Unlike traditional landscapes, West Sea offers a unique blend of "lake islands + meditation + family fun," earning it the title of "China's Most Beautiful Scenery" by *Chinese National Geography*. 📸Top 3 Must-Sees: 1️⃣ West Sea Star Ferris Wheel (💰70 RMB) Enjoy a bird's-eye view of the islands from 48 meters high. We recommend visiting in the evening to watch the sunset paint the lake surface the color of orange soda. 2️⃣ True Ru Chan Temple on Yunju Mountain (💰20 RMB) This ancient temple houses the stupa of Master Xuyun. Join the morning chanting at 5 am for a meditative experience. 3️⃣ Flower Thousand Valley (💰50 RMB) A popular farm with flowers blooming year-round. The tulips in spring and pink muhly grass in autumn are perfect for Instagram-worthy photos. 🚗Getting There: ▫️By car: From Nanchang, navigate to "West Sea Sima Wharf." Take the Yongxiu West exit from the Hangrui Expressway. The journey takes about 1.5 hours. ▫️By high-speed rail: Take the train to Yongxiu Station or Wuning Station, then take a taxi for about 40 minutes (carpooling is recommended, around 30 RMB per person). ▫️By bus: Direct buses depart from Nanchang Xujiafang Bus Station at 7:30 am and 2:00 pm (💰45 RMB). 🎒Travel Tips: ✔️Recommended 2-day itinerary: Day 1: Sima Wharf → West Sea Star Ferris Wheel → Waipo Island (experience a fisherman's homestay) Day 2: Yunju Mountain → Flower Thousand Valley → Return ✔️Ticket combo: Sima Scenic Area + Yunju Mountain combined ticket 💰135 RMB (saves 30 RMB compared to buying separate tickets) ✔️Seasonal highlights: During the cherry blossom season (March-April) and the maple leaf season (September-October), the scenic area offers special boat tickets. 🏨Accommodation Recommendations: ✅West Sea Boxintang (💰600+ RMB): Lake-view floor-to-ceiling windows + private dock, perfect for honeymoons. ✅Hot spring B&Bs (💰300-500 RMB): We recommend "West Sea Yunqi," which includes hot spring tickets for two. ❌Hotels inside the scenic area: Not cost-effective. We recommend staying in Wuning County, about 3 km from the wharf. 💡Local Tips: 1️⃣ Sun protection! The lake reflects strong sunlight, so sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen are essential. 2️⃣ Choose upper-deck seats on the boat (💰10 RMB upgrade fee) for unobstructed photo opportunities. 3️⃣ Must-try dishes: Gunzi fish (💰68 RMB/serving), alkaline noodles with cured bacon. 4️⃣ Best photo spot: Yunju Mountain Observation Deck (navigate to "Yunju Mountain Peak") for panoramic views of the sea of clouds. ⚠️Things to Avoid: ① Don't buy dried whitebait from vendors outside the scenic area claiming to be "fishermen's direct sales," as the prices are inflated. ② Boat queues are long on weekends. We recommend visiting from Monday to Thursday to avoid crowds. ③ Some small islands are over-commercialized. We recommend chartering a boat to explore uninhabited islands for a more natural experience.

This is not western Sichuan, this is the fairyland of Yunju Mountain near Nanchang‼️ 👇Limited words, continued from the previous article👇 ‼️First, highlight: Yunju Mountain and Yunju Peak are two different places, and there is a certain distance between them by car. If you plan to stay in Yongxiu for two days and one night, it is recommended to visit them on separate days. If you have to choose one, I can only say that if you want more children's entertainment facilities, choose Yunju Peak. If you want richer and more layered natural and cultural scenery, you must choose Yunju Mountain; 🌈Yunju Mountain is a famous Buddhist mountain in China. Its summit, Zhenru Temple, is the birthplace of the Caodong School of Zen Buddhism and is one of the "Three Model Forests" of Buddhism in China and a key national open temple. 👇👇👇Recommended itinerary for Yunju Mountain: 1. Drive up the mountain. Drive up the mountain from the foot of the mountain. The road is refreshing, and the vegetation on both sides of the mountain road is dense, mostly ancient trees🌳. Occasionally, there are small waterfalls flowing down the mountain, and the scenery is very pleasant; 2. Yunju Mountain is mainly divided into two major scenic areas: one is the Lotus City Scenic Area, and the other is the Hundred Flowers Valley Scenic Area; 3. Go straight to the top, which is the Lotus City Scenic Area, where Zhenru Temple is located, to visit Zen Buddhism. It is relatively spacious and open, with parking spaces. After visiting Zhenru Temple; You can also visit other attractions, such as Foyin Bridge, Mingyue Lake, Zhaozhou Pass, etc.; 4. After visiting the Lotus City Scenic Area, drive down the mountain for a while and you will see a rainbow road leading directly to the Hundred Flowers Valley Scenic Area, which is mostly natural landscapes, flying waterfalls, and cliffs. The main attractions are Hongjue Dojo, Guanyin Mirror, Baihua Stream, etc., with rich natural resources; When the weather is warm, it is also a good place to play in the water; It was raining when we went there, and when we arrived at Yun Pool, it was shrouded in mist, as if we had entered a fairyland; Next to Yun Pool, there is also a Hero Slope, and after climbing it, you will see another cloud scene.
