10-day Wuyishan itinerary at a glance
Use our full Wuyishan travel guide as the base and adapt it to 10 days. Keep the city's three signature attractions as the backbone; fill the rest with neighborhood walks, food markets, and an easy day trip.
Arrival, One-Line Sky & Tiger-Roar Rock
Rail in to Wuyishan East on the high-speed line opened in 2015, then the cliff crevice whose tightest squeeze runs under half a metre, and the wind-cave rock that booms after rain.

Mother Trees & Water-Curtain Cave
Six mother tea bushes at Jiulongke, fenced off since picking ended in 2006, then an easy ridge walk to the springs that fall about a hundred metres past the cave mouth.

Xingcun Raft & Imperial Garden
Book the morning slot — boats push off from the Xingcun docks between roughly 06:40 and 16:30 in season, and the 9.5-kilometre float through nine bends takes about 100 minutes, passing the fourth-bend tea garden founded in 1302.

Baiyun Temple Sunrise & the Song Kilns
A pre-dawn stairway up to the cliffside temple above the upper bends for first light, then the kiln mounds by the north entrance where black-glazed tea bowls were fired some eight centuries ago.

Tongmu Pass & Lapsang Souchong
Up the valley where black tea was first smoked over pinewood some four centuries back. The national reserve restricts its core — checkpoints turn back individual cars, so arrange a licensed visit and treat any closure as final.

Qinglong Waterfall Gorge
The forest-park ravines above the valley, where the falls drop some 120 metres through layered green — a half-hour drive from the raft country, cooler by a few degrees in summer.
- wuyishan qinglong waterfall
Minyue King City at Chengcun
A walled Han-era capital of roughly 48 hectares, razed around 110 BC after the dynasty absorbed the Minyue kingdom — rammed-earth ramparts and a site museum in the fields southwest of Chengcun village.

Shaowu — Heping Old Town
An honest neighbouring-county day, ninety minutes west into Shaowu — close to 200 Ming- and Qing-era houses line a 600-metre flagstone street billed locally as Fujian's first street, and He-ping tofu lands on every lunch table.
- wuyishan shaowu heping town
Slow Day in Sangu
Riverside paths, tasting tables and an early night after eight days on the trails — book a roasting-and-cupping session if the legs want a rest.
- wuyishan sangu town
Tea Galleries & Departure
Morning in the tea-history galleries at Sangu, then the high-speed rail from Wuyishan East.
