Located at the Second Bend, the graceful peak stands tall by the water, adorned with flowers, exuding the charm of a beautiful maiden. Viewed from the stream, it vividly resembles an exceptionally lovely young lady.
Previous stop: King Peak
“A flower-crowned peak by the water, fair as a virgin’s delicate form” — the peak is strikingly beautiful and has become a symbol of Wuyi Mountain’s landscape. The bamboo raft dock on the left bank of the peak serves as a key boarding and disembarking point for the Nine-Bend Stream tour.
Beneath Mount Yuniu lies the clear, emerald-green Bathing Fragrance Pool, said to be where the maiden once bathed. In the middle of the pool lies a square, massive rock inscribed with the characters “Seal Stone,” which legend says was a love token given to the maiden by the King.
On the right side of Mount Yuniu is a cliff known as “Reining-in-the-Horse Rock.” It bears the four-square-meter inscription “Mirror Stand” in neat, elegant calligraphy, visible from miles away. It is the largest cliff carving in the Wuyi Mountain scenic area.
