Wangxiangu, a resort town wedged into a sheer granite gorge in Shangrao, became a sensation for its lantern-lit cliffside inns and waterfalls; Gexian Village nearby pairs Daoist temples with traditional streets. Visit on a 2-day loop: arrive afternoon, ride the glass platforms and walk the gorge before dusk, then photograph the town after the lanterns switch on around 18:30 — sleep inside the valley to catch blue hour without the day-trip crowds. Day two continues to Gexian Village and its cable car. Most guests combine both with Sanqingshan: mountains in the morning, fantasy town at night. Wear shoes with grip for wet stone steps and note weekends sell out valley hotels two weeks ahead.
