Sanqing Mountain Stunning Hiking

Shangrao, this hidden gem city, is perfect for short trips! A 3-day, 2-night itinerary is just right to cover all the highlights. The best surprise is the super low prices—500 RMB per person is enough for a great time~

🚶🏻♂️ Itinerary:
Day 1:
📍Wangxian Valley: A real-life fairyland, the cliffside guesthouse is super photogenic. It’s recommended to arrive around 4 PM to see two different stunning scenes—daytime and nighttime (ticket 100 RMB).
📍Lingshan Mountain: Taking the cable car up saves energy, and the sea of clouds at the summit is breathtaking. Remember to bring a jacket (cable car ticket 80 RMB).
Tips: Wangxian Valley and Lingshan are a bit far from the city center, so it’s best to rent a car or drive yourself.

Day 2:
📍Sanqing Mountain: Known as the "Little Huangshan," Yujing Peak and Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain are must-visit spots. Hiking takes about 4 hours (ticket 120 RMB).
📍Wuyuan Huangling: The autumn drying scenery is absolutely beautiful. It’s recommended to stay one night in a guesthouse; the morning mist is incredibly atmospheric (ticket 145 RMB including cable car).
Tips: Sanqing Mountain has many steps, so be sure to wear comfortable sports shoes.

Day 3:
📍Gexian Village: Feels like traveling back to the Tang and Song dynasties, perfect for Hanfu photoshoots (ticket 80 RMB).
📍Qianshan Hekou Ancient Town: Pristine Ming and Qing dynasty architecture with no commercialization at all (free).
Tips: Gexian Village has a light show at night, so it’s best to go in the afternoon to catch it.

🍜 Food Recommendations:
✅ Shangrao Roasted Chicken Leg: A must-try! Crispy skin and tender meat (recommended shop: Lao Min Roasted Chicken Leg).
✅ Qianshan Hot Rice Noodles: A long-established brand with super fresh broth (recommended shop: Old Street Hot Rice Noodles).
✅ Wuyuan Lotus Leaf Red Carp: Tender meat, available at most farmhouse restaurants.

🛏 Accommodation Suggestions:
✅ If budget allows, stay in the unique guesthouses at Wangxian Valley or Huangling.
✅ For cost-effectiveness, staying at the foot of Sanqing Mountain is recommended, where you can find comfortable rooms for around 200 RMB.
