Bamboo Raft

This is an ancient way of travelling down this section of Wuyishan. It is a RMB100 for a 1.5 hour leisurely ride down the stream to take in the natural beauty of Wuyishan. The raft is constructed of bamboo woven together to form a platform for passengers to sit on.

Global Hotel: 3-Star Hotel in Wuyishan

Global Hotel: 3-Star Hotel in Wuyishan, Wuyishan

 vincentf Says:  Wuyishan is pretty much underdeveloped. The hotels here are very modest and really haven't catered to overseas tourists much. This hotel shuts off the corridor lights prior to sunrise and thus leading to walking thru darkness inside the hotel!! This is not a recommended...

This is the airport into Wuyishan. A map depicting the surrounding environs is located just prior to leaving the baggage handling area. It offers direct flights including from Hong Kong and Xiamen, China.

Traffic accident

While touring a tea company, a traffic accident had just occurred between a van and a taxi. However, the strangest things is the fact that everyone (at least the locals) just stand around and look at the accident and not try to do something about it.

Toilet on train

The toilets are despicable. They absolutely stink! It makes Hong Kong public toilets usable! I've always wondered where the wastes go when you press that lever.

Furthermore, a strange custom you'll observe is the fact that the locals will use the seat covers on the passenger seat and use it as blankets.

Bamboo Seats

Unless you are not an avid adventurists, do not be lazy and be carried by two guys on these bamboo seats. It may be less strenuous, but you do not see the true beauty of Wuyishan. Apparently, these guys take a back route to the top of the peak.

Favorite thing: i did not note down the name of the hotel that i stayed. anyway, its a bad experience. staff wasnt friendly, unhelpful and bad service. Nothing much on the breakfast too.

not only we complain on the our hotel service, other tour group members also complain their hotel too. i guess all the hotel staff there are really unfriendly. nothing great about the hotel rooms, decoration too.

every where is showing 'da jiu dian' in fact, there are merely a 2-3 stars rating for china.
