Tips
culture
上饶 borders Fujian and Zhejiang and is a major Hakka (客家) region. It's home to two of China's most famous scenic spots: 三清山 (a UNESCO World Heritage granite peak) and the rural tourism hotspot 婺源, known for its sea of rapeseed flowers every spring.
memory
饶 means 'abundant, rich' - think of Shangrao as the 'upper land of abundance,' fitting for a fertile basin between three provinces.
