Two-day tour of Qi Yun Mountain, experience the beauty of Danxia landform and ancient villages Today I'm going to share with you a super awesome two-day tour of Qi Yun Mountain that I just experienced. Departing from Huangshan North Station, the scenery along the way is picturesque, as if stepping into a long scroll of landscape. Transportation: We started from the high-speed rail Huangshan North Station, took a direct bus or taxi to Qi Yun Mountain, the transportation is very convenient. Accommodation: In Qi Yun Mountain town, we chose an antique inn with a quiet environment and complete facilities. The price for one night is very affordable, although the specific cost is not mentioned, but believe me, it's definitely worth it. Attractions: On the first day, we visited Qi Yun Mountain, a scenic spot famous for its Danxia landform, which is breathtaking. We took the Yuehua cable car up the mountain and enjoyed the views of the cloud street, cliff carvings, Danxia landform, etc. The tour route includes Wangxian Tower, Shouzi Rock, Zhenxian Cave Mansion, Yuehua Street, Incense Burner Peak, Tai Su Palace, Small Pot Sky, Yuxu Palace, Ziyun Pass, Wulao Peak, Fangla Fort, Danxia Corridor and the highest peak. Finally, we took the cable car down the mountain, looking at the scenery under our feet, as if in a fairyland. Bilian Pond: There are cliff carvings here, which is a good place for photography. Yuehua Street: A village on the top of the mountain with shops, restaurants and homestays. Walking on the ancient streets, it's like going back to ancient times. Small Pot Sky: The hidden 'Gourd Gate', suitable for photography. Standing here, it's like being in a painting. Yuxu Palace: The red Taoist temple is located under the cliff, very stunning, also a good place for photography. Tour time: The whole tour up the mountain takes about 4-5 hours. So I suggest you guys start early. Precautions: Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. After all, we have to walk a long mountain road to enjoy these beautiful views. The last cable car down the mountain is at 16:50, if you miss it, you'll have to walk down. So be sure to keep track of time. There are many attractions in Qi Yun Mountain, if you want to have a deep tour, it is recommended to plan your itinerary in advance. Be sure to pay attention to safety on the mountain, do not climb places without safety protection such as rocks. Please keep the environment clean in the scenic area, do not litter. Overall, this two-day tour of Qi Yun Mountain made me feel the grandeur of nature and the charm of culture. If you also want to have a spontaneous trip, why not come to Qi Yun Mountain!

Mount Qiyun of 2061.3 M height, locates at Shangyou County of Jiangxi Province, and one of the Ten Famouse Mountains in Jiangxi. As it's still not reachable by any pave road, it stays very wild and natural for hikers. It's highly recommended to have a 2-day hike and camp on the mountain top at night. On the way to the top, you would come across a bamboo forest, then thick woods, and then reach a grassland with lots of lovely cow families. What I love this mountain the most, must be the clouds surrounding it, and the stunning sunset, moon-rise, and sunrise! As we just finished enjoying the beautiful sunset, turn around, there was the soft moon rised from the pink and light blue horizon afar. First and best mountain camping experience up till now. * It's quite windy at the mountain top, do prepare a proper sleeping bag. * There is a very small stream for water, but a little bit dirty, need to boil before drinking. * Bring enough food with you as there is no supply on the way up. #momentsmission #beautifulsunsets#naturalwonders#camping#hiking

Nanchang Forestry Academy Cherry Blossom Avenue｜ Who knows! Half of Nanchang's spring romance is hidden in the Cherry Blossom Avenue of the Forestry Academy✨ The 350-meter flower path is woven into a natural floral dome by nearly a thousand cherry trees.

Spring in March is the off-season for Shangbao Terraces, with no entrance fee. The scenery is in a "preparation phase"—there are no golden rice fields of autumn harvest, nor the advertised spring "mirror terraces" (which require flooding, but currently there is none). Right now, the terraces are mostly lush green, with some areas dotted with rapeseed flowers and purple crown vetch. Visiting now is mainly to appreciate the terraced layers, relax, and pay more attention to its agricultural features. 🚌 Public Transportation: 1️⃣ From Chongyi Bus Station, there are buses to the Terraces Visitor Center parking lot (19 RMB) or near the Yuekelong Self-service Supermarket at the foot of the mountain (15 RMB). ① At the Yuekelong Self-service Supermarket area, you can contact the scenic area vehicles to the Visitor Center, with a single ticket price of 10 RMB, and you can also take a motorcycle (cost unknown). I chose to walk. ② There are few buses to the Visitor Center, only two trips a day (6:40; 14:40). The bus from the Terraces Visitor Center to Chongyi Bus Station departs at 16:10 in the afternoon. The bus leaves as soon as it arrives and does not wait, so arrive early. 2️⃣ Carpooling from Rucheng, Chenzhou is difficult; drivers usually consider it only if the fare is around 100 RMB. Initially, I planned to come directly from Rucheng, but later changed the route due to time arrangements. 🏠 Accommodation: There are many guesthouses at the foot of the mountain, generally around 100 RMB per night; guesthouses on the mountain are priced at 300 RMB or more (online listed prices). Many mountain guesthouses are built beside the terraces. 🍜 Dining: Currently, there are few dining options operating within the scenic area. You can eat at the foot of the mountain or prepare some supplies at the supermarket there. 🛤 Under Construction: At the top at Bagua Field, workers are building scenic area rail transit. They said once completed, you will be able to take a vehicle from Bagua Field to the neighboring Wanchangshan Scenic Area. 🗺 Scenic Area Tour Routes & Duration: 1️⃣ For the entire route on foot, it is recommended to allow five hours or more to slowly enjoy the terraces along the way and linger longer where you like. 2️⃣ Besides Bagua Field, there are several other terraces on side routes worth visiting. After visiting, you can follow the signs to continue on another road; you don’t have to return the same way.

Spring is the perfect time to enjoy flowers in Jiangxi! Nine types of flowers bloom in succession, with blooming periods lasting several months. Viewing spots are scattered throughout the province, from city parks to hidden mountain waters, from the ancient Meiling Trail to terraced flower seas—everywhere is scenic, and every step is filled with blossoms. [Plum Blossoms] From February to March, the Ba Da Shan Ren Meihu Scenic Area in Nanchang features white walls and black tiles reflecting sparse shadows. Near the Lushan Cableway, red walls and pink plum blossoms create a cool, picturesque scene. The Meiguan Ancient Trail in Ganzhou winds through Meiling, and over 5,000 plum trees bloom in Gexian Village, Shangrao, where the "World's Number One Plum," Longmei, exudes extraordinary charm. [Cherry Blossoms] From February to April, the Cherry Blossom Avenue at Jiangxi Academy of Forestry is like a shower of falling petals. In Wunvzhou, Shangrao, cherry blossoms reflect in the water among white walls and black tiles, and when the night lights come on, it feels like the Tang and Song dynasties. Due to its higher altitude, Mingyue Mountain in Yichun sees cherry blossoms bloom earlier, offering a unique wild mountain charm. [Peach Blossoms] From March to April, peach blossoms bloom late but with more elegance at Lushan Mountain Temple. Peach Blossom Island in Ganzhou stands by the river, and boating through it feels like entering the "Peach Blossom Spring." In Wuyuan, peach blossoms and rapeseed flowers bloom together, weaving three colors among white walls and black tiles, painting the richest spring scene. [Magnolias] From March to April, magnolias quietly bloom between glass curtain walls under the Twin Towers in Honggutan, Nanchang, blending strength and grace. At places like Flower Language World in Longhushan and Magnolia Garden at the foot of Wugong Mountain in Pingxiang, ancient temple yellow walls complement the elegant magnolias, creating a lasting Zen atmosphere. [Chinese Roses] With an extended blooming period from April to November, Nanchang Riverside Chinese Rose Park boasts a wide variety and vibrant colors. The greenery belt along Bayi Bridge stretches along the river, where cycling and walking are accompanied by floral fragrance. The Chinese rose belt along the Xinjiang River in Shangrao is full of wild charm, gently unfolding along the riverbank in the spring breeze. [Rapeseed Flowers] From March to April, the 100,000-mu terraced rapeseed fields in Wuyuan layer upon layer, dotted with Hui-style architecture. The rapeseed fields at the foot of Wugong Mountain in Anfu, Ji'an, are free and boundless. On Yangzi Island in Nanchang's Ganjiang River center, flower seas with small paths allow for immersive "people in the flower sea" photo opportunities. [Tulips] From March to April, the tulip carpets and windmills in Nanchang Pioneer Town create a fairy-tale atmosphere. At Fenghuanggou Scenic Area, tulips and cherry blossoms bloom together, colorful on the ground and pink clouds overhead. Large plantations also exist in the southern area of Jiangxi Agricultural University and by the bridge in Shangrao, doubling the springtime romance. [Camellias] From December to March of the following year, the red camellias bloom proudly in the snow at Lushan, offering a unique, sharp poetic charm in late winter and early spring. The Camellia Garden at Jiangxi Academy of Forestry has a rich variety, white as jade, red as fire, and pink like rosy clouds. Under the camellia trees in Nanchang People's Park, there is a gentle undertone in the daily urban life. [Azaleas] From April to May, the mountains of Jinggangshan are ablaze with vibrant azaleas, passionate and magnificent. The flower sea at Huangyangjie echoes history with its undulating waves. Azaleas bloom among the strange peaks and mist of Sanqing Mountain, appearing and disappearing intermittently. The large, gorgeous high mountain azaleas of Yangmingshan in Ganzhou and the azaleas reflected in the water at Xiannv Lake in Xinyu blend mountain and water scenery indistinguishably.

At the border of Jiangxi and Hunan lies a seriously underrated treasure hiking trail: Qiyun Mountain! No need to squeeze with crowds at Wugong Mountain; here, the sea of clouds, meadows, strange rocks, and the Sanjie Monument that spans three provinces in one step—every scene is worth saving! This time, I started from Shangyou in Jiangxi, hiking about 6 hours to the summit. At first, I complained that the trail was a bit wild, but when I climbed the Hero Slope and saw that endless golden meadow, all my fatigue vanished. When the wind blows, the grass waves roll like the sea, and the distant mountains layer like an ink painting. That sense of openness is truly healing. The most amazing part is the sea of clouds! When the first ray of sunlight pierces through the clouds, the sea of clouds beneath looks like swirling cotton candy, with only the mountain peaks poking out like little tips. It feels like standing in a fairyland. That kind of shock can only be experienced in person. There are many photo spots along the way: - Sanjie Monument: Standing here, Jiangxi is on the left, Hunan on the right, and Guangdong in front—who else has experienced stepping across three provinces in one step! - Hero Slope: At 1,728 meters elevation, the stone monument here is the best proof of your perseverance. Be sure to take a photo to remember it. - Signposts: The Qiyun Mountain summit points to Hunan·Guidong and Jiangxi Wuzhifeng. Each arrow points to different scenery, full of exploration fun. This place is down-to-earth—no cable cars, no convenience stores, just the purest mountain wilderness. You can roll on the meadows, daydream on the strange rocks, or slowly walk along the ridge, leaving all your worries behind. ⚠️ Hiking Tips: 1. Be sure to wear non-slip hiking shoes; some sections are quite steep. 2. Bring enough water and energy bars; there are very few supply points along the way. 3. The temperature difference on the mountain is large; remember to bring warm clothing. 4. Beginners are advised to join a group or hire a local guide; safety first. 📍Detailed address: Qiyun Mountain, Wuzhifeng Township, Shangyou County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province!

Surrounding location and appearance: Surrounded by mountains and water, driving from Ganzhou to Chongyi County, the hotel is located within the Yangmingshan Forest Park scenic area with precise navigation for direct arrival. The exterior features a modern minimalist glass curtain wall design, which is quite recognizable when the lights come on at night. The hotel has a specialty private kitchen restaurant offering local specialties like Nan'an salted duck. Whether for business trips or leisure vacations, the location is very convenient. The only downside is the lack of large shopping centers nearby; if you want to visit a mall at night, you might need to take a taxi. However, the county town is small, so it’s not much of an inconvenience. Service experience: Warmth in the details reflects the small town’s hospitality. At check-in, the staff proactively offered a warm cup of luo han guo (monk fruit) tea. Since it was the rainy spring season, this thoughtful gesture greatly increased my good impression. When the room attendant saw cold medicine on my bedside table, the next day she left an extra box of tissues and a handwritten note saying “Wishing you a speedy recovery.” Such attention to detail feels more personal than many chain hotels. The hotel has 8 floors, and from the higher floors, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of most of Yangmingshan Forest Park. Dining experience: Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, while lunch and dinner were decent. Breakfast was buffet style with more variety than expected: freshly cooked local Chongyi fish noodles with rich flavor, authentic Cantonese dim sum like steamed dumplings and shumai, freshly ground soy milk, and seasonal fruits. For dinner, I tried Nan'an salted duck and fish head soup at the hotel’s private kitchen; the ingredients were fresh and the seasoning excellent. It’s recommended to inform the chef of your taste preferences in advance. If you don’t want to dine at the hotel, there are large supermarkets and shopping malls within 2-3 kilometers nearby with reasonable prices. Room details: Comfort is the priority. I booked a deluxe king room which was spacious, estimated to be over 35 square meters. The king beds come in 2.4 meters and 2.6 meters sizes—I absolutely loved this big bed. The hotel features floor-to-ceiling windows that provide excellent natural lighting. The bedding is made of 80-thread-count pure cotton, with moderate firmness, and pillows come in two heights, which is good for neck support. The biggest surprise was the smart curtains; for someone like me who doesn’t want to manually open or close curtains, a single button controls them automatically, adding a full sense of technology…!

Dear parents, Qi Yun Mountain is truly an amazing destination for family travel. Today, I’m sharing two routes for you to choose from: hiking or cable car. 🚶‍♀️ Parent-Child Hiking Route: If you choose to hike, there are two options. One is to start climbing from Dengfeng Bridge, which takes about 50 minutes on foot to reach the scenic area entrance. If you want to save money and effort, you can navigate to Banling, where there is a parking lot nearby, so parking won’t be a problem. Compared to Dengfeng Bridge, this route involves less climbing. After entering the scenic area, the route is as follows: Wangxian Tower (Suoyuehua Trail / Hiking Ticket Checkpoint) ➡️ Mengzhen Bridge ➡️ Shouzi Rock ➡️ Yitian Gate / Elephant Trunk Rock ➡️ Zhenxian Cave (Cliff Carvings, Immortal Cave, Bilian Pond) ➡️ Ertian Gate ➡️ Caishen Hall ➡️ Santian Gate (Incense Burner Peak Viewing Platform) ➡️ Yuehua Tianjie (offers food and lodging) ➡️ Xiaohutian 📷 ➡️ Yuxu Palace 📷 / Tang Yin Stele ➡️ Wulao Peak ➡️ Ziyun Pass 📷 ➡️ Hanging Walkway ➡️ Fangla Cave / Fangla Village ➡️ Danxia Corridor 📷 (Cliff Carvings at the Highest Peak) ➡️ Highest Peak / Moon Viewing Pavilion ➡️ Yuehua Tianjie ➡️ Visitor Center / Baixue Restaurant direction for descent ➡️ Dongtian Fudi ➡️ Wangxian Tower (descend by cable car or hiking) 🚠 Parent-Child Cable Car Route: Take the cable car directly to the mountain top, then follow this route: Cable Car Terminal ➡️ Santian Gate ➡️ Yuehua Tianjie ➡️ Xiaohutian ➡️ Yuxu Palace / Tang Yin Stele ➡️ Wulao Peak ➡️ Ziyun Pass ➡️ Hanging Walkway ➡️ Fangla Cave / Fangla Village ➡️ Danxia Corridor ➡️ Highest Peak / Moon Viewing Pavilion ➡️ Yuehua Tianjie ➡️ Visitor Center / Baixue Restaurant direction for descent ➡️ Dongtian Fudi ➡️ Wangxian Tower (descend by cable car) 🎈 Parent-Child Highlights: 🌟 Wangxian Tower: Climb here for a panoramic view overlooking the entire Qi Yun Mountain scenery. 🌟 Mengzhen Bridge: Built in the 34th year of the Ming Jiajing era, there is a thousand-year-old zelkova tree on the left side of the bridge, whose name sounds like “passing the imperial exam.” Students pray here to wish for “success and dreams coming true.” 🌟 Shouzi Rock: Features a giant calligraphy character “Shou” (Longevity) carved in regular script, 9.9 feet tall and 6.6 feet wide, symbolizing “returning to one after ninety-nine, smoothness in sixes.” It is said that touching under the character will help you live past 100 years. Visitors always touch it to pray for blessings 🧧. 🌟 Zhenxian Cave: Not only has exquisite cliff carvings but also mysterious immortal caves and the clear green Bilian Pond, which looks like a fairyland. 🌟 Yuehua Tianjie: Huizhou-style architecture arranged beautifully, where you can slow down and enjoy local delicacies 🍚. 🌟 Xiaohutian: Uniquely shaped like a small teapot fairyland, perfect for photo ops 📷. Kids will feel like they’re on an adventure. 🌟 Yuxu Palace: With a long history and simple, solemn architecture, it houses the Tang Yin Stele, rich in cultural heritage. 🌟 Danxia Corridor: Offers views of the cliff carvings at the highest peak. Standing on the corridor, one side is a steep cliff, the other a magnificent landscape. The cable car route is relatively easy, suitable for families with children, and you won’t miss the main scenic spots of Qi Yun Mountain. No matter which way you choose, Qi Yun Mountain will not disappoint you. Come and start your parent-child journey at Qi Yun Mountain now💕

Location of the Scenic Area: Shangbao Terraces are located in Shangbao Township, western Chongyi County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, situated in the Zhuguang Mountain area on the southern slope of the Luoxiao Mountains, with the highest elevation reaching 1,260 meters. The terraces wind along the mountain terrain, spiraling from the foot to the summit, covering a vast scale. It takes about 2.5 hours by car from Ganzhou city center. The area is connected by the Daguang Expressway and the Xiarong Expressway. Although located in mountainous terrain, the transportation network is relatively well-developed, making it suitable for self-driving or taking tourist shuttle buses. Terrace Landscape: Shangbao Terraces are the largest Hakka terraces in China, known as the "Heavenly Farmland." The terrace clusters are distributed across dozens of natural villages, centered around four major areas: Shuainan, Chishui, Lianghe, and Zhengjing. The terrace lines resemble chains or ribbons, with some sections reaching up to a hundred layers. In spring, the water reflects like a mirror; in summer, green waves roll; in autumn, the rice ears turn golden; and in winter, snow highlights the layered terraces, creating spectacular seasonal scenery. Unique layouts such as "Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon" and "Bagua Fields" reflect the wisdom of the Hakka ancestors in harmonizing with nature. Agricultural Culture: The terraces continue over 800 years of Hakka mountain farming civilization, still preserving traditional farming methods such as ox plowing, hand transplanting rice seedlings, and using fish lanterns for weeding. The annual "Plowing Festival" held on the beginning of spring is distinctive, featuring rituals like worshipping the God of Agriculture, singing mountain songs, and dancing the spring ox. The terraces also retain an ancient water system network, with bamboo channels diverting springs and irrigation systems showcasing the ingenuity of ancient hydraulic engineering. Special Experiences: Visitors can explore deep into the terraces along the bluestone paths and take photos of the sea of clouds over the terraces from viewing platforms such as Guifan, Dapaizi, and Shanqiling. Many local homestays are renovated from rammed earth old houses, offering views of the layered fields right from the window. In the early morning, guests can experience handicrafts like bamboo weaving and making glutinous rice cakes. In the evening, it is common to see villagers carrying farming tools on their shoulders and herding cattle home, painting a pastoral picture. Local agricultural products such as red rice, high mountain tea, and bamboo shoots have unique flavors. Travel Tips: The best viewing periods are during the irrigation season from May to June for the "Mirror Terraces" and from September to October when the rice is ripe for the "Golden Terraces." It is recommended to plan a two-day, one-night trip, arriving in the afternoon on the first day to watch the sunset and viewing the sea of clouds and sunrise early the next morning. The walking paths in the terrace area are steep, so anti-slip footwear is necessary. Nearby attractions such as Chongyi Yangmingshan National Forest Park and the Niedu Karst Caves can be combined for a three-day in-depth tour. Overall Evaluation: Shangbao Terraces are not only a stunning land art but also a living museum carrying the survival wisdom of the Hakka mountain people. There is no excessive commercialization here, only layers of terraces telling ancient stories of coexistence between humans and nature. For travelers who yearn for pastoral poetry and are passionate about agricultural culture, this landscape carved by a thousand years of time is worth a special visit.

Family! Who knows about this! Previously, when we went to the Longji Terraces, it was packed with people, every photo was full of heads, and the elderly and kids were exhausted from walking. This time, we found the Shangbao Terraces in Chongyi, Ganzhou, and it truly opened up a new world. 🚌 The scenic area is quite large, so you can choose to take the shuttle bus 💰 30 RMB/person (8:30 AM - 5:30 PM) Unlimited rides on the shuttle bus on the same day The best part is the morning mist! We stayed at a Hakka guesthouse right next to the terraces. In the morning, when you open the window, the mist floats around the layers of terraces like a fairyland, and every photo looks perfect without any editing. Taking kids to experience farming is super fun—learning to plant rice seedlings and catch rice field fish with local villagers. The kids got covered in mud but didn’t want to leave; my parents strolled slowly along the gentle ridges, enjoying the breeze and scenery, saying it was much more comfortable than walking in a city park. 🏞️ Must-visit spots: 1️⃣ Ba☯tian: The highest altitude area in the Shangbao Terraces scenic spot, surrounded by green mountains, a great place for photos; 2️⃣ Shanggouzi Viewing Platform: Located in the center of the Shangbao Terraces, known as the "Tiger Back Terraces," its shape resembles a crouching tiger; 3️⃣ Muzipai and Dapaizi Viewing Platforms: Located at the lower part of the Shangbao Terraces, the scenery is poetic and picturesque, like a giant ink painting. The guesthouse owner was super warm in the evening, making us bamboo tube rice and Hakka stuffed tofu, all with freshly picked vegetables from the fields, very healthy. The key is that there are really few people in the terraces, no need to squeeze for photos, you can explore however you want. It’s really perfect for bringing elderly and kids to relax and unwind.

It was definitely worth the trip! I saw the sunrise, sunset, and starry sky 🌃 The only downside was not seeing the vast sea of ​​clouds. Qiyun Mountain, at 2061 meters, is the highest peak in southern Jiangxi, and I've heard it's the "second Wugong Mountain of Jiangxi." It boasts alpine meadows, sea of ​​clouds, sunrises, and starry skies, making it a great choice for backpacking and camping. The slopes are relatively gentle, and the trails are well-marked. Starting Point: Guanggushan Farm Distance: Approximately 16 kilometers, 1500 meters elevation gain 🌟Equipment Recommendations • Essentials: Trekking poles, non-slip hiking boots, waterproof jacket, down jacket/fleece jacket (nearly 0°C at the summit at night) • Sleeping System: Tent, sleeping bag (temperature rating -5°C), egg case/air mattress, sleeping mat • Supplies: 2L water (available at the summit shop but expensive), energy snacks • Others: Headlamp, power bank, sunscreen, knee pads, garbage bags ⚠️Precautions 1. It is very windy at the summit. During the day, a quick-drying jacket or a softshell jacket is sufficient for active activities, but it gets very cold at night. Wear a merino wool jacket and down jacket at the summit. A knitted hat is essential. Stay warm. 2. The wind was incredibly strong when camping on the mountaintop. We made sure to drive in the tent pegs and tighten the guy lines. My teammates' tents were damaged this morning. 3. There was so much trash on the trail. I hope everyone can bring their belongings down to protect the outdoor environment. 😋 Thanks to my teammates, we were lucky enough to have eight dishes and a soup! 🌅 I hope everyone can see the sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds!!

My first-ever sea of clouds experience ☁✨ Who understands, family! Qiyun Mountain in Ganzhou really locks romance at the mountaintop! Drove from downtown Shenzhen in the morning, had lunch on the way, and arrived at the foot of the mountain at Guanggu Mountain Villa around 3 PM. Started the climb leisurely~ Chose the Shangyou route, 7.5 km with a very gentle ascent, passing through bamboo forests and crossing small streams. When tired, just sit on the grassy slope to rest; the evening breeze is super pleasant 🌿 After climbing for over 4 hours, I reached the Hero Slope just in time. As soon as I stood still, I was speechless at the sea of clouds before me! The waves of clouds rolled and filled the mountain valley, with distant peaks poking out like floating in a fairyland~ But the best was yet to come! After dark, the blood moon slowly rose, an orange-red moon hanging above the sea of clouds, paired with a sky full of stars, and I even saw several meteors streak across—pure happiness overload 😭 At night, continued climbing to the summit to camp (you can also camp at Hero Slope). You can rent tents at the summit; be sure to rent a hard-shell tent for 268 RMB per person, and add 80 RMB for a blanket if there’s a second person, but it’s best to bring your own sleeping bag for extra warmth. It’s freezing at the top!!! 🥶 Lazy-friendly ✅ Although it’s a bit chilly at the summit, wrapped in a sleeping bag watching the starry sky is amazing. The next day, got up at 5:30 AM, no need to go far, just a ten-minute walk to the summit to watch the sunrise! Watching the morning sun dye the sea of clouds golden red, the clouds changing from milky white to orange-pink, the whole world lighting up in that moment, all the climbing fatigue was worth it! Also saw Buddha’s light, sunlight shining on the sea of clouds like a halo, a circle, and a faint rainbow-like color. On the way down, I realized the whole route is scenic. On the first day, it was already dark when I climbed, so I only saw the sea of clouds but not the scenery. The autumn yellows are breathtaking. 📝 Super practical guide (tested and reliable): ✔️ Navigation location: Guanggu Mountain Farmhouse (easy parking, can replenish supplies) ✔️ Route: Prioritize the Shangyou route! Gentle ascent and great scenery, even beginners can handle it ✔️ Gear: Wear non-slip shoes (some sections have gravel), bring a light jacket (big temperature difference at the summit), pack some snacks and water (mountain shops only sell instant noodles and water) ✔️ Best season: October to November for frequent sea of clouds, avoid the rainy season for better chances to see the beauty No need to wait for holidays, just two days on the weekend is enough! Leave all your worries in the mountains and go on a date with the sea of clouds and starry moon~

Yangming Lake now! Free admission!! For just 40 yuan for the boat ticket, you can tour three islands. The Gannan Arboretum 🌲 is the top choice for autumn viewing and photography. 🌿 The maple leaves at Gannan Arboretum are now red, and every casual shot looks like a masterpiece, each frame a visual delight; the wooden boardwalk around the lake is easy to walk on, completely flat with no climbing, suitable for both elderly and children; the lake reflections are stunning, on sunny days it really looks like a spilled palette, every snap is wallpaper-worthy. ⏰ Practical tips: ▪️ Visiting time: It’s recommended to go in the morning, check the boat departure times, and take your time strolling and shooting comfortably. ▪️ Boat departure times: I’ve posted the exact times in the comments. During the busy autumn weekends, boats depart as soon as they are full, with departures every ten minutes or so, very efficient. ▪️ Transportation: Self-driving: Navigate to “Yangming Lake Dam Ticket Center,” parking is convenient. Students: Take the Qiancheng Intercity Bus (16 yuan) to Shangyou County, then transfer to the free tourist shuttle bus directly to the scenic area 🚌. The last return boat from Gannan Arboretum is at 4:30 PM, so be mindful of your visiting time. Make sure to choose a sunny day, it’s really great for photography!! If you want to escape the city noise on weekends, enjoy autumn and take photos, this place is definitely a great choice~

On Saturday, November 29, just returned from a visit, everyone was still reluctant to leave. It truly is the best place in Ganzhou to enjoy autumn colors!!! The park features a 3-kilometer circular boardwalk, suitable for all ages! There are two different routes from Ganzhou to Chongyi Gannan Arboretum. 📍Route A: Drive 🚗 Direct by land Ganzhou → Chongyi → Arboretum, the fastest route, about 1.5 hours in total. Navigate directly 🧭 to the [Gannan Botanical Garden Ticket Office]. You can drive right to the entrance, parking 🅿️ is convenient and free, and the ticket costs 20 RMB per person. 📍Route B: Combined land and water transport 🚗🚤 Ganzhou → Shangyou Doushui Lake → Take a boat → Arboretum. First navigate to Shangyou Yangming Lake (Dam Pier Entrance), then take a boat to [Gannan Arboretum]. The boat ticket 🎫 costs 40 RMB 💰 and includes round-trip fare and arboretum admission. ⚠️‼️: The first boat departs at 9:30 AM. There are more boats on weekends, and they depart once enough passengers have boarded. Be sure to check the return time in advance. 🔔 The shuttle bus and boat schedule are attached in the last picture. 🍁🍃🍂🌿 Autumn colors wait for no one, quickly choose your route and set off!

At the junction of Hunan, Jiangxi, and Guangdong provinces lies a "cloud town" nurtured by mist and fog—Guidong. It doesn't rely on popularity but boasts Hunan's earliest liberated county, one of the nation's first "China Natural Oxygen Bars," the main peak of the Luoxiao Mountains—Qiyun Mountain, the millennium-old "Bamian Mountain Ancient Trail," the origin of "Linglong Tea," and one of the "Red Army Long March's starting points." I just returned from this light forest-style one-day trip, costing less than 600 yuan per person, where you can breathe in plenty of negative oxygen ions, drink the first spring tea oil powder, climb the sea of clouds viewing platform, and capture shots with a Studio Ghibli animation vibe! 🚄 Transportation (round trip 400 yuan) Recommended to start from Chenzhou—take the high-speed train to Chenzhou West Station, then taxi or carpool directly to Guidong County Town (about 1.5 hours, 60 yuan per person); if driving yourself, it's even more flexible, taking the Wushen Expressway + Guixin Expressway, a total of 220 km, with fuel and tolls about 320 yuan, split between two people only 160 yuan each! (Note: Guidong has no train station and no direct high-speed train yet, but it’s only a 90-minute drive from Chenzhou, making it very cost-effective.) ⛰️ Morning: Qiyun Mountain National Forest Park (ticket 65 yuan, including shuttle) No need to hike hard! Take the shuttle directly to the "Sea of Clouds Viewing Platform" (1,700 meters above sea level). Once at the top, it’s like stepping into a painting: waves of clouds rolling like the sea, pine forests floating on the crests, and if lucky, you might see a Buddha’s light. On the way, check in at the stone monument of Hunan’s highest peak, the millennium-old rhododendron slope (in full bloom in May), and the Red Army trench site—this is where the Red Sixth Army Corps set out on their western expedition. 🍜 Lunch: Linglong Tea Oil Powder + Guidong Yellow Glutinous Rice Cake (35 yuan per person) A local breakfast favorite! Cold-pressed oil from high-mountain Linglong tea seeds mixed with noodles, topped with freshly fried soybeans, chopped chili, pickled radish, and scallions—fragrant but not greasy, 10 yuan a bowl; the yellow glutinous rice cake is steamed with glutinous rice and gardenia water, soft, slightly bitter with a fresh aroma, 5 yuan for two pieces. At the old street’s "Grandma’s Tea Oil Powder," two people can eat warmly and satisfyingly for 70 yuan total. 🌿 Afternoon: Shatian Wanshou Palace or Bamian Mountain Ancient Trail (choose one) If you want to learn some history, choose Shatian Wanshou Palace (free): In 1928, Mao Zedong issued the "Three Main Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention" here (the origin of the later "Eight Points for Attention!"), with blue brick courtyards, Red Army slogan walls, and the original intention lecture hall—very immersive; if you want a relaxed photo shoot, choose the entrance section of Bamian Mountain Ancient Trail (free): stone steps winding into the forest, mossy patches, babbling streams, a 30-minute walk will get you the "deep forest deer sighting" atmosphere. 🎁 Before heading back: bring a jar of "Guidong Linglong Tea" or a pack of "Qiyun Mountain Wild Kiwi Dried Fruit" (30 yuan each) A nationally recognized geographic indication product, spring tea has a fresh and sweet aftertaste; the dried kiwi is sweet, sour, soft, and chewy, 30 yuan per bag, lightweight and healthy. 💰 Total cost breakdown: Transportation 320 + Tickets 65 + Meals 70 + Souvenirs 30 = 485 yuan! With 115 yuan left, you can add a cup of honeysuckle herbal tea or buy a small bamboo woven pendant~ Guidong is low-key but blends the clouds of the Luoxiao Mountains, the fire of the Red Army, the fragrance of tea oil, and the simplicity of mountain people into a steaming bowl of Linglong Tea Oil Powder. One day is enough to cleanse your lungs and slow down like a breeze in the mountains.
