    This trip to Shangrao was at the invitation of my guest and comrade-in-arms, and I was very satisfied. Our first stop was Yushan County, where we stayed at Mutao Homestay. I called beforehand, and the arrangements were excellent. Our second stop was Wangxiangu. Before setting off, I spent a lot of time looking at homestays—over 1000 in total! Finally, I chose Wangxi Xiaozhu Homestay. The price wasn't too high or too low; coming from Hangzhou, I wasn't worried about spending a few dozen yuan more, as long as I had a good time. I chose it primarily because of its excellent cleanliness and its poetic name! When we arrived, the owner drove us there. The homestays here are all self-built houses, all the same. The owner's service was superb; he offered to pick us up and drop us off at the scenic area. I even joked with him, asking what if he couldn't manage during peak season? He probably couldn't during peak season; the roads are narrow and traffic jams are a real hassle. The homestay is near a small river, very quiet, which was another reason I chose it. If it were closer to the road, it would be too noisy in the mornings. Here, I felt at home. The owner's parents were very kind and down-to-earth, making us water and offering us sunflower seeds—it felt like home. Secondly, the hygiene and bedding were excellent. The cleaning was meticulous, and the bedding was very comfortable. The pillows were the perfect height. The bathroom had a separate shower and toilet, and the toilet even had a built-in heater. They provided dry-cleaned towels as well as disposable face and shower towel sets. Finally, I want to say that I also run a guesthouse in Hangzhou. The service industry is tough; you have to serve every guest, and sometimes you'll encounter unreasonable people who deliberately cause trouble. But I believe everyone is equal. The owner of this guesthouse is a wonderful person. As someone in the same industry, and as a retired soldier, I think everything this guesthouse has done deserves respect. Chinese people don't cheat Chinese people. I will recommend the owner to other guests in Hangzhou and wish him continued success in his business.

    I bought a senior citizen ticket, which was half price. I felt I could walk more at my own pace, without rushing. The scenery in Huangling was truly beautiful; I strolled around, enjoying the views and the food—a very pleasant trip.

    1. Compared to the price and facilities of Shenxianju, this price is too expensive. 2. The cable car's operating hours are too short. I took the cable car at 10 am, and when I finished exploring the east side and was about to go to the west side, I realized the cable car would be closing by then. 3. The steps are relatively well-maintained and not too tiring to climb, but please install an elevator so more people can experience it.

    The essence of Wunvzhou Island lies entirely at night. The artificial Hui-style streetscape offers little to do during the day; its true highlight is at night. As dusk falls, the Baoyu Pagoda glows with shimmering light, the Hui-style architecture is reflected in the lake, and the swaying fish lanterns create a poetic scene. The intangible cultural heritage of iron-making is a major attraction, with molten iron at 1600℃ splashing like a golden river falling into the night—a truly breathtaking sight. However, the park's regular attractions are somewhat ordinary, and the NPC interactions are rather standard, offering few surprises. If you're only coming for the night view and the iron-making, visiting in the evening is more than enough to live up to your expectations.

    This stay was absolutely fantastic! The cleanliness of the guesthouse far exceeded my expectations. The room was spotless, the bedding smelled fresh, and the bathroom facilities were sparkling clean—not even the corners were missed. As a clean freak, I was extremely satisfied. The owner was also incredibly warm and attentive, patiently sharing everything from directions before check-in to local travel tips and restaurant recommendations after arrival. They even proactively helped with luggage and answered any travel questions, making me feel completely at ease. Staying here felt like home—clean, comfortable, and with the warmth of a friend. I've already recommended it to my friends, and I'll definitely choose this place again next time!

    I visited 7 out of 11 attractions in three days, which was worthwhile. The ancient buildings in Jiangwan, the chrysanthemums in Xiaoqi, the streams and bridges in Likeng, the morning mist and red maples in Shicheng, and the ancient camphor trees in Yantian were particularly impressive. I'll visit the remaining ones in spring to see the rapeseed flowers.

    Overall: Only the buildings along the river were open, but they were mostly restaurants or shops, not very large. The river was low at this time, and the rest of the alleys took an hour to walk through. There wasn't much to see. Tickets and Scenic Area Bus: Tickets are a bit overpriced. The 5 RMB bus at the entrance is only for a one-way trip, so walking allows for more scenic views. Food: There are many residents. The braised koi fish was delicious and tender, with a nice wok aroma. The mushy tofu was average, and the rice was unpalatable. Transportation: For the wealthy, a taxi from the high-speed rail station costs 20-40. Working people can take Wuyuan Line 1, Line 2, or Line 502 to the old bus station for 1 RMB. Alternatively, take the Huangling Tourist Bus for 6 RMB and walk 10 minutes to the main entrance.

    As a standard 5A-level scenic spot, the service standards are in place and the prices are acceptable. The scenic area has its own affordable supermarket (the way domestic scenic spots make money is really ugly). The entire tour is on foot, with the main loop and the Xiake route. The scenery is quite good.

    My first visit to Poyang Lake was absolutely breathtaking! The experience of taking a sightseeing bus to the pier and then a cruise on the lake was simply amazing. The scenery of Poyang Lake, with its shimmering waters and verdant mountains, exudes the beauty of nature and is truly unforgettable. The birds in the migratory bird park are like lively little elves, making it feel like a magical island. The vastness of the grasslands makes you forget your worries. Not visiting Wunian Island to feel the breeze would be a wasted trip! 😀
