We only hiked half way to the pavilion and saw a lady in trouble. She had fainted and needed help and was brought back down after her companions called for help. The rangers had to carry her down in stretchers. We knew there was no way we could get to the top and then back down so we turned around after checking out the beautiful scenery at the pavilion. Absolutely breathtaking views all around.

The 530m Great King Peak is a 2 hour hike along bamboo groves and steep steps cut into rock walls. The trail can be slippery and wet and suitable shoes are advisable. Once at the top views are definitely rewarding. Breathtaking views of beautiful vistas of the river and the resort area can be enjoyed from up here. Worth the climb but only attempt if you are relatively fit.

Amongst Wu Yi Shan's Thirty-Six Peaks (武夷三十六峰), there is Da Wang Feng (大王峰), literally "Great King Peak". While it's just one of many mountains you have the opportunity to explore in the vicinity, the view from the peak is stunning; imagine a whole town spread out below you, surrounded by green hills ......

Unfortunately, the hike up isn't for everyone, especially for those with asthma or acrophobia; while there are cement stairs to climb, they can get quite steep. One particular section stands out; to arrive at the peak of Da Wang Feng, there is a mountain crack one has to traverse vertically. It's dark, it's narrow (to the point where you may have to ascend the steps facing sideways) ...... basically, you don't want to miss your footing.

If you decide to take on the challenge of conquering Da Wang Feng though, expect to be treated to spectacular views and scenic mountain panoramas. Just take care not to be too enchanted by it all, until the sun sets, night falls, and you find yourself all alone on a slightly dangerous mountain trail ......

It can prove quite tricky to get to Da Wang Feng, depending on which entrance you decide to make your way towards. Whichever method you choose to use to access this place, just bear in mind that you're better off exploring Da Wang Feng when the sun's still shining.

We started at a late time of 5pm to Dawang Peak. It is steep climbing most of the time for about 45mins. Somewhere around 400m from the peak, there is a fork and we took the left one which was slightly shorter. How well rewarded we were! At that timing no one else was on the track and the cliff was splendid. The highlight was a narrow crack that was shoulder width apart. The Chinese ingeniously built cement slab steps but guess how they overcome the part that was to upturn? They did a cantilever HALF slab for about 3 steps. Wow! You literally near to lean on your hands and take one step at a time. It is so hard to describe, but my photo with my hiking stick shows how narrow the step is. No worries, cos that part last only for about 30 steps. After that, you can loop your way down from the other path. We reached the base at about 6:10pm and it was getting dark. The steps are well indicated so no chance that you would get lost. It is all but a hike of 1300m. Enjoy!

I was advised by hotel staff against climbing the peak. It was Dec, low peak and winter season, hence without any ranger or staff around. Actually I went to the base of the mountain, which can be reached inside Wuyishan Palace. As it looked deserted, I decided not to take the risk and climb myself. If you are keen to do the 2 hours hike to the peak, I suggest to visit on other months.

Da wang Feng got its name from how it looks like. Look from far away, it looks like a big king's hat .
Hiking to the top of the mountain takes around 2 hours. On top of the mountain, you can see the beautiful view of Wuyi Mountains. It worth for the hike.
