Day 2 Hotel → Tongtianyan, the First Grotto in Jiangnan → Ganzhou City
·morning
Today we visit Ganzhou Old Town

·afternoon
In the afternoon, embark on a half-day tour of Ganzhou's Songcheng Museum. Stroll along Zaoer Alley, an immersive 227-meter-long street of Hakka architecture. Walk across the Songcheng Ancient Floating Bridge to experience the bustle of the old fish market. At sunset, ascend the Eight Mirror Terrace for a bird's-eye view of the city and find a photo opportunity to capture Ganzhou's autumn scenery.
We will disband at Yugutai and explore the Songchao City that never sleeps on our own, dreaming of returning to the Song Dynasty. During our free time, we may also see the intangible cultural heritage of iron flowers.
In the afternoon, each attraction is close to each other, so we will give priority to visiting on foot.
Day 3 Hotel → → Longnan
·morning
Today we went to Longnan, a small town hidden in the past, to experience Hakka culture. (In autumn, the small town in southern Jiangxi, with ripening Gannan navel oranges outside the wall and Hakka walled houses as the backdrop, is a small but pleasant place to visit.)
Guanxi Walled House: Longnan's largest walled house, known as the "Roman Castle of the East," recreates many Hakka life scenes and includes a unique rammed earth maze for exploration.
·afternoon
[Yanyiwei] is the tallest walled house in Longnan. Many residents still live there, allowing you to experience the Hakka atmosphere. (Please do not make loud noises as there are residents living there.)
When you come to Yanyiwei, you can also take a walk along the double-hole stone corridor Taiping Bridge built in the Qing Dynasty. Go to Yangcun to experience rice wine brewing, from washing rice to warming the wine and brewing it. Drinking a bowl of rice wine in this small town is refreshing! (Minors are not allowed to drink)
Day 4 Hotel → South Wudang Mountain
·morning
After breakfast, depart for South Wudang Mountain
When you arrive in Longnan, you must visit the lesser-known Little Wudang Mountain! Ninety-nine Danxia peaks rise from the plain, towering and solitary peaks stretching for dozens of kilometers, like a "Ten-Mile Gallery."
Take photos of your life in the Heaven-Swallowing Cave, watch the five daughters celebrating their birthday from afar, and have a cup of coffee at the mountaintop cafe... There are also many optional activities in the scenic area, including cliff swings, step-by-step adventures, glass slides, and the Star-Picking Observation Deck (the itinerary does not include the mountain experience fee, so you can play as needed);
You can choose to go down the mountain by slide or cable car, and the whole journey takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes with stops and starts.
·afternoon
Around 13:30 - We returned home happily after a four-day trip
Transfer to Longnan Station. It is recommended to take a train departing after 15:00 (the journey from Nanwudang Mountain to Longnan Station is about 1 hour)
