A 2-day itinerary for the underrated treasure city of Xinyu, Jiangxi.

Jiangxi has so many fun cities and attractions to visit!
After visiting the popular destinations, I chose the lesser-known Xinyu this time.
I didn't expect it to be such an underrated treasure city!
It's definitely worth spending a weekend exploring.

🏨 It's more convenient to stay in the city center, but if you stay at Fairy Lake, you can enter the scenic area earlier the next day to take photos.
😋 Jiangxi cuisine is generally quite spicy, so if you usually eat mild food, it's recommended to prepare some stomach medicine in advance.
