Jiangxi's hidden gem, I want to recommend it to everyone.
Guys, don't just focus on Wuyuan and Jingdezhen when traveling to Jiangxi! Today, I'm going to share with you a hidden gem that only locals know - Fuzhou. 😎
The charm of Fuzhou lies not only in its small population and easy access, but also in its profound cultural heritage. It is the hometown of countless Tang and Song Dynasty scholars, including Wang Anshi, Tang Xianzu, Zeng Gong, Yan Zi, and Yan Jidao! With 7 prime ministers and over 3,000 Jinshi (successful candidates in the imperial examinations), Fuzhou is undoubtedly the "hometown of talented people"! 💯
🚶Must-visit attractions in Fuzhou:
1️⃣ Wenchangli: One of the largest historical and cultural districts in Jiangxi, preserving ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as Yulong Wanshou Palace. There is also a large-scale live performance of "Dream of the Peony Pavilion", making Wenchangli a must-visit place in Fuzhou. 🌉
2️⃣ Zhengjue Ancient Temple: One of the most beautiful temples I have ever visited, built in the Tang Dynasty. The pagoda in the temple is very eye-catching, like a landmark of Wenchangli, and the night view is even more stunning. 🌕
3️⃣ Dajueshan: Dajueshan not only has the "Dajueshan Rafting", the first rafting in Asia, but also the cable car is a must-see. The second half of the 1368-meter cable car offers a breathtaking view of the Dajueshan Goddess Statue. The Dajueshan Rock Temple under the cliffs is also very distinctive. 📿(🎫:140 r, including entrance ticket ➕ sightseeing bus ➕ cable car)
4️⃣ St. Joseph's Cathedral: A very beautiful church, also the third largest Catholic church in China, stunningly lit up at night. ⛪️
5️⃣ Wang Anshi Memorial Hall: A must-visit place to learn about Wang Anshi, the first of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and to experience his life's ups and downs and ambitions. The Song Dynasty garden-style architecture and lotus flowers are also very charming. 🪷
6️⃣ Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall: Tang Xianzu's "Four Dreams of Linchuan" shaped the temperament and core of Fuzhou. Revisit the romantic and timeless "Peony Pavilion", and you will have a different understanding of this Ming Dynasty playwright.
7️⃣ Niyandai: One of the landmark buildings in Fuzhou, Lu You climbed it many times, and Zeng Gong also wrote "Niyandai Ji". Here you can overlook the whole city of Fuzhou. ☁️

🏨 Accommodation & Food Recommendations:
You can take the high-speed rail to "Fuzhou Station" to get to Fuzhou. It is recommended to stay near Wenchangli, which is the most convenient for transportation. Local specialties include Fuzhou Paofen, Linchuan Niuza, Linchuan Lotus Root, Lotus Root Candy, etc., each bite is unforgettable. 😋
Fuzhou, this low-key historical city, is really worth a visit. Add it to your travel list now! 💕
This time I came to Dajueshan to buy a package ticket. It is now off-season. There is fog on the mountain, and many places are under maintenance. It is not open. Basically, I have not seen anything. The so-called aerobic cable car is simply funny, to put it bluntly, the early kind of double cable car without glass, now basically no use.
Dajue Mountain is great, the price is very high, the scenery of the high-altitude cable car is really good, there is no publicity, so people from other provinces are not very clear. The traffic is not very convenient. From Shanghai, take the high-speed rail to Yingtan. The next morning, take the bus from Yingtan to Zixi and take a taxi to the scenic spot in Zixi. After the scenic tour, Didi called the car and couldn't call the vehicle to the passenger station. Finally, he remembered to call the outbound driver and ask him to pick up the person at the round-trip price, otherwise he would really miss the bus. The driver happened to send a wave of guests to Dajueshan, and finally only charged the return fare, Jiangxi good people!
During May 1st, avoid the crowd and bring the baby to play. Although it rains, it is very happy. The forest oxygen bar and the cable car are slowly playing. It is very suitable for taking the elderly and children to family tours. There are not many roads to walk. The construction of the ancient town is very beautiful.
Hiking the mountain, a word cool
Thirteen years ago, I brought my child's mother to Dajueshan. At that time, it was not the scenic spot. It was rafting. After thirteen years, I brought my baby. The scenic spot was much bigger. With the cable car and many new ways to play, it was getting better and better.
The scenery is beautiful and the scenic area is convenient. The price is very high, the commercialization degree is not high, water and food must be bought in advance in the visitor center or brought by yourself, there are few shopping points in the scenic area, and there are not many varieties.
The weather was too hot and I turned back when I arrived at Nantianmen. Children can play rafting in summer. There is nothing to play for the elderly. There is a scene but there is a need to transfer inside. There is no queue for the return transfer and the staff is a bit messy.
Staff service is in place.
