Just returned from Wangxiangu, here are 10 honest tips
After driving for an hour from Shangrao Sanqingshan to Wangxiangu, here are some honest and practical suggestions. Before you go, make sure to do your research. Here are some personal insights:
1. Which one to visit? Nearby Wunvzhou, Gexiancun, and Wangxiangu are all man-made attractions, mainly featuring night lights with different styles. Wunvzhou has more performances, Gexiancun seems to have dragon dances, and Wangxiangu has beautiful lighting. Choose based on your preference; I personally like Wangxiangu's style.
2. Is it worth visiting? For me, it was worth it. I was attracted by the architectural layout, and the real scene is not much different from the online photos. It's worth it if you can take good photos. There are many tour groups, so choose to go during the off-season to enhance your experience.
3. Visiting time: Once you exit with a ticket, you can't re-enter. You can enter around 3 PM; the core area is a bit far from the entrance. Arrive at the core area around 5 PM to see the sunset and night view. The blue hour (half an hour after sunset) is particularly beautiful! The night view is also stunning!
4. What's inside? Honestly, there's not much to do. It's mainly an ancient-style snack street and cultural shops, mainly for photography. We took photos until 9 PM before returning to the homestay. The performances are not very impressive. There's a glass walkway, but compared to Sanqingshan's walkway, it's not much. Rafting is closed in autumn and winter.
5. Are there many mosquitoes and insects? In autumn and winter, there aren't many mosquitoes and insects, but bring mosquito repellent just in case. There are many trees and water, so there will definitely be some insects.
6. Is it tiring? The paths inside are relatively flat, so it's not strenuous to walk.
7. How are the prices inside? Slightly more expensive than outside, but acceptable. A Shangrao chicken leg is 15 yuan, a grilled squid is 10 yuan, and a bowl of shrimp vermicelli is 20 yuan. You can bring some snacks if you want.
8. Photography spots: The two best spots for photos are Baige Bridge and Baihe Cliff. Other places also offer good photo opportunities. The blue hour (half an hour after sunset) is beautiful for photos! If you have a drone, bring it! Some popular angles can only be captured by drones!
9. Renting Hanfu: I researched many Hanfu stores before going. There are many pitfalls, like charging extra for photo negatives. It's better to rent and take photos yourself to avoid these issues. I didn't find one I liked.
10. Accommodation: Whether to stay in the scenic area depends on your budget. If you have a high budget, you can stay in a homestay inside the scenic area, which is convenient for seeing the sunrise the next day. If your budget is low, you can stay in a homestay outside the scenic area, which is also close. Personally, after seeing the night view, there's no regret.
Scenic spot: Wangxiangu
Location: Wangxian Township, Guangxin District, Shangrao City
Ticket: 120 yuan/person
Transportation: Convenient from Yushan South and Shangrao stations.

I found a hidden treasure!
After coming here, I finally understand why our ancestors always wanted to live in seclusion.
A misty Jiangnan, an ancient village hidden in the mountains.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, a pond full of koi, and the faint sound of bells ringing in the temple. This is probably the paradise I imagined...

It really echoes the saying "Come to Gexian Village to live a few days of fairy life"~

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and live like a god for a few days.
Recently, the sales performance pressure has been too great. Several colleagues agreed to find a quiet place to relax for two days. After several days of discussion, we chose Geshan Village, which a colleague had visited before. The reputation is good. In Lingshan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, there is a fairyland that seems to have come out of an ancient scroll - Geshan Village Resort. Here, not only is the beauty of nature and the charm of humanity combined, but also its unique charm attracts countless tourists to come and experience a unique slow-paced mountain village life. Here is a travel guide I have summarized. If it is helpful to you, remember to like and collect it🔥🔥🔥

I predict that Jiangxi will be the new top stream in September!!! It's so cool.
In my heart, Shangrao, Jiangxi is a treasure city.
I recently went to Gexian Village in Shangrao for the Fire Festival, and I was once again amazed!
Just because it has added a new "Black Myth Wukong" style scenery~ It feels even better to travel in Hanfu!! I'll simply talk about my travel experience
I've always wanted to see the September "Fire Pot" performance, and I can see it here too. It's right in front of the Zhongmiao Pavilion, and it's especially spectacular! Especially when the master swings his stick, I feel like I'm seeing the Great Sage~ Live picture feeling ha
In addition, there are fire phoenixes, burning pagodas, fire tigers... What amazed me was the burning pagoda
Gexian Village's very popular cruise ship position, there are far fewer people during the day than in the afternoon, and you don't even need to feed the fish, the fish will follow, and it's very photogenic to wear a brightly colored koi fairy dress
Listen to me, you must take the cable car up to Gexian Mountain, which is like a fairyland of Yaochi. First go to Tianjingtai to pray for blessings, and you can see all the mountains. Then climb the mountain for 15 minutes▲, and you will arrive at the ancient Gexian Temple, where you can get good luck and take beautiful photos
(If you have enough time, you can ask for a fortune at the top of the mountain. The fortune telling is free, and there is free vegetarian food to eat)
"Take the high-speed rail to Shangrao Station", there is a direct round-trip special line, 30/person, duration 1.5h.

I rarely use the word "impressive" to describe a place!!!!!!
Compared to the well-known Jingdezhen, I love this hidden gem recommended by National Geographic!!!
"Suzhou and Hangzhou are good places to visit, but Jiangxi is also the real Jiangnan"
Jiangxi, you are really too low-key, there is a secluded town hidden under the Ge Xian Mountain, a Taoist holy land...
If you don't want to go to work, come here for a short stay~ During the day, "the clouds are green and about to rain, the water is light and smoky"
At night, when the lights come on, it's like a real-life version of Spirited Away!!!
Witness the intangible cultural heritage fire pots, fire tigers, dragon sticks, fire meteors, fire phoenixes...
I will always be impressed by the things left by our ancestors!!! (Live photo)
[My 2-day and 1-night itinerary]
The scenic area is divided into two areas. It is recommended to stay in the scenic area for one night. Day 1: Visit the foot of the mountain [Ge Xian Village] and take a boat to watch the performance
Report a waterfall Ge Xian Tea Garden Town Museum of Cultural Relics Wash the dust Gate of Lingbao Xianjie Street Tianjing Pool Zhongmiao Square Yueya Lane Day 2: Pray on the mountain [Ge Xian Mountain] Climb high and look far

[Travel tips]
High-speed rail direct to [Shangrao Station], there is a special bus to and from the scenic area, 30/person, travel time about 1.5h
❷ It is recommended to stay in the scenic area There are 8-9 hotels with different styles to choose from, I think the accommodation + tickets + cable car package is more cost-effective!!!
I stayed at "Pillow Mountain Hostel", the environment is good, very close to the central scenic area and cable car! I slept very soundly all night~
❸ There are restaurants, tea shops, coffee shops, bars, bookstores, etc. in the scenic area, with complete facilities for eating, drinking, playing and having fun~
④ You can try the local specialties: Qianshan hot powder, Dengzhan cake, Youtiao with hemp seeds, Wulao fruit...
⑤ plmm wearing Hanfu is very photogenic There are several Hanfu rental shops in the scenic area, it is recommended to compare prices!!!
The flame festival performances at night are almost all in front of Zhongmiao Pavilion, remember to go early to get a good seat!
@The cable car is open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. After taking the cable car up the mountain, walk for another 15 minutes to the Taoist temple. I heard that praying here is very effective! Many locals will hike up the mountain to pray The temple also provides vegetarian lunch

Gexian Village, worth visiting!!!
If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city,
come to Gexian Village. The ancient-style buildings,
surrounded by mountains, are enveloped by lush forests and crystal-clear streams. Especially the Tianjing Pool, located in the center of the Gexian Village Resort,
built against the mountain, with a light blue bottom that resembles Van Gogh's starry night,
the scenery is very stunning.
At night, Gexian Village
is truly fantastically beautiful.
