I have seen many famous mountains from south to north. The Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area is one of the most beautiful, majestic, connotative and profound places I have ever seen. It has both the beauty of southern mountains and rivers and profound cultural landscapes. The Jiuqu River meanders through it, with abundant water and clear water quality, making the originally clean scenic spot more moist and refreshing. The unique geological soil structure creates Wuyi Mountain rock tea - Dahongpao. Tea gardens all over the mountain and the fragrance of tea fascinate tourists.

Cliff carvings

I visited Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area for two days. On the first day I saw Water Curtain Cave and Dahongpao. There are environmentally friendly vehicles passing through various scenic spots when entering the scenic area. There are not many tourists along the way, and most of them are travel agencies passing by. The three of us walked and swam. Although it was summer, we felt refreshed under the shade of the trees and the water curtain There is not much water in the cave. When it pours down from high places, there are only floating raindrops. We "cool off the heat and soak in the rain" below. There are several temples carved in the rock behind Shuilian Cave. Climbing up the steps, there are ancient stone tablets on both sides.

After leaving Shuiliandong, we took a bus back to the Dahongpao Scenic Area. When we entered the scenic spot, we could smell the aroma of tea. It turned out that it was full of tea gardens. The roots of the tea trees were covered with dried tea stems. It was the tea aroma emitted by these tea stems, which should be a good fertilizer. Well, I walked about a kilometer along the way and saw the 350-year-old mother tree - Dahongpao. It is growing vigorously in the middle of the mountain. There are only three or six trees. After the last harvest in 2007, it has been strictly protected and has become a world heritage. a part of.

Dahongpao Scenic Area

The scenic spot is just a destination, the real tour is on the road. Next, we went to Wuyi Palace, walked around Song Street, had something to eat, and bought tea to mail back to Zheng. All the shops are exquisite and interesting, but the things are relatively expensive. The dumplings are 30 yuan a piece, eleven in total. Just cover the bottom of the bowl and eat them for fun! Next, we passed Dawang Peak and Yunv Peak. Instead of climbing up, we watched from a distance at the bottom of the mountain. The photos from all angles reflected in the sunset were more moving. Climbing up to the not too high Huxiao Rock gave us a panoramic view of the small mountains. The open area further enhanced the charm of Wuyi Mountain. It is handsome and beautiful, with Danxia landforms, fresh air, light clouds and gentle breeze.

Xingcun Town Bed and Breakfast

At around seven o'clock, take the last tourist bus to leave the scenic spot and go to Xingcun Town. It is a wiser choice to stay overnight in Xingcun Town. It is not far from the scenic spot and the B&B is not expensive. The next day, you can directly take the No. 9 bus and change to the tourist bus when you go to the scenic spot. very convenient.

Wuyi Jingshe

It started to rain the next day, the air became cooler, and the scenic spot became fresher. First we visited Wuyi Jingshe, also known as Ziyang Academy, where Zhu Xi gave lectures in his early years and was built in the Song Dynasty. There are sculptures by Zhu Xi, the interior displays are simple and charming, and the architecture has a unique style amid the mountains and rain.

Thousands of swords standing on the wall

Today we focused on climbing Tianyou Peak. We followed the crowds of people up the mountain in the rain. We no longer had the heat of yesterday. Even if we occasionally got wet, we felt comfortable and comfortable. We saw many inscriptions in the middle, and there was a huge carving of "Wall Standing Ten Thousand Ren" carved on a huge rock. Spectacular. There are many poems and articles engraved by famous people from past dynasties around. Looking at these stone carvings, time travels forward in a trance, as if seeing ancient sages reciting poems and inscriptions here. Nature has created Wuyi Mountain, giving it its "flowery appearance"; history has created Wuyi Mountain, giving it its "temperament and connotation".

Bamboo rafting

Jiuqu River

Climbing Tianyou Peak

Climbing to the top in the rain

Tianyou Peak is the center of the scenic spot and the best place to view Jiuqu River. The peak is not more than 400 meters above sea level. The process of climbing to the top is very beautiful. You circle up and look around for a while. The Jiuqu River gradually reveals its beauty. The green stream is like jade liquid and nectar slowly surrounding it. If you look closely, you can see bamboo rafts floating in it. Since it fell on a weekend, the boat tickets needed to be booked two days in advance. We were unable to buy the tickets, so we had to wait until next time to make up for the regret.

Treasure hunt by the stream

Boat coffin in the gully

After reaching the top, we stayed for a while, ate some fruit, and then went straight down the mountain. Feeling refreshed all the way, we seemed to have been nourished by the essence of Wuyi. In order to make up for the regret of not being able to raft, we followed the instructions of passers-by and took a non-tourist route. A wooden stick was used to prevent snakes from entering and exiting. The stone steps were covered with moss and looked like no one had walked on them for a long time. After bypassing a hill and quickly descending to the stream, the view suddenly opened up. The wide stream was paved with pebbles, and the shore was clean and tidy. There were deep nests on the rocky cliff opposite. My husband exclaimed that this was a gully boat coffin. ! It is the unsolved mystery of Wuyi Mountain - the thousand-year-old hanging coffin. This is really an unexpected gain of this trip. After staying here for half an hour, we returned to the Jiuqu River. Opposite were the stone carvings of "Jiuqu River" and "Cultivation Based on Self-cultivation". After a while, the bamboo raft rafting team passed by in waves. We stayed and played in the shallow stream. Xiaonuan collected some pebbles as a souvenir, and then we drove away. The car drove through the fields, and the scenery of Wuyi Mountain was still lingering in our minds...

Picking up "treasures" in Jiuqu River

After leaving the Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area, we stopped at the gate to take the long-distance bus to Jianyang to the Chengcun Hancheng Ruins. The passing car dropped us off at the country road intersection, and we could only rely on our feet for the nearly two kilometers to the city. As soon as I got off the bus, I was fascinated by the charming pastoral scenery here. It was peaceful and quiet away from the hustle and bustle. Walking slowly south, the beauty becomes more and more beautiful as you go. There are rice fields beside the road, wild flowers stand quietly on the roadside, and tea gardens in the distance are neat and quiet. It is cloudy after the rain, the clouds change endlessly, and the cool breeze blows, and the wind can't help but feel under your feet. Walking towards Exploring the city and village!

Around the city

Around the city

According to the information, after Liu Bang ascended the throne, he established Wu Zhu, a foreign surname from the ethnic minority, as the vassal king of the Minyue Kingdom to manage the land of Wuyue. The ancient city of Hancheng was the ancient capital built by Wu Zhu. Later, Wu Zhu's descendant, King Dongyue, rebelled against the Han Dynasty and was annihilated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Han City was destroyed. The ruins of Seoul were discovered in 1958 and were listed as part of the Wuyi Mountain World Heritage Site and a key national cultural relic protection unit. Many historical research materials on the history of the Minyue Kingdom come from archaeological excavations here, which is also reflected in the introduction of many cultural relics and historic sites that we will look at later.

Museum gate

In front of the ruins of Seoul

Soon we passed a Seoul museum, which was not open yet because it was under construction, so we had to go directly to the Seoul ruins. This is a scenic spot that is being excavated. There are no tickets. There are large lotus flowers around the scenic spot. The surrounding scenery is very beautiful from the mounds of the ruins. The silence is beautiful. Like many ruins, you can see the foundation, colonnades, palace patios and drainage ditches from the glass roof. It is said that the entire ruins covers an area of ​​20,000 square meters and consists of three parts: the vestibule, the middle palace and the backyard. A large number of pottery was unearthed. , iron cavalry and bronze wares, it is an ancient city in Fujian that is relatively well preserved, and its historical research value is very high!

Take a tricycle

It was already evening when he left Chengcun. In order to catch the high-speed train at Wuyi Shandong Station, he had to leave as soon as possible. The last inter-rural shuttle bus had already left. Try to stop by the roadside. An agricultural tricycle stopped. He was going to Xingxing. The business in Tianzhen happened to be delivered to the town. There were more passing cars there, and they could take us to the high-speed rail station. Thank you to the fellow villagers in the city! When we arrive at the destination, we have to leave some money to express our gratitude. The fellow villagers don’t want anything, just say “No, we don’t rely on this.” Simple fellows in urban and rural areas, your ride has brought so much convenience to us who are tired from the journey. And joy, thank you!
