Poyang Lake Caohai has become legendary with 2 less crowded and beautiful off-the-beaten-path routes (detailed guide included)

You have to visit Poyang Lake Caohai at least once — here, you can see the traces of the wind passing by 🌬️ Endless greenery rolls like waves, and the sky is so low it feels like you can reach out and touch it. But just taking photos in the grass sea isn’t enough! I’ve put together 2 less crowded and beautiful routes, perfect for zoning out, taking pictures, daydreaming… easily dominating your social feed!

.

📌 Route 1 ➤

Xiufeng Waterfall → Liuxing Mountain → Cube Cat Art Village → Poyang Lake Shipwreck Ruins

🔹 In the morning, experience the poetic scene of “a waterfall plunging three thousand feet,” hike about 20 minutes up Liuxing Mountain to overlook the magnificent sea of clouds;

🔹 In the afternoon, visit Cube Cat Art Village to snap giant cat murals & enjoy coffee, then head to the shipwreck site at dusk for cyberpunk-style photos + camping and sunset watching;

🔹 Recommended to drive yourself, no public transport available; free admission throughout 🎫;

.

📌 Route 2 ➤

Flaming Mountain → Luoxingdun Grassland

🔹 In the morning, see the “sea” and windmill stone at Flaming Mountain with an ultra-wide view;

🔹 In the afternoon, camp, walk dogs, fly kites, or just lie down and daydream at Luoxingdun Grassland… the vibe is super chill;

⚠️ 𝐓𝐈𝐏𝐒:

· Be sure to apply sunscreen! UV rays are strong and weather changes quickly;

· Bring mosquito repellent, skin can get itchy after contact with the grass;

· Support leave-no-trace travel, please take all your trash with you;

· Parking around Luoxingdun is difficult, it’s recommended to find a spot early;

.

Whether the scenery is beautiful depends half on the weather and half on your mood. If you also enjoy — running on the grassland, lying down and daydreaming, playing with dogs, watching clouds and feeling the breeze… then one of these two routes will definitely suit you.
