#springwander In the deep mountains, amidst the sea of flowers, lies the ancient Yuzhang prefecture from 1000 years ago! A few days ago, I braved the rain and mistakenly entered an enchanted mountain, staying in Gexian Village at the foot of Gexian Mountain. I once deemed the plum blossoms of West Lake as the ultimate beauty on earth, But I never imagined the plum blossom season amidst the misty rain of Jiangnan. I overlooked Hongdu's new prefecture and Yuzhang's ancient city. Below the mountain, thousands of households glow with lights, sparse shadows crisscross, and prosperity blooms in full. In the forest, the empty mountains echo, flowing clouds unfurl, as if there might be immortals.. 🌸Blossoming Period: Late February, currently in full bloom, estimated to last until early March. 📅Time: Photos taken on February 21-22 during overcast and rainy weather, very serene, recommended to stay at least one day and one night. #familytrip #localguides #familytrip 🕰️Business Hours:#familytrip

Plan a trip to Shangrao and experience a real-life fantasy world! While Suzhou and Hangzhou are often considered the epitome of Jiangnan, the scenic beauty of Shangrao in Jiangxi is equally breathtaking. A 4-day, 3-night trip here is truly worthwhile. **4-Day, 3-Night Shangrao Itinerary** - **Day 1:** Arrive at Wuyuan – Visit Wunvzhou – Overnight in Wunvzhou - **Day 2:** Explore Wunvzhou – Head to Huangling – Stay overnight in Huangling - **Day 3:** From Huangling to Shangrao Station – Visit Wangxiangu – Overnight in Wangxiangu - **Day 4:** Explore Wangxiangu – Visit Gexiancun – Return home **Attractions Overview:** - **Wangxiangu:** Known for its cliffs and waterscapes, the nighttime views under the lights are stunning. - **Gexiancun:** A village surrounded by mountains, where you can boat on the lake with koi fish during the day and enjoy lanterns and mist at night, creating a time-traveling experience. - **Huangling:** With its misty Flower Creek Water Street and magical forest, it feels like a Miyazaki world, featuring flying fish, talking trees, and floating castles. - **Wunvzhou:** The night view here is spectacular, especially the iron flower and fireworks show! #ShangraoTravel #JiangxiTourism #WuyuanAdventure

After driving for an hour from Shangrao Sanqingshan to Wangxiangu, here are some honest and practical suggestions. Before you go, make sure to do your research. Here are some personal insights: 1. Which one to visit? Nearby Wunvzhou, Gexiancun, and Wangxiangu are all man-made attractions, mainly featuring night lights with different styles. Wunvzhou has more performances, Gexiancun seems to have dragon dances, and Wangxiangu has beautiful lighting. Choose based on your preference; I personally like Wangxiangu's style. 2. Is it worth visiting? For me, it was worth it. I was attracted by the architectural layout, and the real scene is not much different from the online photos. It's worth it if you can take good photos. There are many tour groups, so choose to go during the off-season to enhance your experience. 3. Visiting time: Once you exit with a ticket, you can't re-enter. You can enter around 3 PM; the core area is a bit far from the entrance. Arrive at the core area around 5 PM to see the sunset and night view. The blue hour (half an hour after sunset) is particularly beautiful! The night view is also stunning! 4. What's inside? Honestly, there's not much to do. It's mainly an ancient-style snack street and cultural shops, mainly for photography. We took photos until 9 PM before returning to the homestay. The performances are not very impressive. There's a glass walkway, but compared to Sanqingshan's walkway, it's not much. Rafting is closed in autumn and winter. 5. Are there many mosquitoes and insects? In autumn and winter, there aren't many mosquitoes and insects, but bring mosquito repellent just in case. There are many trees and water, so there will definitely be some insects. 6. Is it tiring? The paths inside are relatively flat, so it's not strenuous to walk. 7. How are the prices inside? Slightly more expensive than outside, but acceptable. A Shangrao chicken leg is 15 yuan, a grilled squid is 10 yuan, and a bowl of shrimp vermicelli is 20 yuan. You can bring some snacks if you want. 8. Photography spots: The two best spots for photos are Baige Bridge and Baihe Cliff. Other places also offer good photo opportunities. The blue hour (half an hour after sunset) is beautiful for photos! If you have a drone, bring it! Some popular angles can only be captured by drones! 9. Renting Hanfu: I researched many Hanfu stores before going. There are many pitfalls, like charging extra for photo negatives. It's better to rent and take photos yourself to avoid these issues. I didn't find one I liked. 10. Accommodation: Whether to stay in the scenic area depends on your budget. If you have a high budget, you can stay in a homestay inside the scenic area, which is convenient for seeing the sunrise the next day. If your budget is low, you can stay in a homestay outside the scenic area, which is also close. Personally, after seeing the night view, there's no regret. Scenic spot: Wangxiangu Location: Wangxian Township, Guangxin District, Shangrao City Ticket: 120 yuan/person Transportation: Convenient from Yushan South and Shangrao stations. #Wangxiangu #WangxianguTravelGuide #WangxianguInJiangxi

Shangrao, a city blessed by nature. Here, the Wuyi Mountains stretch endlessly, the Xin River meanders gracefully, the mist of Mount Sanqingshan rises ethereally, and the rapeseed flowers of Wuyuan blanket the fields in gold. Known as the "Southern Gateway of Jiangxi" and home to "China's Most Beautiful Countryside," this land has inspired poets like Zhu Xi and Xin Qiji. Stepping into Shangrao is like unrolling an ancient landscape painting—where mountains gather like eyebrows, rivers flow like sparkling eyes, and the scattered ancient villages and old streets whisper the timeless charm of Jiangnan through their unpretentious, lively atmosphere. --- **I. Enchanted Landscapes: Must-Visit Gems of Shangrao** **1. Mount Sanqingshan: A Taoist Wonderland in the Clouds** "Peerless blessed land under heaven, the foremost celestial peak of Jiangnan"—Mount Sanqingshan is famed for its jagged peaks, sea of clouds, ancient pines, and Taoist temples. At dawn, when sunlight pierces the clouds, illuminating the silhouettes of "Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain" and "Oriental Goddess," the entire mountain resembles a flowing ink painting. Take the Jinsha Cableway up the mountain, stroll along the West Coast Plank Walkway, and marvel at the bizarre rock formations and ever-shifting clouds. After rain, you might even encounter the "Sanqingshan Illusion," as if stepping into a celestial realm. **2. Wuyuan: China’s Most Beautiful Rural Canvas** In spring, Wuyuan transforms into a golden sea of rapeseed flowers. The terraced fields of Jiangling, the "sun-drying autumn" scenes of Huangling, and the quaint bridges and streams of Likeng—each seems plucked from an ancient painting. Come autumn, Huangling stages its "sun-drying autumn" spectacle: fiery red peppers and golden corn against the backdrop of black-and-white Huizhou architecture, composing the most vibrant pastoral poem. Stay overnight in Sixi Yan Village or Xiaoqi to witness the morning mist curling from kitchen chimneys. **3. Guifeng: Nature’s Sculpture Museum of Danxia Wonders** Named for its turtle-shaped rocks, Guifeng is a key part of the "China Danxia" World Natural Heritage. Its surreal formations, like "Old Man Peak" and "Golden Bell Peak," sculpted by millennia of weathering, earn it the title "Natural Sculpture Museum." A boat ride on Qingshui Lake offers breathtaking views of crimson cliffs reflected in emerald waters. **4. Yan Mountain Hekou Ancient Town: The First Stop on the Ancient Tea Road** During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Hekou Ancient Town was the starting point of the "Ancient Tea Road," a bustling hub known as the "Wharf of Eight Provinces." Today, its cobblestone streets are lined with centuries-old Huizhou mansions, where faded signs of herbal shops, tea houses, and banks still linger. Sip a cup of Hehong tea at the historic "Jinlihe Tea House," and you might almost hear the jingling of caravan bells from the past. **5. Mount Lingshan: A Sacred Realm of Buddhism and Taoism** Renowned for its "three marvels"—fantastic rocks, sea of clouds, and Buddha’s halo—Mount Lingshan’s "Sky Mirror" at its summit reflects the heavens like a fairyland. The mid-mountain Shiren Temple, dedicated to the folk deity "Stone Man," has drawn pilgrims for millennia. For the adventurous, the "Seventy-Two Bends" hiking trail offers ever-changing vistas at every step. --- **II. Flavors of Shangrao: Unmissable Local Delicacies** **1. Wuyuan Red Carp in Lotus Wrap: A Lucky Rural Delight** A festive must-eat in Wuyuan, the red carp’s pouch-like shape symbolizes prosperity. Steamed with rice wine and chili, its tender, sweet-spicy flesh shines. Try the traditional steamed fish at "Guangming Restaurant," paired with local glutinous rice wine. **2. Yanshan Hot Rice Noodles: A Breakfast with Attitude** Made from late-season rice, these silky, chewy noodles swim in a rich bone broth, topped with secret-recipe chili sauce, pickles, and shredded pork—a spicy, tangy, umami bomb. "Laojiang Hot Noodles" in the old street draws daily queues, a breakfast ritual for locals. **3. Yiyang Rice Cake: A Millennia-Old Staple** Famous for its "three-steams, two-hundred-pounds" technique, Yiyang rice cakes are springy and fragrant. Try them stir-fried with pork—the cakes soak up the savory juices perfectly. At "Guifeng Rice Cake Workshop," you can even witness the traditional pounding process. **4. Shangrao Fried Chicken Legs: A Train Station Legend** "Yang’s Fried Chicken Legs" near Shangrao Station is a nostalgic bite for generations of travelers. Marinated, deep-fried, and dusted with chili powder, they’re crispy outside, juicy inside. Now vacuum-packed, they make a fiery souvenir. **5. Qingming Guo: A Springtime Ritual** Around Qingming Festival, Shangrao locals wrap wild mugwort-infused dough around fillings like bamboo shoots, tofu, and cured pork, steaming them into jade-green dumplings. Wuyuan’s sweet "steamed cakes" offer a milder, herbal version. --- **III. Traveler’s Guide** - **Best Time to Visit**: - March–April (Wuyuan rapeseed flowers, Mount Lingshan azaleas) - October–November (Huangling’s sun-drying autumn, Mount Sanqingshan’s red leaves) - **Unique Experiences**: - Nighttime chats at Wuyuan homestays, tea culture workshops in Hekou Ancient Town - Stargazing at Mount Sanqingshan, sketching at Guifeng - **Souvenir Picks**: - Wuyuan imperial chrysanthemum tea, Hehong tea - Yiyang rice cakes, Poyang Lake silver fish --- Shangrao’s beauty lies not just in its landscapes but also in its everyday alleys.

At 7 a.m., the Huangling Cable Car Station is packed with camera-toting tourists. A local granny tugs me into an alley: "Come! I'll take you for oil-fried dough sticks wrapped in glutinous rice cakes—no tourists here!" Rounding a corner draped with drying chili peppers, sizzling oil welcomes us. Crispy dough sticks stuffed with chewy mochi land in my palm as sesame sugar snows onto the cobblestones. Shangrao feels like the earthen soup pot simmering on granny's stove: mountain mist is the steaming broth, chili fragrance the bubbling base, slow-cooking a city alive with warmth. 🌞【Day 1: Cave Adventure • Fish Feast • Dreaming on Drying Terraces】 ⛰ Morning A boatman kicks the raft into the underground river: "Duck and tuck! Don’t blame me for bumps!" Phone lights vanish like snuffed matches, leaving only the scrape of raft against rock. Then—a turn reveals a crack in the cave ceiling, light cascading like a waterfall as droplets plink into jade-green pools. "Dragon King blowing bubbles," the boatman grins. 💡 Local tip: Cave stays 18°C—tee + light jacket ideal | Waterproof phone case a must for sneaky drips. 🐟 Afternoon At "Old Liao’s Fish Villa" in Shitang Town, a grass carp thrashes in a wooden tub. The owner nets it lightning-fast: "3.2 jin—freshly killed!" Milky fish soup, red-pepper-flecked, arrives; the flesh flakes like snow at a chopstick’s touch. Wild celery crunches in broth, until a purring orange cat plops its head on my shoe. 🚶 Hidden gem: 10-min walk to Ming-Qing Old Street—cobblestones, horse-head walls, and a glittering sugar-painting stall. 🌌 Night The cable car sways into Huangling at dusk, the ancient village a lantern clinging to cliffs. "Drying Harvest Homestay’s" wooden window opens to bamboo trays spilling chili peppers from eaves into clouds. The host hands me a baked sweet potato: "Warm your hands—mountain winds bite city folks’ ankles!" 🛏️ Money hack: Ask for the drying terrace access code—rooftop views all night. ☁️【Day 2: Cloud Sea Breakfast • Cliffside Snacks • Stream Frolics】 🌅 Dawn • Chasing Light on Sanqing Mountain By 5:30, Jinsha Cable Car queues snake. As the cabin pierces clouds, gasps erupt: golden-edged waves roll, the "Python Peak" gilded by dawn. A shirtless porter hefts four water crates: "Make way!" His pole’s creak echoes. ⏰ Hard-won tip: Arrive by 6 a.m. = skip 2-hour lines | Foldable stool beats ice-cold stone benches. 🫓 Morning • Cloud-High Flatbreads At Goddess Peak’s corner, a vendor flips pies on charcoal: "Pork and pickled greens—5 yuan, fills you up!" Crisp shells burst with steam, sesame seeds tumbling into clouds below. 💦 Afternoon • Stream Chill Downhill, we wade into Shitang’s wild creek. Toes numb in icy water, we flip rocks for blue crabs—until moss betrays us with a splash! Jeans turn into "iced seaweed." Sunbathing on pebbles, a woodpecker drums accompaniment. 🛶【Day 3: Bamboo Raft Drifts • Menthol Shock • Glowing Treasures】 🚤 Morning • Slow Drift on Yanhe River 80 yuan rents a fisherman’s old raft. The pole dips, gliding us into ancient camphor woods. Gnarled roots wear moss beards; herons play statues. Duck under Ming bridges—your scalp brushes damp stone bellies. 💬 Bargaining tip: "Steady raft, extra cash for your tea cakes." 🍬 Noon • Old Street’s Brain-Freeze Candy A bubbling sugar pot yields "menthol crisps—wake-up call!" A nibble—cold needles pierce your skull, tears flow. Granny cackles: "Works better than coffee!" 🌇 Dusk • Treasure Hunt by River E-biking through golden reeds, sunset gilds the river. Chasing mud-splattered kids, we unearth a clam—its flesh glows blue like captured stars. 💌【Travel Hacks】 • 🍜 Noodle rules: Follow motorbikes to shabby shops. Yanshan noodles demand pork lard + chili sauce. Dunk fried dough sticks for 3 seconds—heaven. • 🛍 Shopping: Skip scenic-area tea. "Old Hu’s Teahouse" at Sanqing’s base offers tastings—200 yuan/jin mao feng with orchid notes. • 🧥 Layer up: Fleece + thin down. Peaks = fridge at dawn, grill at noon. • 📸 Camera "raincoat" (cling wrap!) saves lenses from cave drips and morning fog. As the train departs, chili-drying roofs flash by. A neighbor passes a leaf-wrapped qingming cake: "Try it!" Leeks, bamboo shoots, and mugwort explode on my tongue—suddenly, I see granny waving by her drying trays. Shangrao’s magic? All in these scalding, soggy, surprise-filled moments. 💫
