Recommending an absolute hidden gem that will blow your mind

Right after the Lunar New Year holiday, while everyone was busy heading back, my friends and I embarked on a spontaneous getaway. The experience was simply amazing! A few days ago, Hangzhou was freezing, so we decided to find a warm and fun place with beautiful scenery to escape the cold. After much searching, we finally settled on Wuyishan in Nanping, Fujian. The high-speed train from Hangzhou only takes 2 hours, which is incredibly convenient. I have to say, Xu Xiake's description of Wuyishan's beautiful mountains and clear waters was spot on. There are many fun places to visit, and the best part is that traveling during the off-season means fewer crowds, stunning scenery, affordable prices, and even free admission to some attractions. The value for money is unbeatable! A super detailed itinerary to help you explore Wuyishan Day 1: Nine-Bend Stream bamboo raft → One Line Sky → Wuyi Palace → Song Street Day 2: Baiyun Temple → Zhizhi Nunnery → Wuyi Palace (by shuttle bus) → Tianyou Peak → Jade Maiden Peak → Taoyuan Cave Must-visit attractions, you'll regret missing them - Tianyou Peak: The ultimate viewing platform in Wuyishan. Reaching the top offers panoramic views of Wuyishan and the beautiful scenery of the Nine-Bend Stream. Although there are over 880 steps, the climb is not too tiring, and the scenery along the way is definitely worth it. - Jade Maiden Peak: Walk to the lakeside for a close-up view of the picturesque scenery. Every photo you take will be a masterpiece. - Nine-Bend Stream Bamboo Raft: A must-do activity in Wuyishan. The entire journey takes about 1.5 hours. Sitting on a bamboo raft, gliding between the green hills and clear waters on both sides, it feels like being in a painting. This activity has a separate fee. - Wuyi Palace: Located at the foot of Dawang Peak, it is the end point of the bamboo raft ride. It is connected to Song Street, which offers a variety of delicious food. It's a great place to stroll and eat. - Zhizhi Nunnery: First, go to the fish viewing area to feed the fish, then slowly walk towards the Zhizhi Nunnery Taoist temple. The path is quiet and serene, allowing for complete relaxation. - Baiyun Temple: It is recommended to take a taxi there. The sunrise and sea of clouds here are truly exceptional. Walking down from the temple, you can also see a large area of soft, green moss, as if you have stepped into a fairy tale world. Helpful tips for a smoother trip - Bamboo raft tickets: Highly recommend purchasing bamboo raft tickets for 12:20 pm. Remember to bring an umbrella, which can be used for both sun protection and as a photo prop. Give the boatman a 20-yuan tip, and he will explain the sights while rowing and even slow down for you to take photos. - Food: At the end of the bamboo raft ride, Wuyi Palace is connected to Song Street. Be sure to try the Dahongpao ice cream and tea eggs; they are delicious! - Tianyou Peak: Take the shuttle bus from Wuyi Palace to the Tianyou Peak stop. The round trip takes about 2 hours. Some sections of the path are quite steep, so those who are afraid of heights should be cautious. Also, there is no shade on the uphill sections, so be sure to take sun protection measures. - Tickets: Wuyishan Scenic Area is free of charge until June 30, 2025, but the scenic shuttle bus requires a separate purchase, costing 70 yuan for one day and 85 yuan for two days. The Nine-Bend Stream bamboo raft ticket costs 130 yuan. Transportation Guide You can take the high-speed train to Wuyishan North or Nanping Station. After arriving, take a taxi or the tram to the scenic area. The scenic area is open from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. It covers a large area and has multiple smaller attractions within. Although there are public buses, it is recommended to take the scenic shuttle bus for greater convenience and speed. During the scenic area's operating hours, outside vehicles are not allowed to enter. Wuyishan is truly an underrated travel destination. Traveling during the off-season after the Lunar New Year offers an unparalleled experience! If you're looking for a warm and fun place to relax and unwind, come and visit. I believe you will fall in love with it!
