Immerse yourself in Jiangxi's springtime splendor on this 4-day journey from Shanghai, blending ethereal landscapes, ancient villages, and cultural traditions. Begin with a high-speed train ride to Shangrao, followed by a scenic transfer to Wangxian Valley, where bamboo forests, pebble-lined waterfalls, and Gan-style cottages frame misty gorges. By night, the valley transforms into a mystical realm with lantern-lit cliffsides and the dazzling Iron Flower Show, where artisans create fiery spark displays.
Day 2 unveils Huangling Village, a UNESCO-listed gem dubbed the "Potala Palace of Southern China." Wander Tianjie Street's Ming-Qing shops, explore sun-dried flower terraces ablaze with rapeseed blooms, and marvel at ancestral halls beneath cherry blossoms. The evening culminates in a fire pot ritual and fireworks over the village.
On Day 3, hike Jiangling's "Golden Ocean"—terraced hills carpeted in vibrant rapeseed flowers—before wandering Likeng Water Village, an 800-year-old settlement of stone bridges and willow-lined canals. Paddle bamboo rafts along the Likeng River or sip Wuyuan green tea at a riverside teahouse.
Conclude your adventure with a misty dawn photo session in Jiangling, capturing dreamy "sea of flowers" vistas, then return to Shanghai via high-speed rail. This itinerary captures Jiangxi’s essence: from immortal valleys to timeless villages, offering unforgettable moments for photographers, culture seekers, and nature lovers alike.
