A one-day greenery-trampling route that not even all Wuyi locals may know! Few people!

As a native of Wuyi, I would like to recommend my hometown to everyone! Today, I am recommending a one-day tour route that is less crowded, scenically beautiful, and rich in cultural heritage. Yuyuan ➡️ Yanfu Temple ➡️ Baishuijiao Waterfall ➡️ Taishan Temple ➡️ Shanxiabao Village Check-in spots: 1⃣️ Yuyuan: Yuyuan Taichi Star Village was designed and built during the Ming Dynasty by the founding strategist Liu Bowen, based on the celestial bodies and the 'Twelve Zodiac Signs and Twenty-Eight Mansions'. There are numerous historical sites, with well-preserved ancient houses and bridges, and exquisite wood, brick, and stone carvings that are simply breathtaking. Recommended visiting time: 2h 2⃣️ Yanfu Temple: In 1934, the couple Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin conducted field surveys and mapping here. It is one of the only three remaining Yuan Dynasty buildings in the south of the Yangtze River. The main hall of Yanfu Temple is the earliest and most intact Yuan Dynasty building in the Jiangnan area, which is of great value for the study of architecture during the Song and Yuan periods. Remember to walk inside, the outside is newly expanded, the ancient Yanfu Temple is at the foot of the mountain. Recommended visiting time: 2h 3⃣️ Baishuijiao Waterfall Wuyi's 'Little Hundred Feet Gorge', the waterfall is more spectacular around Qingming Festival when the rainfall is plentiful! Recommended visiting time: 1h 4⃣️ Taishan Temple A thousand-year-old ancient temple hidden in the deep mountains, very simple and quiet Check-in spots: Fuhu Rock in front of the temple, the Big Buddha behind the temple, the Gushan Fairy Well in the east wing, and the tea mountains along the way Recommended visiting time: 2h 5⃣️ Shanxiabao Written into 'The History of Chinese Architecture' by Liang Sicheng and recommended by 'National Geographic' as the 'perfect mountain residence', the uncarved, antique-style Jiangnan residential houses. Recommended visiting time: 2h If you want to take your time, you can skip one or two spots or split it into a two-day tour. 🥘 Food: You can try Xuanping wontons, meat wheat cakes, taro dumplings, meat wheat cakes, and Ai cakes in Liucheng.
