Longchuan Grand Canyon

Longchuan Grand Canyon (龙川大峡谷) is 21 kilometers from the Wuyi Mountains Entrance and 18 kilometers from the core area of the preserve.

This canyon world is a realm of mountain peaks, gardens, and waterfalls. There are various species of animals and birds. Ancient trees with giant vines entwined thrusts into the sky. Elegant waterfalls cascade along the rugged surface of the mountains; their silvery curtains bouncing off the rock and reflect the colorful sunlight. The waterfalls give a poetic touch to the picturesque landscape.

The Best Time to Visit Wuyi Mountain

June–October is the best time to visit Wuyi Mountain. It is open year round, but visitors can best enjoy the many wonders of nature during warm, dry days. Xiamen is subject to monsoon rains between June and September.  During this period, the plants glow well and river is fuller.

  • Several trains connect the park from the cities of Xiamen and Fuzhou, as well as G trains from Beijing and Shanghai.
