Wangxian Valley, Shangrao: A Real-Life Xianxia World

Unlock a fantastical "City in the Sky" experience! --- 🌈 Why visit Wangxian Valley? 1. A Real-Life Xianxia Wonderland 🌄 Hanging B&Bs on cliffs, glass walkways, flowing waterfalls and springs – you'll feel like you've stepped onto the set of Chinese Paladin! When the lights come on at night, the entire valley transforms into a "City in the Sky," perfect for blockbuster-worthy photos 📸. 2. A Feast of Nature and Culture 🏞️ Gorge waterfalls (such as Wangxian Waterfall and Sandie Spring), ancient rammed-earth villages, Gan-style markets, cliffside libraries... With both magnificent landscapes and lively folk culture, it's perfect for family trips or artistic youths. 3. Immersive Experience Programs 🎭 During the day, you can go rafting, visit herbal dyeing workshops, or try your hand at woodworking. In the evening, join a bonfire party or a Han wedding performance (3:00 PM/8:00 PM) and travel back to ancient times in an instant. 4. A Year-Round Paradise 🌸🍁 Enjoy wild flowers and bamboo forests in spring, cool rafting in summer, red leaves in autumn, and mountain hot springs in winter. Open all year round, there's no off-season. --- ⚠️ Important Notes: Avoid the pitfalls! 1. Getting There 🚗 - Drive to "Wangxian Valley Visitor Center." Parking is limited, so arrive early. - Take a scenic bus (approx. CNY 30) or taxi (approx. CNY 150, don't get ripped off!) from Shangrao Station. 2. Tickets and Hours 🎫 - Weekday adult tickets are CNY 100, weekend/holiday tickets are CNY 120. Free admission for children under 1.2 meters and seniors over 70.
