## About Jiuqu Stream

Ride a replica bamboo raft about 2 metres wide and 9 metres long from Nine Bends to First Bend. This is the most distinctive attraction in Wuyi Mountain, offering views of the entire area.
As the Jiuqu Stream alternates between calm and rushing waters, the bamboo raft glides past peak after peak of breathtaking scenery. You can also spot the “Wuyi boat coffins,” which have been suspended on the sheer cliffs for more than 3,000 years.

- As you drift down the Jiuqu Stream, look up to see rows of caves in the cliffs, each holding hanging coffins. The mystery of how they were placed there remains unsolved.
