It shares a deep cultural connection with Jingdezhen, the "Porcelain Capital" — porcelain and opera are the twin jewels of Jingdezhen’s culture.

Leping is the hometown of Gan Opera and an important ancient porcelain production center. Here, you can find well-preserved ancient theater stages and profound ancient porcelain kiln sites.

Who still only knows Jingdezhen! The early spring landscapes of neighboring Leping are simply legendary✨ Off-season prices are super low per person, covering Danxia landforms, thousand-year-old ancient opera stages, underground karst caves, and all the hidden gems—personally tested with no traps! 🚗 Transportation Guide Take the high-speed train to Jingdezhen North Station or Wuyuan Station, then a taxi or carpool for about an hour to downtown Leping. You can use public buses for city attractions, but for places like Hongyan Wonderland and Wenshan Stone Forest, it’s recommended to rent a car or drive yourself, costing about 200-300 RMB per day. Early spring off-season is negotiable, and the rural scenery along the way is beautiful. 🏞️ Off-the-Beaten-Path Spots ✅ Hongyan Wonderland💎 A typical karst underground cave with a constant comfortable temperature in early spring. Three interwoven layers of dry caves, water caves, and waterfall caves, with stalactites in all shapes and forms, dreamlike under the lights. Personal feeling: boating through the underground dark river feels like exploring the center of the earth😌 ✅ Wenshan Stone Forest🎐 A rare combination of Danxia landforms and stone forest landscapes in Jiangxi. Few visitors in early spring, so you can leisurely wander among the strange stones and peaks, with vivid contrasts of red rocks and green trees. Climb the viewing platform for a panoramic view that looks like a National Geographic masterpiece—majestic and serene🌅 ✅ Huyan Ancient Opera Stage💚 A nationally protected cultural relic, the essence of Qing Dynasty ancestral hall opera stages. Early spring sunlight shines through the courtyard onto exquisite wood carvings, sparkling brilliantly. Without tourist noise, you can quietly appreciate the clever design of “performances on stage, markets below,” fully immersing in the ancient atmosphere~ 🍲 Local Delicacies List Early spring seasonal wild vegetables are fresh! Must-try dishes include “Leping dog meat” (try cautiously), stir-fried cured meat with Artemisia, Qingming rice cakes, and Huitian rice noodles. Visit farmhouse restaurants in towns like Jiedu and Zhongbu for authentic ingredients and reasonable prices. Drink a bowl of local grain wine to warm your body and dispel dampness. 💡 Tips to Avoid Pitfalls Northern Jiangxi is rainy in early spring, so remember to bring an umbrella and waterproof shoe covers. The cave floors are slippery, so be careful🧣 Stay in downtown Leping for better conditions and a good location to all attractions. The tour inside Hongyan Wonderland cave takes a long time, and the temperature difference outside is large, so bring an extra jacket. Don’t just crowd Jingdezhen for porcelain hunting—come to Leping in early spring to see geological wonders and ancient cultural buildings, and fully satisfy your sense of exploration💖

Who would have thought that besides ancient architecture, Shanxi Datong also has such an amazing place! 😭 Took the kids to the Datong Earth Forest, known as the "Devil City of North China," and it was truly breathtaking. The kids had a blast, and this family trip was so meaningful! The stone forest of Datong Earth Forest is located in a depression and looks completely different from the stone forests we've seen before. The shapes are strange and very distinctive~ Hiking and exploring here with the kids, they were as excited as if they had discovered a new continent~ 📸 Tips for photographing with kids, guaranteed great shots! Location: Just enter "Datong Earth Forest" in your navigation to get there. Once inside the scenic area, you can find many angles to admire the uniquely shaped earth forest~ Besides viewing from the ground, we also recommend using a drone to find new perspectives. The kids loved looking down at the earth forest from the sky and kept saying, "Mom, doesn’t it look like an alien castle?"~ Time: The colors of the earth forest change with the sunlight, so it’s best to visit near sunset~ Under the slanting light, the earth forest shows warm tones (golden yellow → orange-red → ochre red), with strong textures and three-dimensionality. Taking photos with the kids at this time means every shot looks like a masterpiece 📷 We went in the evening, and the photos were really beautiful. The kids loved it too~ Other: The earth forest is continuously shaped by wind and rain erosion, and some areas may disappear year by year. So moms planning to take their kids should visit as soon as possible, or you might not see this scenery in the future~ 🌟 Tips for playing with kids: 1. Clothing: The area around Datong Earth Forest is quite open and windy, so bring a light jacket for the kids to avoid catching a cold~ The midday sun is strong, so make sure to protect the kids with sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats~ 2. Supplies: Bring plenty of snacks, fruit, and water that the kids like. There aren’t many supplies in the scenic area, so you can replenish energy during the hike. Stop to rest and eat when the kids get hungry~ 3. Safety: When hiking with kids, always hold their hands tightly and don’t let them climb steep earth slopes to avoid accidents~ Some areas in the park may be slippery, so have the kids wear non-slip shoes~ 4. Science education: While playing, you can explain to the kids how the earth forest was formed, such as by long-term wind and rain erosion and water flow, helping them appreciate nature’s wonders and broaden their knowledge~ 5. Environmental protection: Teach the kids to love and protect the environment, not to litter, and to set a good example by preserving this magical earth forest~ Taking the kids to Datong Earth Forest was truly an unforgettable family experience. The kids not only enjoyed the amazing natural scenery but also learned a lot and improved their hiking skills~ The Devil City of North China really lives up to its name and is definitely worth a visit with kids! Moms, be sure to save this guide and set off with your kids! 🌞

Walking through the streets and alleys of Leping, it feels like every step echoes history.

The constant temperature of 18°C year-round is fantastic. Inside, there’s no need to rush; just walk slowly and take your time. The most healing part is the underground waterfall 💦 The sound of water hitting the rocks is especially rich and deep, not noise but more like "natural white noise." Watching the rushing water for a few minutes eases even work-related anxiety 🫂 🪨 The stalactites are a delightful surprise! Their shapes, formed over thousands of years, are oddly cute 🤩 Some look like curled-up kittens 🐱, others like hanging silk curtains. Soft colored lights shine on them, making it feel like stepping into a low-saturation fairy tale world. Squatting in front of the waterfall to take silhouette photos is absolutely stunning 🌈 The outline of the water flows around your body 🫰 Standing under the stalactites and shooting upward also makes for great photos. The reflective stone surface adds height and captures the grandeur of the stalactites in the frame 🥸 🔅 Getting there is not as troublesome as imagined! Besides driving, you can take a shuttle bus from Jingdezhen city to Leping, then transfer to a local car to reach the site. The ticket costs 69 yuan with no hidden fees. You can explore in 1-2 hours without rushing. One reminder: 👟 wear non-slip shoes, as the cave floor is a bit wet‼️

Strolling along Taoyangli Old Street in Jingdezhen, the bluestone pavement beneath your feet still bears traces of porcelain workshops from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Known as the "Porcelain Capital," this city became the site of imperial kilns as early as the Jingde era (1004-1007) of the Northern Song Dynasty due to its high-quality porcelain clay and exquisite craftsmanship. Just 40 kilometers away, Leping City became Jingdezhen's most important raw material supplier during the Yuan Dynasty after the discovery of kaolin deposits in Hongyan Cave. Together, these two cities wove the fabric of China's ceramic civilization. 🏺 The Soul of Porcelain in Taoyangli The Taoyangli Historic District preserves the world's most complete collection of ancient kiln ruins. Beside the Ming Dynasty gourd-shaped kiln site, you can touch the "firing testers" on the kiln walls—ingenious fragments used by ancient craftsmen to gauge temperature. The steamed-bun-shaped dome of the Qing Dynasty town kiln remains a living textbook for studying ancient thermodynamics. Most unforgettable is listening to elders recount the legend of Tong Bin, the Fire Master, at the You Tao Ling Temple: during the Wanli era of Ming Dynasty, this kiln worker leaped into flames to save a cracking imperial dragon jar, safeguarding Jingdezhen's porcelain legacy with his life. 🏨 A Hotel Embedded with Porcelain Fragments The Pudimanju Hotel perfectly blends modern design with traditional ceramic art. The lobby walls are inlaid with porcelain shards from various dynasties, each labeled with its era—Northern Song shadow blue, Yuan blue-and-white, Ming sweet white... The ceramic lamp bases in guest rooms replicate unearthed Xuande cricket jars from the imperial kiln. Most magical is the elevator shaft, where layered porcelain fragments visible through glass create the sensation of riding a time elevator through ceramic history. 🌌 Wonders of the Underground Porcelain Palace Leping's Hongyan Fairyland reveals the geological secrets behind porcelain. Boarding a boat to enter the 800-meter-long underground river, stalactites glow with cobalt-blue hues resembling blue-and-white porcelain under the lights. Most breathtaking is the "Kaolin Corridor," where exposed kaolin layers shimmer with pearlescent luster under mining lamps. Guides demonstrate how ancient craftsmen used the "one-yuan formula" (50% kaolin, 50% porcelain stone) to create ceramics "white as jade, bright as mirror." The cave features a simulated dragon kiln where visitors can experience the complete process from clay preparation to glazing. From the artisan spirit embodied in Taoyangli to the geological gifts of Hongyan Cave, this twin-city journey truly unveils the dual meaning of "China." Sipping tea from a modern blue-and-white coffee cup on Pudimanju's terrace, one suddenly understands: the best travels transform millennia of civilization into warmth held in your palms.

Don't look at the dragon boat, Jiangxi people are embarrassed to say that they have passed the Dragon Boat Festival My hometown is a small town located in the northeastern part of Jiangxi Province, Leping, in addition to eating dumplings, tea eggs, Tongye dumplings, dragon boat, reward The dragon boat is the most popular highlight during the Dragon Boat Festival in the hometown. From the time of childhood, every year at the end of the Dragon Boat Festival, the people in the nearby towns and villages will flock to see the dragon boat race on the Lean River. The Dragon Boat Festival tastes even better than the year-round taste. As a result, although he was far away from home because of his study and work, he still couldnt help but want to go back to his hometown during the Dragon Boat Festival. First, he couldnt forget the taste of Tongye Dumpling on the tip of his tongue. Besides, he wanted to stay again. In the wonderful dragon boat feast, only this way, I feel that it is really a Dragon Boat Festival. Last year at the Dragon Boat Festival, I went back to Jiangxi to watch the dragon boat. In the expectation of people, the annual dragon boat race officially started. On the sparkling Lean River, the dragon boats in the towns and villages continued to appear in the river. The mighty, like a dragon, flying fast and breaking the waves. I saw the crew's enthusiasm, the paddles flying up and down, shining under the sunlight, and the dragon boat was like a broken arrow, coming and going on the calm river. The game is in a tight place, it is even more exciting. Two dragon boats and even a few dragon boats go hand in hand. You chase after me. The shouts on the shore are also covered for a while, and some even take out the drums in the house. Heavy beats and cheers, paddles, refueling, and drumming sounds gathered together, echoing on the river, deafening. The dragon boat race on the Lean River ended in a vocal cheering, like a city carnival. I returned to my hometown and witnessed a Dragon Boat Festival event. I felt the humanity and spirit of the people who dare to fight hard. The infiltration is such a subtle influence. I believe that my children, after a year of personal experience, will also be obsessed with the law and significance of this Dragon Boat Festival folklore.
