A boat cruise through the upper Xin'an River scenery, stringing together loquat groves, Jiusha Fishing Village and ancient Miantan Village on both banks; the 'landscape gallery' name is well earned — in Western visitors' eyes it is a long scroll route with the mood of an Eastern landscape painting, best in the spring rapeseed season and the early-summer loquat season.
Getting there: Shendu Wharf, Shexian
