Things to do in Guangze

It's great, but you need to allow enough time for the bullet train. The best arrangement is to plan all activities in the morning, take the cable car up the mountain, then the bullet train, followed by the high-speed rail, have lunch in Dajue Town, and go rafting in the afternoon. One day is just right. The local bread is really delicious; I thought I bought too much when I bought it, but then I realized I bought too little! 😀

Walking into Yunling Mountain facing the rising sun, the fresh air, such a special "medium", not only creates the beautiful natural scenery of mountains and rivers, but also connects the various flowers and fruits growing in the scenery into a beautiful landscape, beautifying the hearts of tourists.

Taking a bamboo raft trip offers beautiful views of both sides of the river. The journey takes about 90 minutes and is entirely by manual pole-pole propelling. The water quality is excellent, crystal clear. Climbing Tianyou Peak requires considerable physical strength; I saw three people faint and need resuscitation along the way. Those lacking stamina are advised against climbing.

The fog was so thick on the way down the mountain that you couldn't see anything except where you were standing. I had imagined Huangshan to be incredibly beautiful. The photos were taken the day before when I visited the West Sea Grand Canyon; the fog had lifted for a while, and the scenery was absolutely stunning.

The lights of the stilted houses on the cliff face illuminate the mountainside, and the reflections in the stream create a truly immersive fantasy atmosphere. The best spots for taking photos are the Moon-Viewing Bridge, the Hundred-Goose Bridge, and the Cliff Library.

The scenery was beautiful, and the flower street was lovely, but the weather was wrong when we went; it was too hot, and climbing stairs outdoors for so long made us worry about heatstroke. There weren't many interactive activities, and the aunties doing the interactive activities sounded a bit harsh, perhaps due to their dialect 😂, which somewhat spoiled the experience. Also, in summer, only one cable car operates, so you have to go back the same way to take it after reaching the end of the attraction – it was exhausting.

The Tengwang Pavilion scenic area is definitely worth a visit. Besides showcasing the changing dynasties and architectural features, you can also see the characteristics of buildings from different periods, as well as Liang Sicheng's modern renovations. Each floor has different exhibits, including scenery from Jiangxi Province and introductions to famous figures. It can get quite hot inside, so it's best to arrive early in the morning. Like a museum, you can enjoy views of the Gan River from the outside, as well as the Twin Towers and the Bayi Bridge across the river. Highly recommended.

By day, surrounded by verdant mountains, streams, waterfalls, pavilions, and towers exude an ancient charm. As night falls, thousands of lanterns illuminate Lingbao Fairy Street, with a series of performances including a lantern parade, fire pot demonstrations, and light shows, creating a truly romantic atmosphere. Donning Hanfu and strolling through the lantern-lit streets, surrounded by mist, every snapshot is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese style. ☺️ During holidays, it gets quite crowded, and queues may occur at popular spots. Performance times are fixed, so it's recommended to check the schedule in advance. For a truly magical night view, Ge Xian Village is worth a special trip to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of "Three Thousand Lanterns Lighting for You." The key is good weather; our visit was perfect, and the experience was excellent.

I missed the half-price ticket discount during the summer vacation, but I still enjoyed the Jiangxi Province tourism discount coupon. As this was my first time visiting Lushan in Jiangxi, I was generally quite satisfied, especially being able to drive up the mountain myself, which was a great experience. However, it is worth noting that this is a general admission ticket, and many attractions do not require additional tickets. This point did not seem to be clearly explained, so I almost had to buy tickets for Guanyin Bridge and Bailudong twice.

The scenery is beautiful, but there are many steps, so it requires a lot of physical exertion. I went during the Double Ninth Festival, and it was extremely crowded. The round-trip cable car queue took four and a half hours. I recommend avoiding peak seasons.
