Day 1

Arrival, Wenchangli & Tang Xianzu

The Wenchangli quarter by the old east gate keeps the lanes where Tang Xianzu (1550-1616) grew up, with the Qing-era Yulong Wanshou Palace hall at its centre; an evening stage show drawn from the Peony Pavilion plays here. The memorial in the city's south, opened in 1995, lays out the Four Dreams of Linchuan, including the 1598 Peony Pavilion.

Day 2

Liukeng Village Day

Start early — Le'an county is about two hours west by road. Liukeng, the Dong clan village dubbed the First Village of a Thousand Years, keeps hundreds of Ming-Qing houses around flagstone lanes, and its exam-hall tradition produced dozens of degree-holders over the Song-to-Qing centuries; the building groups were listed as a national key heritage site in 2001.

Day 3

Terraces & Departure

The Nixiantai terrace above the Fu River, first raised in 1057 with an essay by Zeng Gong to its name, makes an easy morning; the Wang Anshi Memorial nearby honours the Linchuan-born reformer (1021-1086) in garden courtyards. A market lunch, then trains on the Nanchang-Fuzhou railway, running since 2013.
