Everyone should visit Sanqingshan at least once! Take the kids for a light hike, watch the sea of clouds flow over the strange peaks, walk on the plank road through the clouds, and easily check in to the treasure fairy mountain described by Su Shi~ "Among the five great mountains, the best scenery is at Sanqingshan." The scenery of Sanqingshan rivals Huangshan and is less crowded than Wugong Mountain. In spring, enjoy the sea of clouds; in winter, admire the snow scenes. Bring your kids here to unlock the beauty of this cloud-top fairyland. The one-day family tour route here is very thoughtful, with cable cars to save energy, about 9 km in total divided into sections, making it easy for kids to walk with no pressure. You can leisurely finish in 6-7 hours, covering all the scenic spots without any unnecessary detours. ✅ Family Transportation Tips: Take the high-speed train to "Dexing High-Speed Railway Station," then take the Yanyun bus (8:40/13:10, 20 RMB per person, 40 minutes direct to Gangshou Cableway). If you miss the bus, a taxi takes about 1 hour. If driving, exit the highway at Jinsha/Waishuangxi for Sanqingshan West, or at Damaoshan/Sanqingshan toll station for Gangshou, very convenient. 🗺️ Sanqingshan Family One-Day Tour Route: Take the Gangshou Cableway up - Sanqing Palace - Dragon and Tiger Hall - West Coast - Monkey King Presents Treasure - Dense Pine Forest - Sunshine Coast - Jade Terrace - Eastern Goddess - Giant Python Emerges from the Mountain - Yuhuang Peak - Sunshine Coast - Dense Pine Forest - Gangshou Cableway down. The entire route is on gentle plank roads with a few steps, perfect for families. 🏨 Family Accommodation Suggestions: For a one-day tour, it is recommended to stay the night before near the Gangshou Cableway, where there are many dining options and family rooms in guesthouses. If you want to watch the sea of clouds sunrise with your kids, it is recommended to stay on the mountain, where tents and hotels are available to meet different needs. Bring your kids to Sanqingshan for a light hike to check in the sea of clouds and strange peaks, and gain plenty of family happiness~

For friends traveling to Sanqing Mountain with family, I recommend this two-bedroom independent family suite. Two separate bedrooms with individual doors can meet the needs of a family living together while ensuring personal privacy, so you don’t have to squeeze into one room and compromise with each other. It’s spacious enough for two adults and two children, or a family of five including parents. The decoration is comfortable, warm, and tasteful, with complete facilities that fully meet the needs of a family stay. The homestay environment is quiet and cozy, allowing the whole family to rest peacefully. It has its own parking lot, making parking and charging very convenient. The homestay is right next to the Gangshou Cableway, making it especially convenient to get to the scenic area without wasting time on the road, which means less hassle when traveling with elderly and children.

The Spring Flower Season at Damaoshan has begun! This national 4A-level scenic area located in northeastern Jiangxi boasts a forest coverage rate of 98% and is welcoming the most vibrant time of the year. From the foot to the peak of the mountain, flowers such as crabapple, redbud, camellia, cherry blossoms, and azaleas bloom in succession, forming an endless floral corridor across the hills and fields. In the Wufeng Cave area, the crabapple blossoms are vividly beautiful; along the banks of Maxi River, the redbud blooms tightly symbolize harmony and family affection; beneath Bijia Mountain, cherry blossoms are pink and white like clouds, romantically reflecting the bright moon at night; from late April, azaleas along the Maxi Gorge trail will gradually bloom, fiery red and rosy pink, covering the hills. Along the way, you can stroll the Xiaoyao Trail—Dianjiang Terrace—Fairy Pool—Guanyin Waterfall scenic trail. The water of Fairy Pool is as clear as emerald, and Guanyin Waterfall cascades down over 30 meters, with cool mist refreshing your face. The ancient trees and bamboo sea of Wufeng Cave, and the colorful streams of Maxi, known as the "Little Jiuzhaigou of Jiangnan," have oxygen ion concentrations exceeding 40,000 per cubic centimeter, making it a true natural oxygen bar.

Setting off from Nanchang early in the morning, speeding east along the Hukun Expressway, when the navigation prompts “Dexing Damaoshan,” the scenery outside the window has already shifted from city neon lights to layers of bamboo sea. This national 4A-level scenic area, nestled among Sanqing Mountain, Wuyuan, and Jingdezhen, offers a grand feast where mountains, waters, and culture intertwine, painting a vivid stroke on my weekend. Landscape Scroll: A Natural Oxygen Bar Immersed in Greenery Entering the scenic area, the negative oxygen ions carrying the fresh scent of pine needles instantly dispel travel fatigue. Walking along the Wufengdong Trail, towering ancient trees and a sea of bamboo flank both sides, with sunlight filtering through the leaves casting mottled shadows, as if stepping into a flowing ink painting. Halfway up the mountain, the roar of water suddenly fills the air. Looking up, a silver curtain cascades down a cliff dozens of meters high—the Fairy Pool Waterfall crashes into the deep pool with thunderous force, the mist refracting a rainbow halo in the sunlight, attracting visitors to stop and take photos. Continuing upward, the Senquan Waterfall Group reveals a gentler beauty. The stream winds down the reddish rock walls, forming layers of miniature waterfalls, with moss swaying beneath the water like an emerald carpet. Some companions take off their shoes to step into the shallow water; the clear stream flows over their ankles, instantly washing away the summer heat. Cultural Code: A Millennium Mark of Buddhist and Taoist Fusion Damaoshan’s charm lies not only in nature but also in its profound historical heritage. During the Ming Dynasty, it was already a famous Buddhist sanctuary, and ancient temple sites like Baiyun Temple and Xiangxi Temple remain preserved. At the summit of Wumeng Mountain, over a thousand meters high, I met an elderly temple keeper who pointed to a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in front of the temple and said, “This tree is older than the temple; its leaves can cover the entire courtyard when they fall.” A gentle breeze stirred the golden ginkgo leaves, fluttering down as if telling stories of time. For those interested in geology, the Shifeng Scenic Area is a must-see. Here, the Danxia landforms and karst caves complement each other, with huge stone pillars rising from the ground in various shapes—some like swords piercing the sky, others like graceful fairies standing tall. Locals jokingly say, “Sanqing Mountain is for watching the sea of clouds, Damaoshan is for watching the sea of stones.” A Feast for the Palate: A Taste Carnival in the Mountains and Fields By afternoon, hunger starts to protest. Following the aroma, I enter the “Hundred Birds Facing the Sun Fairy Tale Village,” where the most authentic Damaoshan culinary secrets are hidden. Specialty snacks like ban guo (rice cakes), taro cakes, and Wulao cakes are dazzlingly abundant. The most impressive is the “Jinshi Cake”—made from selenium-rich glutinous rice and wild mountain walnuts, soft and sticky in the mouth, with the walnut fragrance unfolding layer by layer on the tongue. At the farmhouse restaurant at the village entrance, the owner serves a pot of “Senquan Fish,” with tender, boneless fish meat, broth simmered with mountain spring water, sprinkled with wild scallions—so fresh and delicious that I drank three bowls in a row. As the sunset gilds the Shifeng with golden edges, I set off home, carrying the mountain and field essence with me. Looking back at the gradually receding Damaoshan, I suddenly understand why locals often say, “Sanqing Mountain is immortal, Damaoshan is home.” Here, there is no bustling fame of famous mountains, but a gentle harmony between mountains and waters; no deliberate carving, yet natural wisdom is everywhere. Perhaps this is the truest form of travel—to meet the long-lost self in a strange place. 1.

【Wangxian Valley In-Depth Travel Guide｜Stay in a Millennia-Old Ink Dream in the Cliff Secret Realm of Northeastern Jiangxi】 ⛰️Soul in One Sentence: This is not a “trendy check-in + glass bridge scream” traffic gimmick, but an **immersive landscape reading using the cliff as paper, mist as ink, and ancient village as seal**—from the vertical fissure width of basalt columns at Wangxian Peak (average 4.7cm), to the 0.8mm indentations worn by millennia of pilgrims’ shoes on the bluestone ancient path; from the micro-vibration attenuation rate (0.02dB/s) of the wooden beam mortise and tenon structure at Yunyin Inn, to the humidity sensitivity threshold of the moss community on the Fairy Shoe Drying Cliff (RH > 82% triggers spore release).

I heard that the scenery of Wufeng Cave in Damaoshan, Dexing City, Shangrao, Jiangxi is stunningly beautiful, known as the "Little Lushan," and its waterscapes rival those of Jiuzhaigou. I was deeply fascinated and finally set foot on this long-awaited land. A Rendezvous with Mountains and Waters Starting from thousands of miles away, the journey was tiring, but as I gradually approached Wufeng Cave, the scenery along the way made everything worthwhile. The distant mountains rolled endlessly, shrouded in mist, like a natural ink painting. Upon arrival at the scenic area, I learned that Wufeng Cave is not a real cave but a mountain valley "with two slopes flanking a river." Legend has it that in ancient times, a righteous man named Wufeng robbed the rich to help the poor here. The rebel army led by Huang Chao during the late Tang Dynasty also camped and rested here, adding a mysterious historical aura to this valley. Encountering the Lively Waters Walking along the valley, Maxi Creek followed like a shadow. The water was crystal clear, with small stones visible at the bottom. I bent down and scooped a handful of water; the icy touch instantly spread through my body, as if dispelling the summer heat. The water of Maxi Creek is rich in minerals, showing a jade green color. Each pool is as green as jade, and from above, it looks like a gentle jade belt winding through the green mountain valley. Fairy Pool is a gem on Maxi Creek. Legend says it is where heavenly fairies often bathe. The pool’s clear emerald water sparks imagination, as if one could see the fairies bathing in a breathtaking scene. Following the creek downstream from Fairy Pool, you can hear the roaring water of Guanyin Waterfall. The waterfall drops about 30 meters and from afar truly resembles Guanyin Bodhisattva wearing a white cloak. As the water volume changes, the cloak seems to move dynamically, vividly lifelike. Exploring the Valley’s Wonders Besides the lively water, the scenery on both sides of the valley dazzled me. The forest was dense, with strange peaks and rocks everywhere. I strolled along the creek path, occasionally seeing giant stones of various bizarre shapes—some like animals, others like giants—adding fun to this natural landscape painting. Continuing forward, I reached the Strange Stone Beach. The stones here vary in shape and size, smoothed by the creek’s flow. I couldn’t help but jump and weave among the stones, feeling the marvels of nature’s craftsmanship. Appreciating History and Culture During the visit, I learned that Wufeng Cave not only boasts beautiful natural scenery but also has profound historical and cultural significance. The stories left by Huang Chao’s rebel army fill this land with a heroic spirit. I seemed to see the rebels resting and training here back then, feeling their lofty ambitions and passion. Leaving Beautiful Memories Unconsciously, the day’s tour was coming to an end. Sitting by the creek, watching the sunset’s afterglow shimmer on the water, I felt the sparkle of the waves. This day, I had an intimate encounter with the mountains and waters of Wufeng Cave, experiencing the charm of nature and the weight of history. When leaving, my heart was full of reluctance. Wufeng Cave, this secret realm hidden deep in the mountains, conquered me with its beauty and mystery. I know I will come again, embrace it once more, and explore more wonders. 1.
