2025 Yanshan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#springwander In the deep mountains, amidst the sea of flowers, lies the ancient Yuzhang prefecture from 1000 years ago! A few days ago, I braved the rain and mistakenly entered an enchanted mountain, staying in Gexian Village at the foot of Gexian Mountain. I once deemed the plum blossoms of West Lake as the ultimate beauty on earth, But I never imagined the plum blossom season amidst the misty rain of Jiangnan. I overlooked Hongdu's new prefecture and Yuzhang's ancient city. Below the mountain, thousands of households glow with lights, sparse shadows crisscross, and prosperity blooms in full. In the forest, the empty mountains echo, flowing clouds unfurl, as if there might be immortals.. 🌸Blossoming Period: Late February, currently in full bloom, estimated to last until early March. 📅Time: Photos taken on February 21-22 during overcast and rainy weather, very serene, recommended to stay at least one day and one night. #familytrip #localguides #familytrip 🕰️Business Hours:#familytrip

Jiangxi is really hot recently I also went there with my friends. I also checked in at the famous Gexian Village I have to say, it's really beautiful . The weather was bad when I went there, but I didn't expect that this place would be more beautiful when it rains. This time we took the high-speed train to Shangrao Station. There is a special line that goes directly to Gexian Village, or you can take a taxi. Moreover, as it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are still quite a lot of tourists here. High-speed rail tickets are also difficult to buy, so it is recommended to plan your trip in advance. This scenic area is quite large, and you can also climb mountains. There are also rich performances at night. It is recommended to stay for 2 days and 1 night. There is the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, lantern viewing and riddle guessing, dragon lanterns, ancient magic tricks, and acrobatic performances. I heard that these are new performances for the National Day holiday, so it is a good opportunity to experience them if you go there recently. . 📷Share a few check-in spots inside . 1️⃣Zhongmiao Pavilion In the center of the scenic area, there will be artificial smoke on the lake during the day, which makes it look very fairy-like.

There will be a sea of ​​clouds after the rain. It was raining when we went there, so we couldn't see any scenery, which was a pity. 5⃣️Dust-washing door There was smoke all day, and taking photos of Hanfu was very fairy-like. . 🍜Food guide There are many restaurants in the scenic area, ranging from snacks to restaurants. You can try Qianshan Soup Noodles, which is next to Zhongmiao Pavilion. By the way, the side dish there is delicious. . 🏠Accommodation Guide I stayed in the scenic area, which made it more convenient for sightseeing the next day.

Gexian Village! I really stumbled into a real-life "wonderland" by accident. From the first step I took there, I was completely smitten. 🌟[First Impression] As soon as I entered the scenic area, my eyes lit up as if I had traveled through time. The quaint buildings are scattered in an orderly manner, with white walls and black tiles, and flying eaves and brackets. Every place reveals a strong classical charm. Strolling on the bluestone road, the stone slabs under my feet are smoothed by the years. The shops on both sides are quaint, selling all kinds of exquisite little things, as well as fragrant and special snacks, which make people can't help but want to taste them all. 🌟[Instagrammable Spots] Every place here has its own fairy filter, and you can take great photos anywhere. My favorite is the sea of flowers, with colorful flowers swaying in the breeze, like a fairy's skirt. There is also an ancient bridge spanning the clear stream. Fish play under the bridge, and pedestrians weave on the bridge, creating a beautiful picture of a waterside town in the south of the Yangtze River. 🌟[Immersive Experience] The immersive experience in Gexian Village is really amazing! I changed into a Hanfu, and instantly integrated into this quaint world. Walking in the town, I felt like a fairy who had traveled from ancient times. You can also participate in various interesting activities, such as ancient papermaking and traditional embroidery, experience ancient techniques firsthand, and feel the charm of traditional culture. It is really a rare treasure. Whether it is the quaint architecture, the ethereal natural scenery, or the rich cultural experience and culinary feast, it makes people linger.

❤The 9 AM minibus ride makes your bottom go numb as the driver, cigarette dangling from his lips, says: "The last three kilometers of cement road were only built by the government last year!" ❤Turning around the mountain bend, white walls and dark tiles suddenly appear. Dried bamboo shoots bask in the sun on bluestone paths, cured meat hangs from the eaves dripping oil, and the tofu shop's grandma waves at me: "Young lady, would you like chili in your tofu pudding?" ❤Wading through the small stream at the village entrance in sandals, my soles ache from the cobblestones. A small earth god temple hides in the bamboo grove, with incense ash piled like a small grave mound, and surprisingly, half a pack of Liqun cigarettes and AD Calcium Milk as offerings. ❤As evening smoke rises at dusk, the aroma of fried salted pork wafts from the village store. The owner squats on the doorstep slurping snails: "What guesthouse are you staying at? My attic with bamboo mats is 20 yuan per night, just lots of mosquitoes." Complete Travel Guide: I.
