Yunu (Jade Maiden) Peak

玉女峰

A slender Danxia solitary peak beside the Second Bend of the Nine-Bend Stream, facing Dawang Peak across the water. It is the iconic image of Wuyi Mountain.

Yunu Peak lies on the south bank of the Second Bend of the Nine-Bend Stream. Its summit is thickly wooded and its rock walls are smooth, and it stands upright beside the water like a young woman. Across from it, Dawang Peak is linked in the legend of the 'King and the Jade Maiden', and together they form the most common scene on Wuyi Mountain postcards. The best way to view it is to ride a bamboo raft on the Nine-Bend Stream past the Second Bend and look up. You can also take photos of its reflection from the Jingtai (Mirror Platform) by the stream. Yunu Peak itself cannot be climbed. The site is included in the Wuyi Mountain scenic area ticket, so no separate ticket is needed.
