Wow! Discover Jiangxi's Most Underrated City

Worried about crowds during the Lunar New Year holiday? Why not try a reverse tour? 😃 Yiyang, Shangrao, Jiangxi, is a seriously underrated city that is absolutely amazing! 👍 It is home to the World Geopark Guifeng 🐢, the world's largest reclining Buddha 🙏, the intangible cultural heritage Yiyang Opera 🎭, and many other famous historical sites such as Nanyan Temple ✨. It is just as good as any other tourist city! 👏 📍 Location: Yiyang, Shangrao, Jiangxi 🚄 Yiyang Station: 🚖 Only 5 minutes to the county town, 15 minutes to Guifeng, and 10 minutes to the Reclining Buddha. Super convenient! 😎 📋 Itinerary: Day 1: Yiyang - Fang Zhimin Memorial Hall - Dieshan Academy - Reclining Buddha Day 2: Guifeng ✅ Yiyang: The county town is small, but you can feel the local atmosphere 🎇 as you walk down the street. There are also many snacks such as taro dumplings 🥟, Yiyang rice cakes, and fried cakes 😋 to satisfy your taste buds! 😜 ✅ Dieshan Academy: There are ancient buildings such as Wangjiang Tower and Dieshan Tower 🏯. It is a quiet Jiangnan garden 🍃 with few people and a lot of charm! 😃 ✅ Fang Zhimin Memorial Hall: Coming here is like going back to Chinese class 📖. You can learn more about that period of history 📜. ✅ Reclining Buddha: It is both a mountain and a reclining Buddha 🙏. You can look out from the viewing platform opposite, and there are steps to walk up and take photos 📷. It is super impressive from the air! 🤩 ✅ Guifeng: As a World Natural Heritage site, it has 36 peaks and spectacular Danxia landforms 🧗‍♂️. Even Xu Xiake had to climb it! 😎 ❶ Shen Gui Route: 3 hours, 5 km Osmanthus Garden - General Building - Hero Slope - Crape Myrtle Garden ❷ Xiake Route: 3 - 4 hours, 8 km Shen Gui Welcomes Guests - Century Road - Heavenly Maiden Scatters Flowers - General Building - Hero Slope - Crape Myrtle Garden ❸ Full Route: 4 - 5 hours, 10 km Osmanthus Garden - General Building - Three Passes - Southern Sky Column - Camel Peak - Clear Water Pond 📒 Tips: 1. There are no difficult places to climb. The Hero Slope is a great place to take photos! 😃 2. There is a hidden rocking horse 🐎 at Jinzhong Peak. It looks a bit abstract and is very interesting! 😄 3. We recommend staying at the Kaiyuan Manju Hotel 🏨 in Shangrao Guifeng, which is only 50 meters from Guifeng. You won't have to rush to climb the mountain the next day. Super convenient! 😎
