Jiangxi Shangrao: Discovering the "Hulunbuir" of Jiangnan in the Poyang Lake Grassland

Embark on an impromptu grassland adventure, starting from Shangrao, Jiangxi!

Transportation Guide:
Drive approx. 2.5 hrs from Nanchang, and navigate to "Poyang Lake Grassland Scenic Area." The rural scenery along the way is super healing! High-speed rail travelers can choose "Poyang North Station" or "Poyang Station," and take a 30 min taxi directly to the destination. It is recommended to check road conditions in advance to avoid weekend peaks.

Ticket Booking:
The adult ticket is CNY 60 (including sightseeing bus + island ferry ticket). During peak season, it is recommended to book on Trip.com 1 day in advance! Students, remember to bring your ID, as some attractions offer discounts.

Photo Guide:
✨ Props: Balloons + straw hat + light-colored long skirt = stunning photos in minutes!
✨ Spots: Wunian Island viewing platform at sunset, reed maze, running under the windmill. Drone aerial photography of the grass sea is even more amazing!
✨ Tips: The light is soft after 3pm. Backlight shots of silhouettes are super dreamy.

Recommended Food and Accommodation:
🔥 Must-try: Poyang Lake Whole Fish Feast (silverfish soup is so delicious), rice dumplings, and artemisia stir-fried cured meat! The farmhouses outside the scenic area are super cost-effective.

🏡 Accommodation: If you want to lie in the grassland, choose the Starry Sky Camp. For family trips, we recommend "Jiangxi Fuli Resort" (30 min from the scenic area, with a campsite + pomelo sea that is super healing).

Tips to Avoid Pitfalls:
⚠️ Lots of mosquitoes! Bring mosquito repellent + long pants, and wear flat shoes to prevent foot pricks.
⚠️ It costs an extra CNY 50/car to drive onto the island, but the experience is worth it!
⚠️ It is forbidden to litter in the grass sea area. Everyone is responsible for protecting the environment.

Standing on Wunian Island and watching the grass sea rise and fall with the wind is like lying in a Miyazaki animation! In the evening, migratory birds skim across the sky, and tasting grilled fish by the campfire at the Starry Sky Camp, I suddenly understood the romance of "leaving the island without a thought." This underestimated Jiangnan secret is definitely worth adding to your travel list!

Useful Information:
📍 Address: Shuanggang Town, Poyang County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province
📅 Best time: Grass sea period from April to October, bird watching season from October to November
