The 60-square-kilometer Wuyi Mountain is
about 15 kilometers south of Wuyishan City in Fujian Province. It
is a famous scenic area surrounded by valleys and isolated from
other mountains. Places of interest include the Nine-Turning Stream
and 36 peaks and 99 rocks. Nine-Turning Stream starts from the Sanbao
Mountain and flows through Xingcun Village before entering the Wuyi
Mountain area and it is a wonderful experience to float down the
stream from the village on a bamboo raft. Wannian Palace in Chongyou,
Chaiyang Academy and Hongqiao Bridge are historical sites and other
places of scenic interest are Dawang Peak, Yunu Peak, Jiesheng Peak,
Lesser Peach Garden and Skyline. There are also many rare plants
and animals as well as the Wuyi Mountain Museum of Nature. In 1988
it was listed as one of the world's biosphere protection areas.
