The Jiangnan Songcheng Historical and Cultural Tourism Area is a place you can just walk in without making reservations. Hahahahaha, I actually made one!
It's a great nighttime getaway for families or couples. The scenery and snacks are great, and it's a popular spot for check-ins and period costume photos. It's quite picturesque and always turns heads.
Convenient transportation
Ganzhou boasts a wealth of attractions, with the exception of Tongtianyan. Even if you're not considering visiting Tongtianyan, two days and one night are plenty of time for a visit. Tongtianyan, known as the "First Grotto of Jiangnan," is dominated by the Yadan landforms and niches containing deities. The area boasts over 300 statues of various sizes. However, the area is underdeveloped and commercialized, and the area is large, with poorly marked signs. The Tongtian River also divides the area, so be sure to read the map carefully to avoid unnecessary detours. Please allow at least half a day for your visit. Day 1: Arrive in Ganzhou at noon➡️Fushougou Museum➡️Wei Family Courtyard➡️Zaoer Lane➡️Ancient Floating Bridge➡️Song Dynasty City That Never Sleeps (all attractions are close together, walk or use a shared electric scooter).
Day 2: Tongtianyan➡️Jiang Ching-kuo's Former Residence➡️Yugutai (suggested evening or night)➡️Dinner at Song Dynasty City That Never Sleeps
Day 3: Bell Tower➡️Bajingtai➡️Ancient City Wall City Walk➡️Return in the evening
Most attractions are free

We arrived at 5pm. I don't know if it was because of the heat, but we didn't encounter any NPCs. It felt like there was no atmosphere. Many shops were closed, and the sound system on the railway guerrilla was broken, so there was no sound during the ride! However, the fireworks show at the end was really impressive. I highly recommend it.
The ticket price is very reasonable! The tour content is very rich! I especially like the waiting areas in each pavilion, which are equipped with benches and air conditioning, making the waiting time so much easier! The kids played from 10 am to almost 8 pm before they were reluctant to go home! All the fees in the park are very reasonable and not expensive! Great! It's worth a visit!

The 4A scenic spot is quite powerful. It costs 20 yuan to take a taxi from the old town, which is more than ten kilometers away. It is quite convenient. You can also take a taxi back or take a bus. It combines culture and fitness. Compared with the places I have been to, the natural scenery is better than it and the cultural depth is not as good as it. The tickets are not as cheap as it for places with deeper cultural heritage. The cultural content of the stone carvings must be as high as three stories. In short, if you have time, I recommend you to take a walk. If you don’t have time, don’t force yourself to come.
I think it's worth going to. The scenery is beautiful. Although it's 38 degrees high, you can feel cool here. There are not many tourists. We went to the Thousand Buddha Caves and back again. We didn't take the loop. We visited the main attractions. The road signs are a bit blurred. You have to look carefully. The cost performance is very high and it is worth coming.

Qili Ancient Town is located in Zhanggong District, Ganzhou City. It has a history of more than 1,200 years. It is the "first town of the thousand-mile Ganjiang River". It has been renovated and now has a very good environment. It has a profound cultural heritage. Relying on the four cultural essences of "porcelain kiln, drum transportation, temple fair, and Hakka", it has Qili Kiln, one of the four major kilns in Jiangnan during the Song Dynasty, and many historical sites such as 18 ancient docks, Xianniang Temple, and Zhuangyuan Temple. The 400-meter "Cross Street" in the ancient town reproduces the old market style, and the traditional folk festivals are rich and colorful. At present, there are live programs every moment from 4:30 pm to 21:00 pm. It is recommended to move with the program group after entering the park to see the different styles of different periods, and the interpretation of characters and scenes is very good.
The environment of the ancient town is pretty good, with quite local characteristics. It is suitable for a family to go out, and also suitable for young couples to play together. There are many activities in it, with very local cultural characteristics. The last iron flower show is really beautiful, recommended!

Sanbai Mountain, located in Anyuan County, Jiangxi Province, is the collective name for the peaks in the southeastern part of the county. It lies at the junction of Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian provinces, with its main peak at an elevation of 1,169 meters. Sanbai Mountain is a protected area for the Dongjiang River's water source, boasting lush green mountains and clear waters, beautiful scenery, and lush forests. Being surrounded by this area is like stepping into a natural oxygen bar. After taking the cable car up the mountain, a circular hike offers stunning views of steep cliffs, deep ravines, bizarre peaks and rocks, flowing springs and waterfalls, and the thrill of the glass plank road.
Recommended Route:
Sanbai Mountain Visitor Center - Cable Car - Fu'aotang - Siyuan Baoding - Glass Skybridge - Glass Diving Platform - Manyun Plank Road - Dongjiang First Waterfall - Siyuan Pavilion - Dripping Guanyin - Cable Car - Sanbai Mountain Visitor Center. (Duration: 2-3 hours)
The scenery is good, the oxygen content is above the standard, the clouds are beautiful, there are few people and the scenery is beautiful, the supporting facilities are a little poor, and the sanitation conditions of some of the less crowded routes are not very good. Overall it is good and worth visiting

South Wudang Mountain is located in Wudang Town, Longnan City, at the southernmost tip of Jiangxi Province, at the border between Jiangxi and Guangdong. Known as the "Southern Gate of Jiangxi," the scenic area borders Heping County, Guangdong Province to the east, Lianping County, Guangdong Province to the south, and the subtropical primeval forests of the Jiulian Mountains to the west. It stretches north from Wudang Town, Longnan, with a total planned area of 13.5 square kilometers. National Highway 105 runs through the area, providing convenient transportation. It is 44 kilometers from Longnan City and the counties of Lianping and Heping in Guangdong Province.
Historical Background
South Wudang Mountain was formed approximately 200 million years ago during the Paleozoic era and is a typical Danxia landform. Its name derives from the couplet "Military generals and civil officials all dismounted, and on that day the emperor stopped to report to him." Later generations combined the first two characters of the couplet to create "Wudang." The Wudang Temple was first built during the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty and renovated during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty. Inscriptions and other cultural relics remain. Historically, it served as a Buddhist monastery in southern Jiangxi and northern Guangdong, boasting over 600 monks at its peak.
Main Attractions
Natural Landscapes:
Ninety-Nine Peaks: These include the "Twin Elephants Soaring in the Sky" and the "Dinghai Magic Needle," stretching for ten miles along National Highway 105, forming a "Ten-Mile Art Gallery."
Iron Chain Ladder: A steep mountain climbing path documented in Qing Dynasty literature, now preserved in its original form for adventurous travelers.
Sky Walkway: A 900-meter-long, mountain-circling path carved along the rock face of General Peak, offering panoramic views.
Cultural Attractions:
Wudang Temple: A Ming Dynasty Buddhist structure with reconstructed stele inscriptions.
Cliff Gate of Heaven: A natural pass inscribed with a couplet by Wang Yangming.
Experiences: Modern attractions include a glass plank road and cliff swings.
Great value, the attraction is very clean, the scenery is beautiful, and when you reach the top of the mountain, the view is very wide. There is a group of cats in the store on one of the mountains that are not afraid of people. I started climbing the mountain at 12 o'clock, and I returned to the visitor center at about 4:30 in the afternoon. Looking back at the plank road on the mountain, I admired how many hills I had walked, and also admired the people who built the plank road.

It's like a big park when you walk in, introducing Hakka culture. The ticket price is reasonable during the event. There are not many people in the 4A scenic spot on weekdays. The original price feels high. It's good to walk around and take pictures. The structure of the enclosure is very unique. I have never seen it in my life.
The green bean ice cream at the entrance is 2 yuan, which is quite reasonable for a tourist attraction. I happened to visit during off-peak hours. Although the weather in June is a bit hot, the scenery is still very good and worth a visit. It's just that if you want to take a taxi, it's better to make an appointment. If you call a taxi directly, it's hard to get a response.

Overall, it's acceptable. We are a couple and feel that this place is more suitable for children. Compared with the ocean parks and aquariums I have visited before, the scale is really small. But the overall fun is OK.
Five-star praise, it is more affordable to buy tickets on Ctrip, and it is also very convenient. The children had a lot of fun in the Ocean World. The three major performances in the Ocean World were also great. It would be a bit hot in the summer, and there were a lot of people in the holidays.

The revolutionary ancestors not only made great contributions to the establishment of the Republic, but also always cared about the life of ordinary old people, and Chairman Mao led the cadres and masses at that time in the sandbar dam to dig the red well for the local old people is a representative of it.
The Red Capital, the cradle of the Republic, the People's Republic came from here, and the starting point of the Long March
The story of the eight sons joining the army is very touching
[Scenery] Full of green, high humidity, dense vegetation, mainly rice and lotus seeds, lotus flowers are very nourishing in summer
Delicious food includes beef soup, local specialties, Xingguo fish shreds, dried sweet potatoes, navel orange paste, southern sour jujube cake, etc.

It's a good place with mountains and water, rich green plants, and beautiful scenery. It was raining in summer when I went there, and it was misty. If it was autumn, the colors would be more beautiful. I walked and talked with my husband and friends, and I was happy and comfortable. I met the legendary crystal flower. I will come to Jiangxi again.
Shangbao Terraces, a world irrigation engineering heritage, the most beautiful terraces, and a rural hometown. The scenery is nice, there are many activities suitable for children to play, and there are sightseeing buses. You can take a sightseeing bus to visit, which is not tiring at all, very good.
