Secret ways to explore Wuning Xihai in Jiangxi revealed! The private island sunset is amazing

Last year, I traveled a lot around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai.
Since the end of last year,
I finally expanded my weekend escape plan to Jiangxi🏃‍♀️💨

This time the location is Nanchang, heading west for hundreds of miles,
checking in for the first time at "Little Qiandao Lake" Wuning Xihai👋
·
Maybe visiting Xiangshan and Shengsi before took away some charm (not blue enough),
I have to say the water systems in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai are still better for lake views!
Wuning Xihai consists of 1,967 islands with crystal-clear water✨

This time I stayed at Yongguichuan Hotel located on a private small island
📍Address: Lushan Xihai Scenic Area, Wuning County, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province
The whole island is only open to guests, privacy is maximized💯
·
🚄【Transportation Guide】
Shanghai → Nanchang West Station (fastest 2h50m)
Taxi🚗 1.5h directly to the hotel
It’s recommended to rent a car in Nanchang for more freedom
All highways, excellent road conditions👍

🏨【Amazing Hotel】
Yongguichuan where I stayed this time is super interesting!
Divided into rammed earth architecture area and seaside private island area
✔️Rammed earth area: rustic and natural style
✔️Seaside area: 270° lake view, sunset lake view rooms
Both sides have infinity pools🏊
If you want to play in the water and watch the sunset, seaside is definitely the right choice!

🚣【Great Value Activities】
✔️Free paddleboard & small boat experience
✔️Paid speedboat lake tour / wake surfing (super thrilling)
Secret tips🔖:
Recommended to go into the water at dusk
We unlocked in two days:
① Paddleboarding chasing the sunset🌅
② Soaking in the pool watching the evening glow🌄
Simply breathtaking!!
