Wuyi Mountain,lying in north-western Fujian Province, covers an area of 60 square kilometers. Cut off from the outer mountains, it's a famous scenic area surrounded by streams and valleys.With a circumference of 60 kilometers in Chongan County,it is reputed to be the best scenic spot in South China. Sites of interest are concentrated in the Jiuqu Stream region. There are many rare plants and animals such as nini-monkey,and hummingbird.

Wuyi's 36 graceful peaks, most under 600 metres high, are skirted by a zigzagging river called Nine Bend Creek(Jiuqu Stream). This naturally endowed landscape of water and hills has given the area the reputation of being the most scenic wonder in Southeast China. Since ancient times, Wuyi Mountain has attracted an endless flow of scholars, Taoist masters, Buddhist monks and travellers.

Jiuqu Stream (Nine Turns Stream): It runs nine kilometers and has 9 twists in its course. The clean water moving past rocks and cliffs combines with the exotic peaks crowned by green groves presenting a real-life traditional Chinese painting.

Now and again its torrents churn over shoals, throwing sheets of spray into the air, and then merge into clear deep pools which are as smooth as a mirror. At its two banks, myriad peaks soar up, vying with one another for beauty and wild azalea flowers glow crimson. One taking a bamboo raft downstream would be mesmerized as if cruising in the mysterious universe.

Tianyou Peak (Peak of Sky Tour): Frequently shrouded in clouds and mist, it towers aloft over clusters of peaks. Ascending to its top, one feels as if traveling upon a sea of clouds high up the sky. Hence it becomes the most famous spot of Wuyishan. The pavilion on the top, the highest among myriad peaks commands a panoramic view of Wuyishan encircled by well-known peaks and the Jiuqu Stream on its three sides.

Water Screen Cave: It's formed by curved cliff walls and an over-hanging cliff, each measuring several hundred feet in height or in width. It's spacious and can seat some thousand people. Built along the walls are a few roofless temples. Two springs keep cascading down day and night from the over-hanging cliff. Blown by the breeze, the waterfalls break into tiny drops, which resemble two water screens hanging from the top, and descend into the Dragon Bath Pond below.

Chongyou Wanniangong (Palace of Ten Thousand Years): As one of famous Taoist religious service centers, it consisted of over three hundred halls and rooms in the Song and Ming Dynasties, but declined since mid Qing Dynasty. Today only one temple and two wells have remained.

The beautiful Wuyishan is gifted with exotic flowers and rare plants, precious birds and animals. It abounds in teas growing on rocks with a bright color, strong scent, and pure taste. Among them Dahongpao "Grand Red Robe" is the most famous and precious.

Included in the UNESCO world cultural and natural heritage list in 1999.
