The valley is full of cliffs, strange rocks, steep cliffs and dangerous peaks, and the scenery along the way is like a splendid painting, which is intoxicating. The most famous one is the sky bridge, where there is also a legend about Zhu Yuanzhang.
It is said that Jinxiu Valley was where Huiyuan, a famous monk from the East during the Jin Dynasty, picked flowers and herbs. Wang Anshi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote in a poem: "Returning home with a smile is a beautiful morning, it is good to be the host of the famous mountains. When you encounter the Five Lakes, you will go there with excitement, inviting the spring in Jinxiu Valley."

Jinxiu Valley is a beautiful valley from the stone steps on the left side of the sky bridge to the Immortal Cave, about 1.5 kilometers long. It is formed by the intersection of Dalin Peak and Tianchi Mountain. The repeated carving of the Quaternary glaciers formed a flat-bottomed and steep-walled landscape. There are many strange rocks in the valley, which is steep and beautiful. If the temperature drops suddenly, this is still one of the best places to see the clouds and mist of Lushan Mountain.
The Jinxiu Valley of Mount Lu is formed by the intersection of Dalin Peak and Tianchi Mountain. Due to the Quaternary glacier, a valley with a flat bottom and steep walls was formed here. From the overpass, follow the stone steps on the left to the Xianren Cave. This beautiful valley is the Jinxiu Valley. Flowers bloom all year round, like brocade. It is said that it was the place where Huiyuan, a famous monk from the East in the Jin Dynasty, picked flowers and herbs. There are thousands of rocks competing for beauty in the valley, and thousands of gullies are winding. The cliffs are naturally formed, the stone forests are tall and straight, and the cliffs and peaks are of different shapes and lifelike. There are many scenic spots along the way, such as the overpass, the lucky stone, the dangerous peaks, and the negotiation platform. The uncanny workmanship of nature and the beautiful legend complement each other.
Generally, tourists who visit Jinxiu Valley take a bus and get off at Huajing Station, enter Jinxiu Valley, and pass Xianren Cave. We went the other way, got off at Xianren Cave Station, and traveled in the opposite direction to Jinxiu Valley. At Xianren Cave Station, we encountered uninvited guests - monkeys. A lady screamed, attracting us. She said that a monkey snatched the plastic bag in her hand. She didn't react at the time and thought it was a child. There were more monkeys in the scenic area. It was a Monday morning, and there were many tourists in Jinxiu Valley. It was the place with the most tourists in our three days in Lushan. Maybe because Jinxiu Valley has convenient transportation and is not difficult to climb, it is a favorite place for tour groups. Many tourists, like Pipi, were excited to see monkeys, and many tourists took out food to feed the monkeys. A monkey made a sharp cry while eating, calling friends: "People are stupid and there is a lot of food, come quickly." This is good, there are bursts of noises between the trees, and seven or eight monkeys came. There was a mother monkey holding a baby monkey in her arms, another mother monkey holding two baby monkeys in her arms, and two monkeys fighting for food. Tourists who were watching the fun like Pipi were even happier, watching and commenting: "Look, this mother monkey eats by herself and doesn't give food to the baby monkey. The baby monkey wants to eat, and she beats the baby monkey." "Now she feeds the baby monkey." At this time, I saw a lady squatting to watch the monkeys. There was a plastic bag on her knees, which might contain food. Then a monkey jumped onto her knees at lightning speed and snatched the plastic bag. I was standing 3 meters away and was shocked. The tourists around also made a small commotion, but not long after, everyone's attention was attracted by other monkeys. As more and more tourists fed the monkeys, the monkeys began to be picky: they didn't eat steamed buns or dumplings, and fruits were the most popular. When we were about to reach the Fairy Cave, there was no trace of monkeys. Jinxiu Valley has a mountain wall on one side and a deep valley and mountain scenery on the other. After seeing Wulao Peak, Jinxiu Valley is just so-so. The only interesting thing is the famous "Sky Bridge". When I saw the pictures of the Sky Bridge online, I thought it looked like a broken bridge. When I saw it in person, I realized that it was the effect of parallax. There is actually a long distance between the two sides of the "Broken Bridge". However, the large cliff that stretched out still attracted many tourists. I couldn't take a single photo.
Jinxiu Valley is actually a glacial U-shaped valley, 1,600 meters long, which is the result of glacial erosion 1.1-90 million years ago. After water erosion and collapse, the valley was transformed into a cliff-like canyon. Because of the blooming mountain flowers in the valley, it has the reputation of "Jinxiu".
The current Jinxiu Valley is a beautiful valley about 1.5 kilometers long, which goes along the stone steps on the left side of the sky bridge to the Fairy Cave. The valley is full of cliffs, strange rocks, dangerous peaks, steep cliffs, etc. The scenery along the way is picturesque, and breathing the fresh air of the natural oxygen bar is refreshing. The most famous one is the sky bridge. Normally, you can see it from a distance and take a photo of the thrilling sky bridge by using the line of sight. However, we encountered heavy fog and could not see the sky bridge at the best viewing point. We could only see it when we got closer.
The scenery is OK, and the cultural atmosphere is stronger. Maybe an inconspicuous pavilion or a pine or cypress tree is a famous fragment in history. It feels very wonderful. It is suitable for walking slowly, watching slowly, and appreciating slowly.
From the overpass, follow the stone steps to the Immortal Cave, which is a beautiful valley about 1.5 kilometers long. This is Jinxiu Valley. It is said that it was the place where Huiyuan, a famous monk in the Jin Dynasty, picked flowers and herbs. Because the flowers bloom all year round, it is like brocade, hence the name. On the way, you will pass by: Overpass, Good Luck Stone, Yellow Clouds, Dangerous Peaks, Lixian Gate, Negotiation Platform, Guanmiao Pavilion, Immortal Cave, Shisong, Imperial Monument Pavilion and other attractions. After taking the West Line Sightseeing Bus to Huajing Station, the entrance to Jinxiu Valley is not far away, and across the road are the scenic spots Huajing and Ruqin Lake.
Across the flower path, the sky bridge, the lucky stone and the dangerous peak are all in the Splendid Valley. The scenery along the way is like a splendid painting, intoxicating.
The fourth small attraction on the second day, this is one of the 6 must-visit attractions recommended by the China-TravelNote APP. The scenery is really good! At the end is the Immortal Cave.
There are wishing trees, lucky stones, and sky bridges inside.
Jinxiu Valley, colorful mountains, spring all year round, Lushan is a highly recommended place
Jinxiu Valley is a beautiful valley about 1.5 kilometers long. You can visit it along the stone steps built along the cliffs.
The overpass is more fun, but you have to queue up to take pictures, and the rest is not that interesting.
Take the sightseeing bus from Lushan and get off at Huajing Station. The canyon is not big, but the scenery is really nice!
The Jinxiu Valley in Lushan Mountain has infinite scenery and is a famous natural landscape in Lushan Mountain.
Lushan Mountain, Huajing Area, Jinxiu Valley, very beautiful places.
Jinxiu Valley is a good place to watch the sunset. There are many monkeys here, so don't tease them.
The scenic spots in Lushan Scenic Area and the evergreen areas in the valleys are quite refreshing.
I originally thought that the West Line Scenic Area was mainly a cultural landscape, but I didn't expect that the natural scenery in Jinxiu Valley is also so beautiful. Walking along the mountain trail, you can see many small attractions. You won't feel tired if you stop and go. It is a scenic spot that cannot be missed.
It was quite interesting, but it was cloudy when I went there, so the photos were not very good.
The key to scenery is the weather. If there is no weather, it depends on the people.
The entrance to the Jinxiu Valley of Mount Lushan is opposite the flower path. When you enter, you first go to the sky bridge, then go all the way forward past the Good Luck Stone, the dangerous peak, and the Jinsong to the Fairy Cave. The scenery along the way is picturesque. It is a place highly recommended to visit when you come to Mount Lushan. The overall playing time is about an hour, which is quite tiring.
I went there at the end of August. It was very ordinary, but there were a lot of people. Many groups went here. It was crowded and a waste of time. If it wasn't spring or early summer, I don't think it's necessary to come here.
It takes about an hour to walk through the entire Jinxiu Valley, which is relatively easy and not tiring. Different angles produce different visual effects. The hundred-foot cliff does not seem deep in the vast spring scenery. The hundred-foot cliff is surrounded by endless green fields and blooming mountain flowers. Looking far into the distance, the mountains and rivers, the overlooking platform, have artificially drawn boundaries.
“In spring, there are hundreds of thousands of flowers, brilliant as fire. In early winter, the flowers are lush and green, and are adorned with red maples, making the eyes full of decorative patterns.” The ground is covered with red and purple flowers all year round, so it is named Jinxiu Valley.
Jinxiu Valley is opposite to Huajing and Ruqin Lake.
Flowers bloom here all year round, like brocade, hence the name. There are two viewing platforms at the beginning of Jinxiu Valley. Standing on the first viewing platform, the photos taken at the second viewing platform are very good.
In fact, Jinxiu Valley is not very tiring. There are some ups and downs stairs, but most of it is flat. There are not many stairs to climb to the dangerous peaks, so it is more suitable for the elderly and children to play.
Jinxiu Valley is considered to be the major scenic spot in Lushan Mountain. The whole route gives people a relatively complete feeling.
The road from Sanbaoshu to Huanglongtan is one of the most enjoyable ones.
It is definitely worth a visit. Although it is not as famous as Wulao Peak, the scenery of Jinxiu Valley is not much worse. It is equally beautiful and steep! The point is that it is not that difficult to walk.
There are too many people taking photos, so the only way to get good photos is to wait.
The scenery is not inferior to Wulao Peak, but the road is easy to walk and worth a visit. The whole route takes about an hour, and the entrances are only at the two ends, namely Xianren Cave and Tianqiao.
It is best to visit the Jinxiu Valley in Lushan when there is fog. If you visit it on a sunny day, it is actually a large canyon.
It is worth a visit, but it was raining when I went there, and there were many people and the road was slippery, which was very inconvenient, and the photos were not beautiful. It must be great on a sunny day!
13:07 Why are there so many padlocks here? I asked the cousin who sells things here, but he ignored me? !
Well, no matter where it is, just take a photo and leave, because there is no time!
How silly I am! This is the most beautiful peak in Jinxiu Valley!
Yes, I only figured out that this is a dangerous peak when I was writing my travel notes. Dangerous peak, dangerous peak, I almost went crazy
Jinxiu Valley is a valley between Ruqin Lake and Xianren Cave, with a natural Xianren Cave. There are many wild monkeys in it, which appear in the mountains and forests, and also on the road. Sometimes they even snatch snacks from tourists. Jinxiu Valley is a scenic spot in Lushan Ticket Scenic Spot. If the weather is not too hot, you can hike and breathe fresh air.
Lushan is really a holy place. The evening view of Jinxiu Valley is very nice! See the picture
A must-see place. And if time only allows for a one-day trip, it is recommended to go to Jinxiu Valley and Huajing. The sky bridge, dangerous peaks, fairy caves, and strong pines are all in Jinxiu Valley. The scenery is beautiful and you must go.
A beautiful canyon with a variety of trees and rocks.
From the overpass, follow the stone steps on the left to the Fairy Cave, which is a beautiful valley about 1.5 km long. This is the Lushan Jinxiu Valley. The valley is full of cliffs, strange rocks, steep cliffs, and dangerous peaks. The scenery along the way is like a splendid painting, which is intoxicating. The most famous scene is the overpass, where there is also a legend about Zhu Yuanzhang.
A must-visit natural attraction in Lushan, the scenery is beautiful! You will pass by many small attractions!
Jinxiu Valley is a 1.5-kilometer mountain trail from Ruqin Lake to Xianren Cave. The main attractions include: sky bridge and dangerous peaks. The tour takes about an hour.
The overpass is a little interesting, but I don't really care about the rest.
The U-shaped valley was formed by glacial movement. There is a lot of mountain fog in the valley and the scenery is spectacular.
The scenery in Jinxiu Valley is great. If the weather is good (sunny or foggy), the scenery will be even better! There are many attractions along the way in Jinxiu Valley, which are worth visiting.
In fact, the most interesting attraction in the entire trip to Lushan is Jinxiu Valley, which completely exceeded my expectations! Jinxiu Valley, Huajing and Ruqin Lake are very close. You can walk all the way up from Xianren Cave to Jinxiu Valley, but it is uphill and tiring. If you enter from the gate of Jinxiu Valley, it is basically a downhill road all the way, passing the sky bridge, the cliff where many people take pictures, and then all the way to Xianren Cave. But the road is basically easy to walk. It is very pleasant to stop and take pictures along the way. It is not affected by the weather. The scenery along the way is beautiful, with a wide field of vision and layers. You can see little monkeys on this road. They are not afraid of people at all. They will look at you when you shout. They are very cute! But please don't feed them food randomly!
Because of the sea of clouds, I didn't see the view of the valley bottom, but the sea of clouds was also nice
It's not tiring to walk, the scenery is really beautiful, it's worth a visit
Jinxiu Valley in Lushan Mountain is formed by the intersection of Dalin Peak and Tianchi Mountain. Due to the Quaternary glacier action, Jinxiu Valley, a mountain depression facing southwest, was repeatedly carved by glaciers to form a valley with a flat bottom and steep walls. "In spring, there are hundreds of thousands of flowers, brilliant as fire, and in early winter, the green is not peeled, and the red maples are embellished, which is also full of carvings." The ground is full of red and purple flowers all year round, and the flowers are in clusters, so it is named Jinxiu.
It is worth a visit. There are several scenic spots along the way in Jinxiu Valley, including the Fairy Cave, the Lucky Stone, and the Sky Bridge... It is also magnificent when you look down.
Jinxiu Valley is a valley between Ruqin Lake and Xianren Cave, with beautiful scenery. There is a fairy cave in the sky, and the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peaks. This is where it is written. There are many wild monkeys in it, which will appear in the mountains and forests and on the road. Sometimes they will snatch snacks from tourists. It is best not to take food with children, be careful that the monkeys scare the children. The overpass is a great place to take pictures from a borrowed position. As long as you are creative enough, you can take many seemingly thrilling photos.
The scenery is not that great, but there are monkeys along the way, which is quite attractive. It takes about an hour to walk.
The entrance is not far from Ruqin Lake. The whole journey takes 90 minutes. Strange pines and rocks.
The Jinxiu Valley in Lushan is quite beautiful! I took photos of the sunset in Jinxiu Valley.
Due to the Quaternary glaciation, Jinxiu Valley, a mountain depression facing southwest, was repeatedly carved by glaciers to form a valley with a flat bottom and steep walls. "In spring, there are hundreds of thousands of flowers, brilliant as fire, and in early winter, they are green and unstripped, and the red maples are embellished, and they are also full of carvings." The ground is full of red and purple flowers in all seasons, and the flowers are in clusters, so it is named Jinxiu. Jinxiu Valley in Lushan Mountain has flowers all year round, brilliant as brocade, rugged rocks, and magnificent scenery. In addition, there are clouds and mists in the valley from time to time, which arouses people's infinite imagination, just as the Song Dynasty poet Kong Wuzhong chanted: Jiangcheng is full of flowers in March, and the light purple and deep red are in the valley. Lushan is the most beautiful place, and I came here in the autumn wind.
Jinxiu Valley is the easiest and most cost-effective place to visit in Lushan. It is not far from Guling and is very close to walk. Very good,
In fact, I can hardly remember what this attraction is called. When I was looking through the photos, I found that it was a very dangerous place. There were no fences, and many people took photos outside the yellow safety line. But the best scenery is on the dangerous peak, and the road is not difficult to walk.
The most important thing is of course to see the overpass, but the scenery along the way is also beautiful.
I personally like this place, it's better than San Diequan, the scenery is beautiful
There are many small attractions in Jinxiu Valley, including the sky bridge, the lucky stone, etc. Some boulders are right on the edge of the cliff, which can take very exciting aerial photos! Of course, the scenery of Jinxiu Valley is also amazing! How can it be described with just one word "beautiful"!!!
The natural remains of the glacial canyon are perfectly formed by nature.
The valley is dotted with cliffs, strange rocks, steep cliffs and dangerous peaks. Crossing the sky bridge and climbing the dangerous peaks, the scenery along the way is like a splendid painting, which is intoxicating.
The scenery in the valley is quite spectacular. Tourists who don't have the energy to climb Wulao Peak can just look at this place.
The foggy Jinxiu Valley is the most beautiful, like a fairyland.
Jinxiu Valley is still very beautiful and spectacular. I like the sky bridge, haha, and the Calabash Brothers.
We walked along the road until we reached the lucky stone. A middle-aged male tour guide called out to his group, "Come on, come on. Everyone, come and touch the lucky stone. One touch brings wealth, two touches bring career luck, and three touches bring luck with love. All men should touch it three times."
The scenery from the sky bridge to the Fairy Cave is great, and the side face of the giant is impressive
It is a pleasure to walk slowly here. You can see many beautiful paths, lucky stones, overpasses...
After exiting the Flower Path, we walked along the mountain road around the sky bridge and visited Jinxiu Valley and Xianren Cave. This mountain road has a lot of tourists. Together with the Flower Path, it is a must-see attraction for tourists on the west line. All tour groups will take you to these attractions.
The ancient ice age has left too many traces on Mount Lushan. The endless deep ravines in Jinxiu Valley and the Iron Wall Peak of Sandiequan are all traces of glacial erosion. People today can only marvel at the wonders of nature and take photos as a souvenir.
Beautiful valley, a little steep, the mountain is refreshing
The flower path leads to the overpass, passing through Jinxiu Valley, Xianren Cave and Imperial Stele Pavilion.
The one-hour flat mountain road here is actually dominated by tour groups.
The scenery is beautiful with clouds and mist, but there are too many people and I don’t really like that kind of atmosphere.
I found a rock where no one was taking pictures, and quietly sat down on the edge of the yellow line (safety line). I stretched my legs, and there was a bottomless abyss under my feet. Looking down, I saw mist like clouds and fog blowing in my face. Looking up and far away, the city was as small as the palm of my hand.
You have to go in from the Ruqin Lake! It's downhill! Otherwise it's uphill! The physical exertion is completely different! The scenery of Jinxiu Valley is pretty good! In the afternoon, the fog had been dispersed, and you can see scattered lakes and winding roads in the distance. There are also many lazy monkeys sleeping on the roadside~ When you walk to the end, you pass by the Immortal Cave. I stood there and felt that it was the Immortal Cave, but it was just a cave with Taoist priests sitting there. The exit is the Imperial Monument Pavilion, where the male and female protagonists of Lushan Love took shelter from the rain! There is a water seller at the exit, 6 yuan a bottle! It's even worse than Sandiequan! Take the shuttle bus and you will soon reach the flower path!
From Jinxiu Valley, you can see the Jiujiang city below, which is worth a visit.
It's worth a visit. The short journey and the fog along the way make you feel like you are walking in a fairyland.
Because of the heavy fog in the next few days, I think Jinxiu Valley is the best place to see the mountain scenery.
It is more considerate to describe it as exquisite and spectacular. It is really happy to stroll in the garden.
Jinxiu Valley is very beautiful. It was foggy when we went there, so we couldn't see the whole picture. Looking at the scenery gave us a feeling of ascending to heaven, floating in the air. It's very good and worth recommending. It's right next to the flower path.
The scenery of Mianxiu Valley is nice! It is worth a visit! In my opinion, it is the most essential part of Lushan
Today’s goals are two big ones, Jinxiu Valley and Tiechuan Peak, both favorite places for poets.
Tip: Jinxiu Valley is formed by the intersection of Dalin Peak and Tianchi Mountain. Due to the Quaternary glacier, Jinxiu Valley, a mountain depression facing southwest, was repeatedly cut by glaciers to form a valley with a flat bottom and steep walls. "In spring, there are hundreds of thousands of flowers, brilliant as fire, and in early winter, they are lush and green, and the red maples are embellished, and they are also full of carvings." The ground is red and purple all year round, and the flowers are in clusters, so it is named Jinxiu. Opposite the Ruqin Lake in Lushan is the entrance to Jinxiu Valley. After 200 meters, you can reach the sky bridge. From the sky bridge, follow the stone steps on the left to the Fairy Cave. It is a beautiful valley about 1.5km long. This is Jinxiu Valley. Tickets are free (included in the ticket for Lushan Scenic Area)
The first target is Jinxiu Valley.
Jinxiu Valley, as its name suggests, the scenery along the way is like a beautiful painting, intoxicating.
"Returning home with a smile is the morning, and it is good to be the host of the famous mountains. Encountering the five lakes, go with excitement and invite the spring in the beautiful valley."
This is a poem by Wang Anshi, a writer of the Northern Song Dynasty, describing the Jinxiu Valley of Mount Lu.
Thousands of rocks compete for beauty in the valley, and countless ravines wind around. The cliffs are natural, the stone forests are tall and straight, and the steep cliffs and peaks are like the roaring lion, the leaping tiger, the climbing monkey, and the sitting immortal, all of which are lifelike.
In Jinxiu Valley, it is very interesting to look at the mountains, rocks, clouds and fog. As the mountain road winds, completely different beautiful scenery appears before your eyes every time you walk a distance.
There are several huge rocks in the valley, overlooking the abyss. It is very artistic to stand on them and take pictures.
