"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." -http://whc.unesco.org
