Soaking in the hot spring while stargazing at night is the ultimate enjoyment for introverts. 2️⃣ Mountain retreat lovers → Choose the mountaintop of Mingyue Mountain or Yangshan in Fengxin. Open your window to sea of clouds and bamboo forests, truly isolated from the world. 3️⃣ Best value seekers → Go to mountaintop guesthouses at Wugong Mountain (Yichun section). For just around 100 yuan per person, you can stay in alpine meadows with stunning views, watching sunrises and stars. 📜【Itinerary: Quietness is the theme】 Day 1: Ancient Village • Zen Mood • Warm Springs Morning: Head straight to Nanre Ancient Village. There are only two 1,500-year-old ginkgo trees, a small creek, and a few households here. It’s so quiet you can hear the sound of falling leaves. The golden ground looks like a painting no matter how you shoot it. Afternoon: Visit Yangshan Qiyin Zen Temple on the way. This Tang Dynasty ancient temple has few worshippers but is full of zen spirit, perfect for sitting quietly and daydreaming. Evening: Check in to Wentang Town and start your hot spring spa. It’s said selenium is good for the body, and your skin feels smooth after soaking. Day 2: Cloudscape • Hiking • Mindfulness Morning: Take the cable car up Mingyue Mountain and focus on the 1,700-meter-high Qingyun Plank Road. The clouds flow right beside you, like walking in the sky. At the end of the plank road is the emerald Moon Lake, breathtakingly beautiful. Afternoon (optional): If you love hiking, go to Wugong Mountain Fayu Boundary (Yichun side). The autumn meadows here are golden, and there are very few tourists, so vast it feels like the world is just you and the wind. ✨【Why is this a paradise for introverts?】 ✅ True “calmness”: The whole city’s temperament is unhurried, with mountains, water, and ancient villages all naturally filtered by a slow pace. ✅ Many “effective solitude” spots: Daydream under thousand-year-old ginkgo trees, overlook mountains and rivers from the cloud plank road, meditate in hot springs... every moment recharges you. 📌【Travel Tips】 Best autumn viewing period in 2025: November to late December, when ginkgo trees are fully golden and autumn colors are richest, perfect for high-end photos. There is a big temperature difference on the mountain, so be sure to dress warmly and bring a windproof jacket/down coat and comfortable walking shoes. For Mingyue Mountain, it’s recommended to buy a “ticket + round-trip cable car” combo for convenience and savings. This autumn, no need to travel far to find a corner where your body and mind can be completely at peace.
