Who would have thought Jiangxi still hides such a treasure!
Red Cliff Danxia, strange stone peaks and forests, boating on emerald waves, and the green wilderness fairyland
This place is known as a World Natural Heritage & Geopark
Great for hiking and photography, no crowds, perfect for National Day~
Riding a bamboo raft on Guifeng Lake 😎 feels like a little Guilin
Can't help but admire! Jiangxi's mountain and water scenery is truly stunning~
