Tired of the hustle and bustle of the city and want to find a quiet and poetic place? Starting from Nanjing High-speed Railway, in just 3 hours, I found the paradise described by Tao Yuanming - Gexian Village in Shangrao, Jiangxi! When the plum blossoms are in full bloom, Gexian Village becomes a paradise on earth. There are more than 5,000 plum trees here, the red plums are gorgeous, the green plums are elegant, the green-calyx plums are refreshing, and the weeping plums are elegant. Each one is vigorous and elegant, with plum blossoms blooming in the cold among the sparse and slanting branches, and the fresh fragrance permeates the air. After the rain, the mountains are shrouded in mist, the plum blossom fragrance wafts through the air, and there are schools of koi in the lake.
