Wuping County is located in the southwestern part of Longyan City, Fujian Province, China, at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong and Gan provinces, and is a former Central Soviet County and Hakka settlement. With a total area of 2,630 square kilometers and a population of about 400,000, the county is dominated by Hakka people and retains a strong Hakka culture and dialect. Wuping is rich in natural resources, with over 79% forest coverage and ecological scenic spots such as Liangnoshan National Nature Reserve and Zhongshan River National Wetland Park. The economy is based on agriculture, forestry and tourism, and is rich in specialties such as fairy grass, ganoderma lucidum and passion fruit. Wuping has a long history and is the "Hometown of Chinese Folk Culture and Art", with unique non-heritage cultures such as the Hakka round houses and the belief in the Dingguang Buddha. In recent years, Wuping has been actively developing a green economy and creating the brand of "Refreshing Wuping - Blessed Land of Health", with convenient transportation through high-speed railroad and highway networks.
Wuling is located in the northwestern part of China's Hunan Province and is the core area of Zhangjiajie City, known for the World Natural Heritage Wulingyuan Scenic Spot. This area, which covers the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and Suoxiyu Nature Reserve, is listed as a UNESCO World Geopark for its unique quartz sandstone peak forest landscape. Thousands of rocky peaks rise up, surrounded by clouds and mist like a fairyland, and were the inspiration for the Hallelujah Mountains in the movie Avatar.
Wuling is not only blessed with magnificent natural landscapes, but also rich in the cultures of the Tujia, Miao and other ethnic minorities. The local traditional villages, folklore performances and specialties (such as Tujia bacon) demonstrate the deep humanistic heritage. As an eco-tourism destination, it offers hiking, photography and adventure activities, attracting millions of tourists annually, and is one of China's first 5A-level tourist attractions.
