    At night, the entire canyon lights up, outlining the buildings and reflecting them in the stream, creating a dreamlike fairyland scene against the backdrop of the starry sky. Especially during the "Blue Hour" half an hour after sunset, the sky turns a deep blue, paired with warm yellow lights, making for excellent photo opportunities. However, there are many stone paths and steps within the scenic area, making it unsuitable for long skirts or high heels, and inconvenient for strollers. Some viewing platforms also lack seating, requiring long periods of standing and waiting. Additionally, the area is somewhat commercialized; for example, a grilled sausage costs 10 yuan, which I personally found a bit expensive!

    It's worth visiting, but there's still a lot of development going on in the surrounding area. There are many guesthouses in the scenic area, but the environment is a bit like a development zone, all crowded and chaotic. The scenic area itself is still worth a visit; the scenery is quite beautiful, and there are many old buildings. Having a guided tour is the best option. There's a place in the scenic area that sells delicious steamed buns with chili oil; at 10 yuan a serving, it's very reasonably priced.

    The location is excellent, right around the Waishuangxi Cableway. The customer service was also very helpful, providing directions to the hotel in the evening. The hotel has convenient bathroom facilities, and the starry nights are romantic. It's also quite close to major attractions. Highly recommended!

    Definitely worth a visit! During the day, you can enter the park and play games with the NPCs to earn silver coins to exchange for small gifts and participate in auctions. Games include drumming, rock-paper-scissors, "3, 2, 1, look this way," and push-ups, etc. At night, the lights are incredibly photogenic. Be sure to check the show times and durations to avoid running back and forth. The fire-pot and water-based fire-pot shows, iron flower displays, and drone shows are fantastic; arrive early to secure a good spot. If you're staying at a hotel within the scenic area, be sure to inquire about the check-out time. I didn't stay at a hotel within the scenic area, but I heard that check-out is at 7 AM the next morning!

    I visited 7 out of 11 attractions in three days, which was worthwhile. The ancient buildings in Jiangwan, the chrysanthemums in Xiaoqi, the streams and bridges in Likeng, the morning mist and red maples in Shicheng, and the ancient camphor trees in Yantian were particularly impressive. I'll visit the remaining ones in spring to see the rapeseed flowers.

    Lingshan in Jiangxi is a place that purifies the soul. When you are surrounded by this landscape, you feel as if you are cut off from the hustle and bustle of the world, leaving only inner peace and tranquility.

    Overall: Only the buildings along the river were open, but they were mostly restaurants or shops, not very large. The river was low at this time, and the rest of the alleys took an hour to walk through. There wasn't much to see. Tickets and Scenic Area Bus: Tickets are a bit overpriced. The 5 RMB bus at the entrance is only for a one-way trip, so walking allows for more scenic views. Food: There are many residents. The braised koi fish was delicious and tender, with a nice wok aroma. The mushy tofu was average, and the rice was unpalatable. Transportation: For the wealthy, a taxi from the high-speed rail station costs 20-40. Working people can take Wuyuan Line 1, Line 2, or Line 502 to the old bus station for 1 RMB. Alternatively, take the Huangling Tourist Bus for 6 RMB and walk 10 minutes to the main entrance.

    Guifeng's most prominent feature lies in its unique landform, representing a mature Danxia landform eroded by rainwater, characterized by the saying "every mountain resembles a tortoise, every rock resembles a tortoise." Furthermore, it boasts a rich variety of attractions, with natural and cultural landscapes blending perfectly. There are multiple ways to enjoy the area, transportation is convenient, there are relatively few tourists, and the overall experience is excellent!

    My first visit to Poyang Lake was absolutely breathtaking! The experience of taking a sightseeing bus to the pier and then a cruise on the lake was simply amazing. The scenery of Poyang Lake, with its shimmering waters and verdant mountains, exudes the beauty of nature and is truly unforgettable. The birds in the migratory bird park are like lively little elves, making it feel like a magical island. The vastness of the grasslands makes you forget your worries. Not visiting Wunian Island to feel the breeze would be a wasted trip! 😀
