| Take your kids to Wugong Mountain! Check out this detailed guide! Kids, life should be full of passion‼️ / Two 7-year-olds "easily" conquered Wugong Mountain! Experience the sunrise, sea of clouds, and courage to go all out! This guide is suitable for hiking beginners and kids with hiking experience. / 🔶Itinerary: We didn't choose the regular route from Pingxiang because there are too many people during holidays and the cable car line is long. Now I think the Anfu route was a great choice! There are fewer people, beautiful scenery, and the road is easier to walk with half the steps. 🚄Take a high-speed train to Yichun Station, then rent a car to Anfu Wugong Mountain Tourist Center. There are direct buses, but they are infrequent. ▶️Going up: Take a scenic bus from the tourist center (20 minutes) → walk 10 minutes to the cable car, climb a section of mountain road to the Santianmen Cable Car → climb the steps to the Golden Summit (1–2 hours). The scenery along the way is nice, and you can see the alpine meadow. ▶️Accommodation: To see the sunrise and sea of clouds in the morning, we decided to stay near the Golden Summit. The closest place to the Golden Summit is near Baihe Peak. We stayed in a wooden house at the Mountain God Convenience Store, 12 minutes from the Golden Summit. ▶️Going down: After watching the sunrise and sea of clouds at the Golden Summit, return to your accommodation, pack your things, and return the way you came. 🔶Tips: 1. Anfu is not as developed as Pingxiang. If you want to experience Wugong Mountain in all its glory, start from Pingxiang. 2. You can find most things on the mountain, and the prices are reasonable, so you can lighten your backpack. The Mountain God Convenience Store even has a place to shower, which is rare. 3. Wugong Mountain is worth visiting in autumn. Although the grass starts to turn yellow, you can see the sunrise and sea of clouds. 4. A 30L hiking backpack is enough. My friends and I all chose a beautiful purple color. You have to look good outdoors!

As a Hunanese who has visited Jiangxi no less than 7 times, I really love Jiangxi! Here are some recommended tourist spots: Babies who are planning to go out during May Day, save this exclusive Jiangxi May Day travel guide: 1. Wugong Mountain: My favorite, I've challenged myself there 3 times already, and it's different in every season! 2. Yichun: The hot springs are so comfortable! Can you believe it's only a 1 hour and 10-minute drive from Liling? You can watch the Yichun Millennium Love performance, and also visit the Mingyue Mountain scenic area 3. Jingdezhen: (We drove from Changsha, and it took about five or six hours to get there) You can also go to Taoxi Valley, there are lots of porcelain, really super cute! 4. China Ceramic Museum: Remember to make a reservation in advance, I must say, it's too exquisite (you can see the very popular Speechless Buddha), and there are even flowers made of porcelain! 5. Xinping Village Porcelain Palace: Personally, I don't think it's worth the ticket price, and the location is a bit off, the surroundings are a bit bleak 6. Wuyi Island: There are also many performances, the best ones are the light show and the iron flower performance, really amazing 7. Wuyuan Hongling: Half is like a fairyland and half is like the human world, especially the night view, it's super beautiful when the lights are on! Hui-style architecture, with terraces outside 8. Wuyuan San Yan Bridge, not particularly recommended, not worth the long trip [ 9. Erjiu Street Alley, said to be the filming location for Zhang Yimou's I Am Not Madame Bovary, but it didn't feel particularly special when I visited, and it didn't seem worth a long trip just for it If you like this article, and are interested in Jiangxi cuisine, you can also tell me, and if I have time, I can post about the delicious food in Jiangxi next time!
