Mount Huanggang

Mount Huanggang is the highest peak in the Wuyi Mountain range, sitting on the border between Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. The summit rises to about 2,160 meters and dominates the landscape with steep rocky faces and densely forested slopes that cover most of its terrain.

The mountain has served as a natural border between the two provinces since ancient times and was recognized as an important geographical landmark by travelers and scholars. Its role as a boundary point has shaped the region and remains significant in local identity today.

Mount Huanggang features summit stones decorated with traditional Chinese calligraphy that express the mountain's connection to regional heritage.

Access requires special permits obtained through the Wuyishan Protected Nature Reserve in Jiangxi, with entry points from Wuyishan and Shangrao cities. The best time to visit is outside the rainy season, and visitors should prepare for uneven trails and damp conditions on the mountain.

The summit holds abandoned dormitory buildings that recall when the site was used for scientific research and observation activities. These structures give hikers an intriguing sense of past human occupation at this remote elevation.
