The Wuyi Mountain area is called the 'number one scenic wonder in Southeast China' and located fifteen kilometers south of Chong'an County in Fujian. The Wuyi Mountain is isolated from the outside world by streams and ravines. A legend says that in prehistoric time, there was an eight hundred-year-old man named Peng Zu who came to live in Chong'an, where the people suffered from terrible floods. Peng Zu had two sons, Wu and Yi, who offered to dredge the waterways and finally conquered the floods. To commemorate the Peng brothers, the mountain was named Wuyi Mountain, and a palace was built in their memory.

The river they dredged now called the Nine-Bend River (Jiuquxi) winds for several miles in the mountain. Today, tourists can travel down the river on bamboo raft excursions.
