2025 Anyuan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

Jiangxi has many mountains: Lushan, Wugong Mountain, Guifeng Mountain, and so on. However, Sanbai Mountain is less known. This time I came to the source of the Dongjiang River, the drinking water origin for residents of Guangdong and Hong Kong. ✅ Reasons for recommendation: ✨ A 5A-level scenic area with very few people; highly recommended for quiet mountain hiking during holidays. ✨ The hiking difficulty is very low, equipped with shuttle buses, coaches, and sightseeing boats, friendly for enthusiasts. ✨ You can see the mountain ranges as well as the Dongjiang First Waterfall, with a mix of beautiful scenery. The Sanbai Mountain you recommended in Jiangxi is indeed a "hidden gem" tucked away in the deep mountains. Combining search results and your experience, here are some additional details to help perfect this "off-the-beaten-path and stunning" recommendation: 1. Why is it "off-the-beaten-path yet stunning"? Sanbai Mountain is the source of the Dongjiang River (the drinking water source for Guangdong and Hong Kong residents), with a forest coverage rate of 98% and extremely high negative ion concentration, making it a natural oxygen bar. However, due to inconvenient transportation in the past, visitors mainly came from Jiangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Hong Kong, and Macau. After upgrades and renovations (closed for construction in 2017 with an investment of 1.19 billion yuan), infrastructure has greatly improved, but its popularity has not fully opened up. The number of holiday visitors is far less than popular mountains like Lushan and Wugong Mountain, making it suitable for hikers seeking tranquility. 2. Additional verification of your recommendation reasons: - ✅ About "5A-level": Currently, it is a national 4A-level scenic area (according to search results), but it is striving to become 5A (data from 2020). The scenic area standards are already aligned with 5A, such as newly built three visitor centers, circular hiking trails, and shuttle buses. - ✅ About "hiking difficulty": The scenic area offers various routes including electric cart roads, hanging plank roads, walking trails, and backpacker hiking trails. There is also a sightseeing boat route connecting Dongfeng Lake and other attractions, suitable for people with different physical conditions. For example, you can take a shuttle bus from Guoqiaolong Visitor Center to Fu'aotang, then walk the plank road to see the waterfall, all with ease. - ✅ About "mixed scenery": Besides the Dongjiang First Waterfall (which you mentioned), there is Fu'aotang (a high mountain lake), Jiuqu Creek (a canyon stream), Dongfeng Lake (a picturesque landscape), as well as a glass skybridge and glass plank road (new popular photo spots). The mountains, waterfalls, lakes, and forest landscapes are richly layered. 3. Practical tips for visiting Sanbai Mountain (from search results): - Transportation: Exit at the Sanbai Mountain interchange on the Ningding Expressway, 10 minutes to the scenic area; shuttle buses connect various attractions inside the park, and sightseeing boats are available on Dongfeng Lake. - Must-see attractions: 1. Fu'aotang: The core attraction of Sanbai Mountain, featuring the "Dongjiang Source" inscription, with crystal-clear lake water reflecting the mountains. 2. Dongjiang First Waterfall: The waterfall drops from a height of over 100 meters, splashing water everywhere, more spectacular during the rainy season. 3. Glass Skybridge/Plank Road: Suspended above the canyon, overlooking Jiuqu Creek, great for photos (new experience, avoid queues on holidays). 4. Dongfeng Lake: Take a boat ride on the lake, enjoy the green mountains on both sides, perfect for relaxation. - Accommodation: There is the Sanbai Mountain Hot Spring Resort inside the scenic area, where you can soak in hot springs after a tiring day; nearby are rural homestays in towns like Zhengang and Chetou, offering Hakka cultural experiences. Summary: Sanbai Mountain’s "off-the-beaten-path" status is temporary. Its "stunning" appeal comes from its pristine natural landscape (the clear source of the Dongjiang River), rich scenic layers (mountains, water, waterfalls, lakes), and comfortable travel experience (low difficulty + well-developed facilities). If you want to avoid crowds at popular mountains and still feel the awe of nature, this place is definitely worth a visit!

Sanbaishan Hot Spring Resort 🌿 About a 2.5-hour drive from Ganzhou city, accompanied by green mountains all the way. It’s recommended to depart in the afternoon and enjoy the hot springs at dusk—absolutely stunning! | Environment 🌳 The hot spring pools emit gentle steam, like a fairyland! Surrounded by green trees, the park’s paths are clean, and every snapshot is picturesque. At dusk, the sky turns orange, the pool water reflects the sunset glow, peaceful like a movie scene. | Tickets & Experience 🎫 Hot spring tickets usually cost around 128 RMB per person (on certain platforms), slightly higher on weekends. There are many types of pools: high-temperature pools, herbal pools, coconut milk pools… freely switch between them. | Quiet Soaking Time 🕔 Recommended to start soaking at 4 PM. After 5 PM, as the sun sets, you can almost have the hot spring pools to yourself. Weekends tend to be crowded, so it’s best to avoid peak times or enter in the evening. Soaking while watching the fading light, the whole world quiets down. | Small Tip 📋 Bring swimwear, towels, and a waterproof phone pouch! It gets a bit cool at dusk, so you can wrap yourself in a bathrobe when leaving the pool. There are restaurants and tea shops in the park to recharge after soaking~

The best time to enjoy the maple leaves in Sanbai Mountain is from late October to mid-November. However, in some years, due to climate effects, the maple viewing period can be extended to mid-December. For example, the maple leaves along the Rainbow Road in the scenic area often turn bright red during this time, resembling a flowing autumn oil painting, which pairs especially well with the mountain and water scenery for great photos. Visiting in November not only allows you to see the fiery red maple leaves but also to experience picking Gannan navel oranges and soaking in selenium-rich hot springs, making the trip even more enjoyable.

1. Must-visit autumn spots: The highland lake at Fu'ao Pond reflects the red maples on the shore, making it an excellent spot for capturing autumn reflections; the Manyun plank road is lined with gradually changing trees, allowing you to immerse yourself in the romantic experience of "stepping on autumn leaves and hearing the rustling"; around the First Waterfall of Dongjiang, autumn waters flow alongside red and yellow shrubs, and the sunlight refracting through the mist creates stunning photos. For a panoramic view, climb Siyuan Baoding to overlook the valley dyed in autumn colors and the winding Dongjiang River. 2. Featured routes: For a half-day trip, choose Route A. Take the cable car from the main gate visitor center up the mountain, then visit Fu'ao Pond, the glass sky bridge, the glass plank road, and finally the First Waterfall of Dongjiang. This 2-3 hour route lets you easily enjoy the core autumn scenery; for a deeper experience, choose Route B. Take a boat from the north gate to cruise through Dongfeng Lake, enjoy the red leaves reflecting on the clear water, then visit Longtan and Qingxin Waterfall, among others. This full 6-hour route is suitable for visitors with ample time. The glass sky bridge and viewing platform are popular autumn photo spots, offering unobstructed views of the canyon’s fall colors below. Remember to avoid shooting photos at noon when the light is harsh. 3. Autumn-exclusive experiences: The camping base at the Dongfeng Lake pier is perfect for autumn camping, where you can stargaze at night and likely encounter morning mist swirling around the forest at dawn. Reservations can be made in advance; after descending, visit the Sanbai Mountain Hot Spring Resort to soak in selenium-rich hot springs, which will warm you up and relieve hiking fatigue. The children's water play area is also great for family fun. In November, the orange orchards are ripe, and you can go to Hezi Town’s orange orchards to pick fresh, sweet, and juicy navel oranges.

Driving into Sanbaishan feels like stepping into a green pocket — the trees on both sides are so dense they block out the sky, sunlight only filters through the leaves in scattered beams, and even the breeze carries the fresh scent of grass and wood, completely different from the exhaust smells in the city. First, we rushed to the core area, Fu'ao Pond. Standing on the viewing platform looking down, wow, this lake is so magical! A thin veil of mist floats over the water, reflecting the surrounding mountains. Every photo taken with a phone looks like it has a built-in filter, no editing needed. Walking along the lakeside trail, you can hear birds singing and water flowing, occasionally spotting little fish jumping out of the water. When tired, you can sit on a stone bench to rest, and the breeze instantly relaxes you. The biggest surprise was the First Waterfall of Dongjiang! Walking down the stone steps, you hear the water before you see the waterfall. The closer you get, the cooler it feels. When you reach it, the mist hits your face, cool and refreshing. The waterfall crashes from a height into the pool below, splashing water droplets like shattered silver. Standing on the viewing platform, rainbows appear from time to time, and the aunties traveling with us couldn’t stop taking pictures. The food must be praised — Hakka cuisine! The stuffed tofu made by the homestay owner at the foot of the mountain is filled with meat juice inside, paired with local chili peppers, it’s super appetizing; also, the Wuzhi Maotao chicken soup has a faint herbal aroma, the chicken is stewed until tender, and two bowls are never enough. After the meal, the owner brewed mountain spring water tea, saying the water is drawn from the mountain. It tastes truly fresh and sweet, much better than bottled water. The Hakka homestay is also very charming. In the wooden courtyard, there are pomelo trees. In the morning, you’re woken up by birdsong, and opening the window lets you see clouds slowly drifting over the mountaintop. The owner also told us that Sanbaishan is a water source for Hong Kong, pointing to a distant stream and saying, “This water flows all the way to Hong Kong,” which instantly gave the mountains and waters a special meaning. A reminder for everyone: the stone steps near the waterfall are a bit slippery, so be sure to wear non-slip shoes; the temperature difference in the mountains is big between morning and evening, so even in summer, bring a light jacket; if you want authentic mountain spring water, the homestay owner can provide it, no need to carry big bottles yourself. Looking back as we left, Sanbaishan was still shining green. It felt like this trip wasn’t just tourism, but a way to “dust off” the heart. So refreshing!

On the Red Maple Road, a breeze of autumn weaves the entire road into a flowing oil painting. The red leaves on the branches shimmer under the sunlight, and occasionally a leaf drifts down with the wind, as if autumn is delivering a handwritten letter.
