Lying in the junction of east China's Jiangxi Province and southeast China's Fujian Province, the Wuyi Mountains are an important area for biodiversity protection. There is a very complete mid-subtropical native forest ecosystem. Consisting of rolling peaks and numerous valleys, the Wuyi Mountains are home to different types of vegetation, thus offering special scenery with multiple landscapes.
In 2016, a pilot program for the Wuyishan National Park management system, which combined the Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve with the surrounding nature reserves, was launched, and the area was officially designated as a national park in October 2021.
The Wuyishan National Park is listed as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) cultural and natural heritage site. It is known as the "kingdom of snakes," "the world of insects," and "the paradise of birds."
Not only that, Wuyishan National Park is the only national park in China that is famous for tea. Eco-friendly tea plantations which can both produce tea and drive the development of local economy have been created there.
