72-Hour Slow Flash in Wuyuan-Jingdezhen @ Private Enjoyment

Landed at Shangrao Airport, took a half-hour high-speed train to Wuyuan, then a 30-minute Ctrip private car to Huangling Mountain County. At the foot of the mountain, vast rapeseed flower fields stretched endlessly, with Xishan Homestay strikingly nestled by the farmland. The architectural design and courtyard camping scenes created a luxurious wilderness vibe. With January temperatures around 8-9°C, especially in the south, gathering around the fireplace in the first-floor living room while enjoying roasted sweet potatoes felt absolutely blissful! The guest rooms had powerful AC heating, and the shower 🚿 water was piping hot—the colder it was outside, the more enjoyable it felt. After warming up, heading down to the backyard facing hundreds of acres of rapeseed flowers, listening to music, grilling some food, brewing a pot of dark tea, and lighting a cigarette was pure relaxation. When hungry, the spacious communal kitchen could satisfy most cooking cravings. Alternatively, stepping outside onto the street revealed authentic local farmhouse eateries, each serving steaming, flavor-packed dishes. After eating, a leisurely walk up the winding dirt path along the street led to the historic New Fourth Army headquarters, marked on the map as just over ten kilometers away. The next day, I deliberately chose to take a one-hour slow green train to Jingdezhen, a destination I'd longed to visit for years, soaking in the scenic views outside the window. I stayed at Wu Yong He Qi, which friends hailed as the pinnacle of Jingdezhen homestays. The first impression was one of striking contrast—the entire homestay was a unified, pottery-textured concrete structure. Two levels of rooms were staggered and embedded within the concrete walls, seemingly inspired by kiln sites but resembling layered cave dwellings on a mountainside. Guests stepping out from any room could wander through cleverly designed mountain pathways and terraces, experiencing a beautiful shift of scenery with every step. The entire homestay exuded a high-end aesthetic reflecting Jingdezhen's essence through minimalist design and meticulous attention to detail. The exquisite breakfast and attentive service from the restaurant butler filled me with joy for the journey ahead!
