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

👍🏻Recommendation: Seriously, I highly recommend Guifeng Scenic Area in Yiyang, Shangrao👏! This UNESCO World Heritage mountain peak is absolutely breathtaking! Compared to the crowded Wuyuan and Jingdezhen, this place is less crowded and more unique, offering a truly fulfilling travel experience💯. If you're looking to avoid the May Day holiday crowds, this is the perfect choice. Just go for it! It's a UNESCO Global Geopark, and even Xu Xiake, a famous traveler, praised it as being no less impressive than Yandang Mountain, one of the top ten famous mountains at the time. The geological formations here are steep and unique, a rare Danxia peak forest landform in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions, guaranteed to amaze you✨. 🗺About the Scenic Area: Yiyang Guifeng is a true gem of a mountain🎈. Its uniqueness lies in its distinctive Danxia peak forest landform, with all sorts of strangely shaped peaks standing tall, like works of art carefully sculpted by nature. There are many must-see attractions here, such as Hao Han Po (Hero Slope), a stairway carved out of a large rock face. Walking on it feels like being on another planet, and after climbing it, you'll feel like a true hero😎. Then there's Luotuo Feng (Camel Peak), the highest peak in the scenic area. Its 90-degree vertical ladder will make your heart race and scream with excitement just by looking at it😱. Also, don't miss Guifeng Lake. Boating on the lake🚤 offers a unique perspective of the bizarre peaks and rocks, creating a feeling of discovering a hidden world. 🚗Getting There: Transportation is quite convenient🚗. If you choose to take the high-speed train, Yiyang Station is a good option. It's only 1.8 hrs from Hangzhou, 3 hrs from Shanghai, and 3.5 hrs from Nanjing🚄. After arriving, a 15-min taxi ride will take you directly to the scenic area. If you prefer driving, it's about a 2-hr drive from Wuyuan or Jingdezhen. 🗺Suggested Routes: There are three classic hiking routes in the scenic area🧗. After entering the main gate, take the sightseeing bus to Suochun Cave to start your hike. The overall difficulty is not high. Even someone with low energy like me found it much easier than climbing Huangshan or the west slope of Changbai Mountain. 1. Shengui Trail: Guihua Garden → Jiangjun Tower → Hao Han Po → Ziwei Garden, Difficulty: ⭐⭐, 5 km, approx. 2.5 hrs. This route is relatively easy, suitable for those who are not used to hiking or for families with children or seniors. 2. Xiake Trail: Shengui Greeting → Bainian Path → Tiannü Sanhua → Jiangjun Tower → Hao Han Po → Ziwei Garden, Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐, 8 km, approx. 3.5 hrs. This route is a bit longer, but the scenery along the way is more diverse. 3. Full Trail: Guihua Garden → Jiangjun Tower → Sandao Pass → Nantian Pillar → Luotuo Peak → Qingshuitang, Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐, 10 km, approx. 4.5 hrs. This route is more challenging, but it offers more scenic views, suitable for those who are physically fit and enjoy a challenge. If you want to take stunning photos📸, I recommend this route: Ziwei Garden → Hao Han Po → Sandao Pass → Rest Pavilion → Camel Peak Viewing Platform → West Coast Viewing Platform → Eighteen Arhats Rest Stop → Glass Walkway → Camel Peak Service Point → Slide down the mountain → Qingshuitang, Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐, 10 km, 4.5 hrs. The scenery along this route is incredibly photogenic, with stunning photo opportunities at every turn. 🍱Food Recommendations: Unfortunately, the original text doesn't mention any food😔. However, once you're there, you can try the local specialties of Yiyang, such as Yiyang rice cakes, which are famous for their soft and chewy texture and various cooking methods. They are delicious whether fried or boiled. You might even discover more hidden culinary treasures. 💰Cost: The entrance fee is CNY 60🎫. A combined ticket costs CNY 160 and includes the sightseeing bus and boat ride. I think the combined ticket is worth it if you have enough time, as it allows you to explore the scenic area more comprehensively. 📌Other Tips: 1. There are no restaurants in the scenic area, but there are a few rest stops where you can buy instant noodles, sausages, and other simple snacks. It's best to bring your own snacks🥪 to keep your energy levels up. 2. The mountain trails are generally easy to walk on, suitable for people of all ages, but it's still recommended to wear comfortable athletic shoes👟 for a more comfortable hike. Also, be sure to wear sun-protective clothing, as the sun can be quite strong in the mountains🌞. 3. Never take the emergency trails blocked off by the scenic area. Safety first! Always follow the designated routes🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️. 4. Guifeng Scenic Area is open from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. Remember to plan your time accordingly🕙.

Jiangxi is home to many breathtaking sceneries beyond the well-known Jingdezhen and Wuyuan. Among them is the Yiyang Guifeng Scenic Area, a Danxia landform that has been recognized as a World Natural Heritage site. The area boasts uniquely shaped peaks and rocks that appear as if they were meticulously carved, offering views that rival those of Huangshan but with fewer crowds, making for an unparalleled travel experience. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature, this is the perfect destination. Get ready to explore with this comprehensive travel guide!

In the vast landscapes of Jiangxi, there lies a hidden gem that resembles a fairyland—Guifeng. It may not have the fame of Sanqing Mountain in Shangrao, but it boasts a unique tranquility and beauty. Entering the Guifeng Scenic Area feels like stepping into a magical art hall crafted by nature itself. The mountains here are not high but come in various shapes. Some resemble lively animals, leaping among the mountains; others look like elegant fairies, standing gracefully. The magnificent and steep Danxia landforms are fully displayed here, leaving people in awe. For tourists who want to explore deeply, you can choose this route: start from Guihuayuan, pass through General Building, Sandao Pass, and Eighteen Arhats Rest Point, climb to the top of Jinzhong Peak, stroll along the mountain path, challenge the glass walkway, bravely climb Camel Peak, and finally reach Qingshuitang. If you are traveling with the elderly and children, you might opt for a simplified route: from Guihuayuan to General Building, then through Hero Slope to Ziyuan Garden. The journey takes about two hours, with scenic spots at every step. The natural landscapes and the ingenious artificial constructions are perfectly integrated. The sturdy and gentle viewing platforms and steps allow you to appreciate the spectacular scenery even when facing steep cliffs without worrying about excessive physical exertion. You can easily enjoy the trip even with a baby. When you reach the top of the mountain, the scene of "looking horizontally as a ridge and sideways as a peak, with different views from near and far, high and low" unfolds before your eyes, and you can't help but feel a heroic sentiment of "I will ascend the peak and view all the small mountains at a glance." At that moment, the whole world becomes tranquil, as if time has stopped for this beautiful scenery. Guifeng has many check-in points. Hero Slope lives up to its name, with a road carved out of huge rocks and winding steps leading you forward, allowing you to take the most beautiful photos with Guifeng. On Jinzhong Peak, the full view of the spiritual and beautiful Guifeng is intoxicating. Camel Peak, the highest peak in the scenic area, has a 90-degree vertical ladder that makes you scream at a glance, challenging the limits of courage. In Yixiantian, the hundred-meter walkway between two peaks brings a thrilling visual experience. The mountain path built around the mountain feels like an endless staircase. The water park is a paradise for children, with activities like jet skiing and surfing making parent-child activities extremely fun, achieving a perfect combination of mountain and water enjoyment. Don't forget to take photos. The Xiake Line Rest Pavilion, Divine Turtle Welcoming Guests, and Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers are also must-see spots. Here, every scene and atmosphere may become your next great photo. We stayed at Bishui Danxin, which is very close to the scenic area. The European-style courtyard has a unique charm, and the host is particularly enthusiastic. There's also good news: Jiangxi residents can enjoy this beautiful scenery until August 31. Come to Guifeng and start a secret mountain journey through time and space!

This tour group is really tough, we are on the bus every day—hiking. Today we arrived at Guifeng in Shangrao City, this rock formation is Danxia landform, which means the rocks have different colors, it is really beautiful, no wonder it is a AAAA-level tourist area. Many mountains look very special, like turtles, I am quite curious if this was formed by earthquakes or by wind and rain? But it is really unique. I highly recommend bringing trekking poles and knee pads, although the trails and stairs are well set up, you will be constantly climbing stairs, up and down, which is a bit hard on the knees. Address: Guifeng Town, Yiyang County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province Tickets: 80 RMB Opening hours: 7:30-18:00 Note: Bring water and lunch, I didn't see any stalls selling things
