Explore the hidden route of Longhu Mountain in Yingtan, Jiangxi!

Enjoy your holiday at Guixi Longhu Mountain! Here’s a personally tested, super smooth, and traffic-free best itinerary for you 🚣‍♀️

✨Highlights: Bamboo raft drifting + coffin raising performance + ancient town exploration + Taoist temple blessing, a one-stop experience of the essence of Longhu Mountain!

🚩One-day tour route:
Arrive at Longhu Bamboo Raft Pier before 9:30 AM and take a bamboo raft to start a leisurely water journey. The highlight is here! At 10:00 AM sharp, you can watch the stunning coffin raising performance, so be sure to grab a good spot in advance~ (The bamboo raft ride lasts about 40 minutes)

After getting off the raft, head straight to Elephant Trunk Hill (Address: 960 Xiangdao, Longhu Mountain Scenic Area). It’s recommended to take the east route to Yuxian Pool, a 3.5 km leisurely hike that takes about 1 hour. The karst landscape along the way is spectacular (open until 5:30 PM during daylight saving time).

At noon, go to Shangqing Ancient Town (open all day) for food. We recommend trying the town’s specialties: chestnut braised chicken and Dengzhan rice cake. After lunch, stroll along the thousand-year-old street, where the stilted buildings on both sides of the bluestone road are perfect for photos!

The last stop is the Celestial Master Mansion (open 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM). The aura of this Taoist ancestral temple is truly unique! The red walls and black tiles of the buildings are perfect for wearing Hanfu and taking photos. Don’t forget to get a peace amulet to take home~

💡Useful Tips:
1. Wear comfortable sports shoes and bring a bottle of water for the Elephant Trunk Hill hike
2. There are many handicraft shops in the ancient town, don’t hesitate to bargain
3. Keep quiet inside the Celestial Master Mansion Taoist temple
4. It’s best to book the bamboo raft one day in advance
