Wuyi Mountain in China is a world cultural and natural heritage site, which has nurtured Wuyi culture, including world heritage culture, Zhuzi culture, Minyue culture, tea culture and red culture. Kindergarten regional activities are a kind of autonomous exploration activities for preschool children. The integration of Wuyi culture and regional activities is an important way to enhance children's sense of identity with Wuyi culture. This study took Wuyi Kindergarten A as an example, and used interview method, observation method and case analysis method to investigate the current situation of the integration of Wuyi culture and kindergarten regional activities. Through the investigation, the researchers found that the teachers' cognition level of Wuyi culture is uneven, the selected cultural types and application areas are relatively single, the materials in regional activities are unreasonable, the organization and implementation of regional activities are improper, and the integration of educational resources from all parties is insufficient. Then, the reasons for the current situation were analyzed, and the solution strategies such as teachers should clarify their own roles, teachers should improve their professional abilities, the kindergarten should carry out teacher training activities, and the forces of all parties should be coordinated and integrated were proposed.
