Hike in the clouds
Wugong Mountain, one of the three renowned mountains in ancient times in South China, covers an area of over 120 square kilometers and contains the highest peak in Jiangxi province: White Crane Peak. It reaches 1,918.3 meters and attracts many visitors very year.
There are many terraces in front of the mountain. In spring, farmers prepare the land. The way they work has not changed since the time of their ancestors. Even today, they plough the fields with a buffalo.
This spiritual mountain has a history of past poets and literati coming here for inspiration and reflection. Some of the paths are paved with pebbles. It’s said that walking on the pebbles is good for your health. Numerous children and elderly people sometimes take off their shoes and walk on the pebbles.
The most famous thing about this mountain is the ‘sea of clouds’ which can form depending on the weather. Unfortunately we were not lucky enough to see this as we had glorious sunny weather during my 2 days hiking here. Missing out on this was compensated by a glorious 5am sunrise, seeing this fiery orb slowly rise up to greet a new day was awe inspiring and worth the grueling hike
Astonishingly due to the clear weather and lack of clouds we managed to see a ‘blood moon’ and beautiful stars in the sky. Living in a big city with light pollution this is something I never thought I would see in China.
The hike itself is very challenging. With endless stairs and monotonous stomping up and up, you almost feel like you want to die. but stick it with, IT IS WORTH IT!The green panorama at the top is mind blowing, and seems to stretch on forever and ever. The lush surroundings and fresh air of the top make you feel alive and enthused with life. This is China at its finest. Along the route up there are lots of streams and waterfalls to see, and trees surround you, you almost feel at one with nature (apart from all the people). Bring lots of water and snacks with you as the prices on the mountain side are scandalously high and you’ll end up paying a lot.
The peak is awash with colours as there are so many tents around, each with a vibrant colour of its own, its a visual feast for the eyes. The tent is reasonable and comes with a sleeping bag and a soft cover, it is big enough for 2 people just about and costs 100-200 RMB depending on where you put it.
We chose a more isolated spot away from the mass crowds. I recomend choosing a good spot for the early sunrise, which is usually 5.30am or so and then pack up the tent before breakfast. There is a little hotel/restaurant nearby where you can get some noodles ready for the climb down.
Should you wish there are cable cars which run up and down, however there will likely be long lines and you may be quicker walking down.

"Fantastic Journey by Poyang Lake: Enter the Grass Sea World of Hayao Miyazaki."
On the vast land, there is a place like a dreamland - Wunian Island on the Poyang Lake Grassland by Poyang Lake. When the dry season of Poyang Lake arrives as scheduled, a visual feast of nature begins.
Every year from September to March is the best time to visit this mysterious place. At this time, the Wunian Island on the Poyang Lake Grassland is covered with wild grass, like an endless green ocean. The undulating grass sea seems to be a beautiful picture drawn by nature with the brush of the wind. Stepping into it, you seem to instantly travel to the anime world of Hayao Miyazaki. The fresh air and lively scenery are intoxicating.
If you want to reach this dream island, there are many ways to get there. You can choose to drive yourself, navigate to "Poyang Lake Wunian Island," and enjoy the freedom of the road and the wind whistling in your ears. If you take the high-speed train, you can take a taxi to "Poyang North" and start an exciting journey. You don't need a ticket to enjoy the generous gift of nature. But to get on the island, you must take a boat, and vehicles can also board the boat for only CNY 50 each. The boat runs from 8:00 to 16:30, giving you plenty of time to explore.
In this beautiful grass sea world, the choice of time to check in is crucial. From September to March, Poyang Lake is in the dry season, and the grass sea is lush. Whether it's the bright sunshine on the grass sea on a sunny day or the misty water vapor covering the green land on a rainy day, it has a unique atmosphere and charm. Photography tips can help you capture unforgettable moments. Walk into the center of the grass sea and embrace nature. Every angle here seems to be a scene from Hayao Miyazaki's anime, perfect for photos. Standing by the lake, the water and the grass sea are connected, and the sparkling lake and the lush grass sea complement each other, creating a stunning view. In terms of clothing, light-colored clothes are the best choice, such as pure white, gentle beige, etc., which contrast sharply with the green grass sea. Pair them with a straw hat, a scarf, and other accessories to instantly add a sense of fashion and atmosphere.
Accommodation is also an indispensable part of this fantastic journey. Jiangxi Fuli Resort is like a bright pearl in this beautiful land. It is only a 0.5-hour drive from Nanchang and 2.5 hours from Hangzhou. The resort is surrounded by 6,000 acres of pomelo forest, as if you are in a green fairy tale world. The white buildings are particularly elegant and exquisite against the backdrop of the pomelo forest. The spacious rooms are equipped with five-star standard toiletries, allowing you to enjoy nature and have a comfortable living experience. There is also a large conference room with complete facilities, which can accommodate about 70 people for team-building activities. A variety of entertainment activities make your vacation life full of fun, such as archery, cycling, hiking, fishing, camping, and other outdoor activities. There is also an indoor hot spring pool with a constant temperature of 38 degrees. In autumn and winter, soaking in the warm spring water and feeling relaxed is very comfortable.
Come on, embark on a fantastic journey by Poyang Lake, enter the grass sea world of Hayao Miyazaki, and let the beauty and tranquility of nature heal your soul.
Self-driving in Jiangxi, diving into the Poyang Lake's Grass Sea!
First Jiangxi self-driving trip successfully completed~
Self-planned route, perfectly avoiding the National Day crowds
Itinerary:
Shenzhen - Ganzhou - Poyang Lake - Wuyuan - Shangrao - Ji'an - Longnan - Shenzhen
Played for a full 7 days, although a bit rushed, there were still many surprises!
The biggest surprise of the whole trip was the Poyang Lake during the dry season!
The bottom of the lake is now covered with long grass
The grass is very dense, and when the wind blows, the green grass sways with the wind
Like a boundless sea of grass...
This grassland is no less than Hulunbuir!
You can also see a beautiful sunset on the Grass Sea👀🌅
A random shot is a life photo!!!
I heard that in November, the Grass Sea here will turn into a sea of flowers
Then it will be another scenery
Explore the green secrets of Poyang Lake.
🌿Explore the green secrets of Poyang Lake🌾
The natural symphony of Wuniu Island and Baisha Island
🌿In the green waves of Poyang Lake, there is a secret place gently brushed by the green wind - Wuniu Island and Baisha Island.
On October 5, 2024, we set foot on this beautiful natural land and felt the unique fresh breath of Poyang Lake.🍃
🚗Self-driving navigation to "Poyang Lake Prairie Scenic Area - Wuniu Island", we have two ways to choose:
1️⃣ Drive through the ferry, 50 yuan/car, although you need to wait patiently, the lake and mountain scenery on the ferry is definitely worth it.
2️⃣ Park in the parking lot below the side of the road, walk over the floating bridge, go deep into the grass field, every step is a scenery.
🌳If you want to explore the deeper Sesame Island Prairie, remember to buy a 40 yuan/person shuttle ticket in advance. Although self-driving cars cannot reach, walking can also appreciate the different styles of the prairie, but there is less plank road, colored flag tents and horse riding fun. Horse riding experience, 30 yuan/one big and one small, led by staff, although it is a small range, it is also fun.
🌾After the adventure of the prairie is over, we take the shuttle bus back and continue to drive to Baisha Island·Chemen Village. The scenery along the way is more amazing than the prairie, healing the soul. The perfect combination of sunshine and breeze makes our journey more perfect.
👨👩👧👦Take a walk with the children in this nature, feeling the tranquility and beauty of Poyang Lake. This is not only a sea of grass, but also a habitat for the soul.
Come to Poyang Lake and experience a green natural symphony!🌳🌾
Jiangxi Fanyang Lake Prairie | A romantic sea of grass and grass waves.
| A romantic sea of grass and grass waves. 🌞Jiangxi people have their own prairie! | Fanyang Lake Prairie (free)
|||In the wildly growing sea of grass, you can see the shape of the wind, the blue sky, the endless healing green, and when the wind blows, the large sea of grass flows with the wind
💧During the dry season of Poyang Lake, the entire Poyang Lake is actually very large, and you can go to Jiujiang and Shangrao. Find a place with fewer people. The most important thing is that no tickets are required!!
You can bring a tent to camp at this place ⛺️ The scenery is very good, but there are many mosquitoes. It is recommended to bring some mosquito repellent water, and then you can feel it well. Even if you do nothing, lying in the sea of grass is also very comfortable 👏
Transportation: Self-driving navigation to Wuniandao, it takes 40 minutes to drive from Poyang, cars are not allowed to cross the river, and people walk across the river on a pontoon bridge

3. Sightseeing car: Must be bought at the door, can't be bought inside, I personally think it can be bought or not
4. Time: 2-3 hours, it's great to go in the afternoon to watch the sunset
tips: There are many people at the door, and it's huge inside. Just walk around and you can enjoy the prairie alone. It's very photogenic
- Best viewing time for the sea of grass: September-October
- Winter bird watching time: September-next April
- You need to take a boat to the island, and the vehicle is on the boat 💰50
- The time to go to the island is 8:00-17:30
- ⚠It is recommended to come at sunset, stir out the film❗ Don't go to the island too late, you need to drive a section of the road after going to the island.
(ps: Pay attention to the garbage generated, take it away) Take you to see the beautiful prairie

Poyang Lake
Poyang Lake spans three hundred miles, with no sight of grass, trees, clouds, or mountains within view
Poyang Lake, as China's largest freshwater lake, has mixed reviews about its scenery within the park. So today, I chose a self-driving route myself~ Although I took a wrong turn and drove an extra 55km, the journey was stunningly beautiful~
tips:
1. Cost: Free, didn't enter the scenic area, no tolls for self-driving!
2. Route: Pay close attention here, this is the pitfall-avoidance version, I'll tell you about positioning and how to go~
2.1. Fenghuangzhou Beach: See pictures 7-8 for the scenery, I took a wrong turn because of the navigation to this place! Be careful ⚠️ when searching for the location is "Caojia Village, Poyang County", make sure to choose the one next to "Lianhuazhou". I navigated to the address inside the red frame in picture 5, which was a huge pitfall, as there are two Caojia Villages in one county. After navigating correctly, go back to the village committee, then continue driving forward, pass the basketball court, and at the T-junction by the lake, turn left (there is also a road sign on the left), keep driving and you will see an entrance on the right side, which is Fenghuangzhou Beach.
2.2. Self-driving highway: Pictures 1-4, with lakes on both sides and mountains in the distance, especially beautiful! Navigate to "Shuanggang Town Zuhu Lianwei", keep going, and you will see the highway in picture 4. When you reach the middle of the highway, there will be a small parking area on the right side where you can stop/park and take photos. (The location of the big thumb in picture 14 is the shooting spot)
2.3. Return trip through green grasslands and high-energy scenery: After taking photos at the parking spot mentioned earlier, I didn't continue driving forward, but directly navigated to Jingdezhen Taoxi Chuan.
Poyang Lake also has its own 'sea'!
May Day reverse tourism, Jiangxi also has its own sea‼️|||This time coming to Jiangxi, I discovered the treasure town of Poyang!
Surprisingly, it hides a romantic 'Venice' on the water
And there are absolutely no tourists
Coming here, I can't help but exclaim
Jiangxi actually has such a beautiful place
.

1️⃣Zhuxi Three Islands
Located on a small island in Poyang Lake, surrounded by water, it is a genuine water fishing village. The villagers are simple and very friendly to visitors. It feels like every household here has a sea view room, so beautiful
2️⃣Wetland Park
Green grass paired with blue sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun, the crisp chirping of birds, moored boats, and the soft and deep fishermen, it's both beautiful and healing

Here you can see the migratory bird species and animal and plant specimens of Poyang Lake activities, and many collections related to the culture and history of the region are also displayed, including bronzes, jades, pottery, stone tools, and various other cultural relics
4️⃣Wunian Island
The whole way is 'lake view road', the endless lake and green grassland make me feel this is not Jiangxi at all, the wind seems to have a shape against the backdrop of the water grass, I stopped the car at the head of the village to watch the sunset, the lake also gave off the feeling of sea waves
.
🕌Accommodation recommendation

Looking out from the balcony at the outdoor lake and mountains and the thousand-acre pomelo sea, I was amazed, the hotel's facilities are also very complete, with an independent restaurant, gym, you can also go to the pomelo sea manor to experience pottery, and there are various amusement facilities
📍Inside the Pomelo Sea Manor, Gaofang Village, Youcheng Township, Poyang County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province

If there's no grass on Wunian Island. But it's still so beautiful~
I believe everyone has seen the videos of Poyang Lake's grass sea, right?
Last November, we started a self-drive tour around half of Poyang Lake
To see the migratory birds flying south🦢
Poyang Lake National Wetland Park was our last stop
It's only about 2 hours' drive from Nanchang🚗
When we arrived
Local friends said that there was neither grass sea nor flower sea🌸
And the birds had not arrived in large numbers
There was a tone of regret in their voices
At the same time, there were no people either!
In the entire scenic area, there were only our driver, us, and another retired couple
Walking through the open and quiet, the air slightly cool
The grass sea, green turning to withered yellow, reflected the clear sky
It was so comfortable~ so pleasant
📚A little further from Che Lun Du is the official entrance
You have to buy the entrance ticket and the sightseeing car ticket together
Otherwise, it's quite a walk to get in
The car🚗 parking across the street in the parking lot🅿️ is also quite convenient
The hotel🏨 we chose was the All Seasons Hotel (Poyang Wetland Park branch)
Nearby, there was a delicious Nanchang boiled food restaurant: Laiba Boiled
A very earthy name but very tasty
Opposite Laiba Boiled, there was a stall run by an old lady selling boneless chicken strips
The kind I ate as a child, the kind that's hard to find
The old lady said she used fresh chicken thighs and cut them on the spot
I ate the crispy childhood taste of happiness🥰🥰🥰
Jiangxi | You don't promote this place, are you confused?~
It's almost May Day, and I, who am afraid of crowds, am struggling with where to go for fun.
After playing in Jingdezhen for a few days,

This trip to Jiangxi led me to discover Poyang, a hidden gem of a town!
It's only 18 minutes away from Jingdezhen by high-speed train, and it boasts the boundless Poyang Lake Great Grass Sea. The grass sea of Poyang Lake in autumn and winter has a unique charm, different from the healing matcha color series in summer. The reed marshes and the large flocks of migratory birds during this season are absolutely beautiful~

🌈Day1: Hangzhou—Wunian Island—Fuli Resort
☑️Wunian Island
The romantic grass sea in the Miyazaki Hayao anime that exploded in the summer is on this island, a free scenic spot, you need to take a boat to the opposite side, 50r a car round trip. The grass has turned yellow in winter, but I prefer it.
✅Reed swamps, marsh wetlands, shallows, grass seas... You can also bring equipment to pick up shells, locals will pick them up and sell them~ If you want to see migratory birds, it's actually very casual, because they are not fixed in one place, you can judge their position based on their calls, you can always find them.
🔍You can camp, but you can't light a fire. It is recommended to bring a bicycle to ride, it's really beautiful! (The sunset is stunning)
☑️Jiangxi Fuli Resort
It's about 40 minutes away from Wunian Island. I booked a two-bedroom suite, not only a super large living room🛋, but also two bathrooms. If it is a parent-child or a family, I recommend this type of room. Because it has a grapefruit manor, we were given a huge grapefruit when we checked in. The hotel quality is great, Dyson hair dryer, Parma shampoo and conditioner, floor-to-ceiling windows are standard, love the details!
Dinner is directly resolved in the hotel. After eating, there is a bonfire outdoor KTV to have fun. We also prepared fairy sticks for us. The hotel's activities are quite rich. It is recommended to stay half a day in the hotel to experience the next day.
✅Outdoor archery🏹✅Grapefruit picking✅Cycling experience✅Pottery painting✅Indoor gym, KYV, indoor private soup, constant temperature swimming pool... You can plan your time according to the projects you want to play.
🌈Day2: Fuli Resort—Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum
Self-driving is about 1h, non-self-driving can take the high-speed rail, it will arrive in 20min. You can go to the Imperial Kiln Museum first, remember to make an appointment in advance, there are arch-shaped brick kiln buildings that can be photographed, and there are also relic parks and museums that can be savored. It takes about 3h to play all.
You can go to Taoxichuan to stroll the market at night, if you like ceramics, you can buy, buy, buy, you can't stop at all!
🌈Day3: Bingding Wood Kiln—Thousand-Year Porcelain Palace—Hangzhou
☑️Bingding Wood Kiln is very suitable for babies who like architecture and photography. Be sure to choose a sunny day! The light is really amazing!! The ticket is 30r, no need to make an appointment in advance, just go.
☑️Thousand-Year Porcelain Palace, an 80-year-old grandmother built a dream palace with her life savings, with mixed reviews, but I personally like it very much, and it looks good in photos. (But choose a sunny day and go when there are few people)

🌿Standing on Poyang Lake
The ancient poem
'The sky is vast, the field is vast,
The wind blows the grass low and sees the cattle and sheep'
Is displayed before my eyes
The wind at the junction of summer and autumn
Blows from the depths of the largest freshwater lake in the country
Combs up tufts of hair for the grass sea that emerges from the water
✨Lying on the grass, it's like lying in the arms of the grass
Watching the clouds roll and unfold on the green grass
The heart follows the wide field, as if all worries have disappeared~
🖼️Back to the manor residence in the middle of the grapefruit forest
Looking at the mountains and blue sky in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows
A book, a cup of clear tea, a world of my own
Or lie in the bathtub, sprinkle the roses sent by the butler
Away from the hustle and bustle, only left with ease~
Wait for the National Day to meet in the sea of grass~
🌈Photo tips
✅Wear white, black and other colors with a large contrast to green, can stand out in the sea of grass
✅Bring a camping chair (the manor has, you can borrow), picnic props will be more out of the picture
✅It's best to bring a drone, find a place where the green grass is dense, you can shoot from a high angle~

Lazy Bird Watching Guide to Poyang Lake
If you want to go bird watching at Poyang Lake this winter, but are afraid of factors such as weather and environment, missing the golden spot for bird watching, or if you bring children and elderly people, unable to travel around, there is a place you might want to try, you will not be disappointed - Poyang Lake Wetland Science Park.
The park is located on the shore of Poyang Lake, covering an area of 400 acres, divided into wetland museum, internal and external lake docks, wooden boat bay, bird watching corridor and other areas. In the bird watching corridor, there are swans, peacocks and other ornamental birds, as well as several species of wild water birds and migratory birds, especially the gray cranes that we usually cannot watch at close range. Many of them are wild birds that were rescued in the waters of Poyang Lake by the Science Park, or those that fell behind. Here they have received good care, and I believe that they will be able to soar in the blue sky in the near future.
Next to the park is Poyang Lake, you can walk to the nearby bird watching spot, and enjoy the scene of wild migratory birds dancing in the air!
Wugong mountain has breathtaking views. My legs are still painful 2 days after hiking down but what can i say, the hike was worth it. fun, excitement and the WOWs...
