Dragon and Tiger mountain

If you're looking for some peace and quite in nature, this is a great place to visit. It's an ancient place, with a lot of history and here was the beginning of Taoism. It's a half day trip and you can choose your own locations to see. The park cart stops and every park sight and you can choose if you want to see it. # I highly recommend doing the bamboo raft trip at the end of the park. And when you're on the raft buy some zongzi from the ladies in canoes. You can get to the park by city bus or taxi. It's 15 km out if the city. You can also stay at the park in the bear by hotels. If you're there at night watch the show on water called The dream of Tao. #rediscovertravel

🌸Longhu Mountain: A World Natural Heritage site, World Geopark, and a national 5A-level tourist attraction, it is the top-ranked tourist spot in Yingtan City. Although there are many visitors, compared to other places like Lushan, Wugong Mountain, and Huangshan, it is considered less crowded. 🌸Shangqing Ancient Town Part of the Longhu Mountain scenic area, so no separate admission is charged. Known as 'China's number one Taoist town', it has many attractions, such as the Celestial Master's Mansion, Changqing Square, and nearby, one of the four great academies of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Xiangshan Academy, as well as the Taiqing Palace, Dongyue Palace, and more. 🌸Yingtan Museum A national second-level museum, it doesn't have a large number of exhibits, but those interested in Taoist culture might enjoy a visit. 🌸Zhang's Beef Bone Noodles The portion of beef bone is particularly generous, super delicious, stewed until very tender, the meat falls right off the bone, a must-try restaurant! The rice noodles here are not particularly chewy, which seems to be the style in Yingtan. There was already a long queue when I went, definitely worth the wait. 🌸La Shedede Noodle Shop Ordered takeout directly, a very large bowl, with plenty of beef, and only cost a dozen or so yuan, what more could you want. It's a bit spicy, but compared to this, I feel the beef bone noodles taste even better. 🌸Chunhui Main Store This restaurant specializes in Jiangxi stir-fry dishes, ordered taro stir-fried with beef + douban fish, the portions are super large and we couldn't finish it all. The douban fish is very flavorful, and surprisingly it has a sweet taste, which suits my Suzhou palate quite well, a sweet and spicy type.

In a glance across time, we see a thousand years, unveiling the ancient roots of China

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ancestral Celestial Master 'Zhang Daoling' brought his disciples to Yunjin Mountain, where they built huts and practiced alchemy. 'When the elixir was complete, dragons and tigers appeared, and the mountain was thus named.' In the Three Kingdoms period, the fourth-generation descendant traveled from the Shu region to the ancestral altar on Longhu Mountain to 'open the altar and impart the teachings,' a tradition that has continued for nearly 2000 years, preserving Chinese Taoist culture and embodying the essence and values of traditional Chinese culture. Taoism is the foundation of Chinese culture and the source of wisdom in Eastern science; it is deeply rooted in the fertile soil of China, silently providing strong support for the development of today's society, reflecting national and cultural confidence.

Jiangxi, don't hide yourself! Climb the tower in Yingtan Park to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the river

✨ After coming out from Longhu Mountain in Yingtan, I went back to the downtown area of Yingtan and wandered around until I found this park by the Xin River, with a hip-and-gable style building. 🔻Entering from the main entrance of the park, there are two diverging paths to the left and right. The left is an uphill path towards the Mingsi Pavilion, while the right is a gentle slope leading to the Beiji Pavilion and the old wharf. 🍃 In spring, Yingtan Park is full of greenery. The park has a very relaxed atmosphere, and most of the people coming and going are residents living nearby, engaging in activities like playing chess, playing ball, walking, drinking tea, etc. Slow life, slow pace, is fully displayed here. 🏯 The iconic building in the park, Beiji Pavilion, adopts the style of ancient Ming Dynasty architecture from the southern school. It integrates traditional and modern elements based on the original appearance of Beiji Pavilion. To its east, there is also a 'Liuwang Temple' and an ancient stage, with thriving incense and extraordinary bustle. 💨 The day I went there, Beiji Pavilion seemed not to be open to the public. It is said that when it is open, you can climb the tower to overlook the river, with the distant bridge, green trees, and the sky blending with the river, capturing the beauty of both banks of the Xin River. 🚢 The old wharf was once an important port for shipping through the ages in Yingtan. Now, you can still see many sculptures set up in the park, recreating the scenery of that time. There is also a pontoon bridge on the Xin River, connecting the two banks, with many visitors coming and going, and it is also a great place to enjoy the sunset. ➕ Follow me to unlock more city fun! 📍 No. 2, Linyin West Road, Yuelu District, Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province 🚇 Bus routes 15, 2, etc. 💰 Free all day

Luxi river of Dragon and tiger mountain

This is a beautiful, peaceful river in the Dragon and tiger mountain area. It's pure nature, surrounded by greenery, and small mountain peaks. It is accessable by a bamboo raft and there's even a possibility of a personal tour. On the river ladies in small boats sell zongzi (a Chinese sticky rice wrap), they are cheap and good. While going down the river the guide shows how and where people were buried a long time ago. It is a very silent and peaceful ride. While going down the river the guide also talks about the history of this place and ancient rituals. The bamboo rafts are pretty comfortable. #dragonandtiger #Yingtan

Located in the Aegean buffet restaurant at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Yingtan. A good hotel buffet in the Yingtan area. You can go to Longhushan during the day and stay at the Fontainebleau Hotel in the evening to enjoy the swimming pool, comfortable rooms and delicious buffet.

As a Trip traveler and hotel experiencer, I went to a hotel experience in Yingtan, Jiangxi for a year, although not a large brand hotel. But it is also very own. Noon Hotel has a warm hospitality and tastes many local specialties. The taste is very unique and the memory is still fresh.

The animals in Xian Pong Paradise are all sprouting. I don't know if they are stained with the dragon and the tiger. The most attractive thing is the small pig with a slap in the mouth, which can be easily held in his arms and come into contact with him. Alpacas, little squirrels, parrots, and lovely decorations are a paradise for parents.
