Compared to Quanzhou, I love this small town recommended by National Geographic more
I never thought that a three-day trip would be so reluctant to leave
🚄High-speed rail: Wuyi Mountain North/Nanping City
🏠Accommodation: Sangu Street, most of the food is a few hundred meters away
🚶🏼Travel route:
𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟏:
Sunrise over the sea of clouds at Baiyun Zen Temple→Eat vegetarian food→Moss trail→Bamboo rafting→Zhizhi Temple→Fish watching place→Song Street→Qingshanjun
𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟐:
Wake up naturally→B&B teahouse→Xiamei Village-visit porcelain shop→Sangu Night Market→T bar
𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟑:
Specialties→Tongmu Village→Moon Bay→Wild Monkey Valley→Ancient Tea Horse Road→Return
✅Tips for playing:
·If you only want to play for 2 days, you can play in reverse order after Day3pass, because it is almost the same to arrive in Xiamei Village in the afternoon, or switch to Qingshanjun in Xiamei Village. Qingshanjun is not near the scenic spot, so it is more convenient for the return day
·Sunrise over the sea of clouds at Baiyun Temple needs to be good weather and is not available every day
·Qingshanjun is 1 hour away from the city but very pleasant!
·The porcelain shops here are really better than those in Jingdezhen and are more affordable! I bought a bunch of 100r (there is a clip at the end of the previous vlog)
·It is off-season recently, not many people, and it is okay on rainy days. It feels like a fairyland and is also very good to take pictures!
