🎧 Listen to Introduction

Wuyishan is the most outstanding area of biodiversity conservation in southeast China and a refuge for a large number of ancient, relict species, many of which are endemic to China. The tranquil beauty of the Jiuqu River Gorge, with its numerous temples and monasteries, many of which are now in ruins, provided the setting for the development and spread of Neo-Confucianism, which has had a profound influence on East Asian culture since the 11th century. In the 1st century BC, the rulers of the Han Dynasty built a large administrative capital in the nearby village of Chengcun. Its massive walls surrounded a significant archaeological site.
