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

👍🏻Recommendation: Seriously, I highly recommend Guifeng Scenic Area in Yiyang, Shangrao👏! This UNESCO World Heritage mountain peak is absolutely breathtaking! Compared to the crowded Wuyuan and Jingdezhen, this place is less crowded and more unique, offering a truly fulfilling travel experience💯. If you're looking to avoid the May Day holiday crowds, this is the perfect choice. Just go for it! It's a UNESCO Global Geopark, and even Xu Xiake, a famous traveler, praised it as being no less impressive than Yandang Mountain, one of the top ten famous mountains at the time. The geological formations here are steep and unique, a rare Danxia peak forest landform in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions, guaranteed to amaze you✨. 🗺About the Scenic Area: Yiyang Guifeng is a true gem of a mountain🎈. Its uniqueness lies in its distinctive Danxia peak forest landform, with all sorts of strangely shaped peaks standing tall, like works of art carefully sculpted by nature. There are many must-see attractions here, such as Hao Han Po (Hero Slope), a stairway carved out of a large rock face. Walking on it feels like being on another planet, and after climbing it, you'll feel like a true hero😎. Then there's Luotuo Feng (Camel Peak), the highest peak in the scenic area. Its 90-degree vertical ladder will make your heart race and scream with excitement just by looking at it😱. Also, don't miss Guifeng Lake. Boating on the lake🚤 offers a unique perspective of the bizarre peaks and rocks, creating a feeling of discovering a hidden world. 🚗Getting There: Transportation is quite convenient🚗. If you choose to take the high-speed train, Yiyang Station is a good option. It's only 1.8 hrs from Hangzhou, 3 hrs from Shanghai, and 3.5 hrs from Nanjing🚄. After arriving, a 15-min taxi ride will take you directly to the scenic area. If you prefer driving, it's about a 2-hr drive from Wuyuan or Jingdezhen. 🗺Suggested Routes: There are three classic hiking routes in the scenic area🧗. After entering the main gate, take the sightseeing bus to Suochun Cave to start your hike. The overall difficulty is not high. Even someone with low energy like me found it much easier than climbing Huangshan or the west slope of Changbai Mountain. 1. Shengui Trail: Guihua Garden → Jiangjun Tower → Hao Han Po → Ziwei Garden, Difficulty: ⭐⭐, 5 km, approx. 2.5 hrs. This route is relatively easy, suitable for those who are not used to hiking or for families with children or seniors. 2. Xiake Trail: Shengui Greeting → Bainian Path → Tiannü Sanhua → Jiangjun Tower → Hao Han Po → Ziwei Garden, Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐, 8 km, approx. 3.5 hrs. This route is a bit longer, but the scenery along the way is more diverse. 3. Full Trail: Guihua Garden → Jiangjun Tower → Sandao Pass → Nantian Pillar → Luotuo Peak → Qingshuitang, Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐, 10 km, approx. 4.5 hrs. This route is more challenging, but it offers more scenic views, suitable for those who are physically fit and enjoy a challenge. If you want to take stunning photos📸, I recommend this route: Ziwei Garden → Hao Han Po → Sandao Pass → Rest Pavilion → Camel Peak Viewing Platform → West Coast Viewing Platform → Eighteen Arhats Rest Stop → Glass Walkway → Camel Peak Service Point → Slide down the mountain → Qingshuitang, Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐, 10 km, 4.5 hrs. The scenery along this route is incredibly photogenic, with stunning photo opportunities at every turn. 🍱Food Recommendations: Unfortunately, the original text doesn't mention any food😔. However, once you're there, you can try the local specialties of Yiyang, such as Yiyang rice cakes, which are famous for their soft and chewy texture and various cooking methods. They are delicious whether fried or boiled. You might even discover more hidden culinary treasures. 💰Cost: The entrance fee is CNY 60🎫. A combined ticket costs CNY 160 and includes the sightseeing bus and boat ride. I think the combined ticket is worth it if you have enough time, as it allows you to explore the scenic area more comprehensively. 📌Other Tips: 1. There are no restaurants in the scenic area, but there are a few rest stops where you can buy instant noodles, sausages, and other simple snacks. It's best to bring your own snacks🥪 to keep your energy levels up. 2. The mountain trails are generally easy to walk on, suitable for people of all ages, but it's still recommended to wear comfortable athletic shoes👟 for a more comfortable hike. Also, be sure to wear sun-protective clothing, as the sun can be quite strong in the mountains🌞. 3. Never take the emergency trails blocked off by the scenic area. Safety first! Always follow the designated routes🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️. 4. Guifeng Scenic Area is open from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. Remember to plan your time accordingly🕙.

Jiangxi is home to many breathtaking sceneries beyond the well-known Jingdezhen and Wuyuan. Among them is the Yiyang Guifeng Scenic Area, a Danxia landform that has been recognized as a World Natural Heritage site. The area boasts uniquely shaped peaks and rocks that appear as if they were meticulously carved, offering views that rival those of Huangshan but with fewer crowds, making for an unparalleled travel experience. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature, this is the perfect destination. Get ready to explore with this comprehensive travel guide!

In the vast landscapes of Jiangxi, there lies a hidden gem that resembles a fairyland—Guifeng. It may not have the fame of Sanqing Mountain in Shangrao, but it boasts a unique tranquility and beauty. Entering the Guifeng Scenic Area feels like stepping into a magical art hall crafted by nature itself. The mountains here are not high but come in various shapes. Some resemble lively animals, leaping among the mountains; others look like elegant fairies, standing gracefully. The magnificent and steep Danxia landforms are fully displayed here, leaving people in awe. For tourists who want to explore deeply, you can choose this route: start from Guihuayuan, pass through General Building, Sandao Pass, and Eighteen Arhats Rest Point, climb to the top of Jinzhong Peak, stroll along the mountain path, challenge the glass walkway, bravely climb Camel Peak, and finally reach Qingshuitang. If you are traveling with the elderly and children, you might opt for a simplified route: from Guihuayuan to General Building, then through Hero Slope to Ziyuan Garden. The journey takes about two hours, with scenic spots at every step. The natural landscapes and the ingenious artificial constructions are perfectly integrated. The sturdy and gentle viewing platforms and steps allow you to appreciate the spectacular scenery even when facing steep cliffs without worrying about excessive physical exertion. You can easily enjoy the trip even with a baby. When you reach the top of the mountain, the scene of "looking horizontally as a ridge and sideways as a peak, with different views from near and far, high and low" unfolds before your eyes, and you can't help but feel a heroic sentiment of "I will ascend the peak and view all the small mountains at a glance." At that moment, the whole world becomes tranquil, as if time has stopped for this beautiful scenery. Guifeng has many check-in points. Hero Slope lives up to its name, with a road carved out of huge rocks and winding steps leading you forward, allowing you to take the most beautiful photos with Guifeng. On Jinzhong Peak, the full view of the spiritual and beautiful Guifeng is intoxicating. Camel Peak, the highest peak in the scenic area, has a 90-degree vertical ladder that makes you scream at a glance, challenging the limits of courage. In Yixiantian, the hundred-meter walkway between two peaks brings a thrilling visual experience. The mountain path built around the mountain feels like an endless staircase. The water park is a paradise for children, with activities like jet skiing and surfing making parent-child activities extremely fun, achieving a perfect combination of mountain and water enjoyment. Don't forget to take photos. The Xiake Line Rest Pavilion, Divine Turtle Welcoming Guests, and Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers are also must-see spots. Here, every scene and atmosphere may become your next great photo. We stayed at Bishui Danxin, which is very close to the scenic area. The European-style courtyard has a unique charm, and the host is particularly enthusiastic. There's also good news: Jiangxi residents can enjoy this beautiful scenery until August 31. Come to Guifeng and start a secret mountain journey through time and space!

This tour group is really tough, we are on the bus every day—hiking. Today we arrived at Guifeng in Shangrao City, this rock formation is Danxia landform, which means the rocks have different colors, it is really beautiful, no wonder it is a AAAA-level tourist area. Many mountains look very special, like turtles, I am quite curious if this was formed by earthquakes or by wind and rain? But it is really unique. I highly recommend bringing trekking poles and knee pads, although the trails and stairs are well set up, you will be constantly climbing stairs, up and down, which is a bit hard on the knees. Address: Guifeng Town, Yiyang County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province Tickets: 80 RMB Opening hours: 7:30-18:00 Note: Bring water and lunch, I didn't see any stalls selling things

🚩Yiyang, Shangrao, Jiangxi: An Underrated Tourist Destination Yiyang is a place in Shangrao, Jiangxi, that is not well-known but has stunning scenery and a rich cultural heritage. It is home to the Guifeng World Geopark, the world's largest reclining Buddha, the Yiyang Opera, and Nanyan Temple, among other attractions. It is no less impressive than other popular tourist cities. 🚌Transportation and Location Yiyang is conveniently located and easily accessible. If you take the train, it is only a 5-minute drive from Yiyang Station to the county town, about 15 minutes to Guifeng, and about 10 minutes to the Reclining Buddha. 🚩Itinerary Recommendations Day 1: Cultural Tour of Yiyang County First, visit the Fang Zhimin Memorial Hall. This place carries a heavy history. Walking into the memorial hall is like going back to a Chinese class, where the heroic deeds and noble spirit of Fang Zhimin are vividly displayed. Through pictures, objects, and detailed text, you can learn about the life of this great revolutionary, feel his dedication to his ideals and beliefs, and receive a profound patriotic education and spiritual baptism. Next, visit Dieshan Academy. This is an ancient academy with a Jiangnan flavor, with ancient buildings such as Wangjiang Tower and Dieshan Tower. Stepping into the academy, the tranquil atmosphere instantly takes you away from the hustle and bustle, as if time has turned back. Stroll through the academy, admire the exquisite architecture, feel the traces of time, and savor the tranquility and elegance of the Jiangnan garden. In the afternoon, visit the awe-inspiring Reclining Buddha Scenic Area. This Reclining Buddha is not only a mountain but also a lifelike giant reclining Buddha. From the viewing platform opposite, the majestic sight is breathtaking. Walk along the steps to get closer to the Reclining Buddha, admire its details, and take photos to capture this amazing sight. From the air, the full view of the Reclining Buddha is even more impressive, a testament to the wonders of nature. In the evening, return to Yiyang County, stroll the streets, and feel the local atmosphere. Try local snacks such as taro dumplings, Yiyang rice cakes, and fried cakes. Taro dumplings are soft and glutinous with a delicious filling; Yiyang rice cakes are chewy and can be boiled or fried; fried cakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fragrant aroma. While enjoying the food, talk to the locals, learn about their lives, and feel the warmth and friendliness of this small town. Day 2: Natural Adventure in Guifeng In the morning, head to Guifeng Scenic Area for a day of natural adventure. Guifeng, a World Natural Heritage site, has 36 peaks and unique Danxia landforms that even Xu Xiake was captivated by. The peaks are of various shapes, some like turtles, some like fairies, making one marvel at the wonders of nature. 🚩There are several routes to choose from in Guifeng. The Turtle Route takes about 3 hours and is 5 km long. Starting from the Osmanthus Garden, pass by the General's Tower and the Hero's Slope, and finally reach the Crape Myrtle Garden. The scenery along the way is beautiful, especially the Hero's Slope, where you can take photos with the majestic mountains in the background. The Xiake Route takes about 3-4 hours and is 8 km long. Starting from the Turtle Welcome, pass by the Hundred-Year Road, the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers, the General's Tower, and the Hero's Slope, and finally reach the Crape Myrtle Garden. Along the way, you can admire various strange mountain shapes and beautiful natural scenery. For those with good stamina, the Full Route is a good challenge, taking about 4-5 hours and covering 10 km. Starting from the Osmanthus Garden, pass by the General's Tower, the Three Gates, the Southern Sky Pillar, and the Camel Peak, and finally reach the Clear Water Pond. On this route, you will have a more comprehensive view of the magnificent scenery of Guifeng. During the tour, there are a few tips to keep in mind. First, the mountain roads in Guifeng are not difficult to climb, but the Hero's Slope is a great place for photos, so be sure to capture the moment. Second, there is a hidden rocking horse on the Golden Bell Peak, which is somewhat abstract in shape and requires careful searching, adding a touch of fun when you find it. If you want to enjoy Guifeng at a leisurely pace, you can stay at the Kaiyuan Manju Hotel in Shangrao Guifeng. The hotel is only 50 meters from Guifeng, so you don't have to rush to climb the mountain the next day. In the new year, climb the mountain and enjoy the view, experience a new way of celebrating the new year outdoors, and inject energy and courage into the new year. 🍜Food and Accommodation In Yiyang, in addition to the snacks mentioned above, there are many other delicacies worth trying. For example, Yiyang oil-drizzled fish, with tender fish and a special sauce, is spicy and delicious; Yiyang braised pork, with a rich flavor, melts in your mouth. For accommodation, if you like lively and convenient places, you can choose a hotel in Yiyang County; if you prefer tranquility and nature, a homestay near Guifeng is a good choice, where you can wake up in the morning and feel the beauty of nature.

To be honest, Guifeng was not in the original itinerary. The day before, I was still at Longhu Mountain. Considering that I had to drive long distances for two consecutive days, I decided to find a place closer. I found Guifeng on the map. It takes just over an hour to drive from Longhu Mountain on the national highway. It is a 5A scenic spot, and there is also a high-standard accommodation nearby, Guifeng Villa. The accommodation includes tickets, so I was pleasantly surprised and rushed to Guifeng. The next day, I entered through the side door after breakfast. The tall and steep red mountain has little vegetation. Some look like turtles, some look like camels. The high-altitude plank road has such a wide view that I felt a little scared walking on it. I took my child to the top of the mountain, where there is a rocking horse. I was too tired to go to Camel Peak, so I went back along the best part of the route. If you are in good shape, you can challenge a more difficult route. There are three different routes in total, suitable for different people.

When we think of Jiangxi, we often think of the world-famous Jingdezhen or the autumn scenery of Wuyuan. Today, I want to introduce you to a hidden and low-key natural wonder. Its unique shape is like a sculpture. It is not a popular tourist destination, but it has been recognized as a World Natural Heritage Site by the United Nations. It has been known as "the rarest turtle peak in the world" since ancient times. 🏔 · 🗺Travel Information 📍Address: Yiyang Guifeng Scenic Area 🚉High-speed rail: Yiyang Station. Take Bus No. 2 at the bus stop outside the station. · 🚶‍♂️Hiking Routes The scenic area is large, so choose a route that suits your physical fitness and time. 1️⃣[Divine Turtle Route] Duration: 2.5 hours, Difficulty: ⭐⭐ Osmanthus Garden → General Building → Hero Slope → Crape Myrtle Garden → Guifeng Lake 2️⃣[Xu Xiake Route] Duration: 3.5 hours, Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐ Divine Turtle Welcomes Guests → Century Road → Heavenly Maiden Scatters Flowers → Turtle Back Stone → Eagle Plays with Chicks → Loyal Soul Stone → Plank Road → Three Passes → Hero Slope → Crape Myrtle Garden → Guifeng Lake 3️⃣[Full Route] Duration: 4.5 hours, Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Osmanthus Garden → General Building → Three Passes → Southern Sky Pillar → Camel Peak → Guifeng Lake · 📸Recommended Photo Spots ✔Hero Slope The winding stairs were hand-carved by the older generation, and the steep cliffs beside them are a testament to the spirit of the stone carvers. ✔Camel Peak The highest peak in the scenic area, with nearly 90-degree cliff stairs, is steep and deep. The drone view is breathtaking. ✔Old Man Peak Named for its resemblance to an old man, you can see Old Man Peak three times along the way. The head and body of the peak are connected by three points, leaning but not falling, slanting but not collapsing, with a different view at every step. ✔Golden Bell Peak Everyone was amused by the surprise at the top of Golden Bell Peak. There is a rocking horse at the top of the mountain. Sitting on the rocking horse and watching the sunrise and sunset is truly relaxing. ✔One Line Sky Two peaks stand vertically, and the midday sunlight shines through the gap, with beams of light pouring down like a waterfall, which is very spectacular. ✔Guifeng Lake The clear lake water is like a blue gem embedded in the peaks, embraced by the Danxia landform stone forest, like an ink painting. · 🛀My Accommodation I chose to stay at the Fragrant Grassland Resort Hotel in the park, which is a 3-minute walk from the entrance of the scenic area. It has different styles, such as independent courtyards, balcony rooms, and family suites. After climbing the mountain, a hot bath can relieve the fatigue of the day, which is really comfortable. 🧸 · 📝Tips 🍃It is recommended to check the weather forecast before planning your trip. 🍃Remember to protect yourself from the sun and mosquito bites when going out. 🍃Wear comfortable sneakers to make climbing easier.
