Jiuqu River (Nine-bend River)

Nine-bend River is the highlight of Wuyi Mountains. The Nine-bend Stream is 9. 5 kilometers long. This limpid stream originates from the Wuyi Natural Reserves and runs eastward through Xingcun Town and the scenic area of Wuyi Mountain. The stream has nine turns in its course, with each bend having its own unique landscape. On both sides of the stream stand fantastic crags and dense forests. The clear and deep stream forms a delightful contrast with red rock cliffs, creating a traditional mountain and river landscape painting. The dramatic peaks, wild gardenias and lilies, shoals as well as deep pools and the pleasant sound of rushing water create a picture when you take a raft along the river.
