2026 Wuning Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

When Lushan is covered in ice and snow in winter, the Lushan West Sea at the foot of the mountain reveals a different kind of vibrant beauty. On the vast misty lake surface, thousands of islands are scattered like emerald jewels. We sail among them by boat and stay in treehouses built on the islands, spending a winter that is both secluded from the world and full of wild charm. 🚢 The Right Way to Enjoy West Sea Boat Tours Route Selection: The main routes connect several key islands. It is recommended to choose routes that include the "Fishing Village Islands," "Sangtian Island," and "Canghai Island," among other highlights. The journey itself is like admiring a moving landscape painting. Island Exploration: Each island has a different theme. Fishing Village Islands: Experience traditional fishing village culture and giant net fishing performances. Sangtian Island: Focused on farming culture, perfect for children to learn about crops. West Sea Star: Climb the tall glass observation tower for a 360-degree panoramic view of the stunning Thousand Island Lake—this is the iconic viewpoint of West Sea. Best Time: Winter has fewer tourists, often allowing you to "charter" an entire boat. Choose a sunny afternoon departure for soft light and a mirror-like lake surface. 🏡 Unique Island Accommodation Experience This is the part you must not miss when visiting Lushan West Sea! Several hotels are located on independent islands, requiring a boat ride to reach, offering excellent privacy. Lushan West Sea Siwuxie Homestay: Located on a private island, with only a few overwater bungalows and treehouses. Designed entirely of glass, it feels like floating on the lake, with zero distance to the mountains and water. Reservations must be made well in advance. Lushan West Sea Resort: Located on the main island, offering various room types including charming forest treehouse clusters. Well-equipped with hot springs, swimming pools, and rich family activities. Zhelin Lake Hotel: A long-established hotel conveniently located near the dock, offering great value and serving as a good base for sightseeing. 🎣 Winter Water Leisure Activities Lakeside Fishing: Enjoy quiet fishing time in designated areas. Cycling/Hiking Around the Lake: Beautiful green trails have been built around West Sea. Rent a bike or take a walk to enjoy the lake and mountain scenery—very relaxing. Hot Spring Therapy: Choose a hotel with hot springs and soak in the warm water on cold winter days while gazing at the lake—an ultimate pleasure. 🗓️ Two-Day One-Night Lakeside Living Proposal Day 1: Arrive at the scenic area dock in the morning, take a boat tour of the core islands, and in the afternoon climb the "West Sea Star" observation tower. In the evening, check into a unique island hotel and enjoy a fresh lake seafood dinner at the hotel restaurant. Day 2: Enjoy a leisurely morning at the hotel, participate in hotel-organized activities (such as crafts or cycling), or relax on the room balcony or public areas reading, daydreaming, or watching the lake. Depart by boat in the afternoon. 🐟 Taste Memories: West Sea Freshwater Seafood West Sea Organic Bighead Carp: A must-try! Raised in West Sea lake water, the fish is tender and free of muddy taste. Fish head soup or chopped chili fish head are both exquisite. Stick Fish: A small fish that never grows large, deep-fried until crispy and delicious, bones included. White Sauce Bighead Carp: A local specialty, fresh, spicy, and appetizing. 🚗 Transportation Tips: Drive and navigate to "Lushan West Sea Scenic Area" or "Zhelin Lake Scenic Area." The scenic area has large parking lots. If taking high-speed rail, get off at "Yongxiu Station" or "Dean Station," then take a taxi for about 40-60 minutes. The key is to know which dock your booked hotel uses for boarding the boat and contact the hotel in advance to confirm transportation details.

While most tourists shuttle between the main islands by cruise, we chose a deeper, quieter way to explore Lushan West Sea: renting a small boat to visit unnamed islets; stepping into lakeside villages to learn an ancient craft. This is the true way to immerse yourself in this landscape painting. 🏝️ Niche Experience: Customized Private “Island Hopping” Tour How to do it: Rent a small motorboat with a canopy through local fishermen or homestay owners, led by a boatman for a half-day or full-day private tour. What you can do: Land on uninhabited islets: Choose a lush green islet to dock and embark on a small “deserted island adventure,” collecting uniquely shaped stones and pine cones. Birdwatching on the water: Winter is a great season for birdwatching. West Sea is a habitat for migratory birds. Quietly approach by boat to observe cormorants, egrets, and other water birds. Don’t forget your binoculars. Find the best photography spots: Let the boatman take you to his favorite angles for shooting islands and distant mountains, often off the mainstream routes. ✂️ Lakeside Intangible Heritage: A Quiet Handicraft Class Leave the water and delve into traditional villages along the lakeshore. Find bamboo weaving artisans: The West Sea area is rich in bamboo forests, and bamboo weaving skills have been passed down to this day. Find a master craftsman and have your child learn to weave a simple bamboo basket or a small insect, feeling the flexibility and warmth of bamboo strips. Experience Doucan making: Duchang Doucan is a local intangible cultural heritage delicacy. At the workshop, you can see how soybeans go through multiple processes to become golden Doucan, and even try your hand at pulling the bean strips—very fun. 🚴 Cycle along the most beautiful water highway Lushan West Sea has a famous “water highway” (a section of Yongwu Expressway), and next to it runs a parallel scenic road around the lake. Cycling experience: Rent a bike and ride on this low-traffic, quiet road. On one side is the sparkling vast lake, on the other, green mountains, feeling like traveling through a painting. Choose a gentle section, perfect and safe for family rides. 🏠 Accommodation choices to immerse in lakeside life: To experience the above activities, it’s recommended to stay in lakeside villages rather than the core scenic islands. Lushan West Sea Yunju Hotel: Located on the hillside by the lake with wide views and modern design, a good choice connecting nature and comfort. Lakeside farmhouses cluster: In places like Jinkou Township and Nan’an by the lake, many farmhouses offer food and lodging. Staying here, you can hear the real sound of lake waves at night and see fishermen setting out in the morning. Examples include “Wanghu Tower” and “Fisherman’s Courtyard.” Hot spring town hotels: Choose hotels in the Lushan West Sea Hot Spring Resort to combine hot spring bathing with lake views. 🍂 My slow-paced three-day plan Day 1: Arrive and check into a lakeside homestay. In the afternoon, stroll and fish by the lake near the homestay, adapt to the environment, and enjoy the sunset. Day 2: Book a small boat in the morning for a private “island hopping” and birdwatching tour. In the afternoon, visit bamboo weaving artisans or the Doucan workshop. Day 3: Cycle around the lake section in the morning. In the afternoon, return home contentedly with handmade crafts and a peaceful heart. 🌿 Travel philosophy: At Lushan West Sea, the most beautiful scenery isn’t necessarily on the ticketed islands but in the corners you actively explore, in the moments you quietly listen to the wind, water, and birdsong. Teaching children this ability to “discover beauty” is more important than just checking in.

I stayed at the Breaktime Hotel for two nights and three days. It was about 10 minutes from Jukdo Market, and the room was warm. It was a great stay at a reasonable price. I had a great time eating and enjoying Pohang. If I get the chance, I'll definitely visit again.

Follow it to avoid any pitfalls—your photography contest in your friend circle will be legendary! 📸 🚗 Itinerary Overview (Two Days One Night) Day 1: Departure → Changshui Scenic Area🌲 → Shangtang Hot Springs♨️ → Check-in at Yuejia Chain Hotel🏨 → Night tour of Xihai Bay🌙 + Check-in at Bayin Tower🎶 Day 2: Hotel → Lushan Xihai Scenic Area💦 → Eat authentic Gan cuisine at Guaiba Restaurant🍲 → Return trip (heading home with a belly full of delicious food and a great mood~) 🌟 Must-Visit Attractions Guide 1. Changshui Scenic Area🌳 This is a natural oxygen bar surrounded by green mountains and clear waters! Stroll under the thousand-year-old red bean cedar trees, and every deep breath is filled with fresh herbal fragrance—feels like a spa for your lungs. The winding mountain roads along the self-driving route are super healing, and every snapshot looks like a forest-themed masterpiece. You might even encounter a "tree spirit"~ (Just kidding, but it really feels magical!) 2. Shangtang Hot Springs♨️ After exploring the forest, you must soak in a healing hot spring! The water at Shangtang Hot Springs is rich in various minerals. Soaking in the warm water instantly melts away all fatigue. Visiting here in autumn and winter is incredibly comfortable—feeling like a ginseng soaking in warm water~ 3. Xihai Bay Scenic Area + Bayin Tower🌉 The essence of Wuning’s night view is all here! At dusk, take a boat ride on Xihai Bay, with reflections shimmering on the lake’s surface, creating a full atmosphere—warning: phone storage may run out! The landmark Bayin Tower is a must-check-in! The ancient-style pavilion stands by the lake, grand and romantic under the lights, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a famous scene from a historical drama~ (Remember to turn on live mode, or your friends might think you photoshopped it!) 4. Lushan Xihai Scenic Area💧 This place is truly nature’s favorite, with crystal-clear lake water and over 1,600 islands scattered like pearls on the surface—God must have spilled a box of pearls here!

Highly recommended dishes include stick fish braised with tofu, with tender fish meat and few bones, and tofu soaked in rich broth that goes perfectly with rice; stir-fried cured meat with dried bamboo shoots, salty and delicious with a strong farmhouse flavor; and glutinous rice cakes, soft, sticky, and sweet, so good you can’t stop eating. Generous portions and affordable prices~ I felt like I could eat a whole cow but ended up so full I had to lean on the wall to get out! 📌 Self-Driving Tips⚠️ 1. The road conditions are good, but some mountain roads have many curves, so drive slowly and carefully—don’t try to be a racing god on Mount Akina~ 2. Replenish water promptly after soaking in the hot springs—otherwise, you might turn into a "hot spring dry"~ 3. Guaiba Restaurant is busy during meal times, so it’s recommended to visit off-peak or book in advance—after all, a good restaurant is worth the wait

Stop crowding at the South Gate! When traveling with kids in Huangshan, there’s a more relaxed and less crowded treasure route—ascending from the North Gate (Taiping Cableway). This route perfectly avoids the mainstream crowds, minimizes physical exertion, and connects the mountain’s highlights with the ancient charm at the foot, making it ideal for families seeking a leisurely vacation. This article reveals this “lazy-friendly” in-depth itinerary. 🚠 Why choose the North Gate (Taiping Cableway)? Fewer crowds and tranquility: 90% of tourists and tour groups enter from the South Gate, making the North Gate a peaceful spot with shorter cableway lines. Easy transportation: Self-driving visitors can reach the North Gate Songgu An Transfer Center directly; after parking, it’s a short walk to the cableway station. Direct to the core: The Taiping Cableway is Asia’s longest reversible cableway, with large cabins and stunning scenery all the way, arriving near Paiyun Pavilion in the West Sea Scenic Area, instantly immersing you in Huangshan’s most spectacular landscapes. 🧳 Two-day, one-night slow travel itinerary Day 1: Ascend from the North Gate, wander through the wonders of the West Sea Arrive at Huangshan North Gate in the morning and take the Taiping Cableway, crossing the canyon in the air for a breathtaking start. After getting off the cableway, you’ll be at the essence of the West Sea Scenic Area. Recommended route: Paiyun Pavilion (to see the strange rocks) → Echo Wall → Flying-over Rock. This section has gentle ups and downs, perfect for walking and playing without tiring the kids. Have lunch and rest at the West Sea Hotel or Paiyun Building Hotel. In the afternoon, depending on your energy, choose a light hike or check into a nearby hotel early to rest and recharge. In winter, the bottom of the West Sea Grand Canyon and the track cable car close, but the upper section’s scenery is already enchanting. ⭐ Accommodation tips: If you want to stay on the mountain to watch the sunrise, the West Sea Hotel or Paiyun Building Hotel are convenient choices. If you prefer not to stay on the mountain, you can take the cableway back to the North Gate in the afternoon and stay at a wild luxury guesthouse at the foot of the mountain (see recommendations below). Day 2: Ancient villages at the foot, exploring Huizhou culture Option A (stay on the mountain): Watch the sunrise at Danxia Peak or Lion Peak early morning (check times in advance). Spend the morning strolling through the North Sea Scenic Area (Dream Pen Flower, Monkey Watching the Sea), then take the Yungu Cableway down to the South Gate to end the trip. Option B (stay at the foot): Enjoy a lazy morning at the guesthouse, then drive to Huizhou ancient villages. Recommended are Chengkan or Tangmo, which are less crowded than Hongcun and Xidi, offering a more authentic experience of Huizhou life and architectural aesthetics. 🏞️ Wild luxury rest stop at the foot: Youtan Valley · Wild Luxury Resort Hotel For complete relaxation, we recommend staying at the top guesthouse at the foot of Huangshan—Youtan Valley · Wild Luxury Resort Hotel (Huangshan Huizhou branch). Picturesque environment: The hotel is hidden in Shuyuan Village, Huizhou District’s “Little Peach Blossom Land,” with a private 30-acre garden, mountain views from the window, surrounded by bamboo groves, making it a scenic spot itself. Super family-friendly: The hotel offers children’s play facilities and natural activities like vegetable picking and feeding small animals, perfectly tailored for family vacations. Delicious food and convenience: Many ingredients come from the hotel’s own garden, including authentic Huizhou stinky mandarin fish. The hotel is only 15-20 minutes by car from Chengkan, Lingshan ancient villages, making it an ideal cultural base for exploring Huizhou. Booking: Search the full hotel name on platforms like Trip.com to book. ⚠️ Special winter notes for the North Gate route Cableway hours: Winter cableway operation times may change (e.g., closing around 4 PM). Be sure to check the official website in advance for the latest descent time and plan accordingly. Route connection: Ascending from the North Gate and descending from the South Gate avoids backtracking but requires arranging transportation between the two points in advance (such as booking a private transfer or using the park shuttle bus). Information verification: Before traveling, call to confirm the North Gate’s opening status and cableway operation. 🎒 Essential gear supplement In addition to the warm gear mentioned in the previous article, for the North Gate route you can also prepare: Light packing: If you plan to descend and stay at a guesthouse the same day, bring only necessary water, food, and clothing, leaving bulky luggage in the car or guesthouse. Photography gear: The West Sea Scenic Area’s bizarre rocks are extremely photogenic in the light and shadow—don’t forget to fully charge your camera and phone. A relaxed heart: This route emphasizes slow travel, no need to rush through sights. Discovering ice formations in rock crevices and frost flowers on pine needles with your kids creates the most precious memories. Change your entrance, change your perspective, and your Huangshan trip can transform from a strenuous climb into a comfortable vacation blending natural wonders and cultural nourishment. Save this guide and get ready to go!

Tired of the crowds at popular tourist spots, this time we ventured deep into Jiangxi and found this secret forest resort kingdom by the West Sea of Lushan—China Overseas Lushan West Sea Junlan Resort Hotel. It perfectly combines nature, family fun, and relaxation, giving me so many surprises. 🌳 A family exploration diary in the forest The hotel itself is a huge natural classroom: Pinecone collecting and crafting: Every morning, the kids “treasure hunt” around the villa, collecting pinecones and fallen leaves of different shapes. Back in the room, we use a hot glue gun to make them into little animal ornaments, a unique travel souvenir. Nature observer: We asked the hotel for a local flora and fauna guidebook and took the kids to find matching plants along the forest trails, meeting many new friends like the Chinese tallow tree and mountain pepper. Starry sky class: With little light pollution, the night sky is clear on clear nights. We downloaded a stargazing app and identified winter constellations in the villa yard, the kids were fascinated. ⛵ Advanced ways to enjoy Lushan West Sea Besides the usual boat tours, you can also try: Fishing village experience: Contact the hotel or a local guide to arrange a visit to Zhenjun Village by the West Sea, watch fishermen at work, learn traditional fishing methods, and if the timing is right, taste the freshest catch. Water activities: Summer offers a variety of water sports here; although you can’t swim in winter, the lakeside scenery is still worth capturing with your camera. Art town: A 30-minute drive takes you to the Lushan West Sea Art Center (Zhelin Old Town Intangible Cultural Heritage Food and Creative Park), where the ancient-style buildings house various snacks and handmade shops. The evening lights create a charming atmosphere. 🏠 Villa stay details and thoughtful tips Facilities: The villa kitchen is fully equipped (induction cooker, microwave), allowing simple food preparation. There is a washer and dryer, very convenient for family trips. Heating: In winter, the villa has both air conditioning and underfloor heating, very warm. But after soaking in the hot spring, be sure to put on a thick bathrobe quickly when walking from the yard back to the room. Mosquitoes: Almost no mosquitoes in winter, which is great. Suitable for: Especially ideal for multi-family groups with elders and children, renting several adjacent villas offers privacy while making it easy to visit each other. 🗺️ Perfect 3-day 2-night itinerary reference Day 1: Arrive in the afternoon, get familiar with the environment, soak in the private hot spring, have dinner at the hotel’s Chinese restaurant. Day 2: After breakfast, take a boat tour of the West Sea islands, have a light lunch back at the hotel or in town. In the afternoon, kids join hotel craft activities while adults swim in the heated pool or enjoy a spa. Continue soaking in the hot spring and stargazing at night. Day 3: Early morning forest hike, breakfast, then visit the West Sea Art Center to shop for local specialties before happily heading home. At China Overseas Junlan, we experienced a “controlled wildness” and “warm luxury.” It’s understated but uses solid facilities, beautiful surroundings, and attentive service to make every family member feel cared for and joyful. For friends looking for a high-quality family vacation destination, I sincerely recommend this place. Booking platform: Search “China Overseas Lushan West Sea Junlan Resort Hotel” on Trip.com to view villa room types.
