Travelogue

Live here and break through the travel barrier by Poyang Lake directly
This time, I visited the Poyang Lake Wetland in depth in Gongqing City and stayed at the Grand Skylight International Hotel Gongqingcheng Jiujiang throughout the journey. The most intuitive feeling was that its surroundings and transportation configuration completely hit all the pain points of traveling in a small town in northern Jiangxi. You don't have to take detours in unfamiliar streets and alleys, just lift your foot and immerse yourself in the lake light and fireworks, which is a rare "zero hassle" landing spot in the Gongqing City area.
The hotel's location can be regarded as the golden hub of the core area of Gongqing City. From Gongqing City High speed Railway Station, you can walk on the main road of Jiuxian Avenue and reach the hotel's main entrance in 15 minutes by car. The entire journey is a smooth two-way six lane road, without the need to cross intricate country roads. It is completely effortless to carry a suitcase filled with camping equipment and photography equipment. From here on the Changjiu Expressway, it takes 40 minutes towards Nanchang to reach the city center, and 50 minutes towards Jiujiang to reach the southern foot of Mount Lu. Whether it's crossing the city to visit scenic spots or rushing back by high-speed rail, you don't have to worry about traffic jams during peak hours.
If it is a self driving trip, it is more worry free. The hotel comes with a large exclusive free parking lot, and the entrance and exit are right next to the main road, so you don't have to spend half an hour searching for a parking space on the narrow side road of Gongqing City. It takes only 5 minutes from the hotel to get on the high-speed connecting line, and you can quickly get on the main line to Poyang Lake National Wetland Park, Gongqingcheng University City, and Fuhua Mountain Scenic Area. It saves at least 20 minutes of commuting time during morning and evening rush hours compared to taking ground roads. Even if you go to soak in hot springs at the foot of Mount Lu, the whole journey is smooth without detours and can be reached within an hour.
The most surprising thing is the density of life that can be reached on foot, without the need to travel across regions just to taste authentic Gan Bei cuisine. Walk for 3 minutes at the main entrance of the hotel, you can find the old Gongqingcheng Fried Rice Noodle Shop which has been open for more than 20 years. The fried egg flour with a bowl of Soup pot can satisfy you for more than 10 yuan. In the alley that is a 5-minute walk from the back door, there are authentic Poyang Lake fish restaurants and freshly made Ganbei rice noodle shops. Even if you stroll through the wetlands until late at night and come back, the night snack stalls in the alley are still open. Walking over, you can pack a fresh and spicy boiled skewer.
The options for daily leisure check ins are even more diverse. It takes only 8 minutes to walk into the greenway along the Poyang Lake, 15 minutes to walk along the lake shore to the wetland bird watching point, and 10 minutes to ride a shared bike in the evening to reach the Fuhua Mountain scenic area. The city scenery of Gongqing City is laid out by the lake, and the whole day's sightseeing itinerary does not rely on public transportation. If you want to experience the daily life of locals, you can walk for 10 minutes to the food street of Gongqing City University Town, and for just over ten yuan, you can enjoy authentic Ganbei snacks at student prices, leisurely passing the afternoon.
In a small town like Gongqing City, built by the lake, many accommodations are either far from the high-speed railway station, taking a long detour with luggage, or there are no supporting facilities in the surrounding area, and it takes more than ten minutes by car to find a place to eat hot food. And Grand Skylight International Hotel Gongqingcheng Jiujiang just avoids these pain points. The highway network connects all the core attractions in northern Jiangxi, and within walking distance, it gathers authentic local flavors from breakfast to late night snacks. Whether you come to Poyang Lake for bird watching and photography, or to Gongqing City for business travel, staying here can truly achieve zero hassle travel.Show more
Relaxed foothold by Poyang Lake
I took a few days to visit the wetland scenery of northern Jiangxi in Gongqing City, and specifically chose to stay at Grand Skylight International Hotel Gongqingcheng Jiujiang. I had heard from friends who often come to northern Jiangxi for self driving that it is one of the few high-end hotels that combines lake views and convenient travel. You don't have to take detours to find food and explore in the small town. After actually staying there, I found that it completely breaks away from the common thin supporting facilities of county-level hotels, and perfectly incorporates the moist and relaxed feeling of Poyang Lake into every accommodation detail.
I drove from Nanchang around 6pm and took the Changjiu Expressway for an hour and a half to reach the hotel entrance. From afar, I could see the open lake surface of Poyang Lake, with the scent of wetland grass in the wind. When checking in, the local girl at the front desk was particularly enthusiastic. Upon learning that I was here specifically to check in at the Poyang Lake wetland, she arranged a high floor lake view room for me. Pushing open the window, I could see the sunset dyeing the lake surface warm gold, and groups of water birds passing by the wetland in the distance, creating a particularly healing scene. She also casually handed over a handwritten list of local snacks, indicating the decades old Gongqingcheng fried noodle shop and Poyang Lake fish restaurant that can be reached within a ten minute walk. She even marked the best spot for wetland bird watching and the free opening hours.
The first feeling when entering the room is that the space is spacious and bright, with a stable and atmospheric modern business style decoration. There are no redundant fancy decorations, and warm toned lights fall on the light wood colored furniture. As soon as you enter, it dissolves the fatigue of driving all day long. A spacious lounge chair was left by the window, and I imported the wetland photos I just took into my computer to organize them. I connected them to the hotel's high-speed WiFi and shared the lake view outside with friends without any lag throughout the entire process. The most surprising thing is that the softness and hardness of the bedding just fit the waist and back. After driving for several hours, my back and waist ache. Lying in bed, I can quickly relax. With the double-layer soundproof glass closed, the sound of traffic on the main road outside is almost completely isolated. Even during peak weekend traffic hours, I can sleep soundly until dawn.
The most worry free way to live here is for travel and leisure. It takes only ten minutes to walk along the greenway along the coast of Poyang Lake. Walking slowly along the lake, blowing the humid lake breeze, can relieve most of the fatigue from a whole day of self driving. Downstairs is the hotel's own supporting business district, which is particularly convenient for daily water and souvenir purchases, without the need to drive long distances. Within a few kilometers of the surrounding area, authentic northern Jiangxi cuisine is gathered. After strolling through the wetlands late at night, you can turn around and enjoy a pot of delicious Poyang Lake fish head, which is warm to the stomach and particularly comfortable.
The hotel's supporting details are also very thoughtful. The 24-hour self-service laundry room is equipped with drying equipment, so you don't have to worry about your clothes not drying when you return to Nantian in Ganbei. The free gym equipment is complete, and after a busy day of play, taking half an hour to run two steps can alleviate the soreness of sitting and driving. The choice of breakfast gives consideration to both northern and southern tastes. There are freshly cooked Nanchang mixed flour, delicious Soup pot, light Congee and freshly ground coffee. You don't have to deal with them at the roadside in the morning when you go bird watching in the morning.
In a small town like Gongqing City built by the lake, finding such a high-end hotel that balances the lake view experience with accommodation comfort is truly a pleasant surprise for this trip to northern Jiangxi. Next time I come to Poyang Lake for in-depth bird watching and wetland sightseeing, I will definitely choose to stay at Grand Skylight International Hotel Gongqingcheng Jiujiang as soon as possible.Show more
