From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wuyishan is indeed a small city in northern Fujian Province, China. But in China, in the minds of the Chinese, Wuyishan is a magical, almost sacred range of mountains that juts up around the Nine-Bend River, with a suddenness so often associated with the karsts around the more famous tourist destination of Guilin.

Wuyishan, or "Wuyi Mountain," is virtually an unknown wonder outside of China. A few hotels cater to Chinese group meetings, after which attendees are "treated" to a breath-defying climb up Tianyou Peak, a challenging round trip of some 3000 steps. Another popular activity is a two-hour ride down the river, surrounded by the incredible peaks of Wuyishan. This leisurely trip is made on a somewhat rickety six-passenger bamboo raft, navigated by two polers.

What Wuyishan needs most is a marketing campaign that positions the area as an extraordinary scenic beauty heretofore undiscovered by international visitors to China.
