Ji'an Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Travel without wasting the prime of life to the Yangshimu Scenic Area

The Yangshimu Scenic Area is named for the odd-shaped stones scattered throughout the mountains, resembling both sheep and lions. We entered from the Mingyue Mountain entrance, first taking a cable car~ then an electric shuttle~ then a small train~ and another electric shuttle before finally reaching the Yangshimu Scenic Area. Although it was a bit of a hassle, the Yangshimu Scenic Area is indeed the most scenic part of the entire Mingyue Mountain. Most of the tour is on the mid-mountain walkways, with very little climbing up and down, so it's not very tiring and is friendly to both the elderly and children.

The Cloud Pathway has been featured on CCTV news, and Yangshimu is extremely popular

The Yangshimu Scenic Area in Jiangxi is characterized by a karst peak forest landscape, with dense vegetation, and is known as the "Kingdom of Plants" and "Natural Zoo". Hiking in the mountains, one can enjoy the sight of flowing springs and waterfalls, bizarre rock formations, hanging pines, and intoxicating scenery, as if in a fairyland. Yangshimu Scenic Area is connected to Mingyue Mountain in the east and Fayingjie in the west. With an east-west orientation, the highest peak in the area, Shijun Peak, reaches an altitude of 1764 meters. Along with Wugong Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Sanqing Mountain, and Hengshan, it is known for its 'Four Wonders': peculiar peaks and strange rocks, ancient trees and famous flowers, flowing springs and waterfalls, and a sea of clouds and mist, including the rare spectacle of 'Buddha's Light'. The area is dominated by granite peak forest landforms, which are varied and majestic. Walking on the wooden walkway built on the cliff feels like riding the clouds, and if you encounter a sea of clouds, it becomes even more ethereal.

Mount Wugong in Jiangxi, Goat Lion Mu, the most relaxing mountain climbing trip

Want a relaxing mountain climbing experience? Then, the Goat Lion Mu scenic area in Mount Wugong, Jiangxi, is definitely your best choice! Comparing Mount Wugong with Mount Mingyue This is a niche treasure spot that hasn't quickly 'harvested' too much praise and favor I chose Anfu Goat Lion Mu here, where the cable car method makes it easy to ascend the mountain The cable car ride takes about 25-30 minutes in total If you want to hike up the mountain, you can choose to take the small train to Goat Lion Mu from Mount Mingyue, or hike up from Ji'an Goat Lion Mu Starting from Baifu Square, after a 15-minute stair climb, you'll find yourself amidst flatland scenery, which is primarily a granite peak forest landscape There's a 50% chance of seeing a sea of clouds 365 days a year; on the day I went, it was a clear day, and I could see far into the distance, with mountains layered upon each other Walking, stopping, and taking photos, the whole journey takes about 1.5 hours. After going up, I took a sightseeing car down, transferred to the cable car, and it was a completely effortless mountain climbing trip, just focusing on taking photos and enjoying the scenery

Yangshimu Scenic Area

Yangshimu Scenic Area is located in Anfu County, Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province. It is a national 4A scenic area, national forest park, national geological park, national natural heritage site, and national geological heritage site. The area is dominated by granite peak forest landforms, which are varied, majestic, and spectacular, making it an excellent example of a landscape and ecological scenic area. It is known as 'the best of Wugong Mountain scenery, all in Yangshimu.' Because the scenic area's lifelike rocks not only present the grandeur and beauty of nature but also engrave the imprint of the 'Fu' culture, coinciding with China's traditional 'Fu' (fortune) culture, it highlights people's pursuit of a happy life everywhere, hence the reputation of 'China's Fortune Mountain.' Our group arrived at the Yangshimu Scenic Area, known as 'China's Fortune Mountain.' We took the cable car to fly over the 3780-meter aerial gallery, arriving at Simu Square in about 20 minutes. Then we took a sightseeing car to Jiufu Building, enjoyed the 'Fu' banquet, toured the Lingyun Plank Road, admired the cloud brocade azaleas, and observed the undulating peaks. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the spring sea of clouds, leaving something to look forward to for another visit. Yangshimu Scenic Area

Wugong Mountain hiking trip

From the Wugong Mountain Wenjia Village Tourist Distribution Center in Anfu, take a bus to the mountain entrance, which is about half an hour away. The hike from the entrance to the Guanyin Temple takes about two hours. This section involves ascending through the forest, which can be quite tiring, but the air in the forest is fresh and it's worth a try. If you want to challenge the Golden Summit, you can choose to take the Sanmenmen cableway up the mountain, and then hike from Guanyin Temple to the Golden Summit.
