Two people and one car traveled 3,000 kilometers to explore the land of Ganpo with Hanteng V7

At the end of the last article, we said that the red tour was over and we would start a scenic tour with Hanteng V7 on the way back. No, it is here. ?DAY5? Ruijin-Jian-Xinyu? After we rested in Ruijin, we will focus on scenic routes in the next few days, treating it as a relaxing vacation for ourselves. Ruijin beef soup is one of the local specialties. I had it in Nanchang many years ago, but I don’t know if it is authentic or not. This time I will definitely find an authentic old restaurant here to eat before heading out. This is the main purpose of my visit to Ruijin.

I wanted to go to the kitchen to see how it was done, but the boss politely declined. I just wanted to go home and try it out. Each table will be served with some regular seasonings. Ginger needs to be ground by hand, and other ingredients can be prepared as needed. ?Next go to Ji'an, where there is an ancient village - Diaoyuan Ancient Village, which seems to be worth a visit. I basically drive on the highway at night, but I forget to pay attention to the fuel level on the highway for a long time. There is only 50 kilometers of cruising range left, but we still have 60 kilometers before there is a service area. I reduced the speed from 120 to 100 and found that I could reach the service area to refuel. The Hanteng V7 should be the most fuel-efficient at 100. ?We arrived in Ji'an in the early morning. When we woke up the next morning, we discovered that the hotel we were staying in was a newly opened hotel invested by a friend of mine. I feel a little sad that my room fee has been paid. If you have any needs, you can send me a private message and maybe I can add a breakfast for you. ?The urban area of ??Ji'an City is not large, but the city appearance is very neat.

Check in at the Ji'an Culture and Art Center. The building is very modern. For those who like to take pictures, you must take a photo here. All this is just like the sun rising at 7 o'clock in the morning. Vibrant scent. ?I didn’t stay long in the places I passed, and then walked a section of rural road to Diaoyuan Ancient Village.

More than ten kilometers of township roads lead to Diaoyuan Ancient Village. My friend said it is a 4A-level scenic spot. A natural village has become a scenic spot, which is something I am looking forward to. However, the 30 yuan ticket at the entrance of the village surprised me. Most of the people staying in the village were old people and children.

When you see this gate post, you won’t let cars from outside come in casually.

After getting out of the car, this puppy followed us all the way. I don’t know whether he liked us or our car.

After driving around in Gucun, we were ready to leave. We arrived at Xinyu in the afternoon and the whole journey was at high speed. ?On the way back, I came across an ancient building and stopped to visit.

The patio is a product of that era. It can not only take in light but also collect rainwater. It is said that it is also for fire safety.

I haven’t seen the owner of the antique wooden structure. It must have just been completed and has not been officially opened to the public. The locals told us that a visitor center will be opened here in the future. This time we came to experience it in advance. . ?Xinyu City is about ten kilometers away from Fairy Lake. It was a little exciting to go there for the first time. After all, it is the birthplace of the legend of "Women in Sweaters Descend to Earth" and "Chinese Valentine's Day".

When you arrive at Fairy Lake, you naturally check in at the main entrance. There are not many tourists coming this season. It is very convenient to park and visit the lake. If you have a certificate from the Photography Association and bring a professional camera, you can get a free ticket. I really like this.

After we entered, we were greeted by a fairyland of fairies descending to earth. After counting, there should be 7 fairies here. Before entering the lake, there was a section of Qixi Festival Old Street. The old street has a strong commercial atmosphere and they all sell some. There are similar souvenirs in scenic spots across the country, but we basically skip them.

We spent the entire journey on the island, taking a boat trip. Our first stop was Xiaogong Temple, located in the central and eastern part of Fairy Lake. This temple can actually be reached by car, while other islands can only be reached by boat.

This trip to Fairy Lake did not make us particularly fond of it. The management and facilities of the scenic spot were not perfect, and there was a big gap with the Fairy Lake in our hearts. The whole time we were basically either waiting for the boat or sleeping on the boat.

After finishing Fairy Lake, we went to Xinyu Fairy Lake Circuit.

It was getting late, and I happened to see the beautiful sunset.

This track is open to private cars. The fee is 200 yuan per session. You can drive your own car onto the track. ?I thought for 5 seconds and decided to drive the Hanteng V7 MPV on the track. All cars can only fully unleash their performance limits on a standard track.

This time we went off the track without any preparation, it was just an episode in our self-driving process. But with the idea that since it’s here, don’t miss it, I simply tried it for two laps on the track to understand the performance of the Hanteng V7 suspension in corners. Going on the track with an MPV is a false proposition, but the V7's cornering performance on the track still surprised me. The suspension support is quite sufficient. It seems that the tuning from the British Mira is quite good. ?After the racing track ended, we continued on our way. ?In the evening we drove directly from Xinyu to Mingyue Mountain. The hot springs here are very famous. Mingyue Mountain is located in Yichun City. It used to have a particularly nice name called "A City Called Spring" - Yichun. This section of the road is less than 100 kilometers. We were in a hurry along the way and had a simple dinner at Mingyue Mountain. It is recommended that everyone spend at least two days to visit Mingyue Mountain and soak in the hot springs.

You can go hiking in Mingyue Mountain during the day, or you can take the cable car up. The mountain scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is pretty good.

Another feature of Mingyue Mountain in Yichun is selenium-containing water resources. Several major brand mineral water companies have set up water sources here. It is very convenient for tourists from surrounding Wuhan, Changsha and other places to come here whether by self-driving or high-speed rail.

DAY? 6? Yichun-Nanchang? After getting up, the next stop is Nanchang. This is also the capital city of Jiangxi Province. Urban construction is developing very fast. We plan to spend a day here eating, drinking and having fun.

In the morning, we went to Poyuan Tea Village to have a cup of tea. This is considered a check-in spot for internet celebrities. It is hard to imagine that there is such a tea village hidden in a modern city. Here you can feel the traditional Chinese tea culture. The tea ceremony center with tea is a platform for research and exchange. Of course, the B&B located deep in a large bamboo forest is also a unique feature here.

We booked a room in Poyuan and we must not treat ourselves badly when we go out to play.

After parking the car, I went to the commercial street and discussed with the security guy for a long time before he agreed to let me drive up and take a photo. Fortunately, it's not the weekend or Golden Week, otherwise there would be no chance at all. There are not many places where cars and scenery can be integrated without any sense of inconsistency.

The commercial street requires tickets, but customers staying here are free of charge. Come to think of it, this place is particularly suitable for shooting costume films, Hanfu, etc., and there is no need for post-production scenery.

Sipping a cup of tea lazily and quietly, the whole world becomes quiet. The road in Poyuan Tea Village is not very wide, but the scenery is beautiful. The white Hanteng V7 looks particularly elegant here.

This day in Nanchang can be regarded as the most relaxing day. The temperature during the day is very suitable. However, drinking tea in the tea village and basking in the sun will be extremely low at night, so you need to prepare an extra piece of clothing. ?After dinner, I planned to take some city night scenes. Nanchang’s light shows were completely changed for the 70th anniversary of the National Day. The world’s top ten dynamic cities deserve this title.

Finally, let’s take a look at the beautiful Nanchang from God’s perspective. The light shows on both sides of the river attract many foreign tourists to stop and watch at night. As long as the weather is good, the two fountain shows in Qiushui Square are also Asian. Best of all, if you are lucky, you can see the best drone show on the cruise ship on the Ganjiang River at 8pm on Friday.

The next article is also the last one in this travelogue. We will go to Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of the world, so stay tuned.
