Nestled at the crossroads of Southeastern Coastal Hills and Jiangnan Hills, Wuyi Mountain National Park plays a crucial role in safeguarding and maintaining the ecological balance of the surrounding regions in East China. Officially established with the first batch of national parks in 2021, it covers 1280 square kilometers, spanning across Fujian (~78%) and Jiangxi (~22%) provinces with the iconic Huanggang Mountain as its highest peak at ~2160 meters.

Wuyi Mountain National Park possesses 210.70 square kilometers of undisturbed primary forest vegetation, preserving the largest, most complete, and most typical subtropical primary forest ecosystem at the same latitude globally. Five vertical vegetation zones include evergreen broad-leaved forest, mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest, coniferous forest, mid-mountain dwarf forest, and mid-mountain meadow. Its diverse vegetation types contribute to its status as a sanctuary for various endangered species. With a recorded 3400+ plant species, 760+ vertebrate species, and 17 national first-class protected wild species and 99 national second-class protected wild species, the park plays a pivotal role in preserving the unique flora and fauna of the region.

The park's diverse landscapes are a testament to its geological history, featuring spectacular Danxia landforms, cascading waterfalls, and the Wuyi Grand Canyon. This scenery, combined with its status as the birthplace of ancient tea culture, and its importance to religious and philosophical traditions (the mountain range has significance in Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism), contributes to its dual recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage site and member of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme.

Beyond its natural splendor, Wuyi Mountain National Park is home to thriving local communities engaged in tea production, the bamboo industry, sustainable forestry, and tourism. The implementation of these eco-friendly industries is an example of the "10% development and 90% protection" management model; 10% of the area is used for local economic development while 90% is protected, aiming to create a symbiotic relationship between conservation and development, and resulting in not just a greener and more pristine environment but also in the economic empowerment of local communities.

The impact on community prosperity is tangible, and park management continuously refines local communities' ecological compensation. By encouraging community participation in franchise operations and conservation management, the park has effectively boosted local incomes. Statistics reveal that residents in two administrative villages within the park enjoy significantly higher average incomes—5,000 and 7,000 yuan respectively— more than their counterparts in surrounding villages.
