Brief Description
"Mount Wuyi is the most outstanding area for biodiversity conservation in south-east China and a refuge for a large number of ancient, relict species, many of them endemic to China. The serene beauty of the dramatic gorges of the Nine Bend River, with its numerous temples and monasteries, many now in ruins, provided the setting for the development and spread of neo-Confucianism, which has been influential in the cultures of East Asia since the 11th century. In the 1st century B.C. a large administrative capital was built at nearby Chengcun by the Han dynasty rulers. Its massive walls enclose an archaeological site of great significance."
武夷山
"武夷山脉是中国东南部最负盛名的生物多样性保护区，也是大量古代孑遗植物的避难所，其中许多生物为中国所特有。九曲溪两岸 峡谷秀美，寺院庙宇众多，但其中也有不少早已成为废墟。该地区为唐宋理学的发展和传播提供了良好的地理环境，自11世纪以来，理教对东亚地区文化产生了相 当深刻的影响。公元1世纪时，汉朝统治者在程村附近建立了一处较大的行政首府，厚重坚实的围墙环绕四周，极具考古价值。"
