Wuyi Mountain: A fairyland watched by 340 million people, every frame breathtakingly beautiful!

— Bamboo rafts drifting through ink wash paintings, rock tea fragrance filling Danxia Peaks, this trip healed my mental exhaustion! 🔥 Top Experience: Bamboo Rafting on Nine-Bend Creek, Entering a Martial Arts Movie Scene “People traveling inside a painting” confirmed! Riding a bamboo raft down Nine-Bend Creek, the water is as clear as jade, reflecting the strange peaks on both sides. The boatman gently taps the bamboo pole, the sound hitting the creek stones like an ancient zither (netizens exclaimed: “It’s like stepping into a Jin Yong novel!”). Immortal’s perspective check-in at Jade Maiden Peak: Standing gracefully by the Second Bend Creek, Jade Maiden Peak faces King Peak across the creek, with Tiebanzhang Ridge stretching between them—listen to the boatman’s story of “the immortal and mortal tragic love,” heartbreaking yet extremely romantic. Walking tip: Choose the 7:30 AM early bamboo raft! Morning mist lingers, fewer people, cool weather, and the light and shadow are so beautiful it looks filtered (shooting Jade Maiden Peak’s silhouette against the backlight in the afternoon is also stunning). ⛰ Legendary Peaks: Climb Tianyou Peak, Overlooking the “Spine of Wuyi” from the Clouds 848 steps to gain a god’s-eye view! At the summit, Nine-Bend Creek twists like a green ribbon winding through the Danxia peaks. After rain, the sea of clouds rolls like ink splashes. Netizens rave: “Every casual shot easily gets over 10,000 likes on TikTok!”. Certified by Xu Xiake as “Wuyi’s number one scenic spot”: “Though not facing the creek, it encompasses the beauty of all nine bends”—the Ming dynasty traveler did not deceive us. Avoidance guide: Rush before 7 AM! Beat the crowds and heat, bring non-slip shoes and 2 bottles of water (few supplies on the way). 🍵 Soul Strike: Rock Bone and Floral Fragrance Trail, Sip the Spirit of a Thousand-Year Tea Three shocks before the mother tree of Da Hong Pao: Six ancient tea trees on the cliff of Jiulongke, drink the “Tea King” named by the emperor (legend says it cures top scholars’ illnesses!), nourished by spring water in rock crevices, thriving for a thousand years, with an annual yield of only a few taels. Immersive tea ceremony healing: Hike 2 kilometers on a gentle trail from the Da Hong Pao mother tree to Water Curtain Cave, tea fields lush green, stream water tinkling; afternoon tea brewing around the stove, mountain breeze mixed with tea fragrance filling the lungs—netizens say: “This is drinking the scenery!” 🌿 Hidden Gems: Fairy Tale-Level Secret Realms One Line Sky “slimming challenge”: Squeeze sideways through a 0.3-meter rock crevice, looking up to see “a line of sky,” bats flapping adding mystery (remember to bring a flashlight!). Peach Blossom Cave’s secluded vibe maxed out: Deep along a wild path, suddenly encountering flowing creek, fallen flowers, and abandoned cottages, as if stepping into the set of “The Peach Blossom Spring.” White Cloud Temple chasing sunset: Red clouds flooding the sky, sea of clouds swallowing peaks, a pure place without commercial traces, photo beauty that takes your breath away. 🎭 Night Tour Highlight: Zhang Yimou’s Landscape Theater Goes Wild! “Impression Da Hong Pao” live scene explodes: 360° rotating stands, tea farmers stepping on waves, fairies riding mist, the whole mountain is a stage! Netizens: “After watching, I want to kneel and thank Master Zhang!” Zhu Xi Garden night talk on Neo-Confucianism: Stroll under moonlight in a Song dynasty academy, touching the millennium cultural lineage of “Confucius from the Eastern Zhou, Zhu Xi from the Southern Song.” 📣 The “Really Worth It” Guide Certified by the Whole Internet 1. Stay in a tea field starry sky room: Highly recommend Sangu Resort’s Blue Comfort Garden! Scenic terrace facing the sea of clouds, sleeping with stars and the Milky Way at night. 2. Taste explosion: Zhuzi Filial Mother Cake sweet and glutinous + Langu Smoked Goose spicy aroma (with pickled radish!), lock in “A Lian Brother’s Old Shop.” 3. Best itinerary: Day 1: Tianyou Peak + Rock Bone and Floral Fragrance Trail (stay at a tea mountain guesthouse) Day 2: Early bamboo raft on Nine-Bend Creek + “Impression Da Hong Pao” night show Day 3: Tiger Roaring Rock + One Line Sky + Sangu Old Street food crawl. 💌 Wuyi Mountain Aftereffects: Going home and flipping through photos never feels beautiful enough, Dreaming only of bamboo raft water sounds and rising tea smoke… Netizens’ heartfelt warning: “Don’t go! Or you’ll suffer from ‘repeatedly wanting to return to Wuyi Mountain’ syndrome!” “The beauty here is the cool breeze of Nine-Bend Creek mixed with tea fragrance, the smoky flavor of old street smoked goose, and the laziness of lying on the terrace counting stars— Wuyi Mountain healed the mental exhaustion of city dwellers.” 🌿
