Huma Mountain Stream at the top runs down directly from the peak, looking like a piece of white silk, hence the name of snowflake spring, which is a wonder in the mountain. Jade Girl Peak is in the shape of a pretty girl, Maiden Peak stands to the south of Nine-bend Stream and Two-bend Stream. It faces Great King Peak across the stream, with the Iron Slab Peak in the middle. At the foot of Jade Girl Peak lies Yuxiang Pond, which has a seal stone in it.

After breakfast, you will take a boat cruise down Jiuqu Stream to view the elegant scenery, consisting of towering mountains, verdant plants, blue skies, and clear water. The Danxia landform by the river is a highlight of Mount Wuyi.

After lunch, you will visit Tiger Roaring Rock and A Thread of Sky. The Roaring Tiger Rock is a desk-typed hill with cliffs at a sea level of 424.2 meters. Hiking on the zigzag trails makes people feel as if they are ascending to the sky. The Thread of Sky is located in the south of the main Wuyi Mountains in a deep valley near the Second Twist River. There is a giant rock that covers three caves, leaving a tiny gap of less than one meter, allowing light to squeeze through from the sky. After you walk into the cave, at some point deep and dark enough, you will find yourself squeezing your body through two giant rocks in the dark with only a tiny thread of light shining on you from the sky high above, giving you a sense of light coming from heaven. Visiting the Roaring Tiger Rock takes about two hours and one hour for viewing A Thread of Sky. The two attractions combined will take you half a day.

After this, your private driver will take you to the railway station or the airport. The tour ends.
