Qi Yun Mountain Travel Guide
Two-day tour of Qi Yun Mountain, experience the beauty of Danxia landform and ancient villages
Today I'm going to share with you a super awesome two-day tour of Qi Yun Mountain that I just experienced. Departing from Huangshan North Station, the scenery along the way is picturesque, as if stepping into a long scroll of landscape.
Transportation:
We started from the high-speed rail Huangshan North Station, took a direct bus or taxi to Qi Yun Mountain, the transportation is very convenient.
Accommodation:
In Qi Yun Mountain town, we chose an antique inn with a quiet environment and complete facilities. The price for one night is very affordable, although the specific cost is not mentioned, but believe me, it's definitely worth it.
Attractions:
On the first day, we visited Qi Yun Mountain, a scenic spot famous for its Danxia landform, which is breathtaking. We took the Yuehua cable car up the mountain and enjoyed the views of the cloud street, cliff carvings, Danxia landform, etc. The tour route includes Wangxian Tower, Shouzi Rock, Zhenxian Cave Mansion, Yuehua Street, Incense Burner Peak, Tai Su Palace, Small Pot Sky, Yuxu Palace, Ziyun Pass, Wulao Peak, Fangla Fort, Danxia Corridor and the highest peak. Finally, we took the cable car down the mountain, looking at the scenery under our feet, as if in a fairyland.
Bilian Pond: There are cliff carvings here, which is a good place for photography.
Yuehua Street: A village on the top of the mountain with shops, restaurants and homestays. Walking on the ancient streets, it's like going back to ancient times.
Small Pot Sky: The hidden 'Gourd Gate', suitable for photography. Standing here, it's like being in a painting.
Yuxu Palace: The red Taoist temple is located under the cliff, very stunning, also a good place for photography.
Tour time:
The whole tour up the mountain takes about 4-5 hours. So I suggest you guys start early.
Precautions:
Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. After all, we have to walk a long mountain road to enjoy these beautiful views.
The last cable car down the mountain is at 16:50, if you miss it, you'll have to walk down. So be sure to keep track of time.
There are many attractions in Qi Yun Mountain, if you want to have a deep tour, it is recommended to plan your itinerary in advance.
Be sure to pay attention to safety on the mountain, do not climb places without safety protection such as rocks.
Please keep the environment clean in the scenic area, do not litter.
Overall, this two-day tour of Qi Yun Mountain made me feel the grandeur of nature and the charm of culture. If you also want to have a spontaneous trip, why not come to Qi Yun Mountain!

Mount Qiyun(齐云山)|The Gathering of Clouds
Mount Qiyun of 2061.3 M height, locates at Shangyou County of Jiangxi Province, and one of the Ten Famouse Mountains in Jiangxi.
As it's still not reachable by any pave road, it stays very wild and natural for hikers. It's highly recommended to have a 2-day hike and camp on the mountain top at night. On the way to the top, you would come across a bamboo forest, then thick woods, and then reach a grassland with lots of lovely cow families. What I love this mountain the most, must be the clouds surrounding it, and the stunning sunset, moon-rise, and sunrise! As we just finished enjoying the beautiful sunset, turn around, there was the soft moon rised from the pink and light blue horizon afar. First and best mountain camping experience up till now.
* It's quite windy at the mountain top, do prepare a proper sleeping bag.
* There is a very small stream for water, but a little bit dirty, need to boil before drinking.
* Bring enough food with you as there is no supply on the way up.

Highlights of the 'Great Prairie' in Ganzhou, Jiangxi
"The sky is vast, the field is boundless, the wind blows the grass low and reveals the cattle and sheep." Living in the south of the Yangtze River, many people have imagined galloping across the endless prairies, with shepherd girls singing loudly, and a boundless sea of green with cattle and sheep everywhere.
Today, I will take my friends from the south to a different 'Great Prairie' in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, to experience a different 'prairie style' of the south.
(1)
Yaokou Internet-famous Prairie in Gan County District
In Yaokou, Hujiang Town, Gan County District, this ancient She ethnic village is a pure small mountain village on the Gan River water area. It is the watershed at the border of Gan County District and Wan'an County, facing Wan'an County across the river.
On this vast prairie of ten thousand acres, there is knotweed everywhere, with green waves rippling, and it is stunningly beautiful. The total area of the prairie is about 14 square kilometers, about 50 kilometers from the central urban area of Ganzhou.
🚉Transportation Strategy:
Driving route: Depart from Ganzhou, take the Ganchu Highway—Chutan—Tourism Highway—towards Gutian direction from Hujiang Town Government—Yaokou Village—Internet-famous Prairie. The local mountain roads are winding, so be careful when driving. The riverbed grass is slippery, and visitors should not blindly seek out unfamiliar areas.
(2)
The Prairie in Guobu Town, Chongyi County
During the dry season of March, April, and May every year, a 'Internet-famous prairie' grows on the riverbeds around Guobu.
The river beach is full of greenery, and the wilderness is covered with purple vetch. The light breeze blows, and the green grass surges like waves, just like the secret grass sea realm in Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro.
This is the best season for sky tent camping and luxurious picnics. The prairie activities of Ganzhou's Little Li River are also passionately renewed. Set up a sky tent, prepare a table of meals, and invite a few good friends, 'poetry and distance' are within reach.
🚉Transportation Strategy:
Driving route: Depart from Ganzhou, take the Xiaron Expressway—exit at Chongyi Toll Station—National Highway 357 Jin Yu section—Yangming Lake Wetland Park.
(3)
Shuiyan Qixing Wetland in Shangyou County
In Shuiyan Township, Shangyou County, there is a place where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city and return to the embrace of nature.
This is the Qixing Ecological Kuwan Wetland in Shangyou County—a paradise closer than Hulunbuir.
Bring your family to Qixing Ecological Kuwan Wetland and let your soul be released.
Watch the leisurely herd of cattle, chase the agile egrets, and indulge in the fragrance of wildflowers... Every moment here is a unique memory.
🚉Transportation Strategy:
Driving route: Depart from Ganzhou, take the Xiaron Expressway—exit at Shangyou East Toll Station—Yingbin Avenue—Provincial Highway 547 Shangtai Line, Shangjiang Line—Dongsheng Road—Shuiyan Township.
(4)
Dinglong Reservoir Grassland in Xingguo
Every spring, when the water level of Dinglong Reservoir drops, the 'prairie' hidden underwater will 'float' to the surface. With the spring breeze, the 'prairie' begins to gradually revive. The freshly green grass shyly pokes its head out, and the stiff ground has become as soft as a carpet. The shiny green wild grass sways in the breeze, interspersed with clusters of wildflowers. From a distance, it looks like a floral pattern embroidered on a green carpet, and herds of cattle and sheep immediately start running wildly upon seeing the vast prairie, rolling around on the prairie to their heart's content. Being in such a beautiful prairie naturally puts one in a good mood.
This place is purely natural, with no admission fee, self-entertainment, and you can play however you want. Here you can fully enjoy the beauty and release your purest emotions.
🚉Transportation Strategy:
Driving route: Depart from Ganzhou, take the Xiarong Expressway—Nanshao Expressway—Quannan Expressway—exit at Dinglong Toll Station—Chengxing Section of County Road 454—pass Dinglong Township—Fuxing Farm (mobile banquet).
📝Note tips:
Warm reminder: Water is the source of life. All these 'Great Prairies' are reservoir areas, and many reservoirs are sources of drinking water for people. Therefore, we must cherish these wetlands and prairies as much as we cherish our own eyes. We hope that everyone who comes here will treasure this comfortable corner, keep it clean, remember its scenery when you leave, and take away things that do not belong to it.

Since it is a cultural town of tea tourism, tea is an essential element. A cup of warm and mellow tea soup, you really found the cultural connotation of the town.
SHUN.
Xingxin Town is located in Longnan County, Cangzhou City, Jiangxi Province. This recently emerging tea culture and cultural town is located at the junction of Jiangxi Province and Guangdong Province. It is unknown in the deep mountains. Currently, there are not many tourists, very clean, away from Guangzhou. Just over two hundred kilometers, it is really a good place for tourists from neighboring cities to come and shun.
I am most impressed here, but also count their "ice wine". It turns out that if you want to drink this kind of "ice wine" hidden in bamboo, you must use a small hammer to knock the green bamboo out of a small mouth, and the wine inside can be poured out for everyone to enjoy.
The liquor poured out from the bamboo is light yellow, and there is fine bamboo fiber material in the wine. It smells very sweet, and the fragrance of green bamboo invades into the wine, and the fragrance of the wine has been merged for many years. One, even if you don't drink alcohol, don't know wine, just smell it, it is enough to make you intoxicated.

Ganzhou must-visit attractions - take note! Really awesome
First stop is Zao'er Lane, one of the six ancient streets of Ganzhou, featuring the most representative ancient buildings and bluestone roads.
After leaving Zao'er Lane, you come to the ancient city wall, which has been filled with the smoke of life for a thousand years. Inside and outside the city wall, there are many authentic snack stalls, and from atop the wall, you can see the scenery inside and outside the city, as well as the Gong River and the floating bridge in full view.
Coming out of the city wall is the Donghe Floating Bridge, an ancient floating bridge in Ganzhou, officially named Huimin Bridge. The bridge is about 400 meters long, connecting the two ends of the Gong River, and is made up of more than 100 small boats tied together with ropes. It was built during the Qiandao period of the Song Dynasty (1163—1173) and has a history of over 800 years.
The entire floating bridge is divided into 33 sections, connected by ropes, and then fixed above the river surface with steel cables and iron anchors. In the past, when the Gan River's water transport was busy, the bridge would open once at 9:00 am and again at 4:00 pm every day to allow ships to pass through.
The bridge is bustling with people coming and going, with small stalls and fishing boats doing business, making it very lively.
At night, you can visit the Yugu Terrace Historical and Cultural District. The district is large, and the night view is very beautiful. Walking through it is like stepping into the Song Dynasty city of the south of the Yangtze River, with many girls in ancient costumes taking photos, which is really photogenic.
For dinner, you can go to the Hakka Courtyard. The entire restaurant is very characteristic, with an ancient building inside. The cuisine mainly features Jiangxi Hakka dishes, and the taste is also very good.

Experience a day as a 'Song Dynasty person' strolling through the Ganzhou Ancient Floating Bridge ruins
Experience a day as a 'Song Dynasty person'❗ Stroll through the Ganzhou Ancient Floating Bridge ruins.
Ganzhou city is surrounded by water on three sides, with a wide river surface. During the Song Dynasty, three floating bridges were built successively on the East River, West River, and South River. The East River floating bridge was demolished due to the construction of a highway bridge and has now become Ganzhou's 'national treasure' level cultural relic🕰️
-
Walking on the East River floating bridge, it feels as if one can sense the ancient prosperity and splendor. It is not just a bridge but also a continuation of spirit, inspiring people to love their hometown, love culture, and to carry on and promote the excellent traditional Chinese culture🌉✨

🌟Highlights:
March and April are the best times to visit this ancient city.
The shouting stalls on the shore, the grandmothers beating clothes by the river, although there is no time machine, you can still vaguely see the swaying cured fish on the boats, which were also hung here during the Song Qian Dao years,
In the small boats beside the floating bridge, some people stand alone at the bridge head looking into the distance, while others play in groups of three or two, each with their own happiness, each with their own sorrows.
What can make you travel back in time might be the magnificent palace walls of the capital, or it could be the common fireworks by the Gan River.
By the side of Ganzhou's floating bridge, a thousand years can be seen in a glance.
