In Jiangxi, there is a mountain that captivates at first sight. It is low-key but quietly amazes through the seasons in the morning mist and sunset. This time, I reserved the entire weekend for Yichun Mingyue Mountain—to see a bamboo forest wrapped in clouds and mist, to soak in a warm, jade-like hot spring, to slow down my steps, listen to the wind, watch the mountains, and smell the tea fragrance. 📍 Arrival and Transportation 1️⃣🚅 Take the high-speed train to Yichun Station, then a taxi about 40 minutes to Mingyue Mountain Scenic Area. 2️⃣🚌 You can also depart from Yichun Bus Station, where there are direct buses/tour lines to the scenic area. 3️⃣🚗 Driving from Nanchang takes about 2.5 hours, with nice scenery along the highway. 🌲 Itinerary Day 1｜Hot Springs and Mountain Scenery Morning: After arrival, check in at Mingyue Mountain Metropark International Hot Spring Resort Hotel. The balcony offers views of distant mountains and clouds—every snapshot looks like wallpaper. Afternoon: Change into a bathrobe and enter the outdoor hot spring area. Soaking in the steaming hot spring pool, surrounded by layered mountain forests, with mist and steam intertwining, it feels like entering a fairyland. My favorite pools are the medicinal pool and the petal pool, with moderate temperatures and a faint herbal scent that relaxes the whole body. Evening: After the hot springs, enjoy a meal of Jiangxi flavors—steamed pork, clay pot soup, fried rice noodles... A stomach nourished by mountains and waters is the happiest. Day 2｜Hiking and Sea of Clouds Early morning: Take the first cable car up the mountain. Standing inside the cable car overlooking the valley with swirling clouds and mist, you really want to press pause on all worries at that moment. Easy hiking route: ✅ It’s recommended to take the cable car directly to the summit, then take the sightseeing bus to the 1420 Train Camp, where there are tents and train accommodations. If you want to stay overnight, you can choose to stay here. There is also a small train directly to Yangshimu Scenic Area. ✅ Then take the sightseeing bus directly to Moon Lake, which has beautiful scenery, clear water, and many small fish. ✅ Next, pass through Xingyue Cave to see the Qingyun Plank Road, which is 3.1 kilometers long and can only be hiked on foot, taking about an hour and a half. The essence of Mingyue Mountain is here. If you don’t want to finish it, you can return along the way. ✅ After lunch, take the cable car to the mid-section, then hike to see the waterfall. Along the way, you will pass through bamboo sea, flying waterfalls, and strange rocks, with the air filled with the moist scent of fresh grass. Must-visit spots: 1️⃣ Yun Valley Waterfall: The roar of water and mist hitting your face. 2️⃣ Moon Lake: Crystal-clear water that refreshes the mind. 3️⃣ Bamboo Sea Plank Road: Sunlight penetrates bamboo leaves, casting dappled shadows like flowing light. Tickets: 90 RMB, round-trip cable car 150 RMB, sightseeing bus at the foot 10 RMB/one way, sightseeing bus on the mountain 15 RMB/one way, small train round trip 100 RMB 💡 Personal Tips 1️⃣ It’s best to visit the hot spring area in the evening when there are fewer people and beautiful views, and you can watch the sunset fade into night. 2️⃣ Mingyue Mountain has a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so bring a light jacket. 3️⃣ The mountain is humid, so remember to bring non-slip shoes for safer hiking. 4️⃣ To capture the sea of clouds, go up the mountain early in the morning and check the weather forecast; the best time is after rain on a clear day. 【Accommodation Recommendation】 It’s recommended to stay in Wentang Town and choose a hot spring hotel. The hot springs here contain selenium, one of the few places in the country. The Metropark International Hot Spring Resort Hotel is recommended, with both outdoor and indoor hot springs. 【Food Recommendation】 We tried two good places: one is Ganxi Mingzao right at the hotel entrance, and the other is Mingyue Family Banquet in town. Both taste great, and you can also buy selenium-rich rice. That day, on the cable car, I looked down at a dream woven from bamboo sea and cloud sea; in the hot spring pool, I looked up at a sky full of stars. The beauty of Mingyue Mountain is not a moment of amazement but slowly soaking your heart over a whole weekend—like its hot springs, unhurried and just right. If your life needs a deep breath, come to Yichun Mingyue Mountain.

#WinterTravel In Yichun, Jiangxi, there is an ancient temple that is seriously underestimated - Yangshan Qiyin Zen Temple. Built in the Tang Dynasty, this temple has a history of more than 1,000 years, and its name was inscribed by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang himself. Famous people from past dynasties such as Xin Qiji and Zhu Xi have visited this place. As the ancestral temple of the Weiyang School, the first of the five schools and seven sects of Zen, the Yangshan Qiyin Zen Temple, and the thoughts and relics of its founder, Master Huiji, occupy an important position in the entire Chinese Zen community.

After thousands of years of wind and rain, the temple has been repaired and destroyed many times. The existing building has been gradually rebuilt on the original site since 2006. Several thousand-year-old ginkgo trees planted in the temple bear witness to its long history. Yangshan Qiyin Zen Temple is built on the mountain, and its architectural layout is like terraced fields. In ancient times, the people of Yangshan believed in the mountain god, and during the Jin Dynasty, there were great medical doctors who made elixirs on the mountain. Although the temple is not large, it has buildings such as the bell tower, drum tower, and main hall. It is an excellent place to pray and make wishes in winter.

Booking Reminders: · Summit tents must be booked in advance via the official "Wugong Mountain" WeChat public account or platforms like Trip.com, especially during holidays. · Tickets and cable car tickets can also be purchased online in advance to save queuing time. 3. Safety Tips: · Check weather forecasts before traveling to avoid rain, snow, and other severe weather. · Some sections like "Despair Slope" are steep and difficult; proceed according to your ability. · It is recommended to download the official electronic map for offline use as some sections have no signal. This guide ensures classic experiences while leaving ample flexibility and comfort. Wugong Mountain’s alpine meadows, sea of clouds sunrise, and outdoor culture will surely leave a deep impression. If you have special needs for any part of the itinerary or want more detailed information, I am happy to help you adjust further.

Hidden gem tourist spot near Nanchang—Jing'an Jiulingjian. With an elevation of 1794 meters, it is the highest peak in northwest Jiangxi and known as the mini Wugong Mountain. I finally conquered it! Transportation routes: There are mainly two routes; here I will focus on the first one, which is also the route we climbed. 📝 Route 1 (see Guide Map 1): Navigate to Jiulingjian Sports Tourism Resort Area, passing Jiuling Chaoguan Post Station, arrive at the scenic area entrance to buy tickets and park. Then walk along the road to Jiuling Star Resort Hotel, which is the starting point of this route. ➡️ Route conditions: Upon reaching Jiuling Star Resort Hotel, there is a grass skiing field nearby, which serves as a ski resort in winter. The cable car station is also near here for ascending. This hiking section is particularly steep 😰 and one of the more difficult parts. It takes about 30 minutes on foot (time varies depending on pace) to reach the cable car endpoint, marked with a ⭕ on the tour map. After that, the route’s elevation changes are minor, so elderly and children can enjoy the area without too much fatigue. Continue to Jiuling Waterfall, where there is a sightseeing cable car connecting one mountain peak to another. If you don’t take the cable car, this section is also quite challenging, with a downhill followed by an uphill, taking about 1 hour to reach Jiulingjian (1794m). The final section is from Jiulingjian continuing forward, all downhill, returning to Jiuling Star Resort Hotel, about 1 hour. This last part also features a forest slide attraction, 30 RMB per person, suitable for kids. We took our time with breaks and completed the whole route in about 3 hours. 🎫 Tickets for this route cost 60 RMB; buying a next-day ticket in advance is 25.9 RMB, and the cable car up costs 55 RMB. 📝 Route 2 (see Route Map 2): A pure hiking route and free of charge. 🤓 Navigate to Jiuling Waterfall Boardwalk. The entire route is about 5 kilometers, passing three waterfall spots, round trip on the same path, taking about 4.5-5 hours, and can reach the foot of the windmill. The uphill route consists entirely of cement steps plus gentle slopes. The route is well developed but still being improved. I plan to try this hiking route next time 😎 Little tips ✏️: The wind at the summit is very strong, and the fog is thick. For those preparing to go now, it is recommended to bring a thicker jacket. The summit scenery rivals Wugong Mountain, so we also call it the mini Wugong Mountain here. Personally, I think it’s worth climbing. The scenic area is still being continuously improved.

Everyone, I went to Wugong Mountain last year and posted a bunch of photos of the sea of clouds and meadows on my social feed, and I got bombarded with questions! “Where is this?” “Is it hard to hike?” “Can beginners do it?” Today, I’m sharing my personal Wugong Mountain hiking guide with you—routes, gear, and pitfalls to avoid, all packed with useful info. Follow this, and you too can be a “sea of clouds observer” at the summit! 🔍 Why is Wugong Mountain the top choice in the hiking community? - Scenery so stunning it’s almost unfair: Tens of thousands of acres of meadows spread like a green carpet on the summit. When the sea of clouds rolls in, it feels like stepping into a fairyland, especially at sunrise and sunset—your camera’s memory will be full in no time! - Friendly routes: There are easy routes for beginners and challenging ones for seasoned hikers. You can finish it in a weekend, so even busy workers can find time to go. - Few crowds and great photo ops: I took the Longshan Village route, avoiding the crowded main entrance area. Along the way, it’s mostly experienced hikers, so no waiting in line for photos—you can shoot however you want. 📅 Classic 2-day 1-night route: Longshan Village → Fayuankai → Golden Summit (beginner-friendly version) 🔹 Day 1: Longshan Village to Fayuankai (light hiking, 5 hours, relaxed sightseeing all the way) - Transportation: Take a taxi from Pingxiang Station to Longshan Village (about 1 hour, 60-80 RMB). Just tell the driver “Longshan Village hiking start point,” locals will know. - Route: Longshan Village → Windmill Pass → Fayuankai, about 12 km total. The climb isn’t steep. You’ll pass through bamboo forests and cross small streams. The meadows gradually open up in the second half, super healing! - Accommodation: You must stay at “Sea of Clouds Inn” in Fayuankai! The owner is a local uncle, and his dried bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork and free-range chicken stewed with mushrooms are delicious. Rooms are clean, about 150 RMB per person including breakfast and dinner—great value. 🔹 Day 2: Fayuankai to Golden Summit and descend (watch the sea of clouds sunrise, totally worth the effort) - Sunrise rush: Get up at 5 AM (don’t sleep in!), hike from Fayuankai to Golden Summit, about 1.5 hours to the viewing platform. When the sun pops out over the rolling sea of clouds, all your tiredness is gone! - Golden Summit check-in: Take photos at the “Wugong Mountain Highest Peak” stone tablet and the glass skywalk (not for those afraid of heights, but the view is amazing). Plenty of material for your social feed. - Descend: Take the “Level 2 cable car + scenic bus” from Golden Summit (cable car 65 RMB, bus 20 RMB). Easy and time-saving. If you don’t want to hike back, this is the way to go! 🎒 Gear list: What you need to be a “hiking pro” - Must-have three-piece set: - Trekking poles (buy at the base, 2 for 10 RMB, saves half your energy going up); - Hiking shoes (don’t wear canvas shoes! The mountain paths are slippery. My friend wore Converse and almost ended up rolling down like a “rolling gourd”); - Windbreaker (big temperature difference at the summit, wear short sleeves in the morning and take off your jacket at noon. The windbreaker is windproof and lightweight). - Bonus items: - Headlamp (essential for early sunrise, phone flashlight isn’t bright enough); - Sunglasses + sun hat (meadows have no shade, UV rays can darken your skin by three shades); - Thermos (a sip of hot water on the mountain instantly boosts happiness). ⚠️ Pitfall guide: I’ve stepped on these “mines” for you! - Don’t stay in expensive tents at Golden Summit! The inn at Fayuankai is cheaper and more comfortable. The tents at Golden Summit are cramped like “sardine cans” and have no hot water for showers. - Don’t bring too many snacks! Prices on the mountain are high (bottled water 10 RMB, instant noodles 25 RMB). The inn includes meals, just bring some energy bars or beef jerky. - Don’t be fooled by “light hiking”! Unless you take cable cars all the way, your backpack with water, jacket, and snacks will weigh 5 to 10 pounds. Choosing a comfortable backpack is very important. 🍜 Food and lodging: Eat well and rest comfortably even while hiking - What to eat on the mountain: The dried bamboo shoots at “Sea of Clouds Inn” in Fayuankai are freshly dug, the free-range chicken is tender, and the soup is so good you’ll lick the bowl. At Golden Summit, “Starry Sky Inn” offers self-heating rice meals for emergencies. - Must-eats at the base: Near Pingxiang Station, “Old Ping Lane Lotus Blood Duck” serves spicy stir-fried duck blood and meat that’s super satisfying; “Yang Huzi Rice Noodles” has a rich broth, perfect for breakfast. 🚶‍♀️ Final reminders before the trip - Check the weather! The “Wugong Mountain Weather” public account updates daily. Go on sunny days, avoid rainy days (mountain paths get slippery and dangerous). - Save your energy! Don’t rush at the start. Walk at a steady pace and rest often, or your legs will be “done” the next day. - Safety first! Stay with your group, don’t wander off for photos. Signal is weak on the mountain, download offline maps in advance. Everyone, Wugong Mountain is truly a hiking paradise you’ll want to visit again and again! Save this guide, grab your friends for a weekend trip, and you’ll be the “hiking expert” in your social circle! Don’t forget to like and bookmark, or you might lose it while scrolling~

There are only two places in the world that produce selenium-rich mineral water, one in France and the other right here in our beautiful Mingyue Mountain, Yichun, Jiangxi. The mineral water in France is cold, like Evian, but our mineral water here is hot spring water. Selenium-rich spring water is very beneficial to the human body, especially effective for diseases such as rheumatism, arthritis, periarthritis of the shoulder, lumbar and cervical spondylosis. It can also help prevent cancer, which is why people here live long lives. We went to the Mingyue Mountain Metropark International Hot Spring. We bought a package that included a stay at the Metropark Hotel, unlimited access to the hot springs, and the ability to soak again before checking out the next day. It was such a great deal! The package price online is 528 yuan, and remember it’s for a standard room in Building 2. I bought mine from a local aunt I know for only 480 yuan. There are more than 70 indoor and outdoor pools here, all kinds, including medicinal pools, zodiac pools, and more. But each time we try to visit different pools, soaking in at most a dozen or so, haha. Be sure to visit the infinity pool up on the mountain—it's a paradise on earth! Perfect for taking stunning photos. After soaking, my hair feels soft and my skin smooth. Also, the hot spring water here is amazing; whenever I lose my voice or have a hoarse throat from eating too spicy food back home, soaking once in the hot spring makes it much better.

This is the Yangshimu Scenic Area, a branch of Wugong Mountain, located in Ji'an, Jiangxi. It only takes 3.5 hours to drive from Changsha! We arrived at 10 AM on October 2nd during National Day, and there was no queue for the cable car! The scenery is stunning! 🎈Location: Navigate to "Yangshimu Scenic Area" or "Anfu Wugong Mountain Visitor Center." These two scenic spots are together, so you can plan to visit both in two days! Anfu Wugong Mountain is another main entrance to Wugong Mountain and leads to the Golden Summit! Nearby is Mingyue Mountain, which you can also visit if you have more time! 🎈Accommodation: "Rongyuan Hot Spring Hotel." After hiking, soaking in the hot spring at night is incredibly relaxing! The hot spring hotel is just a few hundred meters from the Anfu Wugong Mountain Visitor Center. There are many farmhouse restaurants right at the hotel entrance, very convenient. There are also many guesthouses nearby, about a hundred yuan per night, all newly built~ 🎈Travel Tips: 1⃣️Yangshimu ticket is 100 RMB, round-trip cable car 150 RMB, round-trip sightseeing bus 20 RMB. These are must-buys and save you from walking 99% of the mountain paths. You only need to walk on the sightseeing plank road, which is very easy! Elderly and children can easily finish the walk~ 2⃣️Downhill slide 30 RMB, optional. It only takes a few minutes to walk down. If you like sliding, you can try it~ 3⃣️Small train round-trip 100 RMB, do not buy it! The path to Mingyue Mountain is also a plank road, but the scenery is not as good as Yangshimu. Visiting both scenic spots in one day is not enough time. The small train route has little scenery, purely a waste of money 💰 and time. 4⃣️Hot springs: A must! If you don’t stay at the hotel, the price is 138 RMB per person. Buying at the hotel front desk is 182 RMB for two people. There are many pools, and the big round pool in the middle is beautiful!! There is also a wave pool, with waves starting around 8 PM, very fun! It’s recommended to ask the staff about the timing so you don’t miss it!
