🎇 "Weekend Trip to Wangxian Valley: Essential Tips You Need to Know!"
👀 Is it worth a visit?
Personally, I think it's super worth it 😎! But you have to go at the right time❗️❗️During the day, it's really unremarkable, but when the lights come on at night, wow😍, it's simply stunning! I recommend arriving around 5pm, so you can see both the sunset and the night view! During the blue hour, the sky is blue, and it's absolutely gorgeous😜! The night view is even more amazing, and there are bonfire performances and other shows, so it's very lively🎉！
😫 Be sure to bring a fan!
The entire scenic area is outdoors and has no air conditioning. In the summer, there are a lot of tourists, so it's extremely hot💥! When I went, it was cloudy, and I still sweated a lot💦!
👒 Check the weather forecast in advance!
On sunny days, be sure to bring an umbrella, sunscreen, and a hat! When the sun is out, it's both hot and sunny, and you might get dizzy😵!
🍔 Be sure to bring food and drinks!
Many of the restaurants in the scenic area don't have air conditioning😓😓, so it's too hot to eat there🥵. Only a few restaurants have air conditioning, and during the summer holidays, they might be booked by tour groups, so there might not be any seats😭😨. Bringing your own snacks is a wise choice!
📷 About photo spots!
The two most photogenic spots in the entire scenic area are Baige Bridge and Baihe Cliff! The blue hour is the best time to take photos🤳! If you have a drone, be sure to bring it along. Some of the most popular online angles can only be captured by drone, it's amazing👏！
🏨 About accommodation!
Whether or not to stay in the scenic area depends on your budget! If you have a high budget, stay in a hotel, which is convenient for watching the sunrise the next day🌅. If you have a low budget, stay outside, and you won't have any regrets after seeing the night view~
🏄 If you have plenty of time and want to play in the water, you can go rafting!
The rafting route is very long, with a large drop and fast water flow, it's super exciting😝! Remember to bring quick-drying clothes, water shoes, swimming goggles, a waterproof phone bag, and a disposable bath towel for rafting!
🏞 Scenic spot: Wangxian Valley 🚩 Location: Wangxian Township, Guangxin District, Shangrao City 🎫 Ticket: CNY 120/person 🚄 Transportation: High-speed rail to Shangrao Station, scenic area bus CNY 30/person, or take a taxi

🌟Day1: Morning Mist, Entering the Fairyland
As soon as you step into Wangxiangu, it's like traveling through a thousand years. The morning mist lingers, with ancient bridges and flowing water, and green bamboo swaying gently.

🚅 The high-speed train can reach Shangrao directly, and when booking a room in advance, you can ask the owner if they can arrange a carpool driver (they usually can, with prices around 30-40) or you can take the scenic area bus from the high-speed train station for 30 per person, which is very convenient!
📸📸📸 In the scenic area, you can rent Hanfu or ethnic costumes at the entrance to take photos inside during the day, which is very suitable for a fairy-tale vibe. If you just want to see the night view, it's recommended to enter around 4:30 PM. It's suggested to climb up from the left side to the top to wait for a dark spot to take photos. It's great to take photos downstairs just as the lights turn on and before it gets dark, and after taking photos, you can head down to the snack street to eat, then walk forward to Lanyue Bridge to check in and take panoramic photos
🔥🔥 There is a bonfire party in the square with singing performances and storytelling
🏄♀️🏄♀️🏄♀️ Summer is a great time to visit for a cool retreat and you can also go rafting
Who exactly is saying that the night view of Wangxian Valley is beautiful?
Isn't it more beautiful during the day?
The night view is beautiful when looking down from Baihe Cliff, but if you want to see the cliff from the valley, you have to come during the day. After it gets dark, you can't see the mountains behind.
Moreover, there are many people at night. If you come early in the morning, I can enjoy it all by myself.
I can only say that each has its own beauty, but I prefer Wangxian Valley during the day.

An adventure into the 'immortal heroes' world triggered by a photo! Here's my experience
Hey, buddies! Have you ever been 'lured' to a mysterious place by a stunningly beautiful photo? Haha, that's exactly what happened to me—I was 'deceived' into visiting Wangxian Valley in Shangrao, Jiangxi!

Every step is a view, and every check-in spot is worth remembering! 📸
🏨 For accommodation, if you have a sufficient budget, consider staying at a cliffside homestay to experience the real 'immortal heroes' life. Of course, there are also affordable homestays outside the scenic area to choose from, with friendly prices, and it's only a 10-minute drive away. 🏠
🍽️ Food recommendations are a must! Be sure to try the sweet and sour dried fruit of 'a fairy fruit', as well as the fresh kudzu root juice and kudzu root crisp from 'Hengfeng Ge', which have an excellent taste! Also, 'stringy corn' and 'Wangxian silly winter melon' are delicious treats not to be missed. The prices are friendly, and the value is outstanding! 🍲
In summary, Wangxian Valley is really too 'immortal'! If you also want to experience an adventure in the world of immortal heroes, then set off now! Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
Valley of the Immortals
Valley of the Immortals is a breathtaking destination that combines natural scenery, cultural landscapes, and eco-tourism. It's definitely worth exploring!
Valley of the Immortals is renowned for its unique Danxia landforms and crystal-clear streams, each spot appearing as if it's been meticulously sculpted by nature. I strolled along the winding paths, flanked by lush forests, breathing in the fresh air, feeling utterly relaxed.
The architectural style within the valley is ancient and charming, with cobblestone paths and wooden lofts that seem to transport you back in time. I particularly love the old stone bridge that spans the stream. Standing on the bridge, feeling the breeze on my face, the distant mountains are a feast for the eyes.
🍂Autumn is one of the most beautiful seasons in Valley of the Immortals, with mountains covered in red leaves, a tapestry of colors. Here, time seems to slow down, inviting you to stop and quietly savor this tranquility and beauty.
Of course, what's a trip without delicious food? The local farmhouse dishes in Valley of the Immortals are unforgettable, especially the made with fresh local ingredients, a true delight for the taste buds.
The guesthouses here, both in terms of service and environment, are top-notch. Staying here for a night, waking up to the sound of birds and opening the window to a view of mountains shrouded in mist, is truly a treat.
In summary, Valley of the Immortals is a place that makes you want to return again and again. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find a peaceful haven, then this is definitely a great choice.
People's Daily didn't deceive me, absolutely stunning! Wangxian Valley, a journey of chasing the moon among colorful clouds!
You must take a trip to Shangrao in Jiangxi to see the world of immortals on the cliffs. If there is truly a world of immortals on earth, I think it's right here. Hidden valleys, steep cliffs, and the scenery of mountains and waters, especially when the night falls and the lights are bright, it's too shocking, just like the fairyland in my dreams.
First, take the high-speed train to Shangrao high-speed train station, then go to the East Bus Station to take a direct bus to the scenic area, which only costs 30 yuan per person and takes about an hour and a half. The ticket price is 120 yuan, and the opening hours are from 8:00 to 22:00 (entry stops at 20:30). The scenic area is not very large, it is recommended to arrive before two o'clock in the afternoon, and be sure to leave time to enjoy the night view!
There are two particularly distinctive routes within the scenic area, among which the most worth visiting are the high mountain waterfalls, waterfalls, cliff homestays, Lanyue Bridge, and White Crane Cliff. Following the route, you can pass by the high mountain waterfalls, and you can capture the full view on the glass bridge, the lights at night are even more fairy-like! Lanyue Bridge is the most photogenic bridge in the scenic area, if you want to take a panoramic shot, you can walk further back, there is a resting plank road, where you can capture the waterwheel, Lanyue Bridge, and the idyllic scene of small bridges and flowing water.
The scenic area also offers Hanfu rental services, which, paired with the antique scenery, make for great photos. The snack street has chicken legs, sweet potatoes, octopus balls, fruit salads, dessert shops, and Hong Kong-style beef offal, as well as restaurants and bars for you to choose from. Travelers must pay attention to accommodation! Cliff homestays are expensive, but you can also choose countryside homestays outside the scenic area, which are very cost-effective and provide shuttle services.
Precautions include: bring an umbrella in case of unstable weather; wear comfortable shoes for walking and eating; bring a power bank in case your phone runs out of battery; if you want to take great shots, you can bring a drone; no need to bring food, as there are various foods and bars in the scenic area.
The night is the most beautiful time in Wangxian Valley, be sure to wait until the lights are on at night before leaving, and enjoy the night view! I hope this guide can help you enjoy Wangxian Valley happily and leave wonderful memories!

A charming scenic area in Jiangxi that has been sealed for a thousand years and is only now known to the public
🏨 Tongqian Mountain
A mountain in Jiangxi that has been sealed for a thousand years and is only now known to people.
💰Average cost: 99/person—Triple ticket for the scenic area
🚉Travel tips: 3 and a half hours from Nanchang, 1 hour self-drive from Shangrao
❤Recommended reason:
The camping base at Tongqian Mountain—Star Sky Room (where you can lie in bed and watch the stars) The camping base's hot pot + barbecue + grill, the ingredients are all from the local area, completely reassuring!
🌟Highlights:
Tongqian Mountain, a scenic area composed of multiple small attractions (recommended to visit Jiuxian Lake + Baihua Rock + Magpie Bridge Valley), has only been opened in recent years, so compared to mature scenic areas, the facilities are not perfect!
But it is also because of the short opening time that the scenery and mountain roads are especially pristine.
📝Note tips:
Since the scenic area is quite large, it is recommended to drive yourself or rent a car locally.
👍Most recommended:
1. Jiuxian Lake is the central attraction of Tongqian Mountain, where mountains and water blend, and the lake water is clear. In the past, the scenic area developed boat tours on the lake!
Later, it was detected that this is a national first-class drinking water source, so the lake tour project was also canceled, which shows how natural and pristine it is here!
2. Jiuxian Lake has a log bridge, you must walk on it, it's really thrilling! Remember to protect your phone, it is said that phones fall into the water every day!
After crossing the bridge, you can start climbing the mountain, which takes about 40 minutes in total, and you can enjoy the beauty of Jiuxian Lake from the top of the mountain!!
3. Baihua Rock—is the most surprising scenic spot, unexpectedly pristine, unexpectedly quaint, and unexpectedly beautiful!
As soon as you enter Baihua Rock, you can see the temple at the foot of the mountain—Guangfu Temple, which has a hundred-year history of murals, and the whole temple is built against the mountain!
Sometimes you need to bend over to move inside the temple because the mountain has become one with the temple.
4. Walking straight from the small path next to the temple, you can reach the best viewing point of Baihua Rock—the highest peak in the southeast!
Standing on the peak, you can see three provinces at a glance: Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian. At the foot of the mountain, you can see vast bamboo forests, and in the distance are layers of mountain peaks, truly breathtaking!!
5. Compared with Jiuxian Lake and Baihua Rock, Magpie Bridge Valley is not so pristine. It is a more thematic attraction, a wedding customs museum, which records the marriage customs and methods of China for thousands of years.
It is worth mentioning that there is even the marriage vow of Sun Yat-sen and Song Qingling, which was auctioned for a high price. Marriage used to be really ceremonial.
Shangrao
If you don't know where to go for the Dragon Boat Festival,
then come to Shangrao.
Located at the junction of four provinces,
Shangrao boasts rich folk culture
and is home to several famous mountains.
A trip along this route is very fulfilling,
and there are many off-the-beaten-path travel destinations waiting to be discovered.
