Nestled at the foot of Gexian Mountain in Yanshan County, Jiangxi, Gexian Village embodies Taoist culture and blends classical landscape aesthetics to create a mystical wonderland that feels "hidden deep in the clouds." By day, stroll along Lingbao Immortal Street, where bamboo shadows sway, and experience intangible cultural heritage crafts. Ascend to Tianjing Terrace, where mist-shrouded peaks resemble the famed "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting. At nightfall, the Water Screen Show and light display at Zhongmiao Pavilion dazzle, while lantern-lit Lingbao Immortal Street transports visitors back a millennium. Stay at unique accommodations like Pillow Mountain Lodge—value-packed packages include entrance tickets and cable car rides. At dawn, take the cable car to Gexian Mountain for blessings, embracing the poetic charm of "resting by mountains and listening to springs." Whether you're a fantasy enthusiast or a seeker of serenity, this sanctuary offers a temporary escape from the mundane to live a few days of "celestial life."
