Hiking up Tianshi Peak in Wuyi 🏔
Getting There - You can either take the train from Shanghai to Wuyi or a car/bus. 🚄
Attractions - Wuyi had amazing hiking trails and many waterfalls. 🥾
It was a wet and cold morning but nothing was going to stop me from a little hiking. The hike has many stairs and it’s fairly safe. The views are amazing and really breathe taking. ⛰
When you finally reach the top you can see the view from a glass bridge, if you’re looking to leave escape the big City this is the perfect place to get a little reboot. 🌉
I would suggest going with a tour group to do the hike or with a group that you see at the location. I would definitely do the hike again in the spring. 🌸

A hidden gem with a misleading name | Wuyi Niutou Mountain.
| Wuyi Niutou Mountain. Niutou Mountain is known as the "First Peak of the Eight Wus in Jinhua". It is said to be the incarnation of Laozi's mount, the Green Ox, and is a 4A National Forest Park‼️
If you want to go somewhere with fewer people during the Chinese New Year, where you can climb high and enjoy the scenery, I highly recommend it👍👍
📍Location: Wuyi Niutou Mountain

❤️Attractions:
1️⃣, Tianshi Peak, there is a Tianshi Temple on it to worship Ye Fashan Tianshi, where you can pray and make a wish🙏🙏
2️⃣, Glass platform, it is said to be 300m high, it is a bit nervous to walk on it, it feels like being in the clouds🫣🫣

A truly niche travel destination in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai! Go there for the May Day holiday!
Hi, I'm YeYe
Jinhua Wuyi, this low-key small county, hides ancient villages wilder than Songyang and stunning natural scenery. If you are looking for a short trip destination for the May Day holiday with fewer people, then Wuyi is definitely an option not to be missed. Next, let me take you to explore the charm of Wuyi.
🗓Itinerary:
Day one at noon: 📍Niutoushan Forest Park, ticket 110, cheaper if booked in advance.
This place is known as the 'Little Jiuzhaigou of the South of the Yangtze River', with a very high forest coverage rate and the air is filled with the fresh scent of trees. I walked deep into the forest along the path, enjoying the dense trees and the fragrance of birds and flowers. A real-life version of the Emerald City! There are really few people!
After coming down the mountain, I ate at a nearby farmhouse delight, had soup dumplings and taro dumplings with a unique taste, not bad, and the bamboo tube rice was really fragrant, strongly recommend trying the local dishes.
Day two:
📍Shanxiabaocun, Yuyuancun, free!
First, I went to Shanxiabaocun. This village is also full of ancient charm, with simple folk houses and quiet streets that made me linger. I walked on the cobblestone road, feeling the sediment of the years and the weight of history.
📍Afternoon: Exploring Yuyuancun
This village, known as the ancient village of Taiji celestial phenomena, is full of mystery and charm. The South Song Dynasty cave master temple, Yuan Dynasty Lisheng Bridge, Ming Dynasty ancient tombs. The village is not big, but you can feel that every place here is full of stories and traces of history.
After finishing the tour in Yuyuancun, I started to prepare for the return trip. Whether it was the adventure in Niutoushan or the visit to the ancient villages, they all left me with beautiful memories. If you also want to, why not come and experience it yourself. Recommended to come in April or May.
📝Note tips:
If you need to buy tickets, it is recommended to purchase them online in advance, which will be cheaper.
The ancestral halls in the village will charge a fee, and the preservation is not high, just look at the photos.
After getting to the parking lot at the entrance of Yuyuancun, you can walk along the stream, and at the end, you will see the few attractions I mentioned
