Guest User: It’s a cheap hotel, so you get what you pay for. The pictures are quite misleading, as the rooms and the building are older than they look. The room I was staying in had a really strong smell inside. I guess it was because you are allowed to smoke inside the rooms, but even though I smoke, the smell was almost unbearable, and it didn't go away even when I left the window open all day and night. The cleanliness of the sheets, towels, and the bathroom was okay, but the bathroom needs renovation. The slippers that were in my room were VERY dirty and smelly. Also, the bed was as hard as a rock, but again, it is very cheap, so you get what you pay for, and that’s fine. I would suggest it’s worth it to pay more and staying in a better place or just staying for just one night.

Guest User: The hotel is located at the intersection of the two main roads in Wanzai County. Downstairs are restaurants, snack shops, food stalls, and it is very lively at night! The decoration style of the store belongs to the kind of Chinese classical Jiangnan style, elegant and simple! The room was very clean, the front desk service was thoughtful and very enthusiastic. I chose a room in the inner community. It was very quiet and I slept very comfortably! In the evening, our group went to visit the ancient city of Wanzai. We went late and there were no tourists, but the atmosphere was beautiful and we liked it! The fly in the ointment did not catch up with the flower and gun festival at the end of the month here, unfortunately! The hotel breakfast is very rich, and the supporting laundry room gym is very powerful! This time I didn't step on the pit. It is very good to have such a grade hotel in the small county, recommended!

The bedding was soft and comfortable, and I slept very well. The front desk service was warm and attentive, which was great. It was very convenient, and the restaurant was right next door, just a few minutes' walk from where you'd be exploring the old town. I would definitely choose this place again next time.

Guest User: The hotel is close to the ancient city and is located in the hometown of fireworks. During the Spring Festival, you can see beautiful fireworks every night. When I entered the room on the first day, it felt bright and spacious. However, the soundproofing of the room was not good. I could hear the traffic on the road next door and the sound of people talking in the corridor. The breakfast was also a bit disappointing.

Free visit to the Ming and Qing ancestral halls! I found the lost New Year’s atmosphere in a small town in Jiangxi 🏮 Friends, if you are also looking for an ancient town that is not overly commercialized and full of authentic local life, then be sure to add Wanzai Ancient Town in Jiangxi to your list. I just came back from there and must highly recommend it — this treasure trove town, filled with Ming and Qing ancestral halls, intangible cultural heritage in active practice, and free admission, is worth a special slow weekend visit. 🏮 Quick overview of the ancient town: more than just “another old town” Located in Yichun, Jiangxi, the core area of Wanzai Ancient Town is the “Tianxia Ancient Town” district. What makes it special is the gathering of 27 ancestral halls from the Ming, Qing, and Republic of China periods, belonging to different family clans, making it an open-air “ancestral hall museum.” It doesn’t have the usual repetitive shops but revitalizes old buildings into intangible cultural heritage exhibition halls, tea houses, and local living spaces. Once you step in, the deeply rooted life atmosphere hits you immediately. 🗺️ Half-day slow travel route (tested and highlights) ⏰ 15:00 Arrival and initial exploration · Take the customized “Wanzai-Yichun” shuttle bus from the high-speed rail station (runs every half hour), get off at the “Tianxia Ancient Town” stop right there. Or take a taxi from Yichun, about 1 hour. · Step into the ancient town, don’t rush to find specific attractions. Wander freely, feel the tranquility between the bluestone roads, horse-head walls, and old courtyard gates. The soft light at this time is perfect for photos. ⏰ 16:00 Dive into the ancestral halls and touch history · Focus on visiting several open ancestral halls, such as the Guo Clan Ancestral Hall and the Yi Clan Grand Ancestral Hall. Pay attention to exquisite wood carvings, stone bases, and plaques, imagining the family stories these places have witnessed. · Visit the Xiabu Weaving Experience Hall to see firsthand how the national intangible cultural heritage “Wanzai Xiabu” is made from ramie into fabric, and you can even try the ancient loom yourself. ⏰ 17:30 Taste Wanzai with your palate · Dinner time! Find a local small restaurant and be sure to order Wanzai chopped meat (savory and perfect with rice) and handmade rice noodles (smooth and chewy). Don’t forget to try the Big Bowl Tea, paired with crispy fried sugar oil cake, a classic local afternoon tea. ⏰ 19:00 Encounter the nighttime climax of intangible cultural heritage · Nighttime is when the ancient town is most charming! If you’re lucky (especially on holidays or weekends), you might catch the Wanzai Kaikou Nuo performance at the ancient opera stage or square. Watch performers dance wearing ancient and mysterious masks, full of ritual sense. · Or listen to the majestic Desheng Drum, with drumbeats echoing through the old streets, truly impressive. · As the lights come on and lanterns glow, the night scene of the ancient town offers a different charm, completely distinct from the simplicity of daytime. Must-not-miss core experiences 1. Ancient architecture photography: The lines of the ancestral halls are extremely beautiful, especially during the blue hour at dusk, with lanterns and Hui-style gables creating perfect scenes. 2. Intangible cultural heritage immersion: Besides watching performances, chat more with artisans; the stories behind Xiabu weaving and Nuo opera are even more moving than the scenery. 3. Capturing local life: Sit in a tea house listening to local elders chatting and watch children running in the alleys — this is the living soul of the ancient town. 🍜 Authentic food guide · Main meals recommended: Wanzai’s Six Big Bowls is a traditional banquet; you can find restaurants offering small portions to sample; chopped meat noodles are perfect for breakfast or late-night snacks. · Snacks: Besides sugar oil cake, local street snacks like frozen rice candy and ginger slices are also must-tries. · Food hunting tip: Follow the queues of locals at small shops, you won’t go wrong. 💡 Practical information and thoughtful tips · Admission: Free! This is the best part. · Best time to visit: Strongly recommend afternoon to evening, so you can see architectural details clearly and enjoy the night scene and intangible cultural heritage performances. · Transportation: ◦ High-speed rail: Arrive at Yichun Station, then follow signs to the “Wanzai-Yichun customized shuttle bus” for direct access to the “Tianxia Ancient Town” stop. ◦ Self-driving: Navigate to “Wanzai Ancient Town,” parking is convenient. · Accommodation: If you’re not in a hurry, stay a night inside the ancient town or in Wanzai County to deeply experience the quietness of an empty morning. · Reminder: The ancient town is moderate in size, wear comfortable shoes to stroll slowly; please respect local customs and ask for permission before photographing inside residences. Sitting in a tea house, drinking Big Bowl Tea, watching the Nuo masks gleam with ancient luster under the lights, at that moment I suddenly felt — true travel is not escaping to a foreign land, but stepping into another vibrant and colorful life. Wanzai Ancient Town is exactly such a place, unhurriedly waiting for you to discover its charm. Wanzai Ancient Town: A Journey to the Past

Yichun, located in northwestern Jiangxi Province, derives its name from a spring beside the city, described as "clear and beautiful like spring, with a pleasant taste when drinking from it." It was formerly known as Yuanzhou. The city has a relatively slow pace of life, with its main attractions being mountain scenery, hot springs, ancient villages, forest parks, and local Jiangxi cuisine. From Changsha, taking the high-speed train to Yichun Station is convenient, taking approximately 2 hours. From Yichun Station, there are buses and taxis to the city center, Wentang Town, and Mingyue Mountain. For driving, the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway is recommended; however, the mountain roads are winding and steep, so speed control is necessary. Mingyue Mountain Mingyue Mountain is a national 5A-level scenic area. Its main peak, Taiping Mountain, reaches an altitude of 1736 meters. Attractions include the Qingyun Plank Road, Yungu Waterfall, Moon Lake, and a mountain train. The entrance fee is approximately 95 yuan; cable car and sightseeing bus fares are separate, and prices are subject to change by the scenic area. The temperature difference between day and night on the mountain is significant, and the plank roads are slippery, so be careful where you step. For a less strenuous experience, take the cable car; for more scenic views, you can walk some sections of the trails. Wentang Town Wentang Town is famous for its selenium-rich hot springs. The ancient well water temperature remains between 68℃ and 72℃ year-round, suitable for both drinking and bathing. The town offers a variety of hot spring options, including public hot spring areas and hotels and guesthouses with private soaking pools. Public hot spring ticket prices fluctuate depending on the session and season; it is recommended to check in advance. Near the Ancient Well Street, you can collect hot spring water for free and try foot baths, but the water temperature in the foot bath area is quite high; be careful to avoid burns. Those with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, broken skin, after drinking alcohol, on an empty stomach, or after a large meal are not advised to soak in the hot springs. Each soak should not be too long, and remember to stay hydrated. Wanzai Ancient City Wanzai Ancient City is free to enter and features mainly Gan-style ancient architecture and ancestral halls, suitable for strolling, admiring the architecture, and learning about local customs. Around the ancient city are karst caves such as Zhushan Cave, which are cool year-round and more suitable for visiting in summer. Jing'an Sanzhualun Sanzhualun National Forest Park boasts a high forest coverage, ideal for hiking, enjoying fresh air, and viewing waterfalls and streams. Rafting is available in summer; children and the elderly should consider their physical condition before choosing. Signal strength and dining options are less abundant in the mountains than in the city; it's recommended to bring water and simple food. Tonggu, Fengxin, Yifeng, etc. Tonggu's Tianzhu Peak features Danxia landforms and lake views, perfect for mountain and water scenery. The area around Baizhang Temple in Fengxin offers a quiet mountain environment, suitable for short walks. Yifeng's Tianbao Ancient Village preserves many Ming and Qing dynasty buildings and is relatively less crowded, making it suitable for those who appreciate ancient villages. Places to Visit in Yichun City In Yichun city, you can visit the Yichun Museum, Yuanshan Park, Zhuangyuanzhou Park, and Xiujiang Scenic Belt, most of which are free and suitable for a half-day visit. The Chandu Cultural Expo Park is also free, but some facilities are poorly maintained, so it's not crowded; it's worth a quick stop along the way. Food Yichun cuisine tends to be spicy and has a strong flavor. Common snacks include Yichun rice noodles, fried rice noodles, Wentang steamed cake, and Zhangshu clear soup. For main meals, try Cihua chicken, Wanzai chopped meat, Tonggu dumplings, braised pork with dried bamboo shoots, and cured meat dishes. Request less or mild spice when ordering. Accommodation For hot springs, staying in Wentang Town is more convenient; for dining, shopping, and transportation, stay in Yuanzhou District. Accommodation in Wentang Town ranges from budget guesthouses to hot spring hotels. Prices increase during peak season and weekends, so it's recommended to compare prices in advance. Budget Reference Excluding transportation, 2 days 1 night: approximately 400-900 RMB per person; 3 days 2 nights: approximately 800-1300 RMB, depending on whether hot springs are included, cable car rides are taken, and accommodation standard. Precautions Spring and autumn have more comfortable weather; summer is suitable for rafting and escaping the heat; winter is suitable for hot springs, but it can be cold at the mountain top and in the mountains. Mountain roads are slippery on rainy days; wear non-slip shoes in scenic areas such as Mingyue Mountain and Sanzhualun. Signal strength is weak in some mountainous areas, so it's advisable to bring some cash and a power bank. Prices for scenic area tickets, cable car tickets, and performance tickets are subject to change; please check official or reputable platforms for the most up-to-date information before your trip.

There is a large temperature difference between day and night after the start of autumn. It's cooler in the mountains (Mount Mingyue, Mount Longhu), so bring a light jacket. 3. Many ancient villages and old streets are free, but some paid attractions are cheaper if you buy tickets online in advance. 4. Try to eat in the city center. Restaurant prices in scenic areas are higher. Duck into small shops in residential areas for authentic and cheaper food. 5. The four cities are quite far apart. You don't have to visit them all at once. You can pick 1–2 small cities to relax and take it slow without rushing your itinerary. No need to squeeze into popular tourist spots, no sky-high prices. Jiangxi in autumn is gentle. Find a small city to stay for two or three days, slurp a bowl of local rice noodles in the morning, stroll through old streets and enjoy the scenery in the afternoon, and eat Jiangxi cuisine while feeling the evening breeze. This kind of relaxation is truly rare. For those who want a low-cost, slow-paced trip, these small cities in Jiangxi are worth a visit🥰

I went to Wanzai Ancient City for a trip, it was really interesting! As soon as I entered the ancient city, I felt like I had traveled back to ancient times. The bluestone roads, antique buildings, and those ancient ancestral halls, each of which exuded a strong sense of age. I walked all the way and saw many ancient ancestral halls. Some of them had stone lions at the door, which was particularly majestic. I heard that there are 28 ancient ancestral halls from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China. It is one of the best-preserved multi-surname ancient ancestral hall clusters in China. It is really eye-opening. What I find most interesting are the intangible cultural heritage performances. I watched the Wanzai Open-mouthed Nuo. The actors wore masks and danced a mysterious dance. It felt particularly ritualistic. There is also a victory drum. The drum sound is particularly rhythmic and exciting to listen to. I also wove a small piece of cloth in the summer cloth weaving experience area. Although it was not woven very well, I felt very accomplished. The night view of the ancient city at night is super beautiful! When the lights are on, the whole ancient city is illuminated, and the ancient buildings look particularly charming under the lights. What I look forward to most is the fireworks show every Saturday night. The colorful fireworks bloom over the ancient city. The romantic feeling is simply indescribable. Wanzai Ancient City not only has beautiful buildings, but also many delicious foods. I ate Wanzai big bowl tea and drank tea for three yuan a bowl, with sugar and oil cake. The taste is really amazing! There is also Wanzai minced meat powder, which is very fragrant. I want to eat a second bite after eating one. This time when I went to Wanzai Ancient City, I not only felt the charm of Ganxi culture, but also experienced many interesting intangible cultural heritage projects. I really gained a lot. Next time I will come again, maybe I will bring my friends with me, so that they can also feel the unique charm of this ancient city!

沙鸥宁Zhuojiang Scenic Area is located in Sanyang Town, Yichun City, 18 kilometers away from the downtown area of Yichun. Take the Yichun to Zhuojiang Scenic Area direct bus from Yichun Trade Plaza Bus Station. There are five major scenic spots in the scenic area, including Bailong Cave, Zhuojiang Cave, Water Base, Stone Forest, and Orchard. The overall feeling is: beautiful, stunning, spectacular, thrilling, and very worth visiting.
睡恣@M丶Zhushan Cave is a unique natural scenic spot with four major geological wonders, namely, the nearly 4-kilometer-long underground river-shaped karst cave, the 4,000-acre Shihu Stone Forest, the 4-kilometer-long super-large mountain reclining Buddha and the Lutang Hot Spring. Zhushan Cave was also awarded the title of "Top Ten Characteristic Scenic Spots in Jiangxi" as a representative of Jiangxi karst caves.
睡恣@M丶Orange Island is a bit of a mixed experience, and I'm honestly not entirely sure whether I'd consider it a must-visit in Changsha.It's a large, green, and pleasant park, with beautiful riverside views and plenty of space for walking. If you enjoy places with historical significance or simply want to experience a different side of the city, it's definitely worth considering.Most visitors seem to take the sightseeing train to the southern end of the island, where the famous Mao Zedong statue is located. That's also where you'll find plenty of people taking photos, so don't expect a particularly quiet experience.The main downside is that visiting the island takes quite a bit of time, especially if you want to explore it properly. And while it's certainly a nice place, I'm not sure the experience justifies spending several hours here if you have a limited amount of time in Changsha and other places you'd like to see.On the other hand, if you're simply looking for a relaxing walk through a green park, with opportunities to stop by the river and enjoy the scenery, it's a lovely option.Overall, I'd say it's worth visiting if you have some extra time or are particularly interested in Chinese history. Otherwise, I wouldn't necessarily put it at the very top of your Changsha itinerary.
YazonDinAltMy hometown's Yellow Crane Tower is known as the "Number One Tower Under Heaven." Its majestic eaves and rich cultural heritage offer panoramic views of the Yangtze River and the three towns of Wuhan. No matter how many times I've visited, each visit evokes a different feeling; it is truly a symbol of Wuhan.
M72***99Director Xu's explanations were highly professional, vivid, patient, and captivating. He focused on explaining all the key exhibits, connecting them with historical anecdotes and other details to make them easier to understand. Highly recommended.
Anonymous userMost attractions are suitable for children under ten years old, and the facilities are quite good. Prices are a bit higher than last year, and they are slightly inferior to those in Yingtan.
咒术士Tengwang Pavilion is a highly recommended place. It has been rebuilt 29 times, spanning the Yuan, Song, Ming, Qing, and modern periods. Climbing to the fifth floor offers stunning views of the Gan River. At night, Tengwang Pavilion is illuminated with dazzling lights.
M33***26Everyone says Lushan is a natural air-conditioned room, and I personally experienced it. In the summer evenings, the cool mountain breeze instantly dispelled the heat of hiking. I was initially worried about the difficulty of the route, as my physical condition is average and I don't hike often. However, I was surprised to find myself successfully completing the entire trek across all five peaks. The transitions between peaks weren't continuous steep slopes; I could walk a bit, rest occasionally, enjoy the breeze, and gaze at the distant mountains – the views were expansive. The evening breeze was the biggest surprise of the trip; the fresh scent of grass and trees mingled with the cool air, without the stifling heat of midsummer.
