Compared to Jingdezhen, I prefer this small city listed by National Geographic
Having traveled to many places in Jiangxi, if you ask me to recommend one must-visit destination, I would suggest Shangrao. This small city, recognized by National Geographic, features Huangling, one of China's most beautiful villages, and Sanqing Mountain, a Taoist sacred mountain and World Natural Heritage site, along with many other hidden gems. It's truly worth spending a few days exploring.
📚 Travel Guide:
🚩 4-day, 3-night itinerary (see route in P4‼️)
🔸Day 1: Take a high-speed train to Shangrao Station → Wangxiangu, stay at Wangxiangu
🔸Day 2: Wangxiangu → Sanqing Mountain, stay at Sanqing Mountain
🔸Day 3: Sanqing Mountain → Huangling → Wunvzhou night view, stay in Wuyuan County
🔸Day 4: Hotel → Wuyuan Station, return by high-speed train
⚠️ For a more relaxed trip, consider staying overnight in Huangling as well, as the area is less crowded before 9 AM. After visiting Huangling, head to Wunvzhou for the night view. During the day, you can explore lesser-known ancient villages like Tancun and Sanyan Bridge.
📷 Must-visit Spots
✅ Wangxiangu (P1-P3): An ancient-style town built on cliffs, reminiscent of a fantasy world. It offers a unique atmosphere at dusk.
✅ Sanqing Mountain (P5): A Taoist sacred mountain and World Natural Heritage site, featuring stunning peaks, ancient trees, and misty clouds, showcasing nature's artistry.
✅ Huangling (P6, P7): Recognized as one of China's most beautiful villages by National Geographic, famous for its rapeseed flower fields.
✅ Wunvzhou (P8-P10): A must-see night view in Wuyuan, with magnificent architecture, bright lights, and spectacular fireworks. Don't miss the traditional iron flower performance.
📌 Tips:
❶ Wunvzhou is mainly for night views and not much to see during the day. It's close to the county, so staying there can save on accommodation costs.
❷ The distances between these attractions are not short, and public transport is not very convenient. It's recommended to rent a car and opt for a one-way rental, as the arrival and departure high-speed train stations are different‼️

I was tricked into going to Wangxiangu Valley...
😎I was tempted by the online photos of Wangxiangu Valley for a long time, but when I went there, I found out the truth:
✅The lighting effects are really beautiful, and you can take in all the beauty. However, if you don't edit the photos, you'll find that the lights are actually scattered.😕
✅In the evening, the lights are at their most beautiful. After dark, the spotlights are all on, but the atmosphere is not as good as when they are half on.🤔
✅The scenic area is a bit crowded, and during holidays, the plank road is easily blocked, which affects the experience.😫
🌟Night tour route:
🎈Route 1 (Night tour route, about 2–3 hours):
Qingyun Bridge ➡️ (via Sanqing Waterfall, Guanyin Waterfall, Rainbow Waterfall) Zuixian Bridge ➡️ Lanyue Bridge ➡️ Bar Street ➡️ Baige Bridge (cross the bridge) ➡️ Xitai Square ➡️ (via Snack Street) Yanpu Square ➡️ Glass Plank Road ➡️ Leimu Bridge ➡️ Scenic Area Exit.
It is recommended to start this route at 5:30 pm, so you can take photos of the sunset and the night view under the blue sky. The scenery is amazing!😍
🎈Route 2 (Half-day tour + night tour route, about 3–4 hours):
Qingyun Bridge ➡️ (via Sanqing Waterfall, Guanyin Waterfall, Rainbow Waterfall) Zuixian Bridge ➡️ Lanyue Bridge ➡️ Bar Street ➡️ Baige Bridge ➡️ Changkong Bridge ➡️ Drifting Square ➡️ Xitai Square ➡️ (via Snack Street) Yanpu Square ➡️ Baihe Cliff (overlooking the panoramic view) ➡️ Glass Plank Road ➡️ Leimu Bridge ➡️ Scenic Area Exit.
📸Photo tips:
👉I tried it myself, and it's really difficult to take good photos with a phone at night.😣
👉For those with a camera, a telephoto lens + tripod will make the photos much better.👏
👉If you want to take photos of people, it is recommended to bring a fill light.💡
✨Photo spots:
👉Leimu Bridge: Great for photos.
👉Z-shaped plank road at night: Very unique and spectacular.😎
👉Baihe Bridge: A must-see photo spot, where you can take photos of Baihe Cliff, villages, streams, and Lanyue Bridge in the same frame. The view is breathtaking.🥰
👉Yanpu Square: Find a second-floor shop, sit on the stone bench, and you can take photos of the cliff and the "moon" in the same frame, which is very artistic.😜
💡Other useful information:

I prefer this small town recommended by National Geographic to Jingdezhen.
|I prefer this small town recommended by National Geographic. I found that this is really an underestimated treasure travel destination.
Wuyuan is like a pastoral scroll, Huizhou architecture and rapeseed flowers complement each other. The unique Danxia landform of Guifeng, the shape of the mountains and stones are different. Wuyuanzhou's characteristic non-legacy experience the charm of traditional culture and Gexian Village is like a fairy world in reality.

Here are some honest thoughts and suggestions about Wangxian Valley that you'll definitely want to hear.
🎇 "Weekend Trip to Wangxian Valley: Essential Tips You Need to Know!"
👀 Is it worth a visit?
Personally, I think it's super worth it 😎! But you have to go at the right time❗️❗️During the day, it's really unremarkable, but when the lights come on at night, wow😍, it's simply stunning! I recommend arriving around 5pm, so you can see both the sunset and the night view! During the blue hour, the sky is blue, and it's absolutely gorgeous😜! The night view is even more amazing, and there are bonfire performances and other shows, so it's very lively🎉!
😫 Be sure to bring a fan!
The entire scenic area is outdoors and has no air conditioning. In the summer, there are a lot of tourists, so it's extremely hot💥! When I went, it was cloudy, and I still sweated a lot💦!
👒 Check the weather forecast in advance!
On sunny days, be sure to bring an umbrella, sunscreen, and a hat! When the sun is out, it's both hot and sunny, and you might get dizzy😵!
🍔 Be sure to bring food and drinks!
Many of the restaurants in the scenic area don't have air conditioning😓😓, so it's too hot to eat there🥵. Only a few restaurants have air conditioning, and during the summer holidays, they might be booked by tour groups, so there might not be any seats😭😨. Bringing your own snacks is a wise choice!
📷 About photo spots!
The two most photogenic spots in the entire scenic area are Baige Bridge and Baihe Cliff! The blue hour is the best time to take photos🤳! If you have a drone, be sure to bring it along. Some of the most popular online angles can only be captured by drone, it's amazing👏!
🏨 About accommodation!
Whether or not to stay in the scenic area depends on your budget! If you have a high budget, stay in a hotel, which is convenient for watching the sunrise the next day🌅. If you have a low budget, stay outside, and you won't have any regrets after seeing the night view~
🏄 If you have plenty of time and want to play in the water, you can go rafting!
The rafting route is very long, with a large drop and fast water flow, it's super exciting😝! Remember to bring quick-drying clothes, water shoes, swimming goggles, a waterproof phone bag, and a disposable bath towel for rafting!
🏞 Scenic spot: Wangxian Valley 🚩 Location: Wangxian Township, Guangxin District, Shangrao City 🎫 Ticket: CNY 120/person 🚄 Transportation: High-speed rail to Shangrao Station, scenic area bus CNY 30/person, or take a taxi

Wangxian Valley, the Valley of the Immortals
Wangxian Valley is a village nestled in the mountains, about a 3-hour train ride from Shanghai, followed by a taxi ride. The atmosphere is very pleasant, and you can take long walks. There are food vendors available. If you visit on weekends, it tends to be quite crowded. The night view is spectacular. Arriving in the afternoon is ideal, as you can explore the entire area within a day. The food prices are reasonable for a tourist spot. If you have time, I highly recommend visiting.

Charming Wangxiangu
🌄【Wangxiangu Secret Realm Tour | Two Days and One Night Deep Tour, Unlock the Hidden Peach Blossom Land】🌸
🌟Day1: Morning Mist, Entering the Fairyland
As soon as you step into Wangxiangu, it's like traveling through a thousand years. The morning mist lingers, with ancient bridges and flowing water, and green bamboo swaying gently. The first recommendation is to walk along the cliffside plank road, with the misty valley beneath your feet and ancient villages on the cliffs in front of you. Every step feels like walking on clouds. In the afternoon, visit the deep alleys of ancient houses, where every brick and tile tells a story. Don't forget to try the authentic farmhouse dishes, which are delicious and soul-stirring.🍲
🌌At night, the starry sky is brilliant. Gather around the fire, chat through the night, listen to the wind, admire the moon, and feel the long-lost tranquility and freedom.
🌅Day2: Exploring Waterfalls, Soul Cleansing
In the morning, wake up to the sound of birds and head to Jiuniu Grand Canyon, where a group of waterfalls cascades down with a thunderous roar and majestic momentum. Standing under the waterfall, feel the cool splash of water droplets and experience a thorough soul cleansing. Then, take a small boat and leisurely float on the emerald water, with green mountains on both sides, feeling like you're in a painting.
🍂Before returning, why not pick up a few souvenirs at the handicraft shop to bring this beauty home? Wangxiangu, a place you won't want to leave once you arrive. Although two days are short, it's enough to make you intoxicated and reluctant to leave.💖

Shangrao, a small city worth visiting, listed in National Geographic
Compared to Jingdezhen, I prefer this small city in Jiangxi - Shangrao! This place is not only listed in National Geographic but also retains its authentic natural beauty and cultural charm, making it perfect for relaxation and exploration.
📅 Three days and four nights travel itinerary:
Day1⃣: Wunvzhou
✨A feeling of returning to the Tang Dynasty✨! The fireworks show and lively atmosphere at night are simply mesmerizing. It is recommended to stay here overnight to experience the ancient style and charm.
Day2⃣: Huangling
Known as the most beautiful village, it is full of life. Especially in autumn🍂 and at dusk🌅, it is so beautiful that you don't want to leave. You can stroll around here all day, and staying overnight is really worth it.
Day3⃣: Wangxiangu
There are cliffs, winding rivers, and ancient streets here. The scenery at dusk is incredibly beautiful. It is recommended to stay overnight to fully appreciate the tranquility and beauty.
Day4⃣: Gexiancun
A village with a fairy-tale feel, where you can go boating and feed fish🐟 during the day, and enjoy the lanterns✨ at night, giving you a sense of time travel. Stay overnight to perfectly end this trip.
Each attraction has its unique charm. Don't rush through them; savoring them slowly is the best choice. Shangrao is truly a treasure city, and every corner is worth spending time exploring.
WhisperChaser
Who exactly is saying that the night view of Wangxian Valley is beautiful?
Isn't it more beautiful during the day?
The night view is beautiful when looking down from Baihe Cliff, but if you want to see the cliff from the valley, you have to come during the day. After it gets dark, you can't see the mountains behind.
Moreover, there are many people at night. If you come early in the morning, I can enjoy it all by myself.
I can only say that each has its own beauty, but I prefer Wangxian Valley during the day.

Wangxiangu
A hidden paradise in the deep mountains.
It was really a stroke of luck! From the train delay at the beginning to the mad dash to catch the transfer, I was already captivated by the scenery of this earthly paradise before even entering Wangxiangu. Starting from 2 PM, I began taking various photos and checking in at different spots. The weather forecast had predicted heavy rain⛈, but fortunately, it didn't rain🌧 and the sun🌞 kindly took an early rest, allowing me to fully enjoy the surprises and thrills that Wangxiangu had to offer in this limited time. I felt the rich cultural atmosphere here and was amazed‼️ by the masterful craftsmanship🤓

In summary, Wangxian Valley is really too 'immortal'! If you also want to experience an adventure in the world of immortal heroes, then set off now! Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Valley of the Immortals
Valley of the Immortals is a breathtaking destination that combines natural scenery, cultural landscapes, and eco-tourism. It's definitely worth exploring!
Valley of the Immortals is renowned for its unique Danxia landforms and crystal-clear streams, each spot appearing as if it's been meticulously sculpted by nature. I strolled along the winding paths, flanked by lush forests, breathing in the fresh air, feeling utterly relaxed.
The architectural style within the valley is ancient and charming, with cobblestone paths and wooden lofts that seem to transport you back in time. I particularly love the old stone bridge that spans the stream. Standing on the bridge, feeling the breeze on my face, the distant mountains are a feast for the eyes.
🍂Autumn is one of the most beautiful seasons in Valley of the Immortals, with mountains covered in red leaves, a tapestry of colors. Here, time seems to slow down, inviting you to stop and quietly savor this tranquility and beauty.
Of course, what's a trip without delicious food? The local farmhouse dishes in Valley of the Immortals are unforgettable, especially the made with fresh local ingredients, a true delight for the taste buds.
The guesthouses here, both in terms of service and environment, are top-notch. Staying here for a night, waking up to the sound of birds and opening the window to a view of mountains shrouded in mist, is truly a treat.
In summary, Valley of the Immortals is a place that makes you want to return again and again. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find a peaceful haven, then this is definitely a great choice.

People's Daily didn't deceive me, absolutely stunning! Wangxian Valley, a journey of chasing the moon among colorful clouds!
You must take a trip to Shangrao in Jiangxi to see the world of immortals on the cliffs. If there is truly a world of immortals on earth, I think it's right here. Hidden valleys, steep cliffs, and the scenery of mountains and waters, especially when the night falls and the lights are bright, it's too shocking, just like the fairyland in my dreams.
First, take the high-speed train to Shangrao high-speed train station, then go to the East Bus Station to take a direct bus to the scenic area, which only costs 30 yuan per person and takes about an hour and a half. The ticket price is 120 yuan, and the opening hours are from 8:00 to 22:00 (entry stops at 20:30). The scenic area is not very large, it is recommended to arrive before two o'clock in the afternoon, and be sure to leave time to enjoy the night view!
There are two particularly distinctive routes within the scenic area, among which the most worth visiting are the high mountain waterfalls, waterfalls, cliff homestays, Lanyue Bridge, and White Crane Cliff. Following the route, you can pass by the high mountain waterfalls, and you can capture the full view on the glass bridge, the lights at night are even more fairy-like! Lanyue Bridge is the most photogenic bridge in the scenic area, if you want to take a panoramic shot, you can walk further back, there is a resting plank road, where you can capture the waterwheel, Lanyue Bridge, and the idyllic scene of small bridges and flowing water.
The scenic area also offers Hanfu rental services, which, paired with the antique scenery, make for great photos. The snack street has chicken legs, sweet potatoes, octopus balls, fruit salads, dessert shops, and Hong Kong-style beef offal, as well as restaurants and bars for you to choose from. Travelers must pay attention to accommodation! Cliff homestays are expensive, but you can also choose countryside homestays outside the scenic area, which are very cost-effective and provide shuttle services.
Precautions include: bring an umbrella in case of unstable weather; wear comfortable shoes for walking and eating; bring a power bank in case your phone runs out of battery; if you want to take great shots, you can bring a drone; no need to bring food, as there are various foods and bars in the scenic area.
The night is the most beautiful time in Wangxian Valley, be sure to wait until the lights are on at night before leaving, and enjoy the night view! I hope this guide can help you enjoy Wangxian Valley happily and leave wonderful memories!

Real Experience Coming Back from Wangxian Valley
Sharing the real experience of Wangxian Valley!
1. The scenic area is not very large, but it's quite well constructed with a sense of hierarchy. The architecture is very distinctive, as if you've entered a world of immortals and martial arts. The night view is even more beautiful!
2. Transportation is convenient. It's just an hour's taxi ride from Shangrao Station to the scenic area.
3. The food street is well established, with prices not high, a rich variety of food, and no repetition, just like Wuzhen.
4. It's suitable for zoning out, and wearing Hanfu for photoshoots should yield a high success rate.
5. You must stay in the Xianxu accommodations within the scenic area. The homestays outside the scenic area have no advantages other than being cheap. It's inconvenient to enter and exit, and the experience will be much worse.
