 The
area of the Wuyi Mountains is also one of the places in south China
rich in 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.
