It is still worth visiting Shangrao. Although there are many people during the summer vacation, it is good that the people are dispersed in the valley. When the lights are turned on at night, it really feels like being in a fairy tale, very fairy 👍🏻
This man-made attraction is overly commercialized, but with the added lighting, it's quite nice at night. It's a great place for photography! Most young people go there for the photos. However, since photo studios are busy during the summer, one photographer often handles many clients in a single night, resulting in a somewhat shoddy production. This is a downfall for Wangxian Valley. If improvements aren't made, it will damage its reputation. I recommend planning your visit around 4 or 5 pm to focus on the evening and night views. During the day, Wangxian Valley is very hot and scorching, making it difficult to enjoy the scenery. A visit should only take three to five hours, as many activities take place at night. I also recommend staying in the small town outside the scenic area, which is quite convenient. Personally, I recommend avoiding accommodation on the mountain within the scenic area. It's so dark up there that it almost feels like the abode of the gods, so mortals should avoid it.

There were a lot of people, but the cable car management was rather chaotic, which felt unsafe. Everyone was scrambling for a seat, and I felt like I might get squeezed out later. I recommend adjusting the route in an orderly manner.
The attraction is quite interesting, not too large, and two hours seemed sufficient. The scenery is beautiful, and the autumn atmosphere is in full swing, with a bountiful harvest and a peaceful and prosperous country.
It is a very beautiful scenic area, an ancient village, located on the top of a mountain. You can take a cable car to get there and enjoy the scenery of autumn sun drying. There are performances at night, with bright lights and crowds of people. The Water Street and the Sky Street are very distinctive and worth visiting.

It is recommended to go in the afternoon or evening. In the afternoon, you can see the scenery of Nanchang in the distance. At night, you can see the Tengwang Pavilion under the lights. It is very domineering. It is said that it is free to recite the Tengwang Pavilion Preface. Haha, I won’t
The tour guide's explanation was vivid and interesting. He explained the origin of Tengwang Pavilion, the treasures of nature, the outstanding people and the stories of the people very thoroughly. The tour guide's handwriting was also very beautiful. I give him a thumbs up.

Maple Leaf Viewing at Lushan Botanical Garden in Autumn
360° view of Mount Lu
Saved by 249 users11625 positive reviews

Mount Lu, a mountain favored by the poet Li Bai, is renowned for its "Kuanglu, the most beautiful mountain in the world." Its seamless blend of natural wonders and cultural heritage has made it a captivating destination for countless tourists.
A dreamlike spectacle of clouds and mist.
Mount Lu is shrouded in mist for over 200 days of the year, creating high humidity and summer temperatures around 7°C lower than those at the foot of the mountain, making it a natural summer retreat. A morning stroll along Ruqin Lake reveals a wisp of mist curling across the surface, with pavilions and towers looming in the distance, resembling an ink painting. Climbing Wulao Peak, a sea of clouds swirls like a galloping horse, with peaks fading in and out of the mist, transforming into cascading "waterfalls" and condensing into "jade belts" entwining the mountain. Embracing this wonderland feels like stepping into a fairyland. As the setting sun pierces the clouds, the rosy glow gilds the sea of clouds, creating a breathtaking spectacle of brilliance.
Strange Peaks and Cascading Waterfalls, a Natural Epic
San Diequan, a signature sight of Lushan Mountain, awes the senses with its breathtaking, "cascading waters three thousand feet." The three cascades cascade 155 meters, their waters cascading like silver chains, their roar echoing through the valley. However, reaching the waterfalls requires a hike of over 1,300 steps, so wear non-slip shoes and be physically fit. The five distinct peaks of Wulao Peak resemble five elders sitting side by side. Climbing to the summit offers panoramic views of the vast expanse of Poyang Lake, and encountering a sea of clouds creates a sense of escaping into the heavens. Jinxiu Valley's thrilling cliff walks, traversed by jagged rocks, a soaring "sky bridge," and the mysterious and secluded Immortal Cave, all leave you marveling at the wonders of nature.
Each season is picturesque, each with its own unique charm.
In spring, Mount Lushan is shrouded in mist and covered in mountain blossoms, recreating the scene described by Bai Juyi: "The world's April flowers have faded, and the mountain temple's peach blossoms are in full bloom."
In summer, the lush greenery shades the sun, and the century-old villas of Guling Town are nestled in lush forests, offering a refreshing escape from the sweltering summer heat.
In late autumn, although the number of red leaves on Mount Lushan has decreased in recent years due to abnormal weather conditions, around mid-November, the maple leaves along the shores of Ruqin Lake and Lulin Lake still paint the mountains crimson. After the rain, the red leaves, drenched in water droplets, shimmer in the sunlight, creating a unique charm.
In winter, Mount Lushan occasionally displays the spectacular spectacle of rime, with jade-like branches swaying in the cold wind. While not as spectacular as Mount Huangshan, it possesses a uniquely elegant beauty.
Travel Tips, Practical Guide
During peak season, long lines for sightseeing buses are common within the scenic area, so it is recommended to avoid peak travel times or plan your route in advance. The winding mountain road from the North Gate to Guling Town has hundreds of bends. Those prone to motion sickness should prepare medication in advance. Transportation costs are higher on the mountain, and dining prices are slightly higher than at the foot of the mountain, so it's advisable to bring some light food. Hiking enthusiasts can try the classic "Easy West Tour + Challenging East Tour" route, which allows you to stroll through Ruqin Lake and experience the poetic beauty while tackling the precipitous peaks of Wulao Peak and San Diequan.
The beauty of Mount Lushan lies in the ethereal and dynamic clouds, the harmonious balance of strength and softness between the mountains and waters, and the myriad charms of the changing seasons. Whether strolling the flower paths to absorb the millennia-old poetic rhythm or pausing at Hanpokou to gaze at the sunrise, this renowned mountain, a blend of nature and humanity, promises a place of spiritual peace amidst its landscapes.
It's so beautiful, so we played for four days in Lushan. Because of the heavy fog, we didn't get to see Poyang Lake once. Even in sunny weather, the temperature was very comfortable. Although I didn't see it, I don't feel regretful. I will come again in the future.

I recommend the Jinsha Cableway for a round trip. It is within a small circle of the highlights, including the Giant Python and the Oriental Goddess. The cableway starts at 7:30 in the summer, and you can feel the cool breeze on the way up the mountain. The entire small circle can be completed in 3 hours.
Sanqing Mountain is really worth visiting. The scenery is beautiful. When the weather is good, the view is great. The rocks on the mountain are also in various shapes. I would recommend going there. It’s just that the queues for getting on and off the cable car are a bit long. It takes almost 2 hours to queue up to go down the mountain. It is recommended to park with your ticket to get some fee reduction, so that the experience will be better!

The scenic area is quite large, and there are many interesting shops. However, many tourists don’t know where the performance locations are as announced. The last human-machine show and fireworks show started a little late. It is recommended to make fewer iron flowers and advance the time of the drone show.
Although it's not large, it's truly comfortable. The beautiful hostess came out to greet me before I even entered. She was incredibly welcoming. While I was waiting to check in, the host enthusiastically poured me some tea. The kids even played Go and checkers in the lobby. When I booked the room, they didn't have enough rooms, so one required a staircase up. Upon arrival, the hostess said another room was available and upgraded me for free! There was also complimentary fruit tea in the room. While it's not in the county center, it's very close to Wunuzhou Island and Xiangao Ancient Town. The hostess also recommended nearby restaurants. It was a truly enjoyable stay!

We went to Taoyangli, including the Imperial Kiln Museum, which is quite worth a visit. It is very large and retains the old-style alley buildings. The green trees, red walls, blue sky and white clouds are matched together, which is full of charm.
A perfect five-star experience! The hotel's service was exceptional. From the front desk to the back office, every staff member was warm, attentive, and welcoming. The room was fully equipped and clean, making it a truly comfortable stay. The location is another highlight: just 1.5 kilometers from the famous Taoyangli Scenic Area, it's easily accessible by taxi or bike, and other attractions are equally convenient. The hotel also offers a free pottery workshop, and the hands-on experience was incredibly fun. This is definitely a gem I'll highly recommend to friends!

Wugong Mountain is the first choice for college students, so we also went to join in the fun. Although it rained heavily that day, it did not affect our mood for climbing the mountain. We will come back next year to see the beautiful scenery of Wugong Mountain.
The alpine meadows are truly worthy of their reputation! Absolutely beautiful! But the climb up is quite demanding!
I recommend taking the Zhong'an Cableway from Shigu Temple to the mountainside, then ascending from Diaomazhuang, taking the cableway down from Jinding, and then continuing down the mountain by the Zhong'an Cableway. This way, you'll avoid straining your legs and knees. Because Diaomazhuang is very steep, there's no cableway down, so you have to walk, which is especially tough on your knees.
It's definitely worth it!
The cableway is also well worth the money, reducing the climbing distance by 50%.

This is the only authentic chariot and horse burial pit discovered south of the Yangtze River.
The burial objects are not only numerous but also of high quality, bearing the distinct characteristics of a royal tomb. The amount of gold, in particular, exceeds that of any other Western Han Dynasty royal tomb discovered to date. (98% of the objects in the museum are original. I was once again struck by the thought and talent of the ancients.)
Thanks to Xiao Ding for the detailed explanation. 🌹
The museum boasts a rich collection of artifacts, many of which are original. Although only one phase has been developed, it already showcases the exquisite artifacts and unique historical significance of the Haihun State. Whether studying history, understanding the lives of individuals, or broadening your horizons, this is an excellent choice. The Haihun State coins and Li He's collection are particularly breathtaking. While the Haihun State also boasted terracotta warriors, the scale and exquisiteness of these exhibits are far superior.

I couldn't get in, so I could only buy a ticket to enter the exhibition. The porcelain inside was still amazing, but there were too many people. The Qianlong exhibition was very interesting, but there was a long queue for the Silent Buddha, so I gave up decisively because it was too hot.
I decided to go to Jingdezhen on a whim. I didn't make an appointment for free tickets, so it was very convenient to find tickets with explanations on Ctrip. If I had gone in by myself, I would probably have been lonely. The beautiful lady gave a good explanation, but there were a few exhibits that were skipped.
