Enjoy a local specialty meal at noon, continue exploring in the afternoon, and check in at the hotel in the evening to rest up for the next day’s itinerary. The early morning at Gexian Village is the most photogenic; leaving early can help avoid crowds and allow you to see the scenery still shrouded in mist.

Attraction introduction: Next, enter Gexian Village, located in Shangrao, Jiangxi. It is a resort village based on the Taoist culture of Gexian Mountain. The night lights and mountain lodges complement each other, making it an emerging leisure and vacation destination in Jiangxi.

Tips: The itinerary involves a lot of walking, so a comfortable pair of shoes is key, and bring a light jacket depending on the weather. Be sure to carry your ID and other valid documents, follow the guide throughout, and remember the gathering times and locations. Most visitors feel that Gexian Village is worth a special trip; it's best to listen to the explanations, observe the details, and leave enough time for photography. According to experience, queues for cable cars and sightseeing buses are most likely to form; if you can get up early, do so—leaving one hour earlier can save you half an hour in line.

Set off from the hotel early in the morning heading straight to Mount Sanqing. First, listen to the tour guide explain the background and highlights, then explore freely at a slow pace, taking extra photos according to your interests. After lunch, take a short rest, and return to the hotel in the evening to conserve energy for the next day. Don’t miss the main viewing platform; the sea of clouds and sunrise at Mount Sanqing are the highlights, and getting up half an hour early is well worth it.

Attraction introduction: This itinerary includes a stop at Mount Sanqing. Located in Shangrao, Jiangxi, Mount Sanqing is a famous Taoist mountain and a granite peak forest world heritage site. The Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain and Goddess Peak are extremely lifelike. The sea of clouds and sunrise are the most photogenic. It is known as the 'Number One Immortal Peak in Jiangnan.' Among the attractions, Nanqingyuan, West Coast plankway, and Sunshine Coast are most worth a detailed visit.

Tips: There are many mountainous roads, and it can be cool in the early morning and evening with significant temperature differences. It is recommended to bring a jacket and wear athletic shoes with good grip. When going downhill on mountain paths, lower your center of gravity and watch your step. Carry valid documents such as your ID with you, follow the guide throughout, and remember the meeting points. Many tourists say that Mount Sanqing is more worthwhile than expected, so listen to the guide for details and leave time to take good photos. Practically speaking, taking the cable car up Mount Sanqing saves effort, and the West Coast and Sunshine Coast plankways are most photogenic. To see the sunrise, you can stay on the mountain overnight or set out early in the morning.

Today's theme is Wangxian Valley. Avoid peak crowds by entering the park off-peak, and follow the recommended route for an in-depth visit. Have a local-style lunch nearby at noon, spend the afternoon on free activities or join the guide for additional touring, and stay overnight at a hotel to rest. It is recommended to bring water and snacks, as Wangxian Valley covers a large area with few supply points in between, so preparation makes for a more relaxed experience.

Attraction Introduction: On this trip, you arrive at Wangxian Valley, located in Shangrao, Jiangxi. It is famous for its ancient-style martial arts buildings built along cliffs. The white walls and dark tiled roofs cling to the cliffs, and when shrouded in mist, it resembles a world from a fantasy martial arts story. The night view with lights is particularly photogenic, making it a trendy vacation destination in recent years.

Friendly Tips: Most activities in the itinerary are in mountainous areas, where there is a large temperature difference between day and night and many steps. Remember to bring a jacket and wear anti-slip shoes. Watch your step on mountain paths and gauge your own ability. Carry your ID, stay close to the guide, and remember the meeting times and locations. Visitors generally feel that Wangxian Valley is best appreciated slowly, paying attention to the guide's explanations and leaving time to take good photos. Based on past experience, the park is crowded during holidays, and viewing platforms are packed during the lighting period, so visiting off-peak or on weekdays is more relaxed. Park dining is relatively expensive, so you may bring your own water.

Gather in the morning and depart for Wuyuan, following the main route with the tour guide to visit all the highlights, leaving ample time for photos and rest; enjoy a local specialty lunch at noon, then continue exploring in the afternoon. Check into the hotel at dusk to rest and recharge for the next day's itinerary. The early morning in Wuyuan is the quietest; before tourists arrive, stroll through the main streets and alleys, then slowly try some morning market snacks.

Attraction Introduction: The highlight of the trip is Wuyuan. Wuyuan is located in northeastern Jiangxi and is famous for its Hui-style ancient villages and rapeseed flower fields. During the flower season in Jiangling and Huangling terraces (March–April), the scenery is picturesque. Ancient villages such as Likeng and Xiaoqi feature white-walled, black-tiled buildings and stepped gables, known as "China's most beautiful villages." Among them, the rapeseed flowers in Jiangling terraces, the autumn drying in Huangling, and Likeng are the most worth seeing in detail.

Tips: The streets and alleys of ancient towns are mostly paved with stone slabs, which can become slippery when it rains. It is recommended to wear non-slip flat shoes. Nighttime can be dark, so watch your step. Always carry your ID and other documents, follow the tour group throughout, and remember the meeting times and locations. Visitors generally mention that the rapeseed flowers (in March) and Hui-style ancient villages are popular, with Huangling considered the most beautiful. Note that the flower season is short and driving yourself can be congested, so start early. Normally, the rapeseed flower season in Wuyuan (March–April) sees the highest number of tourists; for a quieter experience, choose off-peak times or non-weekend days. Stone-paved paths in ancient villages are best navigated with soft-soled shoes.

Set off from the hotel early in the morning directly to Jingdezhen. First, listen to the guide’s introduction about the background and highlights, then enjoy a leisurely self-guided tour and take extra photos based on your interests. After lunch, take a short rest, and return to the hotel in the evening to recharge for the next day. Choose a sunny day or a day just after the rain clears; the colors and clarity in Jingdezhen are best, and every shot comes out well.

Attraction Introduction: This trip brings you to Jingdezhen, the thousand-year-old porcelain capital. At the Imperial Kiln Site and Ancient Kiln Folk Customs Exhibition Area, you can see the porcelain-making craftsmanship. The Taoxichuan Cultural and Creative Street Night Market is the most artsy; you can try pottery throwing and buy porcelain, experiencing the kiln fire tradition passed down from craftsmen from all directions.

Tips: You’ll walk a lot in a day, so it’s recommended to wear supportive sneakers and bring a light jacket. Don’t forget to carry your ID, follow the guide during the tour, and remember the meeting point information. Experienced travelers generally suggest that porcelain culture is the soul, with the Imperial Kiln and Taoxichuan Night Market favored by young people. Note that hands-on experiences require reservations; seeing it in person is better than buying online. When purchasing porcelain, stick to reputable stores with certificates and keep the receipts. During summer and weekends, there are large crowds, so arriving early is more relaxing.
