Xinfeng travel guide and discussion

The annual Double Eleven shopping festival is approaching, and it's time to "stock up" on Northbound discount packages. Many deals are as low as ten or twenty yuan, covering meals, accommodations, and even beauty treatments. Let me share my haul from last year (not hard to grab, as they're affordable even on regular days). Transportation Tips - (Many elderly people are familiar with this) Hong Kong seniors with a "JoyYou Card" can take Citybus to the Liantang Port for a round trip cost of HK$4. In Shenzhen, subway rides are free ✌. Beauty Treatments - Shenzhen Bay has many upscale salons offering haircuts starting from just over ¥10 to perms costing over ¥200. On the day, I got a haircut at Top1NG* in Shenzhen Bay for ¥19 (Photo 2). Later, I visited Yue*Li Beauty in Houhai, Shenzhen Bay, for a "Crystal Doll" facial treatment priced at ¥49. I was very satisfied. The shop is run by Hong Kongers, all equipment is officially certified, and it's a one-time payment without any upselling (Photo 6). Hotels - Houhai also has a highly cost-effective hotel, "Shenzhen Kapok Hotel," with stunning decor. It's located right above the beauty salon. However, I didn't stay there that day. On regular days, the average cost per person is around ¥400 (Photo 1). Dining and Restaurants - Vegetarian buffets: Shenzhen has many affordable vegetarian restaurants, some even offering free meals (owners aiming to accumulate good karma). On the day, I visited *Wei Mei Su near Cui Zhu Station. The decor is cozy, mostly booth seating for privacy, and the place feels clean and hygienic. ¥22 (Photos 3 and 4). If you don't stay at a hotel, the average cost per person is ¥97.

fall completely in love with this Song dynasty city and want to come back every year to relax! As a seasoned traveler who’s been three times, I’m sharing my ultimate, detailed guide. Read it and copy the plan🔥 · -- 🍜 Food recommendations|No risk, just delicious Ganzhou is the heart of Hakka cuisine. Any old restaurant you step into will overwhelm you with amazing aromas! Ganzhou stir-fried fish must be number one! Fresh local grass carp is first fried to lock in moisture, then braised with a secret sauce, chili, and rice vinegar for a fresh, fragrant, sour, and spicy flavor that’s legendary. Pickled cabbage stir-fried with Dongpo pork (locally called vinegar fruit stir-fried large intestine) features crispy, bouncy intestines and pickled cabbage that cuts the richness—a perfect dish with rice. The Hakka bamboo tray dish uses a large bamboo tray to serve 6 to 8 Ganzhou snacks—tofu buns, steamed pine balls, beef jerky, fried fish buns, Dayu rice noodles—all handmade fresh with no pre-made ingredients. Xingguo rice noodle fish (also called “Four Stars Gazing at the Moon”) has tender fish and rice noodles soaked in spicy broth. Xinfeng radish dumplings use sweet potato starch wrappers that are translucent, chewy, and juicy. Also try Nankang lotus leaf pork, Ruijin beef soup, and Ningdu meatballs. Ai rice cakes are seasonal, with a soothing mugwort fragrance. You can eat your fill for just a few dozen yuan! 🏠 Accommodation guide|Options for every budget Want to stay with Song dynasty vibes? Bajing Lake She lakeside vacation homestay is a 5-minute walk to the old city, with unbeatable lake views. Baijialing Wujiao Jiu Yard is in the center of Song city, Bajingtai, and the ancient floating bridge, super convenient for dining and shopping. For an old house experience, try Ganzhou Yangming homestay, a century-old Republic of China arcade-style house. For quality, choose Ganzhou Laird Rui Hotel. On a budget, Shanshui Building is just over 200 yuan per night. Book early—summer rooms are in high demand! 🗺️ Itinerary|Three days, two nights highlights (copy this plan) Day 1: Old city citywalk—dream back to the Song dynasty Standard clock tower → Zao’er Alley (great for photos on the bluestone path) → Jianchun Gate → Donghe ancient floating bridge (over 800 years old, made of 100+ wooden boats connected, gently sways when you walk on it!) → Yongjin Gate → Bajing Terrace (where the Zhang River and Gong River merge to form the Gan River’s “Three Rivers Mouth”) → Former residence of Jiang Jingguo → Yugutai (the origin of Xin Qiji’s “Clear river water beneath Yugutai”) → Four sages archway → Song tide night city. Sunset on the floating bridge is stunning. Day 2: Cave exploration + Hakka culture Ganzhou Museum (quickly build your Hakka culture knowledge) → Wei family mansion (largest Hakka residence in the city, with nine wells and eighteen halls) → Tongtian Rock (“the first cave in Jiangnan,” Danxia rock walls block the sun, naturally cool, with impressive Tang and Song cliff inscriptions). The mountain isn’t high but shaded by trees, perfect for summer visits without sunburn. Day 3: Choose one nearby natural spot Option A: Shangyou Yangming Lake (1 hour from the city, cool breeze over the lake, super relaxing boat rides). Option B: Longnan Guanxi Xinwei (the original model for the divine tower in “Big Fish & Begonia,” breathtaking beyond words). If you have more time, visit Dayu Yashan (over 30,000 acres of bamboo forest, very cool in summer, with waterfalls and streams running through the valley). The old city is best explored on foot or by shared electric bike. High-speed rail arrives at Ganzhou West Station, making it easy to reach from nearby provinces and cities. 📸 Photo spots|Every shot is a masterpiece · Zao’er Alley: Ming and Qing dynasty bluestone path + Hakka courtyard houses + Hui-style architecture. Wear plain colors for the best look · Donghe ancient floating bridge: 800-year-old wooden boat bridge, evening sunset + locals washing clothes and fishing, full of life · Yugutai: climb to the top for a view of the Zhang and Gong rivers merging, great for night shots with ancient vibes · Song dynasty city wall: walk from Jianchun Gate to Yongjin Gate, the best preserved section with thousand-year-old inscribed bricks · Tongtian Rock: Danxia rock caves + cliff inscriptions, beautiful light and shadow through the caves · Shicheng Tongtian Fortress: Danxia cracked landform + over 500 acres of lotus blooming at the foot of the mountain, perfect for photos with red rocks and lotus ponds · Central city park: summer lotus in full bloom, Jiangnan scenery right before your eyes when the wind blows Early morning and evening light is softest. Avoid harsh midday sun! ⚠️ Pitfalls to avoid|Local lessons learned the hard way 1. Yugutai is heavily commercialized. Night views are great for photos, but snacks are pricey. Try a little, don’t buy souvenirs there! 2. Tongtian Rock has many mountain paths and stone steps. Wear comfortable sneakers and bring water. Avoid high heels—it’s exhausting! 3. The city wall is over 3 km long. No need to walk the whole way! The section from Jianchun Gate to Yongjin Gate is the best for photos and saves time and energy. 4. Don’t take unlicensed taxis at Ganzhou West or Ganzhou stations! Public buses cover key spots. Use public transport for cross-district travel. 5. The old city has many stone paths and steep slopes. Wear good walking shoes for citywalks. 6. Don’t buy local specialties in tourist areas (Nanan salted duck, Ganzhou navel oranges, fish cakes are overpriced). Online shopping is cheaper and authentic. Eat fresh at old street shops. 7. Bajing Terrace ticket for climbing isn’t cost-effective. Photos from below the city wall capture the full panorama. 8. Hakka walled villages (Guanxi Xinwei) are remote. Don’t go alone. Combine with other Longnan attractions for a day trip. 9. Don’t just chase trendy shops. The old city’s street-side mom-and-pop eateries have the authentic flavors. 10. Summer has many mosquitoes in the mountains and forests. Bring insect repellent. Avoid midday heat by visiting museums and caves then. Explore outdoors in the evening. --- After three days, I can only say—Ganzhou is seriously underrated! Song dynasty city walls, Hakka walled villages, Danxia landscapes, authentic food—each is worth a special trip. Hurry before summer ends and go now!🌿💨

After exploring thousands of mountains and rivers across Western China, I finally found this hidden paradise—Xinfeng.

Today, let me take you to my favorite stop on this trip: Xinfeng Conlab International Hotel, a four-star hidden gem. 🌟 🏞️ Sleep by the river, dream back to the water towns of Jiangnan 🌊 Open the window to a flowing ink painting scene, with 1.2 kilometers of riverside green corridor and the beautiful Tao River in full view.

Here, you can slow down, feel the breath of nature, and enjoy a moment of tranquility. 🍽️ A breakfast feast, a carnival for your taste buds 🥂 The hotel breakfast was a big surprise on this trip. From a variety of breads and cakes to steaming porridge and soup dumplings, every item was exquisitely delicious. Especially the bowl of fresh fish soup noodles, paired with several small dishes, instantly awakened my taste buds and left a lasting impression. Sitting by the window enjoying this breakfast while watching boats slowly sail on the river, my mood instantly lifted. 🚶‍♂️ A walker’s paradise, where food meets culture 🍜 Around the hotel, Xinfeng’s local night market and food street are just a stone’s throw away. In the evening, take a stroll along the riverside green corridor, enjoying the beautiful night view, and before you know it, you’ve arrived at the lively night market.

🌟 Exploring Xinfeng County? Yaju Hotel is a reliable pick for travelers who want affordability and convenience without fuss. Located at the intersection of Tongyi Road and Yingbin Avenue, it sits close to bustling markets and transit hubs, making it easy to get around and experience local life. 🏨 If you’re looking for a budget-friendly stay, Yaju Hotel is repeatedly praised for its cost-effectiveness—ideal for families and backpackers. The rooms are functional, with basic amenities to cover most short-stay needs, and a few guests mention friendly and attentive staff. However, you might want to check your room and bathroom upon arrival; several reviewers suggest cleanliness is hit-and-miss and recommend asking for maintenance (especially for outdated fixtures or broken items). Still, it’s a practical base for exploring Xinfeng’s rich outdoor cultural landscapes and grabbing some fresh market finds! Don’t miss the daytime photo op at the responsibility notice board for county-level forest chiefs in Fengxian County—an insta-worthy, close-up moment of Chinese local governance and public architecture. The area’s mix of indoor and outdoor landscapes, traditional architecture, and tree-lined views make for great photo backgrounds, especially on sunny or softly cloudy days. 📝 Booking Tips: Secure your stay via trip.com for the best deals and easy check-in—booking ahead can ensure cleaner rooms and possible upgrades.

This time I went to Sin Fung, the point I wanted to share the most was definitely the experience of using esim! These days the schedule has to find the way, and to post, really rely on esim to save all lives. The esim plan used this time is ridiculously cheap, the amount of data is large, in Xinfeng often full, no dead corners, the Internet speed is impeccable, map, brush short video, turn on navigation - from morning to night, without a single drop chain. Be sure to consider esim when going out, save a lot of not having to find a physical card to exchange, even hotel WiFi can be ignored. 🗓️ Itinerary: On the first day at noon, we landed at the Xinfeng Yaju Hotel, located at the intersection of Yingbin Avenue and Tong Yik Road. Stay experience: The room is large enough, hygiene and service attitude is ok, the room is mainly clean and tidy, some facilities are slightly old, can be updated would be better, super high value for money, suitable for a short stay. This time I stayed for two nights, value for money and convenience, many locals and business travelers will recommend.

It is a scenic building that integrates Yangming Heart Learning culture with Hakka architectural features. [Love] Scenic Overview Yangming Pavilion is situated in the Yangming Heart Valley Scenic Area, north of Longnan City, Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, just across a river from the urban area of Longnan. The scenic area centers around the jade-like Xianyan Rock and focuses on Wang Yangming’s deeds of “establishing virtue, achievements, and words” in Longnan, creating an experiential route centered on Yangming culture. The pavilion itself is a uniquely designed three-story ancient-style building that cleverly blends modern elements with traditional Hakka architectural style. [Love] Key Highlights 1. Jade-like Xianyan Rock and Yuxu Cave (Yangming Cave) · Feature: This is the core natural attraction of the scenic area. The Xianyan Rock is as white and pure as jade, with many caves in the mountain. The Yuxu Cave (also called Yangming Cave) halfway up the mountain is a must-visit. Although the cave entrance is small (about 1.8 meters high and 2 meters wide), the inside holds a world of wonders. · What to See: · Inscriptions: There are 44 stone inscriptions on the cliff walls inside the cave, dating from the Northern Song to the Republic of China period. The most famous is the "Pingmian Tou Stele" personally written by Wang Yangming (“Among the bandits of four provinces, only Mian is cunning”). · Stalactites: Various shapes of stalactites can be seen throughout the cave, one of the “three treasures” of Xianyan Rock. · Legend: There is a pool inside the cave, rumored to connect to an underground river that leads directly to the Taojiang River dozens of kilometers away. 2. Yangming Pavilion · Status: The iconic building of the scenic area, built to commemorate Wang Yangming, with a total height of 23.288 meters. · Architectural Highlights: A three-story structure with corridors. The first floor displays poems and writings praising Xianyan Rock; the second floor showcases poems honoring Wang Yangming; the third floor features plaques on all four sides inscribed with “Yangming Pavilion,” “Longxing Lingnan,” “Mountain Water Dragon City,” and “Capital of Weiwus.” Each floor’s carved doors, windows, and decorations are exquisitely detailed. · Couplets: On the beams and pillars of the first floor’s entrance are couplets such as “Wudang stands majestic, my path is not lonely, here once left calligraphy; Taojiang flows long, the model remains, compatriots share the same fragrant heart,” worth savoring. 3. Climb High and Look Far · Experience: Climbing to the top floor of Yangming Pavilion offers the best vantage point to view the panorama of Longnan. · View: To the south, you can see Longnan city; to the west, the winding Taojiang River with its nine bends and eighteen turns; to the east, wind turbines on Jinpen Mountain; to the north, the Longtou Tower echoes in the distance, overlooking the pastoral scenes of Yangfang. 4. Along the Way · Yangming Xiaodongtian: An ancient-style building at the foot of the mountain, with door couplets reading “Yangming Cave Heaven nurtures our nature, nourishing us for a hundred generations; Jade-like Xianyan Rock with clouds and breeze pervades this land eternally.” · Wang Yangming Statue: At the north entrance of Yuxu Cave stands a statue of Wang Yangming holding a scroll in his left hand and a brush in his right, as if lecturing. · Zhengxin Pavilion: A pavilion halfway up the mountain where visitors can rest and enjoy the beautiful view of Taojiang River. [Love] Recommended Tour Route (Half-Day Tour) 1. Entrance: Enter through the scenic area gate, passing by the ancient-style Yangming Xiaodongtian building. 2.

Descend: Descend via the steps on the other side to conclude the trip. [Love] Practical Information · Location: Northern suburb of Longnan City, Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, within Yangming Heart Valley Scenic Area. · Transportation Tips: The scenic area is just across a river from Longnan city, with relatively convenient transportation, suitable for self-driving or taxi. · Best Time to Visit: Suitable year-round. Sunny days offer better visibility and are ideal for climbing and sightseeing; after rain, you might encounter misty, fairy-like scenes at Xianyan Rock. [Love] Nearby Attractions Longnan is known as the “Capital of Weiwus.” After visiting Yangming Pavilion, if time permits, you can also explore nearby Hakka Weiwus such as Guanxi Xinwei and Yanyi Wei to experience Longnan’s rich cultural heritage.

Hidden within the Danxia landforms on the outskirts of the city lies half the history of Jiangnan's grottoes. Instead of rushing, wander along the mountain paths and gently embrace the passage of time. Upon entering the mountains, you're enveloped by red rocks and green trees, the wind blowing through the caves bringing a refreshing coolness. At Wanggui Rock, a massive boulder stands precariously, its walls faintly inscribed with Wang Yangming's calligraphy. Touching the rough stone surface, you can almost feel the warmth of the ink from five hundred years ago. Sitting quietly for a moment, you understand the meaning of tranquility. The stone carvings at Longhu Rock possess an ancient charm. The Song Dynasty reliefs appear even more vibrant under the light and shadow. Circling to the right path, the rock patterns shift with the light, creating the illusion of gently moving dragon scales. The Buddhist niches in the cliff face, weathered for millennia, lack any gilded embellishment, only the serene power of the rock itself remaining. Upon reaching the Wangjiang Pavilion at the summit, the view opens up dramatically, with the Danxia peaks stretching endlessly, the air filled with the fragrance of grass and trees. No need to gaze into the distance; simply rest in the breeze, letting the mountain scenery and sunlight slowly unfold before your eyes. This moment of relaxation is most precious. Cuiwei Rock hides traces of hermits' past, with cliff inscriptions and niches scattered among the intertwined vegetation, exuding tranquility. Wandering along the paths, you might stumble upon an ancient pavilion nestled against the mountainside. Sit down and listen to the babbling brook; the weariness of your journey will be soothed. Here, there are no bustling crowds, only red rocks reflecting greenery and ancient carvings. As the setting sun paints the grottoes in warm hues, the entire valley is filled only with the sound of the wind and your own breath. This unique tranquility of Tongtian Rock is enough to heal all worries. Route: 1. Guanxin Rock → 2. Wanggui Rock → 3. Wangjiang Pavilion → 4. Longhu Rock → 5. Cuiwei Rock → 6. Cimu Guanlan → 7.

This pavilion is now Xinfeng Pavilion. When you come to Xinfeng, you can see Xinfeng Pavilion from a distance. It is magnificent and spectacular, like a mirage, it seems to float in the sky. Navigate to the Gushan Scenic Area parking lot, show your ID card, locals can enter for free, and non-locals need to pay CNY 25. You can take a sightseeing bus for CNY 6 and go up along the Gushan Mountains. When you reach the top of the mountain, you will see the "Ren Xin Wu Feng" Pavilion towering into the clouds. The red pillars and gray tiles complement each other, and the flying eaves and brackets are full of ancient charm. Walking around the pavilion, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Xinfeng County, with a wide and shocking view. Going up, there is another pavilion called "Rao Gu Duo Li", which echoes "Ren Xin Wu Feng". The two pavilions are Xinfeng Pavilion. The undulating mountains, well-arranged buildings, and magnificent pavilions make Xinfeng a lively city. 🌍Address: Xinfeng Pavilion, Xinfeng County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province 🚗Transportation: Drive to the Gushan Scenic Area parking lot (free) 🎫Tickets: Free for locals/CNY 25 for non-locals

🚄 On the Beijing-Hong Kong High-Speed Railway, there is a hidden gem of a county surrounded by the fragrance of navel oranges—Xinfeng County. It is not only a warm home for the Hakka people but also a meeting point of history and culture! 🍊 🏯 When it comes to Xinfeng, how can we not mention the Dasheng Temple Pagoda, which has withstood the test of time for thousands of years? Standing in the county seat, it is not only an architectural treasure of the Northern Song Dynasty but also a crystallization of Buddhist culture, Hakka customs, and folk wisdom! 🧘‍♀️ 🌉 Not far from the county seat, the Yudai Bridge spans the flowing water like a green silk ribbon. It is the longest existing arched covered bridge in Jiangnan, connecting the ancient roads of Jiangxi and Guangdong. Every step is a step on the pulse of history. 👣 🏠 But today, we are going to explore the Weigaowei, a Qing Dynasty residential building in Longzhou Village, which is like a living historical painting! 🏡 🏛️ The main gate of Weigaowei, with its hard mountain top, horse head wall, and gray sculpture of the fence wall, reveals the unique charm of Hakka architecture in every detail. The suspended mountain top of the residential building is even more eye-catching. They are built in three tiers according to the terrain, with a staggered layout, as if telling the story of past prosperity and tranquility. 🌄 📸 Here, every step is a landscape, and every scene is a story. Come to Xinfeng and let us walk into Weigaowei together to feel the shock and emotion of traveling through time and space! 📸✨ 📍 Address: 50 km south of Xinfeng County to Hushan Township (6 km from Yudai Bridge to Weigaowei)
