Quxi Scenic Area
Among the beautiful mountains and rivers in central Fujian, Wuyi Mountain ranks first, and the soul of Wuyi lies in Jiuqu River. This stream originates from the southwest foothills of Huanggang Mountain, the main peak of the Wuyi Mountains. It is crystal clear and flows through the Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area from west to east through Xingcun Town. It is full of water and folds into nine curves, hence its name.
Jiuqu River is about 9.5 kilometers long and covers an area of ??8.5 square kilometers. The mountains are carried by the water, and the water flows around the mountains. Each song has a different landscape painting meaning. "The stream is flowing with cloud liquid in nine bends, and the mountain light is soaking in clear ripples." This vividly outlines the beautiful contours of the Jiuqu River.
The sequence of Jiuqu River is counted against the current. In front of Wuyi Palace, the Jingchuan area forms a song. The main scenic spots are: Dawang Peak, Manting Peak, Tiebanzhang, Shuiguangshi, etc.; turn right and go north from Yuxiangtan, which is Erqu. The main scenic spots are: Yunv Peak, Xianbang Rock, Xianguan Rock, etc.; after passing through Lei Ke Beach, the stream turns south and forms a one-man bay ring, which is called Sanqu. The main scenic spots include: Xiaozang Peak, Xianyou Rock, Shengri Peak, etc. There are four bends from Wolongtan to Guzuitan in the north. The main scenic spots include: Dazang Peak, Xiandiaotai, Royal Tea Garden, Xiaojiuqu, etc.; from Tishiyan and Xiaojiuqu to the north to Pinglin Ferry, it is called Wuqu. Among all the songs, only five of them have wide terrain. The main scenic spots include: Yunwo, Wuyi Jingshe, Tea Cave, Yinping Peak, etc.; from here, it leads north to Laoyatan. Of all the songs, this one has the shortest length.

Since the opening of the Chongtong Highway, tourists have been able to go down the river from Jiuqu to Yiqu. This way, they can go with the current more briskly and quickly. To tour Jiuqu, the boat is made of 8-9 peeled and roasted bamboos. The water is shallow and the buoyancy is high. The ride is stable and comfortable, and the field of vision is wide. You can see the mountain scenery and enjoy the color of the water. Drifting down, fast and slow, is both relaxing and comfortable, and has no dangers. It is a very exciting tour in modern tourism. project.
Dawang Peak and Wuyi Palace Scenic Area
Dawang Peak is also known as Shamaoyan and Tianzhu Peak. It is named because the mountain shape is like an eunuch's gauze hat and has the unique majesty of a king. It dominates the north of the mouth of Jiuqu River and is the first peak into Jiuqu River. Dawang Peak is 530 meters above sea level. It is so majestic that it looks like a giant pillar holding up the sky from a distance. Among the thirty-six peaks in Wuyi, it has always been known as the "King of Immortals".
Dawang Peak is surrounded by cliffs and there is only a narrow tunnel on the south wall that can be used to climb to the top. This is a chasm that goes straight up and down, only about a foot wide, with stone steps cut in the middle that can be climbed up in a spiral. The higher the chasm, the narrower it becomes. In some places, climbers need to turn sideways and use their hands and feet to cross. Xu Xiake of the Ming Dynasty called it one of the three most dangerous paths in Wuyi. There is Zhang Xianyan on the waist of the peak, which is said to be the place where Zhang Gai was enthroned in the Han Dynasty. There is Tianjian Pond, the water in which is extremely clear and refreshing, even if there is a drought, it will never be exhausted. The spring flowing above the pool is called "Hanbi Spring". On the side of the pool is the place where Lin Weneng, a Taoist priest of the Song Dynasty, married. Climbing up another ladder from here is the former site of Shengzhen Temple. Climbing up the steps from the left side of the view is the Tongtian Terrace. After climbing a few dozen more steps, we reached the top of Dawang Peak.
On the top of the mountain is the "Yunping Mountain House" built by the Pan family in the south gate of Chong'an in the Gengzi Year of the Qing Dynasty (1900 AD). Pan's Yunping Shanfang also published the representative work "The Complete Works of Pingshan" by Liu Ziyu, a scholar of Song Dynasty. Three generations of the Pan family were keen on local education. They compiled historical records on Dawang Peak and published a large number of books. It can be called a small publishing house. The top of Dawang Peak is flat and open, with towering ancient trees and leaves everywhere. There is Shengzhen Cave between the rocks on the east wall. In the cave, there is a rainbow bridge spanning the sky, and a ship coffin is placed on it. It has been immortal for thousands of years and no one can take it. There is also an unfathomable rock crevice on the top of the mountain, about one meter wide. It is dark when you look down. If you throw stones, the sound is like thunder, and it will stop after a while. According to legend, this is the place where envoys were sent repeatedly to deliver "Golden Dragon and Jade Slips" in the Song Dynasty, hence the name "Toulong Cave". Standing on the top of the peak, overlooking the clear water of Wuyi peaks and picturesque mountains and rivers, it is refreshing and refreshing.
Wuyi Palace, also known as Huixian Temple, Chongyou Temple, and Wannian Palace, is located at the southern foot of Dawang Peak, in front of the mouth of Jiuqu River. It is the place where emperors of all dynasties worshiped Wuyi Lord. One of the six most famous sights in the country.
According to "Wuyi Mountain Chronicles": Wuyi Palace was built during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty (742-755). It is the oldest palace in Wuyi Mountain and has a history of more than a thousand years. When Wuyi Palace was first built, it was not on the current site. Instead, it was built on a stretch of Zhouzhu, which was called Tianbao Palace. In the second year of Baoda in the Southern Tang Dynasty (944), Yuanzong Li Wangjing and his younger brother Li Liangzuo resigned and entered Taoism, and then the current site was moved to the present site, named "Huixian Temple". After the completion of Huixian Temple, feudal rulers who believed deeply in the Immortal family in the past dynasties spent a lot of money to repair and expand the palace many times and renamed it "Zhongyou Temple".
The Southern Song poet Xin Qiji, the poet Lu You, the Neo-Confucianists Liu Zijun and Zhu Xi were all in charge of Guochong Youguan. In the fifth year of Yuan Taiding's reign (1328), it was transformed into a palace and called the "Wannian Palace". In the fourth year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty (1439), the temple was destroyed by war. During the Tianshun and Chenghua years (1457-1487), although the government allocated funds for many renovations, they failed to restore the original appearance.
In the fourth year of Jiajing's reign (1525), Guan was burned again and suffered heavy losses the following year. It is now Wuyi Palace.
Although the ancient Wuyi Palace has been repaired in the past dynasties, it could not withstand several fires and wars, leaving only a few empty rooms. In recent years, with the support of the tourism and culture departments, the main hall of Wuyi Palace has been restored. The two osmanthus trees in the courtyard are ancient trees that were left over from the Song Dynasty and are 800 to 900 years old. The plan to fully restore Wuyi Palace will be carried out gradually. This eternally famous sight will surely regain its former majesty.

Antique Street
Under the towering Dawang Peak, Wuyi Palace is a quiet place that tourists yearn for. The newly emerging antique commercial street forms a commercial and cultural environment that is both elegant and popular, with a unified style and diverse forms, all of which are the same. This ancient street is 200 meters long, with Wuyi Palace, Yuhuang Pavilion, Pengzu Shanfang, Wuzhu Bank, Tea Temple, Xiangtu Village, Baijiahuan, Yandingxiang, Xianzi Pavilion, Bidan Restaurant, etc. architecture. It integrates tea culture, wine culture and tourism culture. Each single building is convenient for tourists to shop, and the development of tourism economy promotes the development of commercial culture. The ancient street architecture consciously uses the space of doors, windows, and columns as picture frames, and uses the beautiful scenery of Wuyi Mountain to form a natural picture for easy viewing. Flower walls, cloud walls, leaky windows, water surfaces, etc. are also used as borrowed scenes to complement each other. The tree-lined avenues made of river pebbles, coupled with the greening and beautification of the natural environment, show a rich mountain customs. Chinese and foreign tourists have praised the beautiful environment here. They said that walking along it, they are poetic, picturesque, birds singing and flowers are fragrant, and the local scenery is dazzling. The ancient street buildings in Wuyishan are treasures in garden art, shining like a bright pearl.
The architectural culture of Wuyi Mountain organically combines commercial culture with traditional culture, playing a colorful movement that will attract more Chinese and foreign tourists looking for close friends.
After visiting Jiuqu, we climbed up to Qingchuan Pavilion, an ancient street tea temple, and looked west at the Wuyi peaks, where we saw red cliffs, green walls, green pines and green bamboos; overlooking the clear stream of Jiuqu, we were delighted to see hundreds of rafts competing in the current. . Lovebirds with red beaks and long tails fly side by side on the bamboo tips. Maple leaves and red mountains are bathing in the autumn sun. The country is picturesque and has a rejuvenating atmosphere. In April of the Jiazi year, Fei Xiaotong enthusiastically wrote a poem to praise it after visiting it:
I know where the nine-bend clear stream will go, and the gods will cut through the thousands of mountains weighing thousands.
The clouds and mist in Wuyi are blurry, and the fairyland on earth is hazy.
The grass in Wuyi Palace is green, and the poem "Fang Weng" is still fresh in meaning.
The jade girl looked back at the fairy and wanted to ask, and her bright head rushed around for that love.
Manting Peak
Manting Peak is located on the north side of Dawang Peak, and its foothills are connected. It is not as high as Dawang Peak. The top of the peak is flat, and there is a huge stone shaped like an incense tripod, called the Banquet of Immortals. It is said that King Wuyi once set up a manpavilion here to entertain locals, and the name "manpavilion" came from this.
According to Song Zhumu's "Wuyi Mountain Records": On August 15th in the second year of Qin Shihuang, Wuyi Jun, Huang Taimu, Wei Wangziqian and other thirteen immortals opened a curtain on the flat and wide peak. The pavilion is decorated with hundreds of colorful houses, and a banquet is held for the villagers. More than 2,000 men and women who were summoned filed up along the Hongqiao and reached the top of the peak. The pavilion and colorful house were covered with red clouds and purple cloud mattresses, gold and jade flowers were decorated, and the fragrance was dense; drums and music were playing in unison, and singing was loud and clear; Food in this world is not available in this world. This story of hosting a banquet in the Manting Pavilion has been passed down for thousands of years and remains popular to this day.
The red cliffs of Manting Peak are steep and surrounded by green pines, like a huge green screen. Xin Qiji of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote a poem: "The wind blows the sound of sheng and cranes on the mountain, and people in front of the mountain look at the screen of green clouds. Penglai is in vain. Looking for Yaochi Road, there is no Man Pavilion in the world. "The word "Man Pavilion" is engraved on the east wall of Man Pavilion Peak, which is four feet in size and was written by Wu Sixue in the Ming Dynasty. There is a huge stone halfway up the peak. It is completely square, big at the top and small at the bottom. It can accommodate dozens of people. It is commonly known as "Chessboard Stone".
According to legend, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent envoys to Wuyi Mountain to offer sacrifices to King Wuyi with dried fish, so it is also called the Han Sacrifice Altar. It is recorded in Sima Qian's "Historical Records". ?
Changgu Rock
Changgu Rock, also known as Junfeng, is located to the north of Manting Peak. It is said that when people from outside the country gain enlightenment, they have to "change their bones" here before they can become immortals. This is where the name of the rock comes from.
There are two caves in Changgu Rock: Lingyun Cave and Yunxu Cave. Lingyun Cave is divided into upper and lower caves. The upper cave is on the south wall, and the lower cave is on the east wall. They circle up and down and communicate with each other, just like the curved sills of a high-rise building. In the stone cleft in the upper cave, there are seven springs, which are not exhausted at all times, and are called Qixing Spring. It is said that drinking the water from Qixing Spring can eliminate disasters and cure diseases. Yunxu Cave is on the north wall of the rock. The cave is several feet wide and can accommodate more than a hundred people. There are two small buildings in the cave wall, which are not covered with tiles and are protected from wind and rain. It is commonly known as the "fairy dressing building". According to legend, this is the place where the three fairies of Wuyi, Kong, Zhuang and Ye, cultivated themselves. There is a large stone cave in the south of the "Fairy Dressing Building" with 72-panel walls, about 6 stories high, and no tiles. The locals say it was a Wuyi rock tea production factory during the Jiaqing period. Wuyi tea was once prosperous in history, which is evident from this.
To the north of Changgu Rock, there are three stones standing on the top of the rock, which are what people call Sangu Stone. The three aunts refer to "Tai Su Kong Yuan Jun, Tai Weizhuang Yuan Jun, and Tai Miao Ye Yuan Jun". According to legend, during the Zhiping period of Song Dynasty (1064-1067 AD), there was a severe drought in Chong'an, which caused cracks in the fields and scorched seedlings. One day, farmer Jiang Xiaosan was irrigating his fields under Huanggu Rock when he suddenly saw three women in Taoist attire walking along the mountain path. When they saw Jiang Xiaosan and other farmers working hard in irrigating the fields, they called Jiang Xiaosan forward, taught him the small gourd and the secret, and then left. Jiang Xiaosan followed the law. In an instant, dark clouds gathered and heavy rain came, reviving the scorched seedlings. In order to thank these three immortal aunts for their guidance, the three huge stones on the top of Changing Bone Rock were named Sangu Stone.
Under Sangu Rock, there is a deep pool named Longtan. The stream of water in the pool rushed down from the cliff and fell into the pool, rolling up piles of snow-white water splashes. According to legend, there is a dragon hibernating in the pond. Whenever it rains, it rises out of the sky. Bai Yuchan of the Song Dynasty wrote in a poem: "The sky is full of breeze, and the white cranes fly up to the green pines. The iron flute is played in the sky on the cold moon mountain, and the sound of the iron flute evokes the dragon in the green pool."
Shengzhen Temple
Shengzhen Temple is located on the second level of Dawang Peak. In the past, an unknown Taoist priest built a Taoist temple there. Zhu Xi wrote a poem in the Song Dynasty:
p>Qianxun on the cliff, a vague rock perch.
The Shenghe never comes back when it goes away, and this is the world since ancient times.
In the late Southern Song Dynasty, Taoist priests You Daoyuan, Jiang Miaozheng, Jiang Miaozheng and others rebuilt it. It took 10 years from the start of construction in the summer of Xianchunsi (1269 AD) to the completion of Xianchunjimao (1279 AD).
In front of the temple is the Taiqing Hall, which enshrines the Emperor Taimu and the four female immortals among the Thirteen Wuyi Immortals: Hu Shixian, Li Shixian, Yu Daochao and Yu Daoyuan. Behind the Taiqing Hall is the Dharma Hall. There is a tower above the hall, and the portraits of the immortals are placed on the upper floor.
Guanlimen, verandas and dormitories are all available.
There is a clear spring in front of Shengzhen Temple, called Hanbi Spring. There is a stone mortar under the spring, which is seven feet wide and three feet deep. The water is very clear and does not dry up even in severe droughts. This stone mortar is called Tianjian. pool. On the stone wall behind the pool, the real person Zhang Guangwei wrote the word "Hanbi".
After the Shengzhen Temple, there are four characters on the stone wall, Yushan Ping, which were inscribed by Tianhu of the Seventeenth Cave. Yuqi Mountain is the place where the female supreme god Queen Mother of the West lives.
To the southeast of the view, there are winding stone steps, not too high landowners, and the ground is flat. This place is called Tongtiantai. The platform is surrounded by pines and cypresses, shaded by greenery. Looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, the Jiuqu River and Chongyang River are like ribbons, and the peaks of Jade Girl and Jingtai are right at your feet. In the Song Dynasty, Taoist Wu Huaiyu once set up an altar for ritual battles here, so it was also called the ritual battle altar.
Wu Huaiyu was born in Xinfeng, Chongan. Even though he is very old, he does not show signs of aging. He walked and sat with his eyes closed. When someone asked him why he kept his eyes closed, he said: "There is nothing to see in the world." Therefore, he was called a blind man. He lived to the age of 96 and died without any disease. He was honored as an ancestor Taoist priest by Bai Yuchan.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Fujian Fangbo Zhao Weiyuan built a small pavilion called Xiaoyu on Tongtian Terrace.
The Shengzhen Temple has been ruined for a long time, and the Tianjian Pool now exists.
Zhu Xi Memorial Hall
The solemn and rigorous Zhu Xi Memorial Hall in Wuyishan is a veranda-style courtyard completed in 1990. There are newly written plaques and couplets hanging in the museum, many of which have concise language, profound meaning and brilliant literary brilliance.
There is a large plaque hanging high on the simple gate, with the title "Zhu Xi Memorial Hall" in five eye-catching characters. It is a calligraphy treasure left by Comrade Fang Yi during his inspection in Wuyi Mountain. It is solemn, vigorous and has the style of a great calligrapher.
Zhu Xi taught in Wuyi Mountain for more than 40 years, inheriting and developing the Neo-Confucian system. The cursive couplets on both sides of the gate in front of the palace express the profound significance of Zhu Xi's inheritance and development. The couplet says: "Connecting the origins of Yiluo and opening the door to Zou Lu in the Fujian Sea." The couplet shows that Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism has become an important stage in the history of the development of Chinese philosophy. This couplet hanging on the door looks dignified and elegant, and it is eye-catching.
In front of the main hall, there is a couplet that reads "To reach the broad yet to be subtle, to be extremely wise but to be of the mean", which expresses the breadth and depth of Zhu Xi's philosophical system and the Confucian norms of life and conduct.
The four characters "Xue Da Xing Tian" written on the horizontal plaque in front of the main hall are in powerful and strong fonts. This plaque was originally inscribed by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty for "Ziyang Academy" in 1787 AD. Its general meaning is: "Xue" is the study of things, "Da" is the knowledge, "Xing" is the Tao, and "Heaven" is the virtue. "Studying things to achieve knowledge" is the core of Zhu Xi's epistemology, which regards morality as the embodiment of the way of heaven. That is, through moral cultivation, we pursue the state of "utter sincerity", so as to sense the heaven and earth and achieve "the unity of nature and man".
Mr. Zhao Puchu, Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, most admires a pair of seal script couplets written by Mr. Pan Zhulan hanging in the hall. The couplet's narrative is freehand and concise, explaining that Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism is based on Confucian thought such as Confucius and Mencius, and incorporates a large number of materialistic simple thoughts and the results of natural science, establishing Zhu Xi's status alongside sages such as Confucius and Mencius. The whole couplet is:
Reflect on practice, use theory to reach knowledge, pass on the two courses and divide it;
Teach students, write books and establish theories, and be worthy of the eternal love of the ten philosophies.
After visiting the memorial hall, Mr. Zhao Puchu expressed his admiration for Zhu Xi’s achievements in teaching disciples and writings in Wuyi Mountain for more than 40 years and establishing the Fujian learning system. At the request of his master, he wrote a couplet to show his admiration for Zhu Zi. The couplet says:
Through the ages, the knowledge of nature and nature has been studied by Cheng Zi; One-line Sky-Huxiao Rock-Doulufeng Scenic Area
One-line Sky
In a deep canyon south of Erqu of Jiuqu River, there is a majestic boulder hundreds of meters long. Zhang, Qianren high, named "Lingyan". The rock end slopes out and covers three adjacent caves: Lingyan Cave on the left, Feng Cave in the middle, and Fuxi Cave on the right. Entering the rock from Fuxi Cave, reaching the depths, looking up, I saw a crack in the top of the rock, like a sharp axe. It was less than a foot apart and about a hundred meters long. A ray of skylight leaked in from it. Just like a blue rainbow across the sky, this is a line of sky that is astonishingly "wonderful and miraculous". In front of the main hall, there is a couplet that reads, "To achieve the broad and yet the subtle, to be extremely wise and to be of the mean", which expresses the profoundness of Zhu Xi's philosophical system and the Confucian standards of life and conduct.

In a deep canyon south of Erqu of Jiuqu River, there is a majestic boulder hundreds of meters long. Zhang, Qianren high, named "Lingyan". The rock end slopes out and covers three adjacent caves: Lingyan Cave on the left, Feng Cave in the middle, and Fuxi Cave on the right. Entering the rock from Fuxi Cave, reaching the depths, looking up, I saw a crack in the top of the rock, just like a sharp axe. It was less than a foot apart and about a hundred meters long. A ray of skylight leaked in from it. Just like a blue rainbow across the sky, this is a line of sky that is astonishingly "wonderful and miraculous".
There are many folklores about the origin of the line of sky. Some said it was cut by the peach blossom girl with an embroidery needle; some said it was cut by the great god Fuxi with a jade axe. However, according to scientific analysis, the red rock formations in Wuyi Mountain are composed of sandstone, conglomerate and shale, and the lithology is relatively fragile. During the uplift of the earth's crust, the rock layers are affected by uneven stress, causing slight fractures, forming so-called "joints." This kind of vertical joints, that is, tiny cracks, gradually expand and lengthen under the dissolution and erosion of flowing water over the years. The soft shale at the bottom of the rock formation gradually eroded away and became a flat and shallow cave. As a result, the three holes were juxtaposed, and the natural wonder of seeing the sky appeared.
Watch the skyline in Fuxi Cave. Walk to the right along the stone ridge for dozens of steps and you can turn into the Wind Cave. The cool breeze blows in from the stone crevices. Even if you come here in the hot summer, you will feel the chill in your muscles and bones if you sit for a while. The words "Wind Cave" on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave are very eye-catching and were written by Xu Ziqiang of the Song Dynasty. After exiting the Wind Cave and going around a stone corridor, you will find Lingyan Cave. According to legend, there was an immortal named Ge who subdued demons here before, so the cave was also called Ge Xian Cave.
There is an ancient well in the cave called the Holy Water Well.
Opposite the line of sky to the south is Pavilion Rock. This is a rock wall that stands like a screen, with several caves on half of the wall. According to legend, this is the so-called fairy pavilion. On the left side of it, there is another rock named Lanyan. The rock walls are lined with stone carvings. There is a stone under the rock, leaning against the cliff, with a stone path extending into it, like a pass, known as the Tianmen. There is also an interesting snail cave in the pile of rocks in front of the rock.
Hu Roaring Rock
It is perched on the north side of the sky. According to legend, there was an immortal riding a tiger roaring on it, hence its name. In fact, the sound of "tiger roaring" comes from a cave on the rock. The mountain wind passes through the cave entrance, like a tiger roaring, and the sound spreads through the empty valley and shakes the mountains.
Tiger Roaring Rock has steep walls and stands alone, almost similar to Dawang Peak. Its path to the top is winding and winding, like a ladder ascending to the sky. Turning up from the bottom of the rock, halfway up the wall, there is a cave covered by a dangerous cliff and facing a ravine, called "Zhuzhen Cave". This cave is deep and wide enough to accommodate dozens of people. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Zi, the magistrate of Chong'an County, visited here and saw that the cave was facing the Xixi River, so he changed its name to "Huxi Cave" and carved the four characters "Huxi Spirit Cave" on the stone wall, which is eye-catching. Further up from Huxi Cave is the former site of Tiancheng Temple. Here, the rock walls above are sloping, and the mountain streams flow back below. The terrain is both high and open, but also deep. The houses built have only four earthen walls, no tiles, and are not intruded by wind and rain. Living in the house at night, you can see the stars and the moon when you look up, and hear the sound of water with your ears. It feels like "you are on the stars and the moon, among the water clouds." On the right wall of the Zen courtyard, there is a famous spring. It enters and exits the stone gaps and flows along the cliff. Therefore, the sound of the water and rocks interacting is like a child learning to speak, so it is called "Yu'er Spring". According to the "Wuyi Miscellaneous Notes" written by Wu Cha in the Ming Dynasty, this spring water is "as thick as a paste, and the hair can be seen in the cup. The taste is sweet and rich, and it feels soft and smooth when sipping." Therefore, those who are fond of drinking tea often bring tea sets here to brew tea from the spring to get the natural and authentic taste.
Dahongpao Tea Tree Scenic Area
The Dahongpao Tea Tree, known as the "King of Teas", grows at the foot of the last rock in the Kowloon Nest. The reason why Dahongpao tea is known as the "King of Teas" is because of its unique growing environment. On the cliff where the tea tree is located, there is a long and narrow rock crevice, and spring water drips from the top of the rock crevice all year round. There are organic matter such as moss in the spring water, so the soil is moister and more fertile than elsewhere. The rock walls on both sides of the tea trees are upright, the sunshine is short, and the temperature does not change much. In addition, tea farmers usually manage carefully, and when harvesting, processing and processing, they must recruit the most skilled tea masters to take charge, and use special utensils. Therefore, Dahongpao tea has unique quality and special medicinal effects. According to the evaluation of the tea master, Dahongpao tea has not lost its true flavor of the original tea after brewing it for 9 times - the fragrance of osmanthus. As for other famous teas, the taste will be very weak after brewing it for 7 times. Thus winning the title of "King of Tea".
As for the origin of the name of the Dahongpao tea tree, there is a folk legend that one travels north from the Chanyuan, goes around the back of the rock, descends the tea slope, and then embarks on the road to the top. This is a path carved on the cliff. , its steep and thrilling shape is no less than the "dragon's spine" and "chicken breast" connecting Sun Peak. And at the top, there is another unfathomable chasm, just like the Toulong Cave on Dawang Peak. There is a bridge in the middle, and there is nothing left or right to rely on. People are on the bridge, and their lives depend on it. Therefore, the three words "Dingming Bridge" are engraved on the stone wall.
Huxiao Rock is not only interesting as a spring stone, but also a place for garrisoning troops with "deep streams for diving and narrow passes for defense." According to "Wuyi Mountain Chronicles": In the ninth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1652), in order to resist the rule of the Qing Dynasty and national oppression, the farmers in Wuyi Mountains, under the leadership of Chen Derong, Huo Wu and others, took Huxiao Rock as a stronghold and rose up. They occupied Chong'an County for several months. Then he moved to Jianyang, Jianou and other places, and became a powerful force in northern Fujian. Although this uprising ended in failure, the aftermath was lingering. In the forty-third year of Kangxi (AD 1704), another brother, Lai Xiang from Jianyang, gathered hundreds of people to build a stockade in the Huxiaoyan area and planned an uprising. However, due to the leak of the incident, they were suppressed by the government.
In Wuyi, the only rock that has the power of all the peaks is Tiger Roar. Therefore, Tiger Roaring Rock can be said to be a beautiful place where "every eye can see a picture". Doumong Peak
is located to the west of Lion Peak. This is a steep mountain peak, high in front and low in back, stretching in the air. On the top of the round rock, ancient pines stand tall; the back of the rock slopes down, and when viewed from the north, it looks like an ancient warrior's helmet. Therefore, people gave it the nickname "Dou Ming Peak".
There is a cave on the west wall of Doumun Peak, which contains two ship coffins, so Doumun Peak is also known as the "Ship Rock". Behind the peak, there are Taiji Rock and Tiger Cave.
There is an ornamental tea orchard under the peak, which is full of fruits during the harvest season. It is close to Jade Girl Peak and has a quiet environment. Many cultural people say that it is full of poetic and picturesque scenery with green pines and green bamboos, small bridges and flowing water.
Dahongpao Tea Tree Scenic Area
The Dahongpao Tea Tree, known as the "King of Teas", grows at the foot of the last rock in the Kowloon Nest. The reason why Dahongpao tea is known as the "King of Teas" is because of its unique growing environment. On the cliff where the tea tree is located, there is a long and narrow rock crevice, and spring water drips from the top of the rock crevice all year round. There is a lot of moss in the spring water. Some people say that the old abbot of Tianxin Temple used the sacred tea from Jiulong Nest to cure a disease of a man who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Later, he won the first prize. In order to thank the sacred tea for saving his life, he returned to Wuyi Mountain and took off his clothes. The Dahongpao on his body was draped on the tea tree, so later generations named the tea "Dahongpao".
Others say that an empress dowager of a certain dynasty was ill. She suffered from abdominal pain and bloating all day long and was bedridden. She consulted famous doctors all over the world and tried all the miraculous medicines, but none of them worked. When the old abbot of Houtian Xin Temple learned about it, he offered a box of Kowloon Nest Tea, which cured the Empress Dowager's illness. The emperor then ordered his ministers to bring a big red robe and go to Wuyi Mountain on his behalf to express gratitude. After the minister arrived at Wuyi Mountain, he put Dahongpao on the sacred tea and named the tea tree "Dahongpao". But more people think that the Dahongpao tea tree got its name because in early spring, the leaf buds bloom and the tree is bright red. From a distance, it looks like Dahongpao tea trees covering the crown of the tree.
There are only four Dahongpao tea trees
