Should you visit Wuyishan by yourself or hire a tour guide?
Wuyishan self-guided tour is suitable for people who only go to the main scenic spots to check in; hiring a tour guide is suitable for groups who want to understand the roasting of rock tea varieties, or for groups with elderly people and children.
There are three local variables in Wuyi Mountain: bamboo rafting schedules, mountain weather, and tasting channels. If you try each one on your own, you may get into trouble.
