Wuyi Mountain, Fujian, hiking along the most beautiful tea trail, enjoying the Danxia landform

My weekend mountain plans this year have basically covered more than 20 hiking routes around Hangzhou. This weekend, I started hiking out of the province. The first stop out of the province: Nanping, Fujian. 【About the Route】 1️⃣ Transportation: 🚄 2.5 hours from Hangzhou to 【Highlights】 1️⃣ Danxia Landform: Wuyi Mountain belongs to the Danxia landform. Along the way, you can see many oddly shaped red giant rocks rising from the ground, very spectacular 🤎 2️⃣ Colorful Forests: It’s autumn, with high skies and light clouds, the forests are dyed in layers of red, yellow, green, and more, clearly defined 🍂 3️⃣ Rock Bones and Tea Fragrance: China’s most beautiful tea trail, from Da Hong Pao to Liuxiangjian to Water Curtain Cave, a total of 4.5 km with stone steps, filled with the aroma of tea, refreshing and soothing 🪵 4️⃣ Thousand-Year-Old Ancient Temple: Huiyuan Zen Temple, built in the Song Dynasty, is said to be a thousand-year-old temple integrating the three teachings. If you’re not in a hurry, you can have some rock tea here and enjoy the peaceful moment brought by the harmony of nature and the ancient temple ☕️ 【Gear】 1️⃣ Carry System: Day hiking backpack + trekking poles + knee pads 2️⃣ Clothing System: Quick-dry long sleeves + quick-dry pants + quick-dry headscarf + sunglasses + gloves 3️⃣ Food System: Bring your own meals, coffee + snacks + fruit + energy gels + water 4️⃣ Medicine System: Motion sickness medicine + ibuprofen + stomach medicine + band-aids + mosquito repellent, just in case 5️⃣ Electronics System: Sports camera + sports watch + power bank + headlamp, headlamp is essential for walking at night 【Accommodation and Food Recommendations】 1️⃣ Accommodation: It’s recommended to stay near the “Sangu Resort Area,” which is more commercialized with many good restaurants, tea houses, and coffee shops, and close to the hiking start and end points 2️⃣ Food: You can try Minnan farmhouse dishes, and various noodle dishes are also delicious 【Notes】 1️⃣ Although Wuyi Mountain’s elevation is not high, the route involves a lot of ups and downs, so be sure to calculate the total hiking time carefully and try not to hike at night. We started climbing at 1 pm and ended up hiking down at night 🤣 2️⃣ There are several wild trail sections along the route. It’s fine if it’s not raining, but if it rains, be sure to wear anti-slip hiking shoes 3️⃣ Bring plenty of water, about 2-3 bottles per person, as there are no supply points on the mountain~
