Jiuqu Stream-Wuyi Palace-Tiger Roaring Rock-A thread of Sky

• Wuyi Mountain Scenic Resort

  8 hoursAdmission Ticket Included

  After breakfast, you will take a boat cruise down Jiuqu Stream to view the elegant scenery, consisting of towering mountains, verdant plants, blue skies, and clear water. The Danxia landform by the river is a highlight of Mount Wuyi. Due to many painters and poets having visited Mount Wuyi throughout history for inspiration, there are many inscriptions on Mount Wuyi. Then head to Wuyi Palace which located at the mouth of Nine-bend Stream was first constructed in the Tang Dynasty, and now preserves two Dragon wells, Wannian Palace and Sanqing Hall. At present, Wannian Palace serves as the memorial hall of Zhu Xi, and grows to sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the courtyard with over 1,000 years history, known as 'king of sweet-scented osmanthus trees'. After lunch, you will visit Tiger Roaring Rock and A thread of Sky. The Roaring Tiger Rock is a desk-typed hill with steep cliffs at the sea level of 424.2 meters. Hiking on the zigzag trails makes people feel as if ascending to the sky. The Thread of Sky locates in the south of the main Wuyi Mountains in a deep valley near the Second Twist River. There is giant rock that huge enough to cover three caves and it leaves a tiny gap less than one meter allowing light to squeeze through from the sky. After you have walked into the cave, at some point deep and dark enough, you will find yourself squeeze your body through two giant rocks in the dark with only tiny thread of light shining on you from the sky high above giving you a sense of a light coming from heaven. Basically visiting the Roaring Tiger Rock takes about two hours, and one hour for viewing A Thread of Sky. The two attractions combined will take you half day. Then your private driver will take you to your hotel or the railway station or the airport.
