Rafting the Jiuqu River offers a magnificent view of the green mountains and dramatic rocks in Wuyishan, Fujian province. PENG SHAN'AN/HUANG HAI/QIU RUQUAN/FOR CHINA DAILY Chen Jia's face was awash with a grin for all of the roughly 90-minute raft journey down the Jiuqu River that gurgles through a valley beneath the Wuyi Mountains in late December. The air hung chilly in these highlands in Southeast China's Fujian province, but her smile remained warm, as she used a long bamboo pole to steer the raft while narrating to her five passengers. PENG SHAN'AN/HUANG HAI/QIU RUQUAN/FOR CHINA DAILY The ride has long remained a highlight of tours in the Wuyi Mountains. "We girls wore blue clothes with floral patterns, and foreigners especially enjoyed taking photos of — and with — us," Chen says.
