Upon arriving in Shangrao, check into your accommodation and take some time to settle in. In the afternoon, head to Wangxiangu Scenic Area, a magnificent cliff town nestled deep in mountain canyons. Walk along winding paths to admire spectacular cliff dwellings built against steep rock faces, overlook cascading waterfalls and dense valley forests, and fully immerse yourself in the ethereal fairyland atmosphere. As night falls, thousands of warm lights illuminate the entire cliff town, creating a dreamlike scene straight out of traditional Chinese fairy tales. Stay in a characteristic homestay inside or near the scenic area to experience the quiet and romantic night ambiance of the mountain valley.

Tips: The canyon temperature is slightly lower than in the city, so bring a light jacket. The night view is the most spectacular, so plan your visit properly.
