Moon Bay in Wuyuan is located 700 meters east of Ziyang Town, halfway to Likeng, where there is a narrow island. The island is sandwiched between the two banks, shaped like a crescent moon, and this is Moon Bay.
Moon Bay is a small scenic spot on the way. It is shaped like the moon, with elegant Huizhou-style houses on the other side of the river and beautiful surrounding scenery. Occasionally, a few peasant women would come to the lake to wash their clothes, which often attracted passers-by to stop and take pictures. It is loved by tourists and has become one of the best shooting spots for photography enthusiasts.
In March, endless rape flowers are scattered among the white walls and black tiles, or beside the road or the stream. Flowers bloom everywhere and everywhere is a scene.

How should I put it? I don't think I found the right position. It looks more like a moon only when viewed from the south, so I can't trust the navigation. But there are many people on the self-media who say that it is just copied blindly. I miss the era of information sharing.
But the ecological foundation is pretty good.
Wuyuan Moon Bay is a beautiful scenic spot in Jiangxi Province, China, located in Wuyuan County. This place is famous for its tranquil lake and magnificent natural scenery. The lake water of Moon Bay is crystal clear, reflecting the surrounding green mountains and waters, which is beautiful. Visitors can stroll along the lake and enjoy the reflection of the lake and the surrounding scenery. Wuyuan Moon Bay is an ideal place for people to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of nature.
Wuyuan Moon Bay is a small roadside attraction with many tourists taking photos.
It's a small pool of water, right by the road, but the scenery is pretty good.
The main purpose of going there is boating. It would be boring if you don't row a boat to see the scenery. Boating is quite interesting.
A bay on the Wuyuan East Line is not a tourist attraction in the strict sense, but the scenery is very beautiful. The scenery halfway is the most surprising part of the trip.
When we passed by, there was a heavy rainstorm and flooding. The small island in the middle was almost submerged. It was raining too hard and we couldn't take any photos.
Although it is just a roadside view, the scenery is still good. There are also painters painting, which is the wonder of nature.
It's beautiful. You can go rafting. It's drizzling. It's cloudy. If it's sunny, it should be more beautiful.
There is a scenic spot we passed on the way to Jiangling. At around 6 o'clock in the morning, there were fishermen in the river performing the performance of casting nets. It was free if you took photos with your mobile phone, but it was 10 yuan per person if you took photos with a camera.
The red lanterns on the boats light up the "eyes" of the crescent-shaped island and also light up the hearts of photography enthusiasts.
This is also one of the scenic spots for taking photos of morning fog. It is said that in the morning, there will be mist here, a small boat will emerge from the blue waves, and fishermen will cast nets to catch fish. It is very suitable for photography (I later learned that the fog is actually created and the fishing boats are hired)
Moon Bay is a small scenic spot. The river bends into a crescent moon. It is more beautiful in the spring when the rape flowers are blooming. When I passed by, the viewing platform on the slope was closed, so I only took a few photos by the river.
It's not really a tourist attraction, it's just a free viewing platform, overlooking the river. If the weather is bad, the photos will be average.
It is shaped like a moon, at the bend of the river. On the way to Huangling, you can stop by the roadside to admire it, which is a relatively good angle.
Not long after we set off, we passed Moon Bay. There were many cars parked on the roadside. The scenery looked good, so let's go and join in the fun! We played bamboo rafting in Moon Bay (25 yuan per person).
There are so many tadpoles in the shallows of the river! ! A virtuous woman is washing clothes by the river. The majestic bridge connects the new city and the old city. The other side of the bridge is Wuyuan New City. The bridge sign: It is really a good area with beautiful scenery and ecological balance. The walkways on both sides of the bridge are wooden antique buildings, and there is also a separate viewing tower where you can overlook the beautiful scenery.
The Moon Bay Scenic Area in Wuyuan is quite good. Whether you are taking pictures of the rapeseed fields on the hillside or the fishermen casting their nets in the river, it is all very nice. There is no entrance fee, but there is a fee, usually 10 yuan, to go on the photography platform or take pictures of the boats in the river on the road.
The master took us there and introduced us to the attractions. There was no need for tickets to go there, there were few people, and the scenery was also good. Moon Bay was great.
Moon Bay lies quietly on the water like a crescent moon, complementing the surrounding scenery. Unfortunately, due to the lack of a drone, the entire landscape cannot be restored.
Moon Bay is a free attraction. It is named after the long and narrow island on the lake, sandwiched between the two banks, which looks like a crescent moon.
But you can't see the moon shape from the roadside.
It is said that there is a path on the mountain behind that can lead to the observation deck on the mountain.
We didn't see any obvious signs, so we just took a few photos on the roadside and left it at that.
To be honest, if you are passing by by charter car or by car, you can stop by and take a look. If you are traveling by yourself, there is really no need to make a special trip.
There are many artificial bamboo rafts on the lake, which are the only organized management in this scenic area.
Normally a raft costs 150 yuan and can carry up to 5 people.
The aunt on the boat said that the bamboo raft was owned by the nearby villagers and the boat fare was divided equally. There were flower garlands for sale on the boat and the money from the garlands was the raft workers' own tips and could be saved.
Five yuan each, a little more expensive than outside.
The Moon Bay Scenic Area is an unmanaged wild scenic spot, and there are no toilets nearby. If you come here, remember to drink less water. Don't ask me how I know this...
A crescent-shaped water bay. If it is a misty morning and a bamboo raft is slowly coming, there must be a row of long guns and short guns waiting. Next to the Moon Bay, you can see a small village.
The best angle to view Moon Bay is on a nearby mountain, but it seems that people are not allowed to go up the mountain. Looking down from the mountain, you can see a complete crescent moon. When the rape flowers bloom, the entire crescent moon is golden yellow.
There happened to be bamboo rafts on the water, which was very beautiful, but I always felt that the light in the evening was not enough, and I didn’t know when the light in Moon Bay was the best.
It is also a viewing platform passed by, which should be the most beautiful in spring.
Many photography enthusiasts gather here to take pictures, and traffic jams often occur. I saw the photos of Moon Bay on the Internet and found them particularly beautiful.
The water of Moon Bay is as clear as a mirror, and the scenery on both sides is reflected in it, like a Jiangnan ink painting. The beautiful water of Moon Bay is so beautiful that you can't help but exclaim: Moon Bay is so beautiful! The oasis in the river is graceful; small boats sometimes travel in the river and sometimes dock on the island. Everything is so leisurely, peaceful and comfortable.
Moon Bay is actually on the way to Likeng. There is a small river beside the road. There are two oases in the river, forming a bend, so it is called Moon Bay. From the viewing platform beside the road, you can see the whole picture of Moon Bay. If it is the time when rape flowers bloom, you will see a golden moon, which is extremely stunning (when we came, the flowers had already bloomed).
Personally, I feel that if you are passing by, it is okay to take a look, but if you go to this attraction specifically, I don’t think it makes much sense!
Moon Bay is right on the roadside. Find a place to pull over and it's free. Opposite is a row of stalls selling fruit specialties. The fruits are quite delicious. It's not cheap or expensive. After all, this is not a paid attraction, so it's still cheaper than the scenic area. You can stop and take a few pictures when you pass by. Moon Bay is quite beautiful in spring.
It takes only 20 minutes to drive from the county seat to Yueliang Bay, and about 10 minutes from Yueliang Bay to Likeng.
A moon-shaped sandbar in the water, between the county town and Likeng, a free attraction you will pass by on the way to Likeng. The best place to take photos is the viewing platform on the hill by the road. It is best to take photos in the early morning for better results. If you are short on time, you can just take a few photos on the roadside.
It is a roadside on the way to Likeng. Moon Bay is named after a natural moon-shaped weir in the river. You can see bamboo rafts gliding through it, and with the rapeseed fields on the opposite bank and the white-walled and green-tiled Hui-style buildings, it looks like a landscape painting. But! There is neither an official parking space nor an official viewing platform here, which is actually quite dangerous. There are a row of stalls set up by locals near the river.
Just passing by, it's okay to stop and take a look...
Moon Bay is a tourist attraction that does not require admission. The so-called Moon Bay is actually a moon-shaped island that you pass by on the way back to Wuyuan County.
Next to Moon Bay is a small village and scattered rice fields. The best angle to view Moon Bay is on a nearby mountain, which can be accessed from a small path nearby. A small viewing platform was specially built on the mountain, from which you can see the full crescent shape of the moon. During the peak season of rapeseed flowers, the entire moon is golden yellow, which is extremely stunning. Due to time constraints and rain, we did not look for this viewing location, but only watched Moon Bay from the roadside~
No matter how many stars I give it, you will go there. Please forgive me, because this place is too different from the Moon Bay in Kanas. Another reason is that it is too simple. It is so simple that you can easily miss it. Only the small boat floating on it is interesting.
I brought a drone and flew up to take a look. It really is Moon Bay. Of course, it is not on the same level as the Moon Bay in Kanas.
I took photos on the roadside on the way to Jiangling. Many people stopped there to take photos. It was getting dark, and it was quiet and beautiful.
I took a bamboo raft ride and bargained the price from 150 to 80. I don't know why so many people come to this Moon Bay. In fact, there is really nothing special about it... Fortunately, it is a free attraction. The bamboo raft is not special, the lake is not wide, and the only thing is that it may be a little hazy with drizzle. I shouldn't comment like this, I have been here twice...
Moon Bay is named after the crescent-shaped sandbar. Looking down from the air, it looks like a crescent moon lying quietly in the water. There are many local specialty shops around, and wild bamboo shoots, fresh black plums, wild matsutake mushrooms, etc. can be seen everywhere.
My rating: ★★☆☆☆
It is a free attraction and cannot be considered a scenic spot. There are three things worth doing: taking a bamboo raft to cruise on the river, taking photos by the river, and buying local products. It takes about ten minutes to complete. A bamboo raft can seat up to 5 people and costs 150 yuan per raft.
You can go boating or climb the mountain beside the road to see the flower fields, but the flower fields are not large.

Wuyuan Moon Bay is on the way to Likeng, so you can take photos while driving.
People usually pass by this place, the scenery is nice and there is no entrance fee, so it is worth a visit.
I went to Moon Bay in March, which is not the best season, but the scenery was okay.
I personally think that Moon Bay is best to visit in spring, when the rape flowers on the arc-shaped island are in full bloom, and the golden bay looks like a moon hanging on the water.
The angle is a bit flat if you stand on the roadside to take the photo. It is better to see it from a higher place.
However, the best viewing spots and the high ground on the opposite hill are currently occupied and surrounded by villagers. If you want to get to a good spot, you have to pay... This is a bit of a spoiler...
But if you have a drone, that would be perfect!
It's not as good as I imagined, a tourist attraction that's more famous than it actually is. It's free and you can see it when you park on the roadside.
There is a sandbar at the bend of the river, shaped like the moon, just pass by and take a look
On the way from Huangling to Qinghua Town, we passed by "Moon Bay". The tour guide said something interesting: it is not a serious scenic spot, the road is narrow, if there are not many cars on the roadside, stop and take a look, if there are many cars, don't stop, drive to see the "Tiguan"!
Well, I didn't take it seriously.
Before reaching Moon Bay, there was a traffic jam on the road because many tourists stopped to take pictures. Some local cars were eager to get on the road, so they drove in the opposite direction, resulting in a traffic jam in both directions. The "hero" in the picture below, holding a nunchaku, was very impressive and forced several vehicles driving in the opposite direction to retreat, thus diverting the traffic. There should be applause here!!!
It is still useful to understand two things here:
1. The origin of the name of Moon Bay. Do you see the sandbar in the middle of the river? This sandbar divides the river into two parts, and the river channel above the picture forms a crescent shape, which is why Moon Bay got its name;
2.The source of Raohe River is here.
I met a photography troupe who paid actors to cast fishing nets and took a few photos with their cellphones.
The scenery along the road is nothing special if you don't take a bamboo raft. The island in the river is named after its crescent shape.
Moon Bay is a business card of Wuyuan, because of its unique scenery, because it is free, and because it is very close to Wuyuan County. A long time ago, Moon Bay was very beautiful, but now the beauty is gone forever.
Moon Bay is just a small scenic spot on the way. We just arrived in the afternoon and rented a few mountain bikes to ride in the mountains. It is called Moon Bay because it is shaped like the moon. The elegance of the Hui-style houses on the other side of the river and the golden rapeseed flowers in the spring fields present an ancient Chinese ink landscape painting.
You only need to stop for a few minutes on the road to Moon Bay to take a few photos. If you don’t have a pass, you don’t need to buy a separate ticket. It is completely unnecessary.
Thanks to the driver for the introduction along the way. We were in a hurry, so we just took some photos on the roadside.
The most beautiful scenery along the highway is when the rain stops and the morning mist covers the river, and fishermen are casting their nets to catch fish. Unfortunately, I didn't see it.
It's OK. It is said that there is also a Moon Bay in Wuyuan.
The first attraction after arriving in Wuyuan, the Rainbow Bridge and the beautiful stream
Although it is relatively simple, it is a classic beauty and is worth visiting!
The small island is sandwiched between the two banks and is shaped like a crescent moon. This is Moon Bay.
Small bridges, flowing water and people are enough to describe it. The purpose of coming to Wuyuan is to see the real natural scenery. The air is very good. It is enough to just pass by and take photos at this attraction. There is no need to stay for too long.
You don’t have to go there specially, just rent a car or walk, stop for 2 minutes, take pictures and leave~ The scenery is really beautiful!
You have to climb up the hill opposite to see the panoramic view, which is pretty good. But the locals charged me 10 yuan, and I was charged twice. It was foggy in the morning and I couldn't take pictures, and I was charged again in the afternoon, so don't waste time when it's foggy, and try to choose to go down to see it.
I originally thought it would be a tourist attraction. As I drove along, I saw many people stopping by the roadside to take pictures. When I got off the car, I saw Moon Bay. It was very beautiful, especially in the rain.
It's great not because of the beauty of the scenic spot, but because of the posed photos. Hahaha~~~
So what was the first attraction we were going to visit?
I went there and found that I could just pass by...
Nothing to play
But you can go there in the afternoon to watch the sunset
You can take a look for about half an hour and then go to the next station. No ticket is required. It is the nearest station on the East Line.
If you drive by yourself, it is easy to pass by the scenic spot. It is on the way to Likeng Scenic Spot. The scenery is still good. There are local boats to see the river view.
The location is a bit awkward, right next to the main road, with no fixed parking spots and no public facilities, so it's not particularly convenient.
Coming down from Jiangling, I went there on the way. I didn't reach the other side, so it felt so-so...
On the way to Sixiyan Village, there is an island in the middle of a lake that looks like the moon at the bend of a river. It is difficult to describe this place. It was already evening when I went there. If the weather is good and there is sunshine, it should still be a beautiful place with a poetic and picturesque beauty.
As a free attraction, it is quite good. It is a picture of Jiangnan water town. If you don't take the bamboo raft, it will take less than half an hour to take a look and take pictures.
It is very beautiful. If it were not on the roadside, it would have been developed into a tourist attraction and sell tickets, which would probably cost no less than 60 yuan.
A very beautiful small village in Wuyuan, Jiangxi, suitable for viewing red leaves in autumn or rapeseed flowers in spring
Moon Bay is located 700 meters east of Ziyang Town, halfway to Likeng, where there is a narrow island. The island is sandwiched between the two banks, shaped like a crescent moon. It is the filming location of the hit movie "I Am Not Madame Bovary". The scenery is beautiful. Because it is not the peak season, the six of us chartered two boats and had a very pleasant time boating on the river.
The small island is sandwiched between the two banks and is shaped like a crescent moon. This is Moon Bay.
On the way back to the hotel, I passed by a scenic spot. Unfortunately, I didn't get to experience it up close. I took a few photos standing on the high ground. When the boat slowly came out, it was very artistic.
Moon Bay is a scenic spot on the road between the county town and Likeng. It got this beautiful name because of the crescent-shaped island in the middle of the river. In fact, the scenery is quite beautiful. There is no entrance fee to Moon Bay. You can just take a panoramic photo on the roadside, or you can go down to the shore and rent a bamboo raft from the villagers. It takes about 40 minutes to swim around. After bargaining, it is only 100 yuan!
The master who rowed the boat for us said that the development of Wuyuan tourism has driven the development of the entire county economy, and their village has also benefited. The villagers' income has increased and houses have been built. Because of geographical problems, Moon Bay cannot be included in the Wuyuan Pass, and it cannot be managed uniformly. At the beginning, the villagers each built a bamboo raft to attract tourists, which led to competition for tourists. Later, the village built a batch of bamboo rafts and charged a unified fee. It can be regarded as a collective industry in the village! I feel that this model is much better than other scenic spots in Wuyuan. The villagers are also motivated. They grow crops during the busy farming season and start tourism during the slack season. Kill two birds with one stone!
Very beautiful scenery, but I didn't catch the best sunset, which is a pity
Moon Bay is located 700 meters east of Ziyang Town, halfway to Likeng, where there is a narrow island. The island is sandwiched between the two banks, shaped like a crescent moon, and this is Moon Bay. Moon Bay is surrounded by mountains and water, and the water surface is as calm as a mirror. One or two small boats, and the high and low Hui-style houses in the distance and near complement each other, forming a beautiful picture.
I can't take enough photos. It's so beautiful. You don't have to go down to take a boat. The scenery is endless when standing on the opposite hill
Moon Bay is a free roadside attraction between Wuyuan County and Likeng Scenic Area, but it seems that the navigation directly to "Moon Bay" twice led us to a village next to it. It is right next to the road after turning out of the village. The scenery is really beautiful. There are often various photography groups taking photos here. You can also pay fishermen to row boats to cast nets, catch fish, set fishing fires, etc. In fact, the best photo spot in Moon Bay is on the hillside by the road. It has now been fenced off by local farmers. It costs 10 yuan per person to go up the mountain, which is really not good.
