Jiangxi Mingyueshan is the most unforgettable niche tourist attraction in my life.
After admiring the magnificence of Wugong Mountain, I never expected that Mingyueshan could make me yearn for it more deeply with its unique charm. Admittedly, the beauty of Wugong Mountain is breathtaking, but the crowds are also beyond expectation. In contrast, Mingyueshan quietly captured my heart with its niche and quiet posture. They belong to the same vein, but because of the difference in region, they show completely different styles.
The scenery of Mingyueshan is more niche and quiet, and I enjoy climbing the mountain,
The peaks and valleys are dangerous, and the sea of clouds is vast,
Moon Lake is like a jade pool in the sky, and the Qingyun plank road is like a giant dragon hovering,
Especially the waterfalls and streams in the mountains, like the Milky Way in the sky falling from the nine heavens.

A two-day and one-night parent-child hiking tour to Mingyue Mountain.
A two-day and one-night parent-child hiking tour to Mingyue Mountain
Day 1:
At 9:00 in the morning, we set off from Nanchang and took a train to Yichun Station. After arriving, we took bus No. 4 to Gulou to experience the local historical and cultural atmosphere and had lunch nearby.
After lunch, we took bus No. 4 in the opposite direction to Mingyue Interchange, then changed to bus No. 118 and arrived at Wentow after a 40-minute ride. Here, we visited Wentow Ancient Well and experienced the charm of Mingyue Qianshiqing. The Qianshiqing performance starts at 2:30 pm every day, and it is a must-see.
After watching the performance, we took bus No. 118 at Wentow Central Primary School Station and arrived at the foot of Mingyue Mountain in half an hour. We chose to stay in a homestay at the exit of Mingyue Mountain, which is comfortable and affordable. The children had a great time catching small fish in the Yangxi River at the foot of the mountain.
Day 2:
At 8:00 in the morning, we started our hiking trip to Mingyue Mountain. With waterfalls and rivers along the way, we chose to walk along the wooden plank road on both sides of the river, which was both easy and pleasant. Although the road up the mountain was a bit steep and full of steps, the children were full of energy.
After 4 hours of effort, we finally arrived at the middle station of the cable car. The scenery along the way was breathtaking and unforgettable. Next, we took the cable car to the top of the mountain and then the sightseeing car to Moon Lake. At Moon Lake, we had a simple lunch (10 yuan a bucket of instant noodles) to replenish our energy.
After lunch, we started walking through Xingyue Cave and continued along Qingyun Plank Road. We took our time to take photos and enjoyed 2 hours of parent-child time. Finally, we returned to Moon Lake and felt the tranquility and beauty of nature.
At 4:30 pm, we took the cable car down the mountain and ended our unforgettable hiking trip. Then, we took bus No. 118 back to Mingyue Interchange, with a total fare of 6 yuan. At Mingyue Interchange, I chose to take bus No. 118 to Yaqianxi, then transfer to bus No. 6 and go directly to Yichun Station. The whole bus journey took about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
This trip to Mingyue Mountain cost us more than 100 yuan for accommodation, more than 90 yuan for tickets, 150 yuan for the cable car up and down, 30 yuan for the sightseeing car, and 30 yuan for food. Since the two children were free for tickets and cable car, the total cost was about 400 yuan. This trip was perfect and left us with unforgettable memories.

Winter tour to Mingyueshan in Jiangxi, the travel experience is wonderful
At the beginning of the new year, check in at Mingyueshan in Yichun, Jiangxi. While enjoying the beautiful scenery of Mingyueshan, you can also experience the fun of skiing and the romantic sightseeing of the small train.
Mingyueshan is located in the northern section of the Luoxiao Mountains on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi. It is mainly composed of twelve peaks over a kilometer above sea level, including Taiping Mountain, Yujing Mountain, Lao Mountain, and Yangshan. Mingyueshan focuses on the moon theme, integrating moon cultural landscapes and natural landscapes, and there are many cultural elements related to the bright moon in the scenic area.
We took the cable car to the top of the mountain more than 1500 meters above sea level, galloping in the ski resort surrounded by dense forests, racing between the ice and snow, and enjoying the thrill of speed and passion. You don't have to go to 'Erbin' to satisfy everyone's longing for the ice and snow world.
In addition to skiing, tourists should not miss the immersive appreciation of the beautiful scenery here when visiting Mingyueshan Scenic Area, where the negative ions are bursting in winter. The core attraction of Mingyueshan is Qingyun Plank Road, a 3-kilometer-long aerial plank road that is often shrouded in clouds and mist. Walking on it, you will feel like stepping into the sky. The plank road connects Moon Lake and Xingyue Cave, with different scenery along the way, excellent vision, and you can enjoy the most beautiful scenery of the entire Mingyueshan. Whether strolling or standing on the cliff plank road, the mountains below are stacked and undulating, showing the beauty of majesty and magnificence. We took pictures with our cameras all the way and couldn't stop at all. Moreover, the height difference of the plank road in Mingyueshan is not large, and it is not tiring to walk. Even the elderly can easily complete the hiking challenge. It is an excellent place to climb and enjoy the scenery in winter.
In addition, we also took the Mingyueshan small train to experience the romantic and comfortable journey of mountain train sightseeing. The Mingyueshan small train line is about 3.95 kilometers long, starting from the top of Mingyueshan and ending at the Yangshi Mu scenic area. The train moves slowly forward, passing through a kilometer-long tunnel, along the mountain wall or overhead track, shuttling between the cliffs and forests at an altitude of more than a thousand meters, whether it is sightseeing or taking pictures, it feels very good.

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.
