A Fairyland on Earth --- Gexian Village, Jiangxi

A celestial village hidden in Qianshan! Gexian Village Resort takes you through a thousand-year-old fairyland, Li Bai didn't lie to me!!
In Jiangxi, I captured photos where I could pluck stars by hand. "A hundred-foot-high tower, where one can pluck stars by hand" - Li Bai truly didn't deceive me. Ascending the Star-Picking Tower in this secluded village in Shangrao, Jiangxi, it feels as if you can reach out and touch the Milky Way. During the day, mist swirls and boats glide on the lake; at night, the sound of flutes fills the air and the moon shines brightly, recreating Xin Qiji's "A night of fish and dragon dance". If you're tired of the daily grind, why not come to Gexian Village, travel back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to watch the lantern parade, enjoy intangible cultural heritage performances, and live a few days like an immortal?

Xin Qiji's Lantern Festival comes to life here with fish lanterns, dragon lanterns, rabbit lanterns, and box lanterns. Everyone wears Hanfu and parades with lanterns, creating a lively atmosphere.

21:15 PM: Medicine-Ignited Puppets + Fireworks Show at Star Plaza
I never expected to see the same medicine-ignited puppets as in 'Hidden Sea Legend' in real life. Jiangxi's cultural tourism truly has no rivals when it comes to intangible cultural heritage performances.
Fireworks bloom above the Star-Picking Tower, blurring the lines between heaven and earth at this moment.
Day 2
Morning: Boat Ride and Feeding Koi
Buy a bag of fish food, take a small boat out on the lake, and watch the koi chase after it. Every few minutes, mist sprays from the lakeside, creating a misty, ethereal fairyland reminiscent of Jiangnan.

A truly spectacular high-tech waterfall, wave after wave, like Li Bai's poem "Its torrent plunges three thousand feet".
