Mount Wuyi (Wuyishan) hosts the Wuyi Mountain Treasure Cup from 3 to 5 October 2026 in the main scenic area of Nanping, China. The public tourism event is part of the Mid-Autumn and National Day programme published by the Fujian Department of Culture and Tourism.
Treasure Cup brings a public event to Mount Wuyi
The programme lists the Wuyi Mountain Treasure Cup as a themed cultural tourism event taking place on 25 September and again from 3 to 5 October. Its venue is the main scenic area, placing the October dates within the core visitor landscape rather than at an unrelated venue in Nanping.
The programme describes an interactive activity in which visitors write down worries and dissolve them in water. It also lists related experiences involving tea, a Treasure Cup and public participation in tea tasting. The event is presented as part of the city’s Mid-Autumn and National Day tourism programme, rather than as a political gathering or a closed ceremony. The published schedule is carried by the Fujian October culture guide, which attributes the information to the provincial tourism authority.
Mount Wuyi connects the event with a protected landscape
The October activity takes place against a landscape recognised by UNESCO for both cultural and natural importance. UNESCO describes Mount Wuyi as a site in Fujian with subtropical forest, rare species and the dramatic gorges of the Nine-Bend River.
The property also preserves evidence of long cultural activity. UNESCO records temples, monasteries, ancient Confucian academies and the remains of a Han administrative capital near Chengcun. The World Heritage property covers 107,044 hectares and includes the Wuyishan National Scenic Area, the Nine-Bend Stream Ecological Protection Area, the Wuyishan National Nature Reserve and a separate area protecting the remains of the ancient Han Dynasty. The UNESCO World Heritage description links the river landscape to the development of Neo-Confucianism from the eleventh century.
This gives the Treasure Cup a specific setting: the activity is scheduled in the same main scenic area where visitors encounter the river gorges, red sandstone landforms and cultural remains that define the World Heritage property.
