5 days
The essence — mist mountains and ancient villages.
A first introduction to the province. Nanchang's literary pavilion, Wuyuan's rapeseed valleys, Jingdezhen's porcelain workshops, Lushan's tea-mist mornings. Paced for those who want the heart of Jiangxi without sacrificing its quiet.
Five days is a careful number. Long enough to step into the rhythm of Jiangxi, short enough to leave wanting another week. We have built Essential as a measured arc — pavilion at the centre of dynasty, then west to the village valleys, north to the porcelain city, and finally up into the cloud-quiet of Lushan.
Highlights
Sunset at Tengwang Pavilion — where a Tang poet rewrote Chinese literature
Two nights in a 600-year-old Hui village courtyard
Private ceramic workshop with a Jingdezhen master
Lushan Yunwu tea ceremony, served on the mountain
Duration
Day 1
Met at Changbei airport. Settle into a quiet hotel above the Gan river. Late afternoon at Tengwang Pavilion, the literary tower rebuilt twenty-eight times across thirteen centuries. Dinner of Jiangxi specialties, hosted by your designer.
Day 2
Slow drive north-east through tea hills. Arrival in Likeng village by lunch. The afternoon is unscheduled — wander between stone bridges, white-walled lanes, ancestral halls. Dinner at a village table.
Day 3
Morning in Huangling, the hanging-field village. Lunch at the foot of the kilns. Afternoon in a working studio with a sixth-generation porcelain master — wheel, glaze, mark. You will leave with a piece you shaped yourself.
Day 4
A long lunch at Taoxichuan Art Avenue, then the climb to Lushan. Donglin Temple at dusk — the courtyard lanterns lit one by one. The mountain air thins; the valley falls away. A pot of Yunwu in the room before sleep.
Day 5
Dawn tea ceremony on the mountain. Slow descent through cloud. Lunch in Nanchang. Onward flight.
