Been to Yichun, Jiangxi 6 times! Soaking in hot springs and watching waterfalls from December to January is so enjoyable you won’t want to leave

Who gets it! Winter in Yichun is the ultimate combo of "hot springs + mountains and waters" 🌿 Soak in warm baths and see frozen waterfalls from December to January, so comfortable even your parents will praise your choice! 🌊【Must-Play Highlights: Mingyue Mountain + Hot Springs】 Keywords: Frozen waterfalls + selenium-rich hot springs + lung-cleansing oxygen bar - Top 3 must-plays: ✅ Mingyue Mountain Waterfall: See ice formations in December! Take the cable car (80 RMB round trip) up the mountain, hike down to see the "Yungu Flying Waterfall," where winter mist wraps the ice crystals creating a magical scene ❄️ ✅ Wentang Town Hot Springs: Yichun is the "Hometown of Hot Springs," and Wentang Town’s selenium-rich hot springs go right into the rooms! Stay in a guesthouse with private hot springs (about 50 RMB per person per night), or visit "Tianmu Hot Springs" (ticket 150+ RMB) for public pools ✅ Gujingquan Street: Stroll the Tang-style ancient street at night, watch the light show and enjoy snacks, free and great for photos 📸 - Pitfall reminder: Don’t hike all the way on Mingyue Mountain! Cable car plus some walking is easier (suitable for elders/kids) 🗺️【2 Days 1 Night Lazy Itinerary】 Day 1: Arrive in Yichun → Stay in Wentang Town guesthouse → Soak in private hot spring → Explore Gujingquan Street and have late-night snacks Day 2: Mingyue Mountain (cable car up and down + hike to see waterfalls) → Eat Jiangxi cuisine downhill → Return trip 🚗【Transportation Guide】 - From other cities: Fly to "Yichun Mingyue Mountain Airport," or take high-speed rail to "Yichun Station," then taxi to Wentang Town about 30 RMB (20 minutes) - Local transport: Taxi from Wentang Town to Mingyue Mountain Scenic Area costs 10 RMB, sightseeing shuttle inside the park (15 RMB per segment) 🍜【Yichun Must-Try Foods】 - Jiangxi spicy dishes: Zhangshugang chili fried pork, Yichun rice noodles (about 20 RMB per person, spice level adjustable) - Wentang specialties: Selenium-rich hot spring eggs (5 RMB for 3, soft yolk and tender), Wentang steamed rice cake (sweet and fluffy) - Late-night snack recommendation: Stir-fried snails and grilled eggplant on Gujingquan Street, paired with a bowl of clay pot soup to warm your stomach 💡【December Travel Tips】 1. The temperature at the top of Mingyue Mountain is low, bring a light down jacket + non-slip shoes 2. Don’t soak in hot springs on an empty or overly full stomach, book private hot springs in guesthouses in advance (December is peak season!) 3. To photograph frozen waterfalls, choose a sunny morning (sunlight on ice crystals makes for amazing photos)
