Shangrao is nice but I won't visit again

As a "wild traveler" who photographs everywhere I go, I'm sharing my secret Shangrao treasure routes with everyone! No crowded tourist hotspots, just the relaxing feeling of being surrounded by mountains and water. Follow me to unlock the correct way to experience this "magical small city" 👇 🌄【First Stop: Mount Sanqing - Where You Can Embrace the Clouds】 🚶♀️Recommendation: They say "After visiting Huangshan, other mountains pale in comparison; after visiting Sanqing, no other mountain is worth seeing." After visiting personally, I was truly left speechless by its beauty! ⏰Best time: Suggest entering before 8 AM to avoid crowds and possibly encounter a sea of clouds and sunrise. 💡Travel Tips: • Choose the route "Nanqing Garden → West Coast → Sunshine Coast," a circular route taking about 5 hours, where you can capture magnificent peaks, pine forests, and sea of clouds all at once 🌲 • Must-see spots: Giant Python Mountain (doesn't it look like nature's sculpture?), Jade Girl's Smile (such a spirited rock!), and Monkey King Viewing Treasures 🐒 • Remember to bring a light backpack with enough water and snacks, as prices on the mountain are a bit high. 📸Photo spot: The suspended walkway on the West Coast - every casual shot looks like "a person wandering in a painting"! 🍜【Meal Time! Local Food Radar Activated】 😋How can you visit Shangrao without flaunting your carb intake? Head straight to these time-tested restaurants— ✅ Lao Zhu Special Snacks (Zhongshan Road location) ▪️ Recommendations: Beef noodles (super fresh broth! Chewy thick noodles), Lantern Rice Cake (savory radish filling, soft glutinous rice exterior) ▪️ Hidden tip: Add a spoonful of chili oil for extra kick 🌶️ ✅ Shuinan Street Night Market ▪️ Egg Burger: Freshly fried crispy exterior with egg and minced meat filling, great value at just 5 yuan 🥚 ▪️ Qingming Rice Cake: Fragrant mugwort wrapper filled with pickled vegetables or red bean paste, a spring-limited delicacy 🌿 ⚠️Warning: Don't casually try the extra spicy version of "Qianshan Scalding Noodles" - I really couldn't handle the Jiangxi people's spice ceiling! 🚣【Second Stop: Wuyuan - Stepping into a Real-Life Ink Painting】 🌼Coming in April catches the tail end of rapeseed flower season, but the ancient villages with white walls and dark tiles still look as beautiful as a painting! 📍Recommended villages: • Likeng: Feels like the classic "bridges, flowing water, and houses" scene - super relaxing to sit by the river and enjoy a cup of tea. • Jiangling: Terraced fields layer upon layer, complemented by Hui-style residences - every photo you take turns out amazing 📷 🛶Unexpected surprise: Took a bamboo raft at Moon Bay (30 yuan/person), and the boatman helped take photos - the sparkling water surface was incredibly gentle. 💡Tips: Villages are quite far apart, so it's recommended to rent an electric bike or share a car - you can visit 3-4 spots in one day. 🛋️【Where to Stay? Two Hidden Gem Guesthouses】 🏡 Carefree Courtyard at the foot of Mount Sanqing ▪️ Highlights: The owner is an experienced traveler who hand-draws hiking maps! The courtyard has swings and a small garden where you can see stars at night ✨ ▪️ Price: 200-300 yuan/night, including breakfast (corn and sweet potatoes grown on their own farm) 🏡 Wuyuan Ink Painting Riverside Inn ▪️ Highlights: The inn is right in the scenic area - open the window to see rice fields and ancient bridges. Rooms have large bay windows perfect for drinking tea while enjoying the view. ▪️ Hidden bonus: The inn offers Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothing) experiences, perfect for themed photos! 📝【Warning Guide - Must-Read for Beginners】 ❌ Don't buy "wild honey" at the entrance of scenic areas - it's hard to tell real from fake! ❌ The Huangling cable car has super long lines in the afternoon - suggest going in the morning or during off-peak hours. ❌ Attention self-driving friends! Some mountain roads have many curves, so drive carefully! 🌟【Final Thoughts】 The beauty of Shangrao is hidden in the clouds of Mount Sanqing, the rapeseed fields of Wuyuan, and the lively atmosphere of its streets. If you're tired of crowded tourist attractions, come here to slow down, listen to the mountain breeze, taste local snacks, and experience the joy of "stealing half a day of leisure from busy life"!
