#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

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 Guide｜A Fairy-Tale Town Hidden in Jiangxi, Explore Mountains, Waters, and Ancient Villages in 3 Days✨ Speechless from the beauty of Shangrao in autumn! This treasure town tucked away in northeastern Jiangxi offers ancient villages quieter than Hongcun and sea of clouds that rival Huangshan. Here’s a well-organized guide to unlock this low-key romance~ 🌿Top 5 Must-Visit Attractions (with Best Visiting Times) 1. Wuyuan Huangling The ancient village hanging on the cliff is absolutely stunning! During the autumn harvest, every household’s rooftop is covered with pumpkins and chili peppers, creating a palette of orange, red, and green. Morning mist wraps around the horse-head walls, and walking on the bluestone paths in Hanfu instantly turns you into a scene from an ancient drama. ⚠️Tips: After taking the cable car up, visit the Autumn Scenery Viewing Platform first; the light is best before 10 AM. Watching the sunset at the terraced rice fields’ cloud cable in the evening is breathtaking~ 2. Sanqing Mountain Rated by "Chinese National Geography" as the “Most Beautiful Granite”! The Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain and Goddess Peak appear faintly in the mist. Walking on the skywalk feels like stepping on clouds. Recommended to stay on the mountain; climb Yujing Peak at 5 AM to watch the sunrise. When the sea of clouds surges, it feels like being in heaven. Remember to bring a jacket—the wind at the summit is strong~ 3. Poyang Lake Wetland Park The autumn at China’s largest freshwater lake is so healing! The sea of smartweed flowers forms a pink ocean, migratory birds fly south here for winter, and riding a boat through the reed marshes, you can see flocks of white cranes and swans skimming the water. Navigate to “Wujincha Pier,” rent a bike to ride along the lake—every snapshot looks like a Japanese-style fresh photo~ 4. Gexian Village A fairy-tale town with night views that will make you scream! When the lantern corridor lights up, it feels like stepping into "Spirited Away." There’s a light show at 8 PM, and the water curtain movie combined with ancient architecture is super impressive. Stay a night at Gexian Village Hotel, watch Taoists practicing Tai Chi at the Tai Chi Square in the morning, sip some Gexian tea, and fully immerse yourself in the experience~ 5. Likeng Ancient Village A more pristine ancient village with fewer tourists than Huangling! A stream runs through the village, flanked by old houses with white walls and black tiles. Villagers wash vegetables and clothes by the stream, full of everyday life charm. The century-old camphor tree at the village entrance is perfect for photos. Sitting on the stone bench under the tree, listening to elders tell stories of the ancient village, time slows down~ 🍜 Shangrao Food You Can’t Miss - Steamed Dishes: Must-try steamed pork and steamed fish wrapped in glutinous rice, soft and fragrant, especially delicious with chili sauce. Recommended old-brand restaurants in Likeng. - Dengzhan Guo: The soul of Shangrao breakfast! The rice batter skin looks like little lanterns, filled with shredded radish and dried shrimp, pan-fried crispy outside and tender inside. Street stalls sell 3 for 5 yuan. - Steamed Rice Cake: Rice cakes steamed in wooden buckets, topped with shiitake mushrooms and minced meat, sprinkled with chili powder. Freshly steamed, the aroma fills the street. - Jiuzao Fish: A specialty of Poyang Lake! Fish dried and marinated in glutinous rice wine lees, steamed to bring out a strong wine aroma.
