Over the course of four days, I immersed myself in the rich natural environment, discovering a wide variety of insects, amphibians, and other wildlife. This experience not only deepened my appreciation for biodiversity but also broadened my understanding of how ecological conservation is closely tied to cultural practices, such as the region\u2019s renowned tea culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758097780677-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758097780677-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758097780677-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758097780677-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758097780677-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758097780677-1140x1710.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758097780677-552x828.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758097780677.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption>Enjoying the company of tiny creatures in nature<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jiangxi Wuyishan National Park is part of the larger Wuyishan region, which straddles the border between Jiangxi and Fujian provinces.

As part of the Cathaysian fold system (\u83ef\u590f\u8936\u76ba\u7e6b), the region has undergone intense volcanic activity in the past, earning it the title of \u201cthe largest fault in southeastern China.\u201d These geological features not only create stunning landscapes but also influence soil composition, hydrology, and vegetation patterns\u2014key factors in resource management and ecological planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the activity, we visited the Exhibition Hall of Wuyishan National Park, participated in a night walk to observe nocturnal species, explored river traces that revealed geomorphological processes, and engaged with the local tea culture. These diverse experiences allowed me to connect the dots between physical geography, ecological systems, and human livelihoods. For example, the quality of tea leaves is directly influenced by the microclimate and soil conditions shaped by the park\u2019s unique terrain and forest cover. This illustrates how sustainable resource management and environmental conservation are essential not only for protecting biodiversity but also for supporting local economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758114940242-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758114940242-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758114940242-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758114940242-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758114940242-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758114940242-1140x1710.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758114940242-552x828.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/mmexport1758114940242.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption>Experiencing local tea culture \u2014 where pristine forest ecosystems and unique microclimates nurture high-quality tea, reflecting the harmony between nature and tradition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, coming from Hong Kong, where there are no National Parks but Country Parks, this trip was eye-opening.
