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

#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

With the May Day holiday approaching, are you dreaming of a trip but feeling constrained by your budget? Don't worry! Today, I'll share with you a hidden gem that's both breathtakingly beautiful and budget-friendly - Gexian Village in Jiangxi. Named "China's Most Beautiful Ancient Village" by National Geographic, this mystical place feels like stepping into a fantasy world, and the best part is you won't have to worry about breaking the bank! Like many of you, I initially struggled with holiday travel choices. Popular attractions are overcrowded and overpriced, while lesser-known places feel risky and potentially disappointing. Then I discovered Gexian Village, and was instantly captivated by its misty atmosphere, gray-tiled houses with white walls, and ethereal lantern lights. I decided to explore it despite my limited budget, and it proved to be the perfect choice. Budget Transportation Guide: Easy Access to a Fantasy World Transportation costs were my initial concern, but reaching Gexian Village is both convenient and affordable. Take a high-speed train to Shangrao Station, then hop on a direct shuttle bus to the scenic area. While train fares vary by departure location, you'll save significantly on taxi or transfer fees compared to other attractions. For those driving, simply navigate to "Gexian Village Resort." The scenic area has a parking lot with reasonable fees, and you can take the shuttle bus into the attraction, making it both convenient and economical. Instagram-Worthy Spots: Capture Traditional Chinese Style Photos for Free In Gexian Village, you don't need expensive photo studios - every corner is a natural photography spot. 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.

Traveling in Shangrao isn't expensive, but without a good plan, you can waste a lot of money 💰.

It feels like stepping back into the ancient towns of martial arts TV dramas. Although man-made, its beauty is undeniable, and the misty atmosphere on rainy days adds to the ambiance. 📍Mount Sanqing The most famous attraction in Shangrao, known as the "Little Mount Huang," features towering peaks and bizarre rocks surrounded by clouds and mist, creating a fairyland-like atmosphere. It's a must-visit destination in Shangrao! 📍Gexian Village A divine village at the foot of the mountain. Come to Gexian Village for a few days of heavenly life. Even Wang Po loves this ancient village—how could it not be beautiful? 📍Huangling Listed as a national geographic ancient village, it retains its original way of life. The "drying harvest" is the most beautiful time, but the entire ancient village is suitable for visiting in any season, with beautiful scenery at every turn. 📍Wunvzhou The scenes from ancient poems come to life here.

All scenic areas in the mountainous regions involve climbing up and down, with almost no flat ground. The weather forecast isn't very accurate; it can be rainy one moment and sunny the next. Restaurants serving staple foods within the scenic areas are not recommended—the taste is average, the service is slow, and the prices are high. 🔶Recommended Gear: Windbreaker, hiking poles, umbrella, raincoat, power bank, hiking shoes, and a small amount of food to replenish energy at any time.

If you, like me, want to see "the clouds are green and about to rain, the water is calm and smoke is rising", or climb to the top of the mountains without any effort and watch the light and shadow of the mountains and rivers, then let's go~ 📍Attraction address: Shangrao, Jiangxi 🚗 Transportation to attractions: 🚄High-speed rail: After the high-speed rail arrives at Wuyuan Station or Shangrao Station, chartered or shared cars are mainly available.
