Wuyuan (simplified Chinese: 婺源县; traditional Chinese: 婺源縣; pinyin: Wùyuán Xiàn) is a county in northeastern Jiangxi province, People's Republic of China, bordering the provinces of Zhejiang to the east and Anhui to the north. It is under the jurisdiction of the prefecture-level city of Shangrao.
Wuyuan, on the boundary of three provinces in Jiangxi's northeastern corner, has a landscape dotted with strange caves, deep secluded rocks and numerous historic sites. Wuyuan County is home to some of the best-preserved ancient architectures in China.[citation needed] Wuyuan's structures were built in 740 during the Tang Dynasty. Its remoteness and inconvenient transportation protect its villages from too many visitors.
It was a county under Huizhou, Anhui province until 1989.
