Things to do in Hengfeng

Guifeng Scenic Area is quite nice, but it needs more promotion. There weren't too many tourists during the National Day holiday. The scenic area offered a variety of interactive activities, which were very engaging and provided a great emotional experience. The scenery is beautiful, and climbing up and down the mountain is not difficult. A day trip there was very relaxing, and the boat ride back offered stunning views of the lake and mountains.

Lingshan Mountain in Shangrao truly offers a painless climb, with cable car and escalator access throughout, making it easy for even the elderly to reach the summit. If you choose to go in mid-May, the azaleas are in full bloom, the weather isn't too hot, and the summit is quite comfortable – a highly recommended destination.

Wangxian Valley was absolutely breathtaking! It felt like stepping into a fairytale. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, especially with all the traditional architecture and magical atmosphere.We had such a wonderful time taking Hanfu pictures, trying lots of delicious local food, and watching all the different performances. Every show was so entertaining and added something special to the experience.We laughed, explored, ate so much, and enjoyed every moment. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to China. A place I would highly recommend visiting! ❤️

Gexian Village truly feels like a fairyland! Surrounded by green mountains, with elegant ancient buildings, the village is breathtakingly beautiful at night when the lanterns are lit. Every step reveals a picturesque scene, creating a wonderful atmosphere for photos. The overall experience is fantastic and definitely worth a special trip.

The ancient street is built along the Xinjiang River, with bustling shops on one side and the leisurely Xinjiang River on the other. The ancient street is east-west, 6 meters wide and 5 miles long. It consists of Yibao Street, Erbao Street, Qipan Street, Sanbao Street on the east end and Banbian Street on the west end. There are more than 500 shops preserved on both sides from Yibao to Sanbao. Today, it still retains the marks of the prosperity of the old times and the quaint style. On the 500-meter-long Ming and Qing ancient street along the river, the buildings are endless and lined up, exuding an ancient and elegant temperament; Qing

I like places with beautiful scenery and few people. It is very suitable for traveling with parents. It is also comfortable during holidays. I recommend it. It is a little far from the city, but it is worth it. My parents are very satisfied with the experience. Good review

Traveling to Jiangxi, I came to the Gexian Mountain Scenic Area in Shangrao. Gexian Mountain is located in Qianshan County, at the northern foot of Wuyi Mountain, and belongs to the branch of Wuyi Mountain. Gexian Mountain belongs to the Yanshan period granite landform, with the main peak at an altitude of 1,096 meters. It has a strong Taoist culture and is a famous Taoist mountain. There are Da Gexian Temple, Niangniang Temple, Ciji Temple, etc. in the scenic area. In the evening, there is a musical fountain stage play in the scenic area, which tells a story of Taoist culture.

Because the Gangshou Cableway is less crowded and reaches the highest point of Sanqingshan, it avoids long queues and steep climbs compared to the other two cableways. Therefore, we booked the Sanqingshan Lifeng Hotel, which is closest to the Gangshou Cableway, so we could take the earliest cableway up the mountain the next day. The hotel facilities were good; there was an elevator to the fourth floor, and our room was on the fifth floor. The owner helped us carry our luggage to the room. The room was fully equipped with toiletries, including disposable towels and bath towels. The bathroom had a basic wet and dry separation (it's strange that many guesthouses in Wuyuan don't have a full partition between the shower and toilet, only separating them, which causes water to splash onto the toilet). The hotel breakfast included delicious noodle soup. The owner was very welcoming and recommended sightseeing itineraries for Sanqingshan. He even drove us to the cable car station in the morning. The hotel also provided free hiking poles and had a restaurant, which was very convenient.

A little bit pricey and we thought it’s included on the ticket but it’s a good way to start your hiking journey. The view on the way to the top is amazing!!!

I think this place is pretty good. I'd recommend staying from around 11 am until evening. Take your time exploring. It seems like it's also very photogenic. I liked some of the old houses. However, it's a popular tourist spot, so it gets really crowded.
