Spend three days exploring Xinyu & Jiuzhi🚩 These two hidden gem cities in Jiangxi are perfect for short trips! Offering breathtaking natural scenery while preserving rich cultural heritage~
🌟Trip Highlights
Day 1:
📍Kuanxin Ancient Town (Kongmu River Avenue, Yushui District, Xinyu) Perfectly recreates the charm of Jiangnan water towns, with stone bridges over flowing water against black-tiled white walls - super photogenic! Arrive before 9am for fewer crowds and ideal lighting.
📍Fairy Lake Jinshishan Mining Park (Fairy Lake District, Xinyu) This park transformed from abandoned mines is incredibly unique. The stark contrast between mine crevices and Fairy Lake creates perfect industrial-style backdrops - wear bright colors for striking photos.
Day 2:
📍Baoshi Park (Baoshi Road, Yushui District, Xinyu) Built to commemorate famous calligrapher Fu Baoshi. Don't miss the Baoshi Memorial Hall inside! Open 8:30-17:00.
📍Fairy Lake Scenic Area (Jiuzhi County) This is true fairyland! Take a cruise (ticket ¥80) - in July/August you'll see the lake covered with lotus flowers.
Day 3:
📍Yangtian Ridge Hiking Trail (Yushui District, Xinyu) About 2-hour hike. The mountaintop observatory offers panoramic views of Xinyu! Bring water and sun protection.
📍Yutiancheng New Century Grand Hotel (North Shengli Road, Yushui District) Perfect for last night stay with multiple shopping districts within walking distance.
💡Practical tips:
1. Xinyu's attractions are concentrated - cycling or walking recommended
2. Jiuzhi has higher altitude - bring sunscreen and light jacket
3. Mining park has uneven terrain - wear comfortable sneakers
🍜Food recommendations:
▫️Xinyu mixed rice noodles (try at old-brand "Pangzi Noodle Shop")
▫️Fairy Lake fish head (available at farmhouse restaurants near scenic area)
▫️Jiuzhi Tibetan fragrant pork (authentic at any Tibetan restaurants along the way)
