Most of the peaks and hills here are made up of red sandstone which is very steep but flat atop. The Ninebend River, 60 km in length, meanders in a deep gorge among the hills. Peaking at 2100 m, Mount Wuyi has the highest point of Fujian. Mount Wuyi is the largest and most representative example of Chinese subtropical forests and South Chinese rainforests' biodiversity. Its ecology has survived from before the Ice Age around 3 million years ago. Besides, as the area is relatively pollution-free, the Chinese government set up its first air quality monitoring station in the area on the 31 January 2005. Mount Wuyi was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Minyue. In the 7th century, the Wuyi Palace was built for emperors to conduct sacrificial activities, a site that tourists can still visit today. The mountain was an important center of Taoism and in the 10th century, it was listed as one of the top 9 Taoist Temples. The area is the cradle of Neo-Confucianism, a current that became very influential since the 11th century.
