Mount Wuyi hosted the Min-style Autumn, Enjoyable Mountains and Sea tourism promotion event on 25 September 2026 in Nanping, China. The Chinese name ??? appeared across the programme, which combined the Moonlit Tea Making, Wuyi Night event with cultural activities and evening entertainment.
Mount Wuyi event brought autumn programme to Nanping
The event was organised by the Fujian Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, with the Nanping Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism and the Wuyishan Municipal People’s Government as co-organisers. It took place at the China Wuyi Tea Garden and the Impression Da Hong Pao Square, linking the wider mountain setting with dedicated cultural venues.
The programme included the Light and Shadow in the Sky projection show, a moonlight concert, a tea poetry gathering, craft and food markets, and interactive performances. The projection presentation used naked-eye 3D holography and laser carving on the mountain, making the surrounding landscape part of the stage. A report on the 25 September event also described tea-making and poetry activities in the garden.
A moonlight concert formed part of the programme, while the tea poetry area provided eight tea-tasting spaces. The adjacent non-heritage craft market presented Wuyi bamboo weaving, jasmine-tea scenting, incense traditions and gilt decoration on black-glazed Jian ware. A second market at Impression Da Hong Pao Square contained 28 stalls across food, crafts, non-heritage work, interactive activities and traditional games. The event programme and venues were reported by China News Fujian.
Mount Wuyi’s river gorges frame the cultural programme
The event’s use of light, tea and performance reflected the character of the wider heritage landscape. UNESCO describes Mount Wuyi as a protected area in Fujian with the dramatic gorges of the Nine-Bend River, temples and monasteries, and a long association with the development and spread of Neo-Confucianism from the eleventh century.
The World Heritage property also contains a large subtropical forest and serves as a refuge for ancient relict species, many endemic to China. Its cultural record includes the nearby Han-period administrative capital at Chengcun, as well as Confucian academies, inscriptions and archaeological remains. The combination of natural scenery and cultural history explains why a tea garden event could use both modern projection technology and historical references to Zhu Xi. UNESCO’s description of Mount Wuyi records these natural and cultural values.
