2025 Yanshan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)

Just returned from Shangrao! This place is even more magical than imagined—the sea of clouds at Sanqing Mountain "flows," the night view of Wangxian Valley feels like stepping into a fantasy drama, and Huangling's autumn harvest turns the season into a vibrant palette. Here’s a super-detailed, tested guide to help you explore without a hitch! 🚗 Transportation Tips: How the Locals Get Around - Major Transport: Fly to Nanchang Changbei Airport (more flights, cheaper tickets), then take a 1-hour high-speed train to Shangrao Station (51 RMB, 30+ daily departures). For direct flights, consider Shangrao Sanqing Mountain Airport, but options are limited and better for nearby cities. - Local Transport: Attractions are spread out! Sanqing Mountain → Wangxian Valley → Huangling are 1-2 hours apart by car. Renting a car is recommended (we got an economy car for 200+ RMB for 2 days, plus 100+ RMB for gas—half the cost of a private car). - Pro Tip: Shangrao Station offers shuttle buses to Wangxian Valley (35 RMB/person) and Huangling (50 RMB/person), but schedules are fixed (8 AM/12 PM). Driving is more flexible if you're short on time! 🌿 48-Hour Itinerary (with Daily Costs) Day 1: Shangrao Station → Wangxian Valley (Stay in Wangxian Valley) - 10:00 Pick up the rental car at Shangrao Station, drive 1 hour to Wangxian Valley (via Dexi Highway, with stunning tunnel views through the mountains). - 11:30 Eat at "Wangxian Valley Baiwei Street" (must-try: fried dough wrapped in sticky rice cake with soybean powder, 3 RMB each; taro dumplings with spicy sauce, 10 RMB/bowl). - 13:00 Explore the scenic area (100 RMB/person; route: Visitor Center → Rainbow Slide → Longtan Waterfall → Mijin Entrance → Hu Clan Ancestral Hall → Yanpu Ancient Street → Baihe Cliff). ✨ Hidden Photo Spot: From "Baige Bridge," frame the waterfall, stilt houses, and glass platform. Best light at 2 PM. - 17:30 Wait for the night lights (18:30-19:00; head to "Lanyue Bridge" for a panoramic view—lights, mountain shadows, and water reflections look straight out of a fantasy drama). - 19:00 Enjoy the bonfire party (starts at 20:00 in Xitai Square; join the locals for free dancing. Try grilled kudzu root skewers afterward, 5 RMB each). - Stay: Choose a B&B outside the scenic area (saves 300+ RMB vs. cliffside lodgings. Recommended: "Wangxian Lodge," 180 RMB/night with breakfast, 5-minute walk to the scenic area). Day 2: Wangxian Valley → Sanqing Mountain (Stay at Sanqing Mountain Base) - 7:30 Capture the morning mist at Wangxian Valley (7:00-8:00; shoot at Longtan Waterfall for ethereal mountain-and-architecture shots). - 9:00 Drive 1.5 hours to Sanqing Mountain (via Sanqing Mountain Tourist Route; stop at viewpoints for free "layered peaks" photos). - 11:00 Explore Sanqing Mountain (185 RMB/person for ticket + cable car; route: Waisimxi Cable Car → West Coast → Sanqing Palace → Sunshine Coast → Nanqing Garden → Giant Python Out of the Mountain → Oriental Goddess). ✨ Must-See: Walk the "cliffside plank path" at West Coast around noon for moving clouds; "Giant Python Out of the Mountain" looks majestic at 3 PM. - 13:00 Eat at "Sanqing Renjia" (try the mountain frog stew with mushrooms, 68 RMB/small portion; pair with stir-fried kudzu noodles). - 17:00 Take the cable car down; stay at "Sanqing Villa" (150 RMB/night, includes ginger tea; 10-minute walk to the cable car station). Day 3: Sanqing Mountain → Huangling → Return - 8:00 Drive 1.5 hours to Huangling (via Dewu Highway; stop at the free "Autumn Harvest Viewing Platform" near the scenic area). - 10:00 Explore Huangling (145 RMB/person for ticket + cable car; head straight to "Autumn Harvest Square"). ✨ Photo Tip: Use your phone’s zoom at "Photography Bar Viewing Platform" for vibrant shots of drying crops. At 1 PM, visit "Flower Stream Water Street" for slow-motion shots under oil-paper umbrellas. - 12:30 Eat at "Tianjie Restaurant" (try freshly steamed rice cakes with bean sprouts and shrimp, 10 RMB; take home fermented fish as a souvenir, 25 RMB/bag). - 14:00 Visit "Terraced Cloud Cable" (30 RMB/person; ride the cable car to the terraces for golden rice fields and Hui-style villages). - 16:00 Drive 2 hours back to Shangrao Station, return the car, and depart. 💰 Cost Breakdown (Total for 2: 1200+ RMB) - Transport: Car rental 200 + gas 150 + train (Nanchang-Shangrao) 102 = 452 RMB - Lodging: Wangxian Valley 180 + Sanqing Mountain 150 = 330 RMB - Tickets: Wangxian Valley 200 + Sanqing Mountain 370 + Huangling 290 = 860 RMB - Food: ~300 RMB for 3 days (under 100 RMB per meal) - Total: 1942 RMB (~971 RMB/person; can drop to 600+ RMB with hostels and simple meals). ⚠️ Pitfall Avoidance (Lessons Learned the Hard Way!) 1. Skip buying trekking poles at Sanqing Mountain—free wooden sticks are available (return them after use). 2. Avoid "cliffside lodgings" at Wangxian Valley (1000+ RMB/night). B&Bs outside offer equally great night views. 3. Don’t pay for "autumn harvest experiences" at Huangling—just grab a corn cob for free photos. 4. Sunscreen! Sanqing Mountain’s high altitude means strong UV rays. SPF 50+ is a must. Shangrao’s beauty is "a new view at every turn"—one moment you’re gazing at waterfalls in a canyon, the next you’re above the clouds, then wandering an ancient village bathed in autumn colors. This "sense of transition" is pure magic and worth the trip!

#springwander In the deep mountains, amidst the sea of flowers, lies the ancient Yuzhang prefecture from 1000 years ago! A few days ago, I braved the rain and mistakenly entered an enchanted mountain, staying in Gexian Village at the foot of Gexian Mountain. I once deemed the plum blossoms of West Lake as the ultimate beauty on earth, But I never imagined the plum blossom season amidst the misty rain of Jiangnan. I overlooked Hongdu's new prefecture and Yuzhang's ancient city. Below the mountain, thousands of households glow with lights, sparse shadows crisscross, and prosperity blooms in full. In the forest, the empty mountains echo, flowing clouds unfurl, as if there might be immortals.. 🌸Blossoming Period: Late February, currently in full bloom, estimated to last until early March. 📅Time: Photos taken on February 21-22 during overcast and rainy weather, very serene, recommended to stay at least one day and one night. #familytrip #localguides #familytrip 🕰️Business Hours:#familytrip

After driving for an hour from Shangrao Sanqingshan to Wangxiangu, here are some honest and practical suggestions. Before you go, make sure to do your research. Here are some personal insights: 1. Which one to visit? Nearby Wunvzhou, Gexiancun, and Wangxiangu are all man-made attractions, mainly featuring night lights with different styles. Wunvzhou has more performances, Gexiancun seems to have dragon dances, and Wangxiangu has beautiful lighting. Choose based on your preference; I personally like Wangxiangu's style. 2. Is it worth visiting? For me, it was worth it. I was attracted by the architectural layout, and the real scene is not much different from the online photos. It's worth it if you can take good photos. There are many tour groups, so choose to go during the off-season to enhance your experience. 3. Visiting time: Once you exit with a ticket, you can't re-enter. You can enter around 3 PM; the core area is a bit far from the entrance. Arrive at the core area around 5 PM to see the sunset and night view. The blue hour (half an hour after sunset) is particularly beautiful! The night view is also stunning! 4. What's inside? Honestly, there's not much to do. It's mainly an ancient-style snack street and cultural shops, mainly for photography. We took photos until 9 PM before returning to the homestay. The performances are not very impressive. There's a glass walkway, but compared to Sanqingshan's walkway, it's not much. Rafting is closed in autumn and winter. 5. Are there many mosquitoes and insects? In autumn and winter, there aren't many mosquitoes and insects, but bring mosquito repellent just in case. There are many trees and water, so there will definitely be some insects. 6. Is it tiring? The paths inside are relatively flat, so it's not strenuous to walk. 7. How are the prices inside? Slightly more expensive than outside, but acceptable. A Shangrao chicken leg is 15 yuan, a grilled squid is 10 yuan, and a bowl of shrimp vermicelli is 20 yuan. You can bring some snacks if you want. 8. Photography spots: The two best spots for photos are Baige Bridge and Baihe Cliff. Other places also offer good photo opportunities. The blue hour (half an hour after sunset) is beautiful for photos! If you have a drone, bring it! Some popular angles can only be captured by drones! 9. Renting Hanfu: I researched many Hanfu stores before going. There are many pitfalls, like charging extra for photo negatives. It's better to rent and take photos yourself to avoid these issues. I didn't find one I liked. 10. Accommodation: Whether to stay in the scenic area depends on your budget. If you have a high budget, you can stay in a homestay inside the scenic area, which is convenient for seeing the sunrise the next day. If your budget is low, you can stay in a homestay outside the scenic area, which is also close. Personally, after seeing the night view, there's no regret. Scenic spot: Wangxiangu Location: Wangxian Township, Guangxin District, Shangrao City Ticket: 120 yuan/person Transportation: Convenient from Yushan South and Shangrao stations. #Wangxiangu #WangxianguTravelGuide #WangxianguInJiangxi

Jiangxi is really hot recently I also went there with my friends. I also checked in at the famous Gexian Village I have to say, it's really beautiful . The weather was bad when I went there, but I didn't expect that this place would be more beautiful when it rains. This time we took the high-speed train to Shangrao Station. There is a special line that goes directly to Gexian Village, or you can take a taxi. Moreover, as it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are still quite a lot of tourists here. High-speed rail tickets are also difficult to buy, so it is recommended to plan your trip in advance. This scenic area is quite large, and you can also climb mountains. There are also rich performances at night. It is recommended to stay for 2 days and 1 night. There is the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, lantern viewing and riddle guessing, dragon lanterns, ancient magic tricks, and acrobatic performances. I heard that these are new performances for the National Day holiday, so it is a good opportunity to experience them if you go there recently. . 📷Share a few check-in spots inside . 1️⃣Zhongmiao Pavilion In the center of the scenic area, there will be artificial smoke on the lake during the day, which makes it look very fairy-like. There are many koi in the lake, and you can take a boat to feed them, and the fish will swim with the boat. 2️⃣ Lingbao Fairy Street & Lantern Street You can come here to see the night view, with thousands of lights in the sky 🏮, as if you have traveled back to the heyday of the Tang Dynasty! 3⃣️Moon Cliff Lane A very distinctive market, great for taking photos, as if it were the world in Spirited Away. 4⃣️Sky Mirror Terrace You need to take a cable car to go up. There will be a sea of ​​clouds after the rain. It was raining when we went there, so we couldn't see any scenery, which was a pity. 5⃣️Dust-washing door There was smoke all day, and taking photos of Hanfu was very fairy-like. . 🍜Food guide There are many restaurants in the scenic area, ranging from snacks to restaurants. You can try Qianshan Soup Noodles, which is next to Zhongmiao Pavilion. By the way, the side dish there is delicious. . 🏠Accommodation Guide I stayed in the scenic area, which made it more convenient for sightseeing the next day. I stayed at Zhenshan Hotel, which had a good environment. I could also eat at the Tianyuan Restaurant next door. . Where to go on weekends? Come to Gexian Village to spend a few days in heaven

Alright, Gexian Village! This has become a very popular tourist destination in recent years, known as the "Immortal Vacation Resort" and the "Little Kyoto of Jiangxi." 1. Immortal Mountain Blessings, Cultural Heritage: · The soul of Gexian Village is the Gexian Mountain behind it, a famous Taoist and Buddhist sacred site (where both religions coexist on the mountain). Legend has it that the Taoist Ge Xuan ascended to immortality here, so it is considered the "Number One Spiritual Treasure Mountain in China," and blessings and wishes made here are very effective. · You can take a cable car up the mountain to overlook the sea of clouds and mountains, visit the Gexian Hall at the summit, and experience the misty fairyland atmosphere. 2. Ancient Style Ambiance, Immersive Experience: · The resort area at the foot of the mountain is built entirely in the style of the Tang and Song dynasties, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, and misty scenery. Especially at night when the lights come on, it feels like traveling back to a prosperous era thousands of years ago, perfect for photography. · Visitors can rent Hanfu for free (or pay for more luxurious ones), for an immersive garden tour, ideal for friends who love ancient-style photography. 3. Spectacular Performances Not to Be Missed: · "Return to Truth" Water Screen Movie Show: A large-scale live light and shadow show held every night in front of Zhongmiao Pavilion, combining water screen movies, lights, flames, acrobatics, and other elements, telling the story of the immortal Ge Xuan. The visual effects are stunning and it’s a must-see. · Light Show & Drone Performance: Zhongmiao Pavilion also hosts a brilliant light show, and during holidays, hundreds of drones perform formations in the night sky, creating various patterns that are very cool. · There are also daily small interactive performances such as street acrobatics and ancient-style dances. 4. Leisure Vacation, Food, and Fun: · Streets like Crescent Alley and Lingbao Immortal Street gather various snacks, restaurants, tea houses, and cultural creative shops, where you can taste local Jiangxi cuisine as well as food from across the country. · The park has multiple high-quality hotels and guesthouses, perfect for staying and slowly enjoying a 2-day, 1-night slow life experience. Practical Information and Travel Tips · Location: Yanshan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. · How to Get There: · High-speed train to Shangrao Station: After exiting, there are two options: 1. Taxi about 1.5 hours; 2. Take a direct tourist shuttle bus from Shangrao East Bus Station to Gexian Village (about 1.5 hours, fixed schedule). · Airplane: Arrive at Shangrao Sanqingshan Airport, then take a taxi or transfer to the village. · Ticket Prices: · Entrance ticket: about ¥100 (price varies by season). · Round-trip cable car ticket: about ¥130 (strongly recommended, the uphill journey is long and the scenery is excellent). · Combo ticket: usually entrance plus round-trip cable car ticket is more cost-effective, about ¥220-230. · Note: The "Return to Truth" show is included in the entrance ticket, no extra ticket needed. · Recommended Visit Duration: 2 days and 1 night is the best choice. · Day 1: Arrive in the afternoon, check in → explore the ancient village, take Hanfu photos → enjoy local food → watch the "Return to Truth" light and shadow show and drone performance at night → night tour of the illuminated immortal village. · Day 2: Take the cable car up Gexian Mountain → pray and watch the sea of clouds → descend at noon and return. · Best Seasons: · Spring and autumn: most comfortable climate, higher chance of seeing the sea of clouds. · Winter: the ancient village at the foot of the mountain has snow scenery, which is uniquely charming; however, the cable car may close due to weather. · Summer: a great place to escape the heat, but be sure to use sun protection and mosquito repellent. · Accommodation Suggestions: · If budget allows: choose hotels inside the scenic area (such as Zhenshan Inn, Yue Ran Xianju, Xixin Courtyard, etc.), which include entrance and cable car tickets, unlimited sightseeing bus rides, and the best experience. · If on a budget: you can choose guesthouses outside the scenic area, but you may need to buy or verify tickets each time you enter or exit, which is less convenient. In summary, Gexian Village is a destination that successfully combines natural scenery, religious culture, and modern tourism vacation experiences. It is very suitable for: · Young people who love photography and Hanfu culture. · Families or couples looking for a short-term relaxation and leisure vacation. · Visitors interested in Taoist culture who want to pray and find peace.

This treasure town tucked away in northeastern Jiangxi offers ancient villages quieter than Hongcun and sea of clouds that rival Huangshan. Here’s a well-organized guide to unlock this low-key romance~ 🌿Top 5 Must-Visit Attractions (with Best Visiting Times) 1. Wuyuan Huangling The ancient village hanging on the cliff is absolutely stunning! During the autumn harvest, every household’s rooftop is covered with pumpkins and chili peppers, creating a palette of orange, red, and green. Morning mist wraps around the horse-head walls, and walking on the bluestone paths in Hanfu instantly turns you into a scene from an ancient drama. ⚠️Tips: After taking the cable car up, visit the Autumn Scenery Viewing Platform first; the light is best before 10 AM. Watching the sunset at the terraced rice fields’ cloud cable in the evening is breathtaking~ 2. Sanqing Mountain Rated by "Chinese National Geography" as the “Most Beautiful Granite”! The Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain and Goddess Peak appear faintly in the mist. Walking on the skywalk feels like stepping on clouds. Recommended to stay on the mountain; climb Yujing Peak at 5 AM to watch the sunrise. When the sea of clouds surges, it feels like being in heaven. Remember to bring a jacket—the wind at the summit is strong~ 3. Poyang Lake Wetland Park The autumn at China’s largest freshwater lake is so healing! The sea of smartweed flowers forms a pink ocean, migratory birds fly south here for winter, and riding a boat through the reed marshes, you can see flocks of white cranes and swans skimming the water. Navigate to “Wujincha Pier,” rent a bike to ride along the lake—every snapshot looks like a Japanese-style fresh photo~ 4. Gexian Village A fairy-tale town with night views that will make you scream! When the lantern corridor lights up, it feels like stepping into "Spirited Away." There’s a light show at 8 PM, and the water curtain movie combined with ancient architecture is super impressive. Stay a night at Gexian Village Hotel, watch Taoists practicing Tai Chi at the Tai Chi Square in the morning, sip some Gexian tea, and fully immerse yourself in the experience~ 5. Likeng Ancient Village A more pristine ancient village with fewer tourists than Huangling! A stream runs through the village, flanked by old houses with white walls and black tiles. Villagers wash vegetables and clothes by the stream, full of everyday life charm. The century-old camphor tree at the village entrance is perfect for photos. Sitting on the stone bench under the tree, listening to elders tell stories of the ancient village, time slows down~ 🍜 Shangrao Food You Can’t Miss - Steamed Dishes: Must-try steamed pork and steamed fish wrapped in glutinous rice, soft and fragrant, especially delicious with chili sauce. Recommended old-brand restaurants in Likeng. - Dengzhan Guo: The soul of Shangrao breakfast! The rice batter skin looks like little lanterns, filled with shredded radish and dried shrimp, pan-fried crispy outside and tender inside. Street stalls sell 3 for 5 yuan. - Steamed Rice Cake: Rice cakes steamed in wooden buckets, topped with shiitake mushrooms and minced meat, sprinkled with chili powder. Freshly steamed, the aroma fills the street. - Jiuzao Fish: A specialty of Poyang Lake! Fish dried and marinated in glutinous rice wine lees, steamed to bring out a strong wine aroma. Perfect as souvenirs~ 🚗 Itinerary & Accommodation Suggestions - 3-Day Highlights: Day 1 Sanqing Mountain (stay on the mountain to watch sunrise) → Day 2 Huangling + Likeng (stay at Huangling Autumn Scenery Homestay) → Day 3 Gexian Village (enjoy night views) - Accommodation Picks: Huangling recommends “Autumn Scenery Boutique Stay,” with terraced fields right outside the window; in the city, choose near “Shangrao Wanda” for convenient dining and shopping. - Travel Tips: There are direct buses from Shangrao High-Speed Rail Station to Wuyuan and Sanqing Mountain; walking is recommended inside ancient villages; for Sanqing Mountain, take the cable car (climbing is very tiring). The beauty of Shangrao is hidden in the morning mist, in the smoke of ancient villages, and in the autumn sunshine. No need to rush here—walk slowly and you’ll encounter the most healing scenery~
