A highly underrated but absolutely stunning place recommendation

Hey guys! I’ve discovered a hidden gem that’s absolutely breathtaking—Wuyi Mountain in the spring rain! Mist-shrouded peaks, misty green forests, strange peaks and rocks paired with winding streams, no wonder Li Shangyin praised it as “thousands of peaks rising like jade cliffs.” It’s also a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage site, recommended by National Geographic~ This 2-day itinerary will take you on an immersive experience!

🚗 Transportation Guide

- High-speed rail: Wuyishan North Station / Nanping Station;
- Airplane: Wuyishan Airport;
- Once there, taking a taxi or the scenic area shuttle bus is very convenient~

🗓️ 2-Day Itinerary (Relaxed tour of the highlights)

- Day 1: From high-speed rail station/airport → Sangu Resort Area, stroll through Sangu Old Street (try local snacks, soak in the lively atmosphere);
- Day 2: Sangu → Baiyun Zen Temple → Nine-Bend Stream bamboo raft drifting → return trip~

🌟 Must-visit Attractions (each one is legendary)

1. Baiyun Zen Temple

- The ancient moss-covered path stretches endlessly, every photo looks like a “scene from a historical film”;
- It’s also a perfect spot to watch the sunrise over the sea of clouds! Early morning mist flows up from the valley, the temple appears faintly in the clouds, like a fairyland descending to earth~

2. Nine-Bend Stream Bamboo Rafting

- The bamboo raft experience here is just as good as in Guilin! Mountains embrace the water as it twists and turns, the scene perfectly captures Li Bai’s poetic imagery of “a light boat passing through thousands of mountains”;
- The raftman shares stories and legends along the way, drifting while listening to tales, super immersive~

3. Tianyou Peak

- True to its name! When the sea of clouds arrives, standing on the peak feels like “roaming in the sky,” with mountains, clouds, and streams all in view, so spectacular it leaves you speechless~

💡 Tips

- Visiting on a spring rainy day enhances the “fairyland feeling,” but remember to bring a raincoat/umbrella;
- It’s recommended to book bamboo rafting in advance, choose early morning or evening for the best light and shadow effects;
- Wear light-colored or traditional-style clothes for photos to perfectly match the landscape~

The beauty of Wuyi Mountain lies in the Zen spirit within the mist and the poetry on the bamboo rafts—you’ll never forget it after one visit~
