Jiangxi/Mingyueshan/A place that is so beautiful that it intoxicates!
Yichun City is located in the northwest of Jiangxi Province, with three cities, six counties and one district under its jurisdiction, covering a total area of 18.7 thousand square kilometers and a total population of 5.2 million. The territory is mainly hilly and mountainous, with a mild climate, abundant rainfall, distinct seasons, and is known as 'beautiful mountains and clear waters, fertile soil and sweet springs, its climate is like spring, suitable for all seasons'!
Attractions Recommendation
Qingyun Plank Road: Located at the top of Mingyueshan Mountain at an altitude of 1500 meters, it is about 3100 meters long. Because it is often shrouded in clouds and mist, walking on it feels like stepping into the sky. The top of the mountain is very cool.
Moon Lake: There are plank roads and many water fir trees in the lake, and the reflections are very beautiful. On a good morning, the lake is very fairy with mist.
Cloud Valley Waterfall: One of the eight scenic spots in Yichun, the waterfall is more than 160 meters long and 3 to 4 meters wide. There are five levels in total, namely Cloud Valley Waterfall, Linglong Waterfall, Fish Scale Waterfall, Jade Dragon Waterfall, and Flying Waterfall.
Mountain Train: A must-visit for internet celebrities, super good for taking pictures! You can stretch out your body like the train in Sri Lanka, but be careful, it feels very good to shuttle on the mountain~
Food Recommendation 🍱
1⃣️ Jijihong Hot Pot (Yichun Runda Second Store)
A hot pot restaurant with a blue and yellow theme, various hand-made, green plant garden, eternal flower wall, starry sky corridor. It is very suitable for punching cards and souvenirs. This is the first time I have seen such a forward-looking design style in a hot pot restaurant, so I strongly recommend it to everyone!
2⃣️ Four Star Moon
Four Star Moon is a traditional dish in Yichun, Jiangxi. It is made by washing and slicing grass carp, marinating, battering, and then steaming in a steamer. The fish slices are tender and smooth, salty and spicy, and the method is like a complicated version of sauerkraut fish, but the taste is heavier and spicier.
3⃣️ Three Cups Chicken
Three Cups Chicken is one of the ten classic dishes. Because no water is added during the production process, only one cup of rice wine, one cup of lard and one cup of soy sauce are added, so it is named Three Cups Chicken. Three Cups Chicken tastes sweet and salty, salty and fresh, and it is also very chewy, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is.
