Location & How to Get There

Nestled in the heart of Wuyi Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Fujian Province, Wuyi Mountain Nine Bend Source Eco-Tea Manor sits at 43 Shangfen Road, Wuyishan City. This tea paradise is tucked between lush green hills and crystal-clear streams, about a 40-minute taxi ride from Wuyi Shandong High-Speed Train Station (connected to Fuzhou or Xiamen). If you drive, exit the Wuyi Mountain toll gate and follow the winding mountain roads—trust me, the scenic journey is worth it!

Nature’s Playground

At Nine Bend Source Eco-Tea Manor, nature steals the show. Imagine terraced tea fields that look like green carpets hugging the mountains, mist-kissed mornings, and a river so clear you can spot fish swimming. The air here is pure, filled with the fresh scent of oolong tea leaves. Locals call this area “nine bends” because a river loops through the valley like a serpent—perfect for boat rides or just soaking in the view. Bring your camera; every corner is Instagram-worthy!

Tea Culture Deep Dive

This isn’t just a tourist spot—it’s a living museum of tea culture. Nine Bend Source Eco-Tea Manor has been growing tea for centuries, and you can join tea farmers for a morning of plucking leaves (fun fact: it’s harder than it looks!). Afterward, watch masters stir-fry tea leaves in giant woks, then try your hand at rolling tea balls. The best part? Sipping the fruit of your labor in a cliffside teahouse while learning how Wuyi tea became China’s royal brew. Pro tip: Try the Da Hong Pao (“Big Red Robe”)—it’s liquid gold.

Off-the-Beaten-Path Fun

Skip the crowds! Unlike busy city attractions, Nine Bend Source Eco-Tea Manor feels peaceful. Walk bamboo-lined trails, spot wildlife (keep an eye out for monkeys!), or rent a bike to explore nearby villages. The manor also hosts tea-themed festivals where you can blend your own blend, compete in tea-tasting games, or even stargaze by a campfire. It’s immersive without being touristy—exactly what travelers crave.

Stay, Eat, Repeat

The manor offers cozy tea-themed lodges with floor-to-ceiling windows. Wake up to mountain fog and a breakfast of bianzuo (rice noodles) with tea-infused sauces. For lunch, savor locally sourced dishes like steamed eel and fried wild mushrooms—all paired with, you guessed it, tea. Cap your day with a sunset hike to Overlook Pavilion, where the hills turn pink and the river glows. Bonus: Buy artisan tea souvenirs straight from the source—no middlemen markups!
