Geography & Transportation

Wuyi Source, nestled in the mountainous region of Xingcun Town, Wuyishan City, Fujian Province, is a hidden gem just 30 kilometers southwest of the famous Wuyi Mountain Resort. To get there, fly into Wuyishan Airport or take a train to Wuyishan Station, then hop in a taxi or local bus. The area feels remote, but it’s easy to reach—and totally worth it for peaceful getaways.

Natural Landscapes

At Wuyi Source, nature steals the show. The Lion Peak and Lotus Valley form a dramatic backdrop, while the winding Jiuqu Stream (originating here!) carves through forests. Adrenaline junkies can drift down Biyu Lake, surrounded by emerald cliffs. For panoramic views, hike the Red River Valley trails, where crimson rocks meet crystal-clear waters. It’s like a “backyard garden” compared to Wuyi Mountain’s crowded spots—quiet, wild, and utterly refreshing.

Cultural Highlights

Wuyi Source isn’t just about scenery. The White Tower Mountain Taoist District offers temples and meditation pavilions, blending spirituality with mountain air. In the Wuyi Source Eco-Leisure Zone, stroll through a recreated folk culture village, where locals showcase tea-making, handicrafts, and traditional music. But the crown jewel? The “World’s Largest Tea Table”—a massive, two-ton camphor wood root carving in the Tea Village. Sip Da Hong Pao (a.k.a. “the king of teas”) here, once auctioned at $1 million per kilo! Nearby, historic tea inspection stations remind visitors how Wuyi’s tea trade boomed centuries ago.

Facilities & Services

Despite its wilderness vibe, Wuyi Source has comfy amenities. The Eco-Leisure Zone has lodges, teahouses, and souvenir shops. For adrenaline seekers, Biyu Lake’s drifting zone provides gear rentals. Families can relax in picnic areas near Lotus Creek, while history buffs will love guided tours of ancient tea horse trails used by traders. Pro tip: Try the Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong black tea—a favorite of British poet Lord Byron!
