Getting there
Take a bus from Nanping 南平to Shunchang 顺昌and then travel on to Jiang Le 将乐. The reserve is mostly easily reached by taking the main road south-west towards Mingxi 明溪 and getting off at Bailian 白莲. After that it will probably be necessary to arrange motorbike transport to get into the hills.
