I thought the 72 Arcades were already stunning, but there's an even more beautiful place!

I saw reviews about this place in January and decided I definitely wanted to visit! It's so beautiful, I really liked it 👍🏼
Many travelers recommend spending 2-3 days in 望仙谷, but I think that's too much! Besides, the ticket is only valid on the day of purchase, not for 24 hours.
So, I recommend arriving around 11-12 in the afternoon and staying until late evening. This way, you can enjoy the daytime beauty, explore all the paths and trails, and see the village illuminated by thousands of lights! I arrived after sunset and had a hard time finding my way in the dark, not knowing where the start or end was :)
Be sure to try the 八宝葛粉羹 porridge! It doesn't look very appealing, but it's really delicious! By the way, they offered me to take the cup as a souvenir 😉
And the 油条包麻糍 sticks are very tasty – they go perfectly with black coffee!
If you're like me and not used to Chinese breakfasts, I recommend bringing something familiar if you decide to stay overnight in the village. In the morning, not much is open, and there are no coffee shops in the village itself (only in the scenic area).
Getting there is very easy: a bus to 望仙谷 costs ¥30, and on the way back, I took a taxi, which was about ¥140 to my hotel in Shangrao.
