General presentation
Longhushan and Yingtan
Falaise danxia, Luxi River and Taoist traditions meet in a cultural landscape of the east central Jiangxi.
The discovery of Longhushan and Yingtan is structured around Mount Longhu, Residence of the Heavenly Master and Luxi River. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, riverscapes, heritage and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Must-see place
Longhu Mount
Red reliefs, temples and caves border a slow river covered by rafts. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, adapted shoes and time margins remain useful outside cities.
Must-see place
Résidence du Maître céleste
A Taoist ensemble recalls the role of the site in the school of Heavenly Masters. A visit early in the day makes it possible to better observe the local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding part of the groups and the traffic.
River
Luxi River
The slow river bypasses the red cliffs and serves as the main axis for the discovery of the massif. The season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; it is also necessary to respect the fragile banks and the possible local restrictions.
Must-see place
Danxia de Longhushan
Domes, walls and red monoliths belong to the geological complex danxia listed as a World Heritage Site. An early visit allows you to better observe the local uses and details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
