododendrons bloom in early summer! 2️⃣ Encountering the Fragrant Vegetarian Meals at Lingquan Temple (A Thousand-Year-Old Temple) Lingquan Temple, located atop the mountain, was first built in the Tang Dynasty. The temple offers vegetarian meals daily from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM (free of charge; donations are welcome after the meal). Enjoying stir-fried bamboo shoots and wood ear mushrooms in the misty dining hall, even the chopsticks seem to carry a Zen-like quality. 3️⃣ A Chance Encounter with a National Class II Protected Animal I spotted three silver pheasants halfway up the mountain! Their long, snow-white tails as they strolled through the bamboo forest were simply ethereal! The monk said the chances of encountering them are higher at dawn and dusk; he'd also seen macaques and leopard cats! 🌄New Discovery!

My weekend mountain plans this year have basically covered more than 20 hiking routes around Hangzhou. This weekend, I started hiking out of the province. The first stop out of the province: Nanping, Fujian. 【About the Route】 1️⃣ Transportation: 🚄 2.5 hours from Hangzhou to 【Highlights】 1️⃣ Danxia Landform: Wuyi Mountain belongs to the Danxia landform. Along the way, you can see many oddly shaped red giant rocks rising from the ground, very spectacular 🤎 2️⃣ Colorful Forests: It’s autumn, with high skies and light clouds, the forests are dyed in layers of red, yellow, green, and more, clearly defined 🍂 3️⃣ Rock Bones and Tea Fragrance: China’s most beautiful tea trail, from Da Hong Pao to Liuxiangjian to Water Curtain Cave, a total of 4.5 km with stone steps, filled with the aroma of tea, refreshing and soothing 🪵 4️⃣ Thousand-Year-Old Ancient Temple: Huiyuan Zen Temple, built in the Song Dynasty, is said to be a thousand-year-old temple integrating the three teachings. If you’re not in a hurry, you can have some rock tea here and enjoy the peaceful moment brought by the harmony of nature and the ancient temple ☕️ 【Gear】 1️⃣ Carry System: Day hiking backpack + trekking poles + knee pads 2️⃣ Clothing System: Quick-dry long sleeves + quick-dry pants + quick-dry headscarf + sunglasses + gloves 3️⃣ Food System: Bring your own meals, coffee + snacks + fruit + energy gels + water 4️⃣ Medicine System: Motion sickness medicine + ibuprofen + stomach medicine + band-aids + mosquito repellent, just in case 5️⃣ Electronics System: Sports camera + sports watch + power bank + headlamp, headlamp is essential for walking at night 【Accommodation and Food Recommendations】 1️⃣ Accommodation: It’s recommended to stay near the “Sangu Resort Area,” which is more commercialized with many good restaurants, tea houses, and coffee shops, and close to the hiking start and end points 2️⃣ Food: You can try Minnan farmhouse dishes, and various noodle dishes are also delicious 【Notes】 1️⃣ Although Wuyi Mountain’s elevation is not high, the route involves a lot of ups and downs, so be sure to calculate the total hiking time carefully and try not to hike at night. We started climbing at 1 pm and ended up hiking down at night 🤣 2️⃣ There are several wild trail sections along the route. It’s fine if it’s not raining, but if it rains, be sure to wear anti-slip hiking shoes 3️⃣ Bring plenty of water, about 2-3 bottles per person, as there are no supply points on the mountain~

After starting work, it feels like I've completely become a "p person." The mountains and waters are very comfortable, and so are the people. Here's a rundown. Arrived in Nanping at noon on Saturday, first had a spicy and juicy lunch at Aihu Restaurant. The dragon claw mushrooms and bamboo shoots were delicious! Had a cup of Dahongpao milk tea with Dahongpao milk pudding and Dahongpao pearls, and vented to a good friend about the recent rough life. Entered the mountain at four o'clock, only to find out the sightseeing bus stops running at 5:30. Visited Yixiantian briefly and then left the mountain. In the evening, bought snacks at Sangu Old Street, tried Xiaoguang cake, smoked goose, and Zixi noodles. Went to a popular bar and had a drink, noticed "grass" was written as "glass" on the menu, but since we are well-versed in Fujian Mandarin, we chose not to tell the owner. Then returned to the hotel to watch movies, drink, and chat. The next day, bought a 9 a.m. ticket for the Jiujue bamboo raft (the latest available ticket). During the one-and-a-half-hour bamboo raft trip, listened to the boatman’s random chatter, watched little white fish competing for food and the sparkling water surface. Feeling very sleepy, I closed my eyes and took an early nap on the boat. After rafting, had Dahongpao ice cream, then went to challenge Huxiao Rock. Without any prior planning, I climbed down the so-called 70-degree Hero Slope, which made my legs a bit weak. Huxiao Rock is definitely worth climbing; in just over an hour, you can experience scenery far beyond that of a 500-meter hill. After returning to the hotel for dinner and a shower, I was lucky to catch the Cross-Strait Tea Expo. Before leaving, I spent an hour at the expo enjoying free Kung Fu tea. The villagers were very enthusiastic, and the two of us naturally blended into several tea stalls, listening to tea merchants and customers chatting about rock tea. Rock tea truly is heavily roasted; after drinking it, my palms felt warm and the roof of my mouth dry. Returned to Nanjing at 9 p.m., and the scale showed I had gained two pounds. Blame it all on how delicious Wuyi Mountain’s food is.

Compared to Xiamen, I love this small city recommended by National Geographic even more I've been to Wuyishan twice, and each time I've had a different experience. Today, I want to recommend this hidden gem of a small city in Nanping, Fujian, to everyone. It was once rated by National Geographic as one of the most worthwhile places to visit in China. Its unique Danxia landforms and profound tea culture make one truly want to live in seclusion here 😭😭😭 Below is a Wuyishan travel guide I've put together; you can directly copy this itinerary! 🚗 【About Transportation】 - 🚄 High-speed rail: You can take a direct high-speed train to Wuyishan North Station or Nanping Station. After exiting the station, you can take a bus or a taxi to the scenic area; transportation is very convenient. 🚶‍♂️ 【Itinerary】 - DAY 1: Arrive and check into Sangu Resort Area → Visit Wuyi Palace → Stroll along Song Street → Check in at the Mother Tree Dahongpao Scenic Area - DAY 2: Check in at Jade Maiden Peak → Climb Tianyou Peak → Visit Huxiao Rock → Walk through One-Line-Sky → Experience Nine-Bend Stream Rafting → Enjoy tea in the evening to relax - DAY 3: Get up early to watch the sunrise and sea of clouds at Baiyun Zen Temple → Continue to enjoy tea and experience tea culture during the day → Pack luggage and return 📸 【Photo & Travel Tips】 ✅ Mother Tree Dahongpao Scenic Area Regarding Dahongpao, there's a legend: In ancient times, a scholar on his way to the imperial examination fell ill with a cold while passing through Wuyishan. He recovered after drinking tea brewed by the old abbot of Tianxin Temple using local tea leaves. Later, the scholar passed the examination with flying colors and returned here to repay his gratitude, draping the red robe bestowed by the emperor over the tea trees. Thus, the name 'Dahongpao' was born. Today, these ancient tea trees are still protected within the scenic area; you must come and see them. The tea gardens here are lush green, and the aroma of tea is refreshing. Walking along the trails and enjoying the spring scenery will also make you feel exceptionally relaxed. ✅ Tianyou Peak The origin of Tianyou Peak's name is quite poetic: whenever a sea of clouds appears, standing on the summit feels like soaring through a heavenly palace, hence the name "Tianyou" (Heavenly Roam). Even Xu Xiake visited here multiple times, which speaks volumes about its charm, making it well worth a visit. ✅ Nine-Bend Stream Rafting Drifting down the Nine-Bend Stream on a bamboo raft, the water is crystal clear, the mountains on both banks undulate, strange peaks and rocks are visible everywhere, and the vegetation is very lush, making for absolutely stunning scenery 😎. Sitting on the bamboo raft, it feels as if you are walking through a painting, leisurely and healing. It's no exaggeration to call it "Little Guilin." ✅ Wuyishan Tea Tasting During my days in Wuyishan, I enjoyed tea with friends every day. This place is famous for Wuyi Rock Tea, and the most renowned among them is Dahongpao – it is one of China's top ten famous teas, a national treasure, whose unique "rock rhyme" and rich aroma make you love it more with every sip. There are many tea shops near Sangu Resort Area; I recommend "Buzhichun Zhai" and "Yinxi": Sitting in the shop, you can see the lush green scenery outside through the window, feeling like you're in a paradise. Whether for tea tasting or photo check-ins, the experience is superb.

Nanping is truly a treasure in Fujian, with clear mountains and waters and a rich cultural heritage. It’s not a bustling metropolis but a perfect place to calm your mind, walk slowly, and take in the sights at your own pace. Let me tell you all about it—I guarantee you’ll be itching to go after reading! First stop, it has to be Wuyi Mountain! Let me tell you, if you haven’t been to Wuyi Mountain, it’s like you haven’t really been to Nanping. This place is famous, and its reputation is well-deserved. But don’t think a famous spot just means crowds; the key is how you experience it. · Bamboo Raft Drifting on the Nine-Bend Creek: This is definitely the highlight! You have to try it at least once. Early in the morning, hop on a small bamboo raft made from several bamboo poles, and the boatman gently pushes with a bamboo pole. You’ll drift leisurely on the emerald-green water. The water is so clear you can see the pebbles below, and the oddly shaped mountains on both sides—like “Jade Maiden Peak” and “King Peak”—each has endless stories. The boatmen are usually quite entertaining, telling folk tales as they row. With the breeze on your face, you’ll forget all your worries! A heads-up: book your tickets in advance, as it’s very popular during peak season. · Climb Tianyou Peak: Want a panoramic view of the Nine-Bend Creek? Then you have to climb Tianyou Peak. The trail is a bit steep and will leave you breathless, but when you reach the viewing platform and see the winding creek and the continuous Danxia mountains below, you’ll feel every drop of sweat was worth it! The scenery is grand and breathtaking. · Yan Gu Hua Xiang Trail: If you don’t like crowds and want some peace, I highly recommend this trail. It’s quieter than the main scenic area, with tall rock walls and lush tea trees lining the path. The air carries a faint scent of grass and tea. Stroll slowly, check out the cliff inscriptions, and soak in the meaning of “Without tea from Wuyi, its fragrance is not strong”—it’s truly delightful. Second stop, experience Zhu Xi culture and ancient town charm Nanping isn’t just about natural beauty; it’s also where the great Confucian scholar Zhu Xi lived and taught for a long time, so the cultural atmosphere is strong. · Wuyi Palace & Song Street: After getting off the bamboo raft, you’ll find Wuyi Palace and Song Street right at the exit. Song Street is a later reconstruction but has a great vibe with bluestone paths and Song Dynasty-style buildings. Grab a drink, walk around, take photos—it feels like stepping back in time. · Wufu Town: If you’re especially interested in Zhu Xi culture, make a special trip to Wufu Town, Zhu Xi’s hometown. The town is quaint and charming, with Xingxian Ancient Street and Zhuzi Alley. Walking there, you can almost hear the clear voices of scholars studying in the past. · Xiamei Ancient Residences: This is a more original ancient village and the starting point of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Tall horse-head walls, deep ancient alleys, exquisite wood and stone carvings all tell the prosperous stories of tea merchants from the Jin dynasty. Chatting with a local elder, you can hear many stories not found in books. Let’s talk food to take your taste buds on a journey! When you’re in Nanping, you can’t miss the local cuisine. The flavors tend to be fresh, salty, and aromatic, with generous ingredients. · Langu Smoked Goose: This is definitely a signature dish of Nanping! It has a golden, translucent color with a unique smoky aroma. The meat is firm, salty with a hint of spiciness, very appetizing, and perfect with drinks or rice. · Wengong Dish: Created to honor Zhu Xi (posthumous title Wengong), this is a delicately made steamed bowl dish. The base is fragrant fried peanuts topped with slices of meat and eggs, steamed until tender and flavorful. It carries a great meaning and tastes delicious. · Cat’s Claw Mushrooms/Wild Vegetables: The Wuyi Mountain area has a great ecological environment with many mountain delicacies and wild vegetables. For example, mushrooms that look like cat’s claws or fresh seasonal wild greens, stir-fried or made into soup, all carry a fresh mountain flavor that’s hard to find in the city. · Guangbing/Xiaomu Bing: These are traditional local snacks. Guangbing is small, crispy, salty, and aromatic; Xiaomu Bing is softer with sweet or savory fillings. Legend has it they relate to Zhu Xi’s filial devotion to his mother and make great souvenirs. Travel tips: · Where to stay? I recommend staying in the Sangu Resort Area, where there are plenty of hotels, guesthouses, and restaurants, making it convenient to get around. If you want a quieter environment, you can also choose the Nanyuanling Guesthouse Village. · How to get there? Nanping has high-speed rail stations (Nanping Station/Nanping North Station), making it very convenient to reach Wuyi Mountain. By plane, you can fly to Wuyi Mountain Airport. · How many days? You should plan at least 3 to 4 days to roughly cover the essence of Wuyi Mountain and the surrounding ancient towns without rushing. · Best season: Spring and autumn are the most comfortable. Spring brings rhododendrons in full bloom, and autumn offers clear skies and gentle clouds. Summer is good for water activities but quite hot; winter has fewer people and better chances to see the sea of clouds. In short, Nanping is a place that requires you to slow down and savor. Don’t rush through the sights; slow your pace, hike and play in the water by day, and find a spot to enjoy tea and listen to the stream at night—that’s a true vacation. Wishing you a happy and fulfilling trip in Nanping!

Day 1⃣️: After work, I took the 18:41 high-speed train from Hongqiao Station, arriving in Nanping City at 21:59. There's a K1 bus stop right outside; it costs 10 yuan per person and basically takes you to all the major attractions and accommodations. The K1 bus schedule is based on the high-speed train schedule; the 10 yuan fare reaches the Sangu Resort Area. 🏠 All Seasons Hotel (Sangu Resort Area): Very convenient, right next to the Sangu Night Market, and the free No. 9 bus stop is right outside. Day 2⃣️: Tianyou Peak - Jade Maiden Peak - Wuyi Palace - Fish Viewing Platform - Zhizhi Nunnery. I took the free bus to Wuyishan Scenic Area, and bought tickets for the scenic area bus for 70 yuan per person on-site. Tianyou Peak: You can take the bus directly to Tianyou Peak Station. At the beginning of the climb, you can see the "Little One Line Sky". Tianyou Peak has 848 steps, some very high up to your calves. The scenery at the top is very nice, and the descent is relatively gentle. Jade Maiden Peak: Take a bus to Jade Maiden Peak. See the most famous photo spot in Wuyishan. Wuyi Palace - Fish Viewing Platform - Zhizhi Nunnery. Take a bus to Wuyi Palace and walk along the path to Fish Viewing Platform, then further in is Zhizhi Nunnery. You can see many red eyes (symbols of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism) at Fish Viewing Platform. Zhizhi Nunnery is currently under renovation and not open.
