How to plan a trip to Wuyuan, Jiangxi?

I have a good friend from Jiangxi who took me to Wuyuan. Although two years have passed now, the memory left to me is still very profound, and the simple guide I made before is still there. In my little notebook, today I will reorganize a guide for your reference based on my actual playing experience.

The scenic spots in Wuyuan are relatively scattered and are mainly divided into three lines:

1. East line: Likeng-Wangkou-Jiangwan-Xiaoqi-Jianling (1-2 days)

2. Northern route: Sixi Yancun-Rainbow Bridge-Wolong Valley-Yantian-Lingyan Cave-Shicheng (1-2 days)

3. Western route: Wengong Mountain (Half-day)

The best attractions are on the east line. If you plan to visit all the attractions, it is recommended to buy a 12-attraction 5-day pass for 180 yuan/person.
