Jiangxi Shangrao: A Fairyland Cultivation Guide

**Fellow cultivators, please note**: This guide comes with a celestial aura. After reading, you may feel an urge to fly on a sword, want to shout “Fellow cultivator, wait!” at every mountain, and develop a three-month aversion to the office—congratulations, your cultivation journey officially begins! 🚄 1. Transportation: Sword Flying Guide 1. **Mortal World Access**: - High-speed train directly to “Shangrao Station,” about 2-3 hours for friends from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai (ticket price around 💰300). After exiting the station, please do not attempt to cast spells to summon a celestial crane. Instead, choose: - Wangxian Valley: 1-hour taxi ride (about 💰120) or direct shuttle bus from the scenic area (30 yuan/person) - Wuyuan: 25 minutes by high-speed train to “Wuyuan Station,” car rental available for touring terraced fields and flower seas (about 200 yuan/day) - **Warning**: No shuttle buses after 5 PM in the scenic areas! Night explorers must either stay overnight or book a car in advance (otherwise, you’ll have to rely on the 11th route magic tool—your legs). 🏞️ 2. Attractions: Fairyland Office Check-in Guide **1. Wangxian Valley · Cliffside Xianxia Script Murder Game** - **Daytime Tasks**: - Wear Hanfu (rent “Xianfu Xianju” in the scenic area for 💰100+, including makeup), carry a sword and walk the Qingyun Bridge to instantly achieve the “Rising to the Clouds” achievement. - Shout at the Jade Curtain Waterfall: “Fellow cultivator, you dropped your salary!”—the echo effect rivals Xianxia drama dubbing. - **Nighttime Quest**: At 7:00 PM, all lights turn on, and the cliffside guesthouse transforms into the “Spirited Away” bathhouse. Best photo spot: the second-floor platform of Baiwei Street 📸. Friendly reminder: staying one night at the cliffside guesthouse costs a month’s salary of brick-moving work (starting at 2999 yuan), so it’s recommended to admire the celestial aura from afar for free. **2. Sanqing Mountain · Cloud Gym** - **Must-Do Quest**: - Jinsha Cableway → Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain (looks exactly like an unlucky snake demon stuck in a rock) → Eastern Goddess Peak (side profile beats any internet celebrity face) → Glass Plank Road (those afraid of heights, hold tightly to your fellow cultivator’s thigh). - **Hidden Task**: Find the crooked-neck pine tree on the cliff for a photo. The guide will mysteriously explain: “Master Zhang once hung his Taoist robe here!” (Truth unknown, but +99 likes on social media). **3. Wuyuan · Immortal’s Farmhouse** - **Huangling**: “Sun-drying autumn” is not a solar term but a large-scale art exhibition by local aunties! Chili peppers arranged as the national flag, corn piled into a phoenix… It’s recommended to bring an oil-paper umbrella and cosplay as a passerby from “Along the River During the Qingming Festival.” - **Jiangling**: In March, during the rapeseed flower season, the terraces turn into a “luxury golden carpet.” Beware! The scarecrows at the foot of the mountain steal the spotlight; the mountaintop viewing platform is the prime photography spot. **4. Guifeng · Find the Turtles in the Whole Mountain** - Take a photo with Camel Peak at the entrance, then start the “Everyone Find the Turtle” game—turn around and discover a new turtle! An elder excitedly holding a DSLR said: “I’ve found the 108th one!” (Friendly reminder: whether it looks like a turtle depends entirely on your imagination). 🍜 3. Food: Fairyland Canteen Taste Test Report - **Wangxian Valley Snack Street**: - **Silly Winter Melon Tea**: The name is simple but it’s life-saving, iced it beats milk tea instantly. - **Cheese Corn**: Cheese stretch over 1 meter long, eating it looks messy, bib recommended. - **Dengzhan Cake**: Small rice batter cups filled with bamboo shoots, a Shangrao intangible cultural heritage snack. Before eating, silently chant: “Celestial calories equal zero.” - **Pitfall Avoidance Spell**: Food prices in scenic areas are marked up by 20%. Budget cultivators can bring their own food (but kudzu root juice 💰15 yuan must be tried! The local Xianxia happy water). 🛏️ 4. Accommodation: Fairy Residence Camp Setup Guide - **Wealthy Tribulation Version**: Wangxian Valley cliffside guesthouse (2999 yuan+/night), VIP access + Hanfu experience, open the window and enjoy the illusion of “This immortal lives in the Lingxiao Palace.” - **Mortal Cultivation Version**: - Wuyuan Sun-drying Autumn Boutique Stay (window view of drying racks, 💰300+), or Shangrao city economic hotels (💰100-200, early bus to the mountains). - **Easter Egg Guesthouse**: Shangtan Village “Yunshuiyao · Mingxun Bieyuan,” a 300-year-old Huizhou-style old house with a millennium-old camphor tree and bamboo raft at the door, filming location of the movie “I Am Not Madame Bovary.” Post photos with the caption: “Today this seat descends to experience mortal life.” 📅 5. Itinerary: Quick Cultivation Diploma Course (4 days 3 nights) - **DAY1**: Wangxian Valley Hanfu immersive tour (daytime waterfall + glass plank road, nighttime Moon Viewing Bridge for Xianxia blockbuster shots) - **DAY2**: Sanqing Mountain sea of clouds hike (cableway up and down + bring instant noodles, 15 yuan/bucket at the summit) → night soak at Tianmu Hot Springs (relieves muscle soreness) - **DAY3**: Wuyuan flower fields → Huangling sun-drying autumn → overnight at Mingxun Bieyuan (listen to ghost stories in the old house) - **DAY4**: Guifeng turtle hunt → ascend with 108 turtle photos and return > **Cultivation Golden Quotes Summary**: > The mountains of Shangrao are not mountains, they are 3D martial arts films with food and lodging included; > The valleys of Shangrao are not valleys, they are studios with lighting technicians and chicken legs; > Remember! The protagonists of Xianxia dramas never rush—they ride the wind, you catch the high-speed train. > Fellow cultivators, set off quickly, the fairyland Wi-Fi is full bars! 📶 (Disclaimer: This guide is not responsible for anyone who laughs so hard they spill tea, takes leave to buy tickets, or is asked by colleagues “When will you return from tribulation?”)
