Zhuqiao Ancient Village
Zhuqiao Ancient Village is a famous historical and cultural village in China. It is the birthplace and main printing place of "Jinxi Book". There are 2 woodblock printing workshops preserved in the village, and there are many ancient woodblocks. The complete woodblocks of "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Four Books Annotation" are preserved, which can still be directly printed and bound in thread-bound ancient books, which are very valuable. There are 109 ancient buildings in the village, including ancestral halls, academies, woodblock printing workshops, study rooms and houses of officials who returned to their hometowns. There are 5 ancestral halls, 4 gatehouses, 3 ancient wells, 2 ancient woodblock printing workshops, and 1 "Heaven and Man" road in the village, which is rare in China and implies the concept of "harmony between man and nature" and "people-oriented"; there are 7 ponds, and the middle pond is in the shape of a moon, forming the image of "seven stars accompanying the moon", reflecting the unique pond culture of Zhuqiao. In Zhuqiao, you can experience a journey across time and space. Villagers dressed in ancient costumes recreate scenes of pastoral songs, the return of the top scholar, big bowl tea, woodblock printing, etc. in the ancient alleys and buildings during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Walking in the stone alleys of the ancient village, you can see villagers drinking tea and listening to opera, drinking and playing chess, or hawking goods along the street. There are also tea bars, book bars, blacksmith shops, shops, tofu shops, etc. full of ancient charm.Jinxi · 8km from downtown
Mount Longhu
Mount Longhu Scenic Area is located on the outskirts of Yingtan City and is the birthplace of Taoism. Its founder Zhang Daoling once cultivated and attained enlightenment here. The appearance of Mount Longhu Scenic Area is similar to Wuyishan, both featuring typical Danxia landforms and a World Natural Heritage site. Riding a bamboo raft on the Luxi River to enjoy the mountain views on both banks is fantastic, and the cliff tombs of the ancient Yue people hanging coffins and coffin climbing performances are also very eye-catching highlights. The main attractions are distributed along both banks of the Luxi River from north to south, in order Elephant Trunk Mountain - Xianshui Rock - Mosquito Village - Mount Longhu - Zhengyi Temple - Shangqing Ancient Town (Shangqing Palace). If you want to stay tight, you can visit the main attractions in one day, or split it into two days for a detailed tour. The scenic area operates on a flat ticket system (each attraction can be visited once). Usually, you buy a full ticket, which includes sightseeing bus and rafting (or boat) fees, which is quite cost-effective. The sightseeing bus stops at a wave and can be used multiple times. If you need to stay here, accommodations are available in Yingtan city as well as near the tourist center, Xianshuiyan, Shangqing Ancient Town, and Jiuquzhou, but usually the base is near the visitor center. When visiting Mount Longhu Scenic Area, you can travel by sightseeing bus, walking, or rafting. For a day of sightseeing at the main attractions, you can take a sightseeing bus from the visitor center to Mount Longhu - Zhengyi Temple, then transfer to the farthest Shangqing Ancient Town (about 10 kilometers), and from there, travel backward to the starting point. Most houses in the ancient town are newly built. You can first visit Changqing Ward, then stroll along Shangqing Ancient Street. The town's highlights include the Celestial Master's Mansion and Shangqing Palace. The Celestial Master's Mansion is the ancestral home of the Zhengyi Sect, and most of the existing wooden buildings are antiques from the Qing Dynasty. Shangqing Palace is still a few kilometers away, with fewer tourists. If you don't want to wait for sightseeing buses, you can take a taxi ride there. Have lunch in the ancient town, then take a bus back to Mount Longhu - Zhengyi Temple. The temple here is slightly smaller than the Celestial Master's Mansion and was rebuilt in recent decades, so it's relatively new. It's worth a quick look. From Mount Longhu to Zhengyi View, walk another 5 minutes to the starting point of the rafting, and from here to the finish point at Xianshuiyan, the whole journey takes about 50 minutes. Along the way, you can enjoy mountain views on both banks. The boatmen will tell you legends about the Supreme Lord Laozi and the Queen Mother of the West, but this will cost extra. The famous "Ten Must-Haves" Danxia Stone Scenery can be seen in about three places in this section. The cliff tombs and hanging coffins at Xianshuiyan are full of mystery. The scenic area regularly stages a "coffin lifting" performance every day (10:00-16:00, every 2 hours for reference), demonstrating the process of securing coffins into caves on the cliff. Visitors watch from the Peach Blossom Islet shore, the final stop of Xianshuiyan on Mount Longhu, while the performance takes place on the opposite cliff, making it quite thrilling. Because "lifting the coffin" sounds like "promotion," some people come here to seek good luck. Bamboo rafts are parked on the water, and about 10 minutes before the coffin-raising performance, there is a "cormorant fishing" show showcasing the fishing and hunting lifestyle of the ancient Yue people. After watching the performance, take the free ferry to the opposite bank, then follow the signs to Fairy Rock. This rock, known as the "Mother Earth," is a famous spot in the Mount Longhu Scenic Area, vivid and lifelike. Not far from the Xianshui Rock terminal at Mount Longhu—Peach Blossom Islet—is the south gate of Elephant Trunk Hill. Halfway up the mountain, there is a smooth boardwalk where you can admire the mountain's silhouette from different angles as you walk. This Elephant Trunk Hill is much more rugged than the one in Guilin, with a straight trunk that looks very lifelike. It takes about one hour to walk along the boardwalk to the East Gate. The last attraction is the mosquito-free village, which can be reached by sightseeing bus. The scenery of Wuwen Village itself is average; most people come here to fill their stomachs. The village has two famous dishes: Celestial Master Tofu and Celestial Master Bagua Banquet, both vegetarian. It can be used for dinner. If you arrive at Mount Longhu Scenic Area in the afternoon, it's recommended to first visit Shangqing Ancient Town, then go to Mount Longhu - Zhengyi early the next morning to enjoy the rafting (there's almost no need to queue at this time), then go ashore to visit Elephant Trunk Hill to watch the coffin-raising performance and Fairy Rock. Afterwards, walk along the Luxi River to Wuwen Village for lunch. Nearby attractions like the Ancient Yue Folk Village are also worth seeing, allowing you to slowly enjoy the scenery of Mount Longhu Scenic Area.Guixi · 29.4km from Jinxi

The village currently features 38 ancient houses, most of which date back to the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty. A distinctive feature is the archway erected at the entrance of every alleyway, which records the lifelong achievements and official titles of the ancestor Hu Guifang (a jinshi scholar and renowned official during the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty, and an in-law of the playwright Tang Xianzu). These archways serve to highlight the glory of the Hu family and inspire future generations to take their ancestor as a role model, strive for success, and serve the country. The village was included in the fourth batch of Traditional Chinese Villages in 2016 and selected as one of the seventh batch of Famous Historical and Cultural Villages of China in 2019.Jinxi · 5.9km from downtown

Mount Huangshan Scenic Area
Mount Huangshan is famous for its long history. "You would not want to visit mountains after visiting the Five Sacred Mountains, and you would not want to visit the Five Sacred Mountains after visiting Huangshan."

Dramatic Pines, grotesque rocks, sea of clouds, and hot springs are known as the “Four Musts” of Huangshan. They are the uncanny workmanship of nature and cannot be missed.

Wuyuan Huangling Scenic Area
Huangling Ancient Village is a typical mountain village, Souvenir by thousands of ancient trees and tens of thousands of acres of terraced fields, creating a idyllic mountain life like a paradise. It has a beautiful natural environment and rich history and culture. It is a famous historical and cultural village in ancient Huizhou. The ancient village of Huangling hangs on the cliff, and the ground is not flat for three feet. For hundreds of years, the villagers have been accustomed to "communicating" with the rugged terrain with a peaceful mentality, painting a picture of "people drying their crops in the sun in autumn". In March, rapeflowers are in full bloom on tens of thousands of acres of terraced fields in Huangling, dotted with pink peach blossoms and snow-white pear blossoms, forming a beautiful ink painting. Here, you can become one with nature and have close contact with the sea of flowers. At the end of March, the second phase of Huangrapeling Gaoling Terraced Fields Flower Sea came online. Due to the large altitude difference, low temperature, and late-maturing rapeseed varieties, the flowering period is relatively late, and the second phase of the flower sea can last until mid-April. Come to Huangling in summer and start a wonderful summer night trip. Take a look at the night view of the ancient village, feel the sunset glow of Huangling, the lights of thousands of houses, walk on the country road with the dancing and circling 100-meter-long dragon, stroll in the quaint streets with a lantern, feel the romance of the magic forest, watch a retro old movie at the entrance of the village, and visit the cool market in the countryside. As soon as the beginning of autumn arrives, the ancient village of Huangling becomes a drying field. Come to the people who dry autumn leaves to admire the red maple leaves, enjoy the autumn leaves drying on the roof, the maple forest is dyed red, experience the folk customs, hand-cranked windmills, pumpkin traps, etc., and feel the nostalgic charm of the people who dry autumn leaves. In winter, every household in Huangling is busy drying and processing traditional local specialties for New Year's goods. The roofs are full of preserved meat customs, "drying" folk customs and "celebrating" the harvest, which means a bumper harvest in the New Year. With the arrival of the Winter Solstice, the Huangling Folk Culture Festival begins and lasts until the Lantern Festival next year. Here, you can listen to operas, visit the market, taste food, and taste the folk customs of the New Year; bask in the warm sun, cook tea around the stove, enjoy the elegant winter things, invite family and friends to take a health-preserving warm soup, and enjoy a winter-limited snow scene. In Huangling, you can enjoy the beautiful rural scenery and experience the modern urban life. You can see the exquisite and simple Huizhou century-old houses as well as the fashion and elegance of star-rated hotels. In Huangling, tourists can not only taste authentic folk snacks such as steamed cakes, Qingming fruit, gray juice fruit, etc., but also participate in the whole process of making folk snacks and handicrafts.China · Wuyuan
Shangqing Ancient Town
Shangqing Ancient Town is a millennium-old town famous for its Taoist culture and Gan-style old houses. It is built along the Luxi River, and the old street running through the town is paved almost entirely with cobblestones from the river, polished smooth and shiny by footsteps over the years, with some even arranged into Tai Chi patterns, a highly recognizable detail of this place. Between the Gan-style residences with blue bricks and dark tiles on both sides of the old street, the Changqing Ancestral Hall, Liuhou Ancestral Temple, Tianshi Mansion, Liuhou Mansion, Tianyuande Pharmacy, and the Catholic Church are lined up in sequence. On the riverside, rows of stilt houses and boat piers line the Luxi River, still retaining the atmosphere of a former water transport hub. Guizhou Village on the opposite bank is the hometown of Xia Yan, an important official of the Ming Dynasty, and to the east of the town are Taoist temples such as the Shangqing Palace and Dongyue Palace. The architecture here is closely connected with the streets, alleys, and the river, creating a strong atmosphere of a historic town.Guixi · 31.1km from Jinxi

The scenery is beautiful and it is a representative of Gan-style architecture. Entering the bamboo bridge is like traveling back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The ponds, houses, ancestral halls and stone roads here are like scrolls of paintings. Wherever you go, you walk into that scroll. People are in the paintings, and history flows in their minds. The artistic conception is perfect.

"The Ancestral Home of Taoism"—this is the epitome of Longhu Mountain's prestige! The Zhengyi Temple, Tianshi Mansion, and Taishangqing Palace within the scenic area are all revered sites of Taoism. Longhu Mountain is also one of the 72 blessed lands of Taoism. A bamboo raft trip down the Shunlu River offers stunning views and the opportunity to see hanging coffins.

Full of Dutch flavor. You can feel the strong Dutch style without traveling far to Europe. The unique creative exhibition also has rice of various colors. Not many people. It is relatively deserted. It is suitable for budget travel or those who like quiet play.

It's about half an hour from downtown Fuzhou, very convenient.
Located near Linggu Peak, the area has beautiful greenery.
There are many small animals there, such as pigs, yaks, and tuna.
There are also animal shows and opportunities to feed the animals.
There's also a water park (you need to bring a swimsuit to swim).
It's usually not crowded, making it suitable for a short trip.

### 龙虎山天师府点评：道教祖庭的千年传承与现代旅游体验 龙虎山天师府，位于江西省鹰潭市上清镇，是道教正一派的祖庭，自东汉张道陵创立道教以来，已传承六十余代，素有“北孔南张”之称，与曲阜孔府齐名。作为中国道教文化的重要象征，天师府不仅承载着深厚的宗教历史，也是游客探寻道教精髓的必访之地。然而，其旅游体验却因商业化、管理问题而褒贬不一。 #### **历史与文化价值** 天师府始建于明代，现存建筑多为清代重建，规模宏大，布局严谨，融合了王府式建筑风格与道教正一派“天人合一”的理念。府内主要建筑包括府门、大堂、后堂、私第、授箓院等，其中授箓院是道教重要的科仪场所，游客可在此观摩财神开光等仪式。府内还保留有元代铜钟、灵泉井等珍贵文物，灵泉井相传为南宋道士白玉蟾所凿，井水甘冽，曾用于炼丹。 天师府不仅是宗教圣地，也是道教文化的活态博物馆。历代天师在此演法、授箓，影响深远。鲁迅曾言：“中国的根底全在道教”，而天师府正是这一文化的核心载体。 #### **旅游体验亮点** 1. **道教仪式与民俗活动**：天师府内不定期举行祈福法事，游客可参与其中，感受道教仪轨的庄严氛围。此外，上清古镇的民俗表演（如《寻梦龙虎山》实景剧）也融入了道教神话，灯光效果震撼，值得一看。 2. **自然与人文融合**：天师府依山傍水，古木参天，环境清幽，漫步其中可体会“羽衣常带烟霞色”的仙家意境。 3. **悬棺之谜与升棺表演**：虽然悬棺表演不在天师府内，但作为龙虎山的重要配套景点，其惊险的升棺仪式（每日4场）展现了古越人的丧葬智慧，成为游客必看项目。 #### **争议与不足** 1. **商业化与“功德”乱象**：部分游客反映，天师府内存在道士诱导捐功德、算命收费等问题，如有人被强收200-300元“算卦费”，影响游览体验。 2. **管理疏漏**：景区交通调度混乱，有游客抱怨等待观光车时间过长，工作人员态度敷衍。 3. **建筑修复争议**：天师府多数建筑为现代复建，虽尽力还原历史风貌，但仍被部分游客批评“缺乏古意”，尤其是正一观等景点被认为“新修无特色”。 #### **游览建议** - **最佳时间**：避开冬季（景色单调）和旅游高峰期，选择春秋季游览，以避开人流。 - **行程安排**：建议将天师府与龙虎山主景区（

Huangshan Mountain boasts beautiful scenery, and taking the cable car up and down is not tiring. The difference between viewing the West Sea Grand Canyon from above and walking down is significant. Those with limited physical fitness don't need to go all the way down; just walking a few steps is sufficient.

It's worth a visit. Although it's a small, undeveloped scenic area, the natural scenery is still beautiful and perfect for taking photos. The lights are quite lovely at night. The area is large, and going up and down the mountain requires some physical exertion.

Huangling's autumn sun-drying scene lives up to its name. The ancient Hui-style village with white walls and black tiles is built against the mountain. Red peppers and yellow corn are spread all over the drying racks, creating a strong atmosphere. The cable car is very convenient to take you up the mountain. Every shot you take is a masterpiece. It is definitely worth checking out.

**春日寻道韵——上清古镇漫游指南** 春日的上清古镇，宛如一幅晕染着青绿与烟雨的山水画卷。这座依偎于龙虎山脚下的千年小镇，以道教文化为魂，以泸溪碧水为脉，在桃李纷飞中诉说着“道法自然”的悠然。若想避开人潮，感受最地道的春意，不妨参考以下攻略。### **晨光·访古问道** **天师府探秘**（建议8:00-10:00） 古镇的核心当属“南国第一家”天师府。春日清晨薄雾未散时踏入朱红大门，古樟新叶滴翠，殿宇飞檐与晨光共舞。若恰逢道士早课，可静观他们手持朝笏、脚踏北斗七星步的仪式，檐角铜铃随风轻响，恍若穿越千年。府内“狐仙堂”前的百年紫藤正值花期，垂落如瀑，是古风摄影绝佳取景地。**长庆坊寻迹** 天师府西侧的长庆坊保留着明代道官宅邸的风貌，青砖黛瓦间藏着“留侯家庙”石匾。巷口老茶铺一壶清明前的龙虎山云雾茶，配着艾草青团，可细品春日的清润。### **午时·烟火滋味** **道家养生宴** 古镇老街的“道膳堂”必尝“八卦豆腐宴”：太极羹以黑豆、黄豆勾出阴阳纹，天师板栗鸡用柴火煨出山野香，辅以枸杞叶清炒、葛根粉凉糕，暗合道家“不时不食”的智慧。街边小摊的泸溪河小鱼干酥脆鲜辣，配糯米酒酿堪称一绝。### **午后·山水入画** **竹筏漫游泸溪**（14:00-16:00） 午后暖阳中，乘竹筏顺泸溪河而下（票价约100元/人）。艄公的竹篙点破碧水，两岸桃红李白倒映如碎玉，白鹭掠过新绿的崖壁。途经“仙水岩”时仰望悬棺遗迹，崖顶野杜鹃灼灼盛开，与赭色岩壁碰撞出惊心动魄的美。**古镇街巷拾趣** 下筏后漫步千米长的上清老街，明清吊脚楼下，手艺人正用古法制作“天师符”木雕；老供销社改造的茶馆里，竹编灯笼摇曳，可体验道教拓印技艺，将“紫气东来”拓片作春日伴手礼。### **暮色·枕梦仙缘** **宿百年道院民宿** 推荐入住改造自清代道观的“嗣汉天师别院”。暮色中推窗可见泸溪河渔火，庭院石阶覆着苍苔，雨后可闻檐角“道教五音”铜铃的清鸣。若逢农历初一，还能随民宿主人参与河畔放莲花灯的祈福仪式。**夜游玉清宫** 月色初上时，步行10分钟至玉清宫。大殿飞檐在夜色中勾出剪影，偶有道士吹奏洞箫，空灵乐声混着春夜虫鸣，恰合了“大音希声”的玄妙。### **出行贴士** - 交通：高铁至鹰潭北站，转乘龙虎山旅游
