A seriously underrated mountain and water treasure in Jiangxi, afraid it will become too popular

Just a 2-hour high-speed train ride from Hangzhou, and you’ll find such a mountain and water treasure!

Here are the stunning peaks and clear waters that rival Guilin,
Here is the Danxia landform listed as a World Natural Heritage site.
The feeling of "sailing on the clear waves, as if traveling inside a painting" can only be truly experienced in person!

🗺️ Recommended routes
👉 The scenic area offers three routes: Shengu Line, Xiake Line, and Full Route.
- For a quick and essential check-in, choose the Shengu Line; you can enjoy it well in one day.
- If you have good stamina and enough time, the Full Route + Xiake Line is recommended, perfect for a 2-day weekend trip.
- Normally, the most recommended is the Xiake Line, which is the route we took. Details below~
🚶Xiake Line:
▪️ Shengu Welcome ➠ Century Path ➠ Green Wild Trail ➠ Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers ➠ General’s Tower ➠ Hero Slope ➠ Crape Myrtle Garden
▪️ About 8 km in total, takes around 3.5 hours, walking and taking photos without getting too tired.
▪️ There are many photo spots along the way; no need to memorize camera positions, on a good day every shot looks like a comic.

✅ Personal recommended check-in spots
✔ Guifeng Lake
I was amazed just by the view overlooking Guifeng Lake! After descending, you can take a bamboo raft for photos or a sightseeing boat tour.
✔ Green Wild Trail
My favorite place! A whole green light forest, super atmospheric whether sunny or rainy, perfect for fairy-like photos!
.
💃 There is also a night tour performance in the scenic area, starting at 8 PM, very suitable for kids.
💡 There are small shops on the mountain where you can buy water and snacks, no need to bring too much up the mountain~
🏨 Staying in a hotel inside the scenic area is more convenient. We stayed at Huajianling · Bishui Danxin, with excellent views! The window looks out directly at the mountains, living right inside the scenery.
