Attractions in and around Shangrao include;

Gexian Mountain, located in the middle of Qianshan County, is an offshoot of Mt. Wuyi. Celebrated Daoist Ge Xuan of the Jin dynasty was said to refine elixirs and preach on this mountain, so later generations called it Immortal Ge Mountain, which became a Daoist sacred place well known in Jiangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang.

Wuyuan is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Jiangxi and is well known throughout China, mainly for its well protected architecture from the Ming and Qing dynasties.


Dazhang Mountain is located on the boundary of Anhui and Jiangxi Province, in Wuyuan county. Wolong Gorge is 3 kilometers long and 730 meters high and contains numerous waterfalls including the second highest in China with a drop of 193 meters.

Jiangwan is located in a stream valley surrounded by three mountains, 20 kilometers east of Wuyuan County. The layout of Jiangwan is unique. There are six lanes in a street and everyone is special. If you climb Longshan Mountain and look down, the lanes in the center form a Chinese character meaning peaceful. The old streets in Jiangwan maintain the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties with narrow street fronts, old shops with wooden doors, old sales counters, and old storage racks.
