Wuyishan National Park, National park in Fujian Province, China
Wuyishan National Park covers mountainous terrain with steep cliffs, deep valleys, and varied ecosystems ranging from subtropical forests to wetland areas. A network of maintained trails connects natural rock formations and the winding river that flows through the landscape.
The region became important during the Song dynasty as a major tea production center and developed connections to Confucian and Taoist traditions that shaped the landscape.
Several ancient academies within the park served as learning centers for classical scholarship, and you can still see how local people grow tea using methods passed down through their families.
You can enter the park through several different gates, with trails ranging from easy walks to more challenging hikes. Wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for weather changes, as the terrain is hilly and conditions can shift quickly.
The park's highest peak hosts thousands of plant and animal species concentrated across its different elevation zones. This remarkable biodiversity in a compact area makes it a globally important habitat for rare and endemic species.
