Natural and cultural heritage
A local subsection of the Wuyishan Mountain range, which forms the entirety of the geological and political divide between the provinces of Fujian and Jiangxi, is a front-rank national park called simply Wuyi Mountains. Since 1999 the park zone has been recognised by UNESCO as part of the world's natural and cultural heritage.
Cultural sites within the zone include the original cultivation ground of the Da Hong Pao tea variety, and a villa retreat used by Zhu Xi, a Confucian revivalist scholar-official of the rump or Southern Song Empire.
South of the zone, just short of the City's border with Jianyang District, is a major archaeological excavation of the vanished State of Yue (Script error: No such module "Lang".).
Not far from Wuyishan, the Jiyufang Laolong kiln (Script error: No such module "Lang".), located in a village near the town of Shuiji, has been able to restart production of Jian ware using original clay.[2][3][4]

Population
As early as the ancient period, people began to settle in Wuyishan. By the Ming Dynasty, the total population of Wuyishan had reached nearly 40,000. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the population of Wuyishan grew rapidly until the late 1970s. However, by the early 1980s, the growth rate slowed due to the influence of the family planning policy.[5]
According to the 6th National Census in 2010, Wuyishan had a resident population of 233,557, with 51.94% male and 48.06% female. The population residing in urban areas was 122,851, accounting for 52.60%.
According to data from the 7th National Census, until November 1, 2020, Wuyishan had a resident population of 259,668.[6]
Ethnicity
Due to wars, the early dominant ethnic groups in Wuyishan gradually declined and were assimilated by the Han Chinese. Today, the ethnic composition of Wuyishan is predominantly Han, with only a very small minority population. According to the 6th National Census, there were 1,941 people from minority ethnic groups in Wuyishan, accounting for 0.83% of the total population.[5]
