Jiangxi's landscape is unparalleled, Xu Xiake did not deceive me

Facing the blue sea in the morning and the green Wuzhou in the evening, Xu Xiake did not deceive me. This is Jiangxi's Little Guilin, truly a place visited by the first generation of tourists in the Celestial Empire. It's niche but a treasure, a masterpiece of nature's craftsmanship! It features unique Danxia landforms, with endless Zen and beauty between the mountains and waters. Transportation Guide 🚌 🚅 Take the high-speed train to Yiyang Station.
