Dawang Peak
大王峰
The 'First Peak of the Immortal Pass' at the southern entrance to Wuyi Mountain. Shaped like a king's crown, it can be climbed by stone steps cut into the cliff, with views over the mouth of the Nine-Bend Stream.
Dawang Peak rises about 530 meters above sea level, at the mouth of the Nine-Bend Stream on the north side of Wuyi Palace. It has cliffs on all four sides, and its rounded top resembles a crown, earning it the name 'First Peak of Wuyi.' The climbing trail starts near Wuyi Palace. The final section requires climbing steep stone steps cut into rock crevices. The round trip takes about 2 to 3 hours. From the summit you can look down on the mouth of the Nine-Bend Stream and the resort area, and far fewer visitors come here than to Tianyou Peak. It is included in the main scenic area ticket. The path is narrow and steep, so climbing is not recommended in rainy weather when it is slippery. Visitors who are afraid of heights should be cautious.
