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

#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

The Zhongmiao Pavilion's boat and koi fish scene becomes magical when misty, resembling the world of "Spirited Away." Instead of expensive costume rentals, just bring your own hanfu or plain-colored dress and paper umbrella to capture perfect traditional Chinese style photos. Standing on the wooden boat among swimming koi fish creates movie-like scenes, all at virtually no cost. When night falls, Lingbao Fairy Street lights up like the "Tang Dynasty Night Market." Hanfu rental in the scenic area is affordable, costing just a few dozen yuan. Walking on stone paths with a lantern under the illuminated eaves creates social media-worthy shots without additional venue fees. The ancient-style food street in Crescent Alley is perfect for capturing local life. Simply use your phone's wide-angle lens to capture the vibrant atmosphere. You can enjoy local snacks while taking photos, with most dishes priced between CNY 10-20. For a spiritual experience, take the cable car up Mount Gexian. While the cable car requires a fee, the Tianjing Platform and Grand Gexian Temple are worth it. Hang prayer tags and red strings at the summit amidst the clouds. Capture sunrise over the sea of clouds in the morning or golden sunset in the evening, with temple bells echoing through the mountains, creating a zen atmosphere. Photos taken here offer both beauty and tranquility. Activity Guide: Maximum Fun, Minimum Spending Spring in Gexian Village offers numerous activities without straining your wallet. The muscular village chief's daily parade provides free interactive opportunities like flower-giving, abs-touching, and princess-style photos. The flower market adds spring romance without admission fees. Shows like Sichuan face-changing opera, Qiongling Flame show, fire skirt dance, and bonfire parties are included in the entrance ticket with no additional charges. The village is especially charming on rainy days, with mist floating over corridor bridges and rain dropping in bamboo forests - perfect for atmospheric slow-shutter phone photography. These unique views are free, requiring only an eye for beauty. Burning incense and copying sutras at Gexian Temple, morning bell-ringing for blessings - these spiritual activities are also free, enriching your soul while preserving your wallet. Accommodation Recommendation: Affordable Mountain Views I highly recommend Zhanshan Stay. With mountain views from your window, it feels like sleeping in a traditional Chinese painting. It's conveniently located just 5 minutes' walk from Zhongmiao Pavilion. Compared to luxury hotels in the scenic area, Zhanshan Stay offers excellent value, with rooms ranging from CNY 200-500 per night during the May Day holiday peak season, offering options for every budget. A trip to Gexian Village is like stepping into a beautiful dream, filled with mist, lanterns, and mountain views - every scene seems to have walked out of a poem. Here, I discovered that not only can you capture beautiful scenery and unforgettable memories, but you can also have a high-quality holiday without spending a fortune. We often chase distant landscapes while worrying about our budget. But Gexian Village proves that beauty and affordability can coexist. It shows us that travel's value lies not in how much we spend, but in how it touches our hearts and enriches our love for life. This May Day holiday, pack your hanfu and camera, and become a character in a painting at Gexian Village. Create your own beautiful memories in this poetic place while redefining the value of travel.
