You don't know the Wuyi Mountain:Wuyi Mountain

Mention of Wuyi, the world knows a Tianyoufeng, a Jiuqu Stream, however, Tianyoufeng and Jiuqu Stream, a holiday, tourists shoulder to shoulder, climbed to Wuyi, is not happy, is to queue up to see people.　But to say that Wuyi Mountain is "saturated"? That is also very wrong.

Outside the main scenic area, Wuyi scenery show does not reduce the slightest, but because of the "bred in the boudoir" and more points of the true meaning of the quiet waters of the Ningshan.

Da'an source of winding paths through the orchid canyon, high waterfalls and deep pools, Wuyi source of the fragrance of tea in the forest town,

WuFuZhen outside Zhu Xi's ancestral house rain is wetting the white walls, the village of XiaMei old mansion patio, yellow hair tufts of hair happy ......

DaWuYi, bypassing the main scenic area, but also everywhere is the scenery.

The source of Da'an: the fragrance of orchids in deep valleys

The name "Da'an" reflects the local people's desire for peace and quiet. Now it is a place of beautiful scenery and birdsong, and historically it has been a major transportation hub in and out of Fujian Province. Daan Village, where Daan Source is located, was historically the first pass guarding the border between Fujian and Jiangxi, also known as "Da Guan". It was the most famous of the more than ten passes in the Wuyi Mountain area of northern Fujian. From the end of the Ming and early Qing dynasties to the warlords and then to the liberation war in the years of fire, as a place of war, living in the area of the strong young people were captured to the army, leaving a family of old and weak women and children living in misery. Therefore, the local people named the village Daan Village and the canyon Daan Yuan. The character for "peace" in the name encompasses the idea that "a small peace is a family's peace, and a country's peace is a great peace.

Da-An-Yuan is a deep canyon in the shape of a "V", with a trail built along the mountain running through the entire canyon. The sign on the tree at the entrance reads, "Walking is not viewing, viewing is not walking," a cautionary tale that suggests that the view from here, forgetting the ruggedness of the road, is something of a "three bowls, but not a post" style.

Suddenly into the canyon of the big source, a coolness came, the temperature in the valley is lower than the outside three or four degrees, the air is moist, breathe the air over the throat cool. Due to the unique geomorphology of the canyon, the formation of a unique microclimate, usually in the canyon when the rain is drizzling, but outside the canyon is sunny. Walking along the trail, red-billed gulls and large azaleas fly out from time to time from the forest overhead, and there are many orchids growing along the mountainside. The climate of the canyon is probably suitable for the growth of delicate orchids, such as the cold orchid, the Jianlan orchid, the monarch orchid, and the vegetative orchid, and the varieties of these orchids, which are always attracting people to stop and crouch down to enjoy them from a close distance. The valley is particularly quiet, with only the sound of water gurgling at the foot of the valley, which is very much in the mood of "cicadas clamoring in the forest and birds singing in the mountains".

The scenic area has a submerged in the forest gravel road, although inconspicuous, but is the "10,000 miles of Jin tea road" of the old road. Through this road, when the Jin merchants from Shanxi southward horse gangs and caravans transported Wuyi Mountain tea out of Fujian through the way of people picking shoulder and carrying horse-drawn carts, and then through the land route, the rock tea from Fujian was transported to the northernmost border between China and Russia, and then shipped to Europe through the Eurasian Continental Bridge.

We came during the rainy season in the Wuyi Mountain region, and the roads were a bit slippery, but the waterfalls that dot the canyons were so abundant because of the rainy season that the sound of rumbling water could be heard from afar as we turned a corner. The waterfalls were also the reason why the canyon of Daanwon was discovered. The man who once led a team to explore the canyon said, "When I came here for an expedition six or seven years ago, I heard the sound of water and went down to look at it, tied with a rope and scared, but when I saw the waterfalls, I felt that it was very beautiful inside. Cool, rocky, waterfall, like a small world." In front of the "Huanggang Mountain" waterfall, the huge water rushed out of a deep pool, the pool water is greenish, the guide said the pool water is six or seven meters deep. At this time to see a solo backpacker, from the canyon of the trestle up and down to the waterfall of the deep pool, sitting on his knees at the edge of the pool bank, in front of the waterfall is like a white dragon like a thousand feet straight down, the scene like a painting.

The canyon of Danyanyuan is not long, and it takes only one hour to walk the whole course at a fast pace. In addition to touring the mountains, Daanwon also has some local game worth tasting. In the Grand Canyon near the entrance scattered some farm restaurants, providing a specialty in the canyon - stone scales, farmers explain that this is a kind of stone in the "frog", growing in the mountains of northern Fujian, cool, nourishing, and five-step snakes **** survival, like the big source of the mountains, water and stones. In addition to the high price (180 yuan per catty), you have to book in advance with the farmers to eat.

Special Recommendations

The best place to play in the water? Daanwon has a strong current and is not suitable for water play. Of course, if you want to play in the water, there is also a good place to go, from the gate of Daanwon continue along the rural highway up ten minutes, there is a flat water called "Taiyang". It is a man-made weir lake specially prepared for tourists who come to Daanwon to play in the water. People who like to play in the water are concentrated here. The water is clear and there are lifeguards patrolling the shore. There are farmhouse and barbecue garden on the shore. Consumption here, play in the water 30 yuan per person, and there are valley cabins for rent.

Wuyishan cuisine Purple potato cake: not too sweet, not too greasy, made from locally produced purple potatoes, the flavor is similar to pumpkin cake, very tasty. Fried okra: a common dish on the table of southern Fujian people, okra first hit the market at 11 yuan a catty, in September a catty down to three or four yuan.

Farmers near the gate of the Grand Canyon at Huanggang Mountain offer home-grown green ingredients, with local specialties such as native stewed eggs (with shiitake mushrooms inside) and wild greens (wild sesame seeds).

Average spending, if you don't eat expensive things like stone scales and have some native chicken and duck, is about 35 yuan per person.

Eating within the scenic area of Wuyishan or in the city is not cheap, and some establishments are even higher than Xiamen. Because of the humidity in the mountains, local dishes are more salty and spicy.

Wuyi source: forest town

Wuyi source is located in the upper reaches of Jiuqu Creek, the main scenic area of Wuyi Mountain, 20 kilometers away from Wuyi Mountain Airport, a Lotus Creek that starts from the Lotus Valley of Lion Peak in the west, and extends to the Northeast source of the Creek Valley and Yangmei Spring in the east, passes through the whole valley. Wuyi source in a small town - the former four new forest plant factory, now called "forest family", the premises in, is really the biggest surprise after I went to Wuyi source.

The town is located in the center of the scenic area, but like a paradise like peace and quiet. Unlike the traditional ancient towns in our impression, this town has well-preserved buildings of the Cultural Revolution. The first thing you see when you enter the town is not a temple but a statue of Chairman Mao waving his hand forward, and behind the statue is a Soviet-style auditorium. It's a view you'll never see in the usual countryside, and gives the place a revolutionary flavor.

The hall still preserves the layout of the Cultural Revolution, with wooden folding chairs that could only be seen in the 1950s and 1960s, posters of model operas on the walls, and all the furnishings and slogans in the auditorium still conveying the atmosphere of the revolutionary era, which is still a bit mottled but with a more translucent flavor after weathering. Nowadays, this auditorium can still play the old film movies, the janitor told us when he opened the door of the auditorium for us, the projector in the upstairs projection room can still run, some of the film prints of the year are still there, if you are coincidental, you can watch a 16mm old film in this old theater that can accommodate a thousand people, and revisit the town's heyday of the recreation life in the old days.

Standing on the town's main street, the statue of Chairman Mao stares out over the valley in front of you, and standing underneath it is like stepping back in time. The 100-meter-long street is covered with moss, and the once-glorious imprints on both sides of the street are y burned into the mottled walls of the small Russian-style buildings. The town is clean and tidy, and there is not a single passerby in the town. At this time, it is midday, and except for the sound of birds chirping in the woods, this place seems to be still asleep. After the reform and opening up, Wuyi Mountain area began to close the mountain forest, this hidden in the Wuyi Mountain forest town gradually decline. After the young people in the town lost their livelihood of cutting down trees, they left their hometowns and flocked to the big cities in search of opportunities. Nowadays, only a dozen or so old people from the forest protection squadron live here, and we met an 84-year-old couple, Mr. and Mrs. Ye, who came from Longquan, Zhejiang Province, to Wuyi Mountain in 1958, and have worked in the Sixin Forest Farm for more than 40 years. The old people were excited about the visit of outsiders. There is always a hint of shyness and simplicity in their smiles when they face strangers.

The town is small but has all the essentials, and the infrastructure is still the same as it was in the olden days: the Sixin Barber Shop, the Sixin Guest House, the Sixin Supply and Marketing Association, the Sixin Commissary, and the Sixin Canteen....... Many of the facilities were not yet open for business when we arrived, and only the doors and windows of the Sixin Canteen were open. The big canteen serves some home-cooked food with a rustic flavor, local chickens raised by farmers in the forest, wild mushrooms picked on the hillside next to the town, and a kind of plum wine brewed by the local residents themselves. The Sixin Guest House has been transformed into a gorgeous clubhouse, and a vacant lot next to the guest house has been turned into an open-air café with a good view....... The "Forest House" will not be ready to meet visitors until next year, and the developers want to turn this out-of-this-world town into a wild and luxurious hotel! The developers want to turn the town into a luxury hotel, villas and an offshore island that disappears into the jungle.

Most of the time, we are in the wall climbing branches in the alley, curious to look around, and occasionally found a fishpond, a quiet hut let us excited. Drinking a cup of Da Hong Pao, which is made in the forest, at the open-air café, we really wanted to live here and couldn't bear to leave.

A closer look, a bundle of "scripture" is indeed labeled with a name, similar to the "relief of suffering" and other wishes, that is, some of the wishes to be burned to be able to make a wish.

If Dangxi is the blood of Xiamei, then the various buildings on both sides of Dangxi are the bones of Xiamei. Some of the buildings have fallen into disrepair after weathering, and the Qixiao Zushi Bridge was tarmacked by the highway across Dangxi when it was built in 1958. But now the surviving ancestral homes, a large part of the preservation is still relatively intact, such as the Zou's ancestral home, Fang's military first, hermit residence and many of the "Da Dai Di", which is Zou's "Da Dai Di" for the most, the building is grand, beautifully carved, preserved intact, can still be seen in the old mansion.
