This hidden gem route combining a breathtaking cliff village and a copper mining port is perfect for a quick getaway for busy workers! In just two to three days, you can experience the ethereal charm of Jiangxi and the industrial vibe of Anhui, plus a side trip to climb Mount Sanqing—both healing and fulfilling✨
🌟 Three-Day Highlight Itinerary:
DAY 1: Tongling Port Industrial Aesthetics → Stroll through Datong Ancient Town
📍 Tongling Port: An industrial aesthetic landmark by the Yangtze River, where rusted machinery meets the blue river water creating a painterly texture, a paradise for photography lovers! Recommended to visit at sunset for golden molten light shots (Navigation: Limoushan Road, Yian District, Tongling City)
🍴 Dinner recommendation: "Riverside Fisherman" near the port, must-try braised Jianglian fish
DAY 2: Wangxiangu Cliff Wonderland → Night Light Show
🚗 Transportation: 2.5 hours by car from Tongling (or take high-speed rail to Shangrao then taxi)
📍 Wangxiangu: A fairy village hidden on the cliff! The rammed earth houses beside the hanging waterfall look like scenes from "Spirited Away." Be sure to walk the skywalk (Entrance fee 100 RMB/person)
🌌 After dark, enjoy a stunning light show. Recommended to stay at the scenic area's guesthouse "Xiansu," where you can open the window to a starry river
DAY 3: Mount Sanqing One-Day Express (Optional)
⛰️ Route: 1 hour from Wangxiangu, recommended route: Jinsha Cableway → Eastern Goddess → Giant Python Emerging → Sunshine Coast Loop, covering core spots in 5 hours
💡 Tested Tips:
1. Bring non-slip shoes for Wangxiangu! Some stone paths are slippery
2. Tongling Port is windy by the river, bring a jacket in October
3. Choose the West Coast route on Mount Sanqing to save energy
4. Jiangxi cuisine is spicy, remember to request mild spice
🍜 Food Highlights:
Don’t miss Tongling’s "Datong Tea Tofu" and Wangxiangu’s "Kudzu Starch Jelly"! On the way back, buy Dengzhan Guo at Shangrao Station as a souvenir~
🏡 Accommodation Suggestions:
Stay inside the Wangxiangu scenic area (book at least two weeks in advance during peak season). In Tongling, hotels near Binjiang Avenue are very convenient.
The most stunning part of this trip is Wangxiangu at night—when thousands of lanterns light up, it truly feels like stepping into a fairy tale world! Plus, there are far fewer people than in Wuyuan, so no need to fight for photo spots~
