Stone Peak of Wuyi Mountain
1 min readWood carvings and root carvings in Fujian province are fanous throughout China.
As final bend comes into view，so does the Shuiguang Shi（shuigudng shi ），a rock face with calligraphy and poems carved into it.Once again the imagination takes over when viewing Shizi Peak（shizi feng），a peak that resembles a lion.
Taking a slow paced raft down the lazy stream and catching sight of wild animals as they peek out of the underbrush.
Taking a sip of a highly prized tea that few people ever get to drink.
The raft finishes its journey at the lst bend；from here it’s a quick walk to WuyiPalace（wiyi gong ），the older Taoist Temple on the mountain.Emperor Wudi of the Han dynasty offered sacrifices to the mountain here.During the Tang，from 742 to 755，the Tianbao Pavilion（tianbao dion ）was added to the grounds.Outside the temple is a market street，Song Jie（song jie），recreated in a traditional Song dynasty setting.
The street is lined with teahouses，souvenir shops and restaurants.It’s a good place to spend an hour or so browsing and relaxing with a cup of tea.There’s also a small museum，the Wuyi Shan Lishi Wenwu Bowuguan（wuyishan lishi wenwu bowuguin；inside are exhibits of a coffin and the relics found within.
