Reserve Waterfall & Xiamei Village Day Trip
A quieter day away from the crowds: a chartered drive into the Wuyishan natural reserve for the Qinglong Grand Waterfall, then Xiamei ancient village — a Ming–Qing 'historic village of China'. Bookable end-to-end by our team.
Day Plan
Charter into the reserve. Hire a seven-seat air-con Changhe van from the resort (about ¥200 for the waterfall route, ¥300 for the full mountain-top day). Drive up to the Tongtian River gorge in the Wuyishan natural reserve — forest nearly pristine, steep terrain. The Qinglong Grand Waterfall (¥50, 08:00–18:00) is the centrepiece, reached past step-bridges and rock pools.
Lunch in the reserve. The reserve has food only near the Tongmu village area — bring snacks, or eat at the reserve restaurant and agree the price first. Mountain ham, river fish and bamboo shoots are the local dishes.
Xiamei ancient village. On the way back, stop at Xiamei village (¥50, 08:00–17:00, Hou Lane 1) — a 'historic and cultural village of China' since 2005, with hills guarding the village and water feeding it: cobbled lanes, Ming–Qing houses and a quiet, tidy layout. Return to the resort by evening.
