Eighteen Villages

　　The Eighteen Villages scenic area lies between the Wuyishan Nature Reserve and the Wuyishan Scenic Area, by the Tongmu Stream at the source of the Nine-Bend River, and is 20 kilometers from the Wuyishan National Tourist Resort. The area features the “No. 1 in East China” Nokeli slide, which is 658 meters long. It allows you to relive childhood joys and experience a thrilling yet safe traditional folk amusement activity. The scenic area encompasses primitive forest valleys, Three Residence Rocks, Tianfu Spring, Qingniu Pass, Laojun Shrine, Heavy Pond, Phoenix Waterfall, Buddha Hall Rock, Monkey Watching the Big Dipper, and Sitting Rock by the Flowing Stream. Here, springs cascade and waterfalls flow, valleys are serene with dense forests, vines and creepers intertwine, and rare birds and unique flowers abound — making it an ideal destination for scientific research, exploration, leisure, vacation, and fitness.

　　It’s a harmonious composition like a fine musical piece, where ancient trees in the old woods complement oddly shaped rocks and rocks, exuding a wild charm. The valley contains many beautiful scenic spots, with the essence found at Puyuan, Qingniu Pass, and Heavy Pond. The paths within the area twist along the riverbanks and follow the contours of the mountain, featuring certain slopes and a moderate level of difficulty. Eighteen Villages is situated within the Wuyishan Nature Reserve, which is an important part of the World Natural and Cultural Heritage site. It boasts extremely rich biodiversity, with the reserve being known as the “world of insects,” “paradise of birds,” “kingdom of snakes,” and “window on the world’s biodiversity.”
