Tour Highlights

Drift down the Nine-Bend Stream

Your wuyishan tour opens with nine bend stream bamboo rafting beneath Dading and Snake islands, listening for the cliff-hermit tombs set high above.

Climb up to the Tianyou Peak

A stepped path leads to the Tianyou Peak viewpoint, the classic over-the-valley frame of the whole mount wuyi day tour.

Stop at the old Wuyi Palace

You pause at Wuyi Palace to trace Song-dynasty academy history and the imperial tea tribute that once shaped the entire region here.

Taste Wuyi rock tea in a workshop

The wuyi tea culture tour ends in a village workshop, tasting Da Hong Pao and smoked Lapsang over a slow, unhurried gongfu brew.

Reached from Xiamen by early high-speed train, this wuyishan tour spends one full day on the essentials of a mount wuyi day tour. You glide through nine bend stream bamboo rafting past cliff paintings, climb the steps to the Tianyou Peak panorama over the valley, then slow down on a wuyi tea culture tour at Wuyi Palace and a rock-tea workshop. It is a compact wuyishan tour that pairs water, peak and tea in a single day.
