This is the most breathtaking mountain I've climbed this year. If you love famous mountains and great rivers, don't miss it~

Shangrao Lingshan is truly a seriously underrated treasure fairy mountain! ⛰️ Known as the "Sky Mirror" of Shangrao, Jiangxi, the mountain ring trail and the sea of strange stones and clouds here will definitely amaze you. Quickly save this fresh guide~✨ 🚗 Super convenient transportation Lingshan is basically Shangrao's "back garden," very close to the city center! · High-speed rail/plane: Take a train to "Shangrao Station" or fly to "Sanqingshan Airport." There is a direct shuttle bus from the train station to the scenic area (about 40 minutes, 15 RMB). · Self-driving: Just navigate to "Shangrao Lingshan Scenic Area," the parking lot is huge. 🎒 Must-have travel tips 📍 Core experience: High-altitude plank road · This 8.5-kilometer mountain ring plank road is definitely the essence of Lingshan! Like a "steel dragon" hanging on the mountainside, walking on it is super thrilling, with deep ravines below and continuous strange stone peaks ahead. It’s recommended to take the cable car up the mountain to save energy and focus on taking photos📸. 📍 Must-visit spots · Dominating the World (Huabiao Peak/Jinqiang Peak): The iconic landscape of Lingshan. Once you see its shape... you’ll get it! · Glass plank road: A place to test your courage! Remember to step calmly and take a photo to prove you were here~😎 · Crystal Waterfall: The highest granite waterfall in Jiangnan. (However, some visitors have reported that some waterfall spots have less water flow, so check the current situation before your trip.) 📍 Magical sea of clouds and stunning flower seasons · Sea of clouds: On rainy mornings or afternoons, the mist wraps around the valleys, and walking on the plank road feels like strolling in the clouds, full of fairy-like charm~☁️ If you’re lucky, when the fog clears, you can see the true face of Tianti Peak. · Spring flower sea: If you come in spring, Lingshan is a flower paradise! Rapeseed flowers on alpine terraces, purple cloud pea flower seas near villages, and rhododendrons quietly blooming in the valleys—it’s like stepping into a painting. 🍜 Food and accommodation tips · Food: Must-try Shangrao chicken leg when going down the mountain (first marinated then roasted, incredibly fragrant!), hu tofu, and Qingming rice cakes. · Accommodation: For convenience, stay in Shangrao city where there are many hotel options; for a mountain living experience, choose homestays around the scenic area to enjoy the quiet night and fresh air. 💡 Important tips · Student benefits: Full-time university students pay 48 RMB for tickets, and if you buy a cable car combo ticket, the entrance ticket is free! There’s also a great value student annual pass, perfect for mountain lovers. · Safety first: The plank road is safe, but don’t crowd or jump around. · Weather: Check the weather forecast before your trip; clear days offer the best views. Lingshan is truly a place that lets you forget your worries and fill your camera with amazing shots~📸 If you’re tempted, don’t hesitate—pick a weekend and take a spontaneous fairy mountain trip! 💨
