Xingcun Town
星村镇
The starting pier of Nine-Bend Stream bamboo rafting. Tea markets, factories and tea shops crowd the town, making it the hub for buying rock tea and watching tea production.
Xingcun Town lies upstream on the Nine-Bend Stream. The pier for bamboo rafting on the stream is right at the edge of the town, and many visitors board their rafts here. The town is a major distribution center for Wuyi rock tea and Lapsang Souchong, with tea trading markets, factories and tea shops concentrated here. You can drink tea, watch tea being withered, roasted and fired, and the town feels more lived-in than the resort area. Snacks and home-style meals here are also cheap. It is about 15 km from the resort area and is connected by buses and scenic area shuttles. It is a good place to spend one to two hours before or after rafting.
