In 1958, Suanping county became a part of Wuyi, increasing the importance of the city.

Subdistricts:[1] Towns: Townships: Wuyi's economy is mainly based on agriculture and tourism.

Industrial districts were limited in an attempt to keep the city focused on tourism.

However, some of the most important European manufacturers are located in the Huang Long industry area.

Wuyi was chosen by companies such as Littlecherry, Ocean Hardware & Plastics, Australian Sino Paper or Sedeenchina that prefer to produce in this small village over other nearby options such as Yiwu.
