First time in Wuyi Mountain, play in order and never look back, with food, accommodation, and lightning avoidance guides, recommended collection! 10 must-do experiences 🌟 Jiuqu River bamboo rafting 🚣♀ Take a raft downstream to enjoy the Danxia peaks and listen to the legends of the raftsmen. ⚠Tips: Make an appointment on the "China Wuyi Mountain" public account 1-3 days in advance, choose 7-9 o'clock when it is coolest; give the raftsmen a 20 yuan tip to hear more interesting stories and help take pictures📸. Watch the sea of clouds and sunrise at Tianyou Peak 🌅 The most dangerous peak in Wuyi Mountain, 848 steps to the top to overlook the panoramic view of Jiuqu River, and the sea of clouds often appears after the rain☁. ⚠Tips: Set off before 5 o'clock in the peak season, bring a flashlight; you can rest at the "Lanzhou Platform" halfway up the mountain, and those who are not physically fit can turn back here to enjoy the view. Drink authentic Dahongpao 🍵 As the birthplace of oolong tea, the teahouse next to the mother tree Dahongpao is the most authentic. ⚠Tips: There are only 6 mother trees (protected and not picked), it is recommended to try "Cinnamon" and "Daffodil", the aroma is richer✨.

Baiyun Zen Temple Waiting for Sunrise 🌄 The thousand-year-old ancient temple on the cliff, the sea of clouds rolls like a heavenly palace at sunrise. ⚠Tips: It takes 1.5 hours to hike up the mountain. It is recommended to stay in the temple the night before (contact in advance); wear non-slip shoes and bring hiking poles🖼. Check in at the narrowest point in the country 🌿 The narrowest point in the country is only 30cm, and you need to pass sideways. The cave is cool and summer-proof. ⚠Tips: It is divided into "Left Thin Sky" (narrower and more exciting) and "Right Thin Sky" (wider); the cave is humid and there are many bats, so wear long sleeves to prevent scratches🦇.
