世界遺產武夷山

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.

武夷山是中國東南部生物多樣性的保護最完整之地區，其也是許多中國特有卻瀕臨絕種之物種的一個棲息地。九曲江峽谷的沉靜美景，及數不盡的寺廟和修道寺，雖然多已損壞，但這些都提供了從11世紀起影響東亞文化的新儒學之發展與傳播。在西元前1世紀，漢朝的統治者曾在城村附近建立一個大型的行政首都。它厚實的城牆卻也圍住了重要的考古遺跡。
