biological resources, with more than 3,000 plant species, including more than 1,000 tree species. Moreover, Wuyi Rock Tea, one of the two famous tea categories of Fujian, is produced here. Entering the Wuyi Mountains, one finds himself in a world of tea. The Wuyi’s peaks, shrouded with clouds and mists, only get short period of time in the sunshine, and the soil and water are unpolluted. All these guarantee the quality of Rock Tea. There are more than 100 varieties, and Dahongpao (Red Robe) is the best known among them. Dahongpao Tea grows in Jiulongge near Tianxin Rock. Its output is minimal. For the convenience of tourists, the Wuyishan Scenic Area Administration has made Jiulongge a tourist spot. Tourists can take a bus to the entrance of Jiulongge.
At every resting-place in the scenic area, Rock Tea is available to tourists. A pot of tea is priced differently according to its variety. Sitting on a bamboo stool by a bamboo table in the Wuyi Mountains and sipping Rock Tea, one feels a pleasant sense of relaxation. To let tourists have a better understanding of Wuyi Rock Tea, the scenic area has preserved several tea processing workshops. Tourists can see various procedures of tea processing and also try their hands to experience how tea is processed. In addition, the local people demonstrate tea-serving ceremonies and give song and dance performances to promote the local tea culture.
Tourists will find that a tour to the Wuyi Mountains is worthwhile
