The various scenic spots in Lushan are scattered. If you go alone, you can decide where to go or not according to your own preferences. I arrived at Guling Town at around 12 noon. There is no time limit for the tickets to the Lushan Scenic Area. You can buy a half-price adult ticket for 80 yuan on *哪哪网. After arriving at Guling Town, I first bought a sightseeing bus card that required fingerprint recording, and then went to Huajing and Lulin Lake. These two are in the same place. I grew up next to a small reservoir and didn't feel anything. Then I went to the Iron Chain Bridge, which required buying a cable car ticket to go down. The round-trip fee was 50. If you go in the morning, you can only buy the downward ticket, and then you can cross the mountains. I had to go back. It was past three o'clock when I went there. I was afraid I couldn't go back, so I had to take a bus back to town. The biggest regret was that I went back to the hotel to rest. I went to see Lushan Romance at 7 o'clock in the evening. The movie was good, but the cinema was very simple. The door kept banging while I was watching it. I went back to sleep at night. The next morning at 7:30, I took the east line bus to Wulao Peak. It took 2 hours to reach Wulao Peak, and then went down the mountain to Sandiequan. It took 3 hours to go back and forth. I returned to Guling Town and went to Jinxiu Valley. I had a close contact with wild monkeys. I left at the Xianren Cave scenic spot and took a bus home. The whole trip cost between 1000-1100.

Lushan Scenic Area is divided into several scenic spots, each with a different location, all centered on Guling Town (this place is a tourist distribution center, and also a village town with accommodation, you must buy a ticket to enter this town). Our family bought tickets from the ticket office at the foot of the mountain and drove to Guling Town for about 40 minutes on the winding mountain road. The east route includes: Meilu Villa-Lushan Conference Memorial Hall-Lulin Lake-Hanpokou-Wulao Peak-San Diequan, and the west route includes: Huajing-Ruqin Lake-Jinxiu Valley-Xianren Cave-Wulongtan-Huanglongtan-Sanbaoshu-Huanglong Temple-Lulin Lake. Each route took a day to play.

You must get off in Jiujiang when taking the train. It is more convenient to go to the scenic spot from Jiujiang.

Lushan Mountain is famous for its grandeur, strangeness, danger and beauty, and is known as "the most beautiful mountain in the world". It is a world cultural heritage, a world geological park, a national key scenic spot, a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction, one of the top ten famous mountains in China, one of the top ten most beautiful mountains in China, a national key cultural relic protection unit, one of the four major summer resorts in China, and one of the first national civilized scenic tourist area demonstration sites.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with the scenery, but it has changed after it became a tourist attraction. It was very cold and foggy today. Some attractions were obviously not open, but we bought tickets for a certain attraction. The thing is, we arrived at the dam reservoir, got off the bus, listened to the strong recommendation of a middle-aged man, and went to the side to buy 3 adult tickets for a certain attraction and a round-trip cable car for 99 yuan, and a student ticket for 75 yuan, and then took it to the ticket office for ticket inspection. Then the ticket office did not have this 99 yuan item at all, which was very surprising. However, the ticket office only had a round-trip cable car ticket for 50 yuan, but the ticket inspection passed. After taking the cable car to arrive, the fog was very heavy and we could not change it. We could accept it, but when we got there, we found that no one was selling tickets. In addition, the food in the scenic area was very expensive and tasted very bad! We had dinner at a farm, and we started to clean up the table before we finished eating. It was very expensive and tasted very bad. I don’t know if this is a unified phenomenon. In order to see the scenery, you have to prepare dry food yourself.

If you go to Lushan for many days, it is best to stay in Guling Town. You must buy a sightseeing bus ticket (even if you drive yourself), which is very cost-effective and can take you to every scenic spot. You must follow the map given by the official Lushan Mountain. Do not go to the scenic spots that are not on the map. They are all privately contracted and cost-effective attractions. For example, there will be a cable car for you to take at the Hanpokou Scenic Spot. This cable car leads to the Dakou Waterfall Scenic Spot. The Dakou Waterfall is a privately contracted scenic spot and requires another ticket. It is boring and cost-effective, so don't take this cable car. Go back from Hanpokou and go to the direction of San Diequan. San Diequan requires a long mountain climb. Be prepared, the waterfall is worth seeing (Figure 1 San Diequan). The scenery of Lushan is not very beautiful. The most worthwhile place is the Lushan Conference Memorial Hall. There will be tour guides pestering you on Lushan Mountain, saying that they will take you to explain the East Line or West Line for 200 yuan. It is unnecessary. What they say is not worth the money.

Mount Lu really refreshed my understanding of national key scenic spots. Mount Lu is really big. From the entrance of the scenic area to Guling Town, I vomited by car. It is too far and too winding. The bus connecting the scenic spots costs 80 per person, but it is free in Wuyi Mountain. You can experience it yourself! The facilities in the scenic area are old. The toilet is far away and there is only one toilet. It is very dirty and there is no water. It costs money to get to the scenic spot. The San Diequan is very famous. It takes 80 per person to climb the mountain back and forth for one or two hours because it is too steep. People who have taken the trip say it is not worth it. Not only is the money not worth it, but the physical strength is not worth it. The most famous scenic spot is like this. Don't even think about seeing anything else! I will never come to Mount Lu in this life.

The scenery of Lushan is great, even in the fog it is still unique. It feels like fog in the clouds. The whole mountain is not very strenuous to walk. Did we pass by "Monkey Mountain"? It is said that there are many monkeys, but when I went there, there was not a single monkey hair. I did see a warning that monkeys cannot be fed (maybe there is). Things worth noting: the temperature will be a few degrees lower after entering the mountain, so be careful to keep warm and bring rain gear. It is very humid. Sometimes it rains for no reason (I got soaked anyway)

One of the ten famous mountains in China, it is located in Lushan City, Jiangxi Province. Lushan Mountain is oval in shape, a typical horst-type block mountain, about 25 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide, with more than 90 peaks, and the main peak, Hanyang Peak, is 1,474 meters above sea level. Lushan Mountain is on the World Cultural Heritage List, famous for its grandeur, strangeness, danger and beauty, and is known as "Kuanglu is the most beautiful in the world". In May 2016, I spent a fairy-like day in Lushan Mountain. The air was fresh, which can be called a "lung cleansing trip". It is also a holy place for taking photos. The literary style is revealed everywhere, especially Su Dongpo's "Looking from the side, it is a ridge, and from the side, it is a peak. It is different from the distance and height. I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, because I am in this mountain." This is the prototype of Saint Seiya Lushan Shenglongba. Walking on each land, you will have different feelings.

By The world is so big |

Because of my friends' comments on Mount Lu, I didn't have high hopes for this trip, but I gained a lot. I think I have fallen in love with Mount Lu. After coming to Mount Lu, I realized that this is not just a place to climb mountains. There are mountains and waters, lakes and pavilions, villas in various styles of various countries, and ruins of political revolutions. Mount Lu is a famous mountain where scenery and culture coexist. This is its charm. You can go to Wulao Peak to watch the sunrise. The number of villas from various countries on Mount Lushan is second only to Gulangyu Island. This may be because tour groups only visit a few open villas and do not visit other unopened villas. Therefore, only a few individual tourists visit the large villa area. There is another place that you must visit on Mount Lushan, which is the former site of the Lushan Conference. After visiting the former site of the Lushan Conference, you will see the Lushan Building from the exit. It used to be the base of the Kuomintang Officer Training Corps, and now it is open as the only star-rated hotel in Lushan. There are tour groups for one-day tours of Mount Lushan in Jiujiang, but you must not join them. You can't do anything in Lushan in one day, which is equivalent to a wasted trip. Mount Lushan has convenient transportation, and there are all kinds of accommodation and restaurants. It is recommended to travel independently, and there is no need to join a group. Tourists with sufficient time can stay in Lushan for a few more days, even a month, or even a year to experience the beautiful scenery of Mount Lushan in four seasons. Mount Lushan is a tourist destination suitable for a short vacation, so it is not recommended to buy sightseeing bus tickets, because you will miss some beautiful scenery while sitting in the bus. Moreover, there are trails between many scenic spots, so it doesn’t take long to reach the destination by crossing the mountains and hills, instead of spending more time walking along the road.

By Wen Shuai takes you to see the world |

After getting off the bus, you can feel that Lushan is a very "people-friendly" scenic spot. There are all kinds of shops here, and the prices are similar to those at the foot of the mountain. Looking down from the square, many buildings are still under construction. Whether by the road or in the villa yard, you can see thick and broad sycamore trees. The lush sycamore trees are like a big umbrella, blocking all the sunlight. The accommodation conditions in Lushan are relatively good and the price is relatively affordable. The buildings in Lushan are all built in imitation of villas. The floors are not high, but they are very exquisite. Lushan at night is charming. All the scenes in the movie "Lushan Love" were shot in the scenic area. The literary and artistic atmosphere is very strong. Although it is a bit "made", it is worth recommending.

By Scholar's spirit |

Mount Lu is one of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks. According to historical records, during the Zhou Dynasty, seven brothers of the Kuang family went up the mountain to practice Taoism and built huts as their homes, so Mount Lu is also known as Kuanglu. Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Lushan Thatched Cottage": "Kuanglu is a mountain of extraordinary beauty, the best in the world."

In 725 AD, the 25-year-old Li Bai came to Mount Lu. Standing at the foot of Xianglu Peak, he looked at the Lushan Waterfall from afar. He was inspired to write a poem "Viewing the Lushan Waterfall".

The sun shines on the incense burner, producing purple smoke, and in the distance I can see a waterfall hanging in front of the river

The waterfall drops three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way is falling from the sky.

As soon as this poem was published, the Lushan Waterfall became famous all over the world. "The waterfall falls three thousand feet straight down, and it seems like the Milky Way falls from the sky" became the best advertising slogan for Lushan.

The trip to Lushan was originally planned last year, but due to work reasons it did not take place and was postponed to this year.

Mount Lu, also known as Kuangshan and Kuanglu, is located in Lushan City, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. It is located in Wuyuan Poyang Lake in the east, Nanchang Tengwang Pavilion in the south, Beijing-Kowloon Railway in the west, and the Yangtze River in the north. It stands on the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plain and the shore of Poyang Lake. It is about 25 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide. The main peak is Hanyang Peak, with an altitude of 1,474 meters. The mountain is oval in shape, a typical horst-type block mountain.

Lushan is famous for its majesty, strangeness, danger and beauty. It is known as the "holy mountain of humanities" and is known as "the most beautiful mountain in the world". There are 171 peaks named since ancient times, and there are 26 hills, 20 valleys, 16 caves and 22 strange rocks scattered among the peaks. The water flows in the river valley and develops cracks, forming many rapids and waterfalls, 22 waterfalls, 18 streams and 14 lakes. The most famous Sandiequan Waterfall has a drop of 155 meters and is known as "If you haven't visited Sandiequan, you are not considered a visitor to Lushan". And our first stop today is the Sandiequan Waterfall in Lushan.

Lushan is famous, but there is fog on the mountain for more than 200 days a year, so you have to rely on luck to see the scenery (the weather forecast is for reference only). Friends who travel by public transportation are advised to take the bus to Jiujiang, and then take the bus to the North Gate Visitor Center. Lushan Station is not convenient.

By Yiyi |

We drove directly from Jiujiang to Mount Lushan. About half an hour later, we arrived at the ticket office and tourist transfer service center at the north gate of Mount Lushan. If you come to Mount Lushan by public transportation, you can buy tickets on the first floor here and then go directly to the second floor to transfer to the scenic area bus to go up the mountain. The ticket to Mount Lushan is 160 yuan, and the sightseeing bus is 70 yuan. You can take the scenic area shuttle bus unlimited times within 7 days, which is quite cost-effective.

When we arrived, there was almost no one in the ticket hall (probably due to the epidemic), and only one ticket window was open. They asked us if we were driving. After knowing that we were driving, they asked us to go directly to the North Gate to buy tickets. The vehicle entering the mountain was 45 yuan/vehicle, which didn't seem expensive. By the way, you need to buy tickets for Mount Lu with your ID card, one ticket per person with real name, and there is a simplified version of the Mount Lu tourist map on the back of the ticket.

After driving into Mount Lushan, the nightmare began. The winding mountain road and the visibility of about 5 to 8 meters of thick fog made it hard for even me, who usually doesn't get carsick, to bear it. I felt dizzy all the time. Now let me show you how the fog in Mount Lushan is. No wonder Su Shi of the Song Dynasty wrote the poem "I don't know the true face of Mount Lushan, because I am in this mountain". How can you know the true face of Mount Lushan in such a thick fog? !

After driving on various "drifting" mountain roads for about an hour (it's only about 20 kilometers, you can imagine how slow we drove), we finally arrived at Guling Town in Lushan before my stomach churned and I was about to vomit!

The Lushan Scenic Area covers a wide area. Guling Town is a town located in the scenic area, with accommodation, restaurants, convenience stores and more.

The distance from Guling Street to the scenic spots of Lushan is quite far and not suitable for walking. Therefore, the scenic area has set up a scenic sightseeing bus for tourists to travel. The ticket price is 70 yuan per person and it is valid for 7 days. It can be used repeatedly within 7 days. The sightseeing bus takes two routes, the east line and the west line. The east line is magnificent, mainly including Pokou, Wulao Peak and Sandiequan and other attractions. It takes a long time. The west line is beautiful, mainly including Huajing, Xianren Cave, Power Station Dam and other attractions.

Lushan Scenic Area, under the jurisdiction of Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, is located 36 kilometers south of Jiujiang City, with the Yangtze River to the north and Poyang Lake to the south. It is about 25 kilometers long from north to south and about 20 kilometers wide from east to west.

Most of the mountains in the scenic area are over 1,000 meters above sea level. The main peak, Hanyang Peak, is 1,474 meters above sea level. It is a famous tourist scenic spot and summer resort in my country. It was listed on the "World Natural and Cultural Heritage List" in 1996.

By The highest good is like water |

Mount Lu is majestic, with many steep cliffs and large fractures on the east and west sides. The main scenic spots of Mount Lu are in the southern part of the mountain, with a history of thousands of years. The main scenic spots include Guanyin Bridge, Bailu Cave, Xiufeng, Taohuayuan, Zhou Yu Dianjiangtai, Ailian Pond, and Sandiequan. The main attractions on the mountain include Xianren Cave, Hanpokou, Meilu, and the meeting site. Mount Lu is foggy all year round due to its geographical location and humid air, so some people don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because they are in the mountain. Must be highly recommended

The filming location of Water Curtain Cave in Journey to the West



After coming out, we took the cable car to the suspension bridge.



It's also good for viewing the scenery.



There are several places to take the cable car in Lushan, you can choose



Including Pokou, Huajing, Botanical Gardens



I also recommend everyone to go for a walk, because it's nice to take pictures.



The babies in the lower reaches of Lushan must be reminded



San Diequan promised to put it at the end of the itinerary



Otherwise, you will only have leg pain.



Climbing San Diequan is too tiring, go down the mountain first and then go up the mountain



It is recommended that elderly people who are too old and physically weak should not go down



But it doesn’t matter if you have money, there will be people carrying sedan chairs on the roadside.

Mount Lushan in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, has a long history and is well-known.

Li Bai's waterfall falls to the sky, while Su Shi does not know the root of Taoism.

It covers an area of more than 300 square kilometers and has more than 90 peaks.

The landforms are complex and unique, and the environment is beautiful and well-received.

There are streams flowing through valleys, caves and waterfalls in green mountains and clear waters.

Guests come here because of its reputation, and it is mutually beneficial to come back.

The scenery of Ruqin Lake and Lulin Lake is very beautiful, especially in the early morning; Huajing is famous, and Jinxiu Valley is worth a visit; because I didn’t have a good time to visit the villa area in China when I first visited it, I also went down the mountain to San Diequan, but this was a big mistake. I should have entered from the East Gate of Lushan Mountain and walked back when I saw the spring. It was too tiring to go down the mountain. I was exhausted from climbing. Lushan is still a place suitable for leisurely strolling if you have time.

In the morning, take a bus at Jiujiang Bus Station, arrive at the tourist center at the foot of the mountain to buy tickets, continue to take the bus to get off at Guniuling, walk through the tunnel, walk downhill for 100 meters, and buy a bus ticket. Follow the route to visit. There are two bus lines, which are not connected to each other, one to the hydropower station and the other to Hanpokou. The two directions must be connected by foot between the hydropower station and Lulin Lake. The hydropower station is located at a relatively low position, and Lulin Lake is located at a high position. If you walk from the power station to Lulin Lake, it is quite tiring, and it is not easy to go the other way because the downhill hurts the knee joints. It is even more tiring to visit the waterfall. Lushan is very famous. In addition to natural landscapes, there are also some cultural landscapes. I prefer natural scenery. Relatively speaking, the scenery is not too exciting.

One of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, although some people say that the mountain scenery is far inferior to that of Yunnan, Sichuan and other places, we have to consider its geographical location.

Everyone must buy a mountain ticket when they reach the foot of the mountain. The Lushan Ticket Office is about an hour away from Guling Town. Ticket sales start at the foot of the mountain, and after this is the winding mountain road.

You must buy a sightseeing bus in the scenic area. The bus connects each scenic spot and you can go as you like. To prevent the abuse of the bus card, you need to check your fingerprint when you get on the bus. The ticket price is 80 yuan and is valid for seven days. I wonder if there are any great people who don't buy tickets and just walk down.

The air on the mountain was very good, the sun was shining brightly, and there was a vast expanse of view in front of me. I could see the town in the distance, but the slight haze made it look a little blurry.

Let's talk about the shortcomings. Overall, I feel that there is really nothing special about it. The scenery is average and it is more famous than the actual scenery.

It's so comfortable! In the hot summer, you should go to the mountains to stay for a few days to cool down. The Yangtze River Delta in the past few summer vacations was really hot.

A highly recommended resort...

It is definitely worth a visit, with rich history and picturesque scenery.

There are both small cars and buses to Mount Lushan. Small cars do not have a fixed departure time. Each ticket has a serial number and leaves when it is full. Buses have fixed times, and the nearest one is at 11 o'clock. Under the lobbying of the ticket seller, and thinking that I would not feel dizzy on the winding mountain road, I bought a bus. The ticket price was 16.5 yuan. During the one hour of waiting for the bus, I found that the small car had already left three times.

It is said that there are 400 bends on the north line of Mount Lushan, and fewer on the south line. Although I was mentally prepared for the winding mountain road, I still underestimated the difficulty. I, who never get carsick, felt uncomfortable just halfway through the journey, and many passengers on the same bus also had reactions. In the hope of getting out of the mood as soon as possible, after about 40 minutes of driving, I finally saw the archway of Mount Lushan and officially entered the Mount Lushan Scenic Area. During the tour, I learned that there is also a cable car to the foot of Mount Lushan, so I wanted to try it. The return trip started at 16:00 on the last day, and the cable car station was 10 minutes away from the foot of the mountain.

The scenery is pretty good! It is best to find the price on the mountain, especially the hotel, by yourself so that it is easier to bargain. Don't stay at the marked price. It is recommended to walk all the way for two days of climbing. The scenery along the way is good. If you want tips, you can Didi to me.

In June 2012, I joined an outdoor team's Lushan activity. I had high hopes before signing up, but I found that the scenery was not as good as I had imagined, and the culture there was very poor, and tourists were seriously overcharged, which seriously affected my mood for the trip.

The saddest thing about traveling alone is that no one helps take photos. The reason for going to Lushan is probably that it often appears in the poems I learned before. In order to avoid the flow of people, I chose the travel time from September 29 (Saturday) to October 1 (Monday). Indeed, there are not many people at this time. Although according to the innkeeper, Lushan has always been crowded with tourists, I felt deserted when I occasionally walked in the woods in the first two days. Lushan has distinct seasons. In summer, you can escape the heat, in autumn, you can see red maples, and in winter, you can see snow scenery. It is said that the end of October is the best time, when all the red maples are red, and you can see the mountains are red and the forests are dyed. I went to Lushan in October purely because I wanted to go out for a walk during the National Day holiday. Lushan can be almost finished in two days. There are many undeveloped attractions. If you want to understand and play thoroughly, two days are not enough. The mountain is at least the temperature of a windbreaker colder than the mountain. When watching the sunrise, I added a thin down jacket but couldn't resist the cold. In less than two and a half days, I basically played the main attractions, and I was very satisfied. Overall, I was impressed by the view from Wulao Peak, the night view and sunrise of Xiaotianchi, the rushing water of Sandiequan (although many people, even those who traveled on the same day, felt a little disappointed, but forgive me for still feeling strange as someone who has never seen a waterfall), and finally the white deer in Bailudong Academy. I personally feel that other attractions are a bit boring, which is not to belittle them, but it is just that I went there at the wrong time and could not feel its most beautiful time. This brings us to the distinct seasons of Lushan. I saw many attractions on postcards of Lushan that can be very beautiful and interesting, but we cannot enjoy the beauty of the four seasons at the same time in one season. This is the wonder of nature, and we can only cherish the beauty we feel. For the flower path, you should see "The fragrance of April is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom". The scenery of Jinxiu Valley that I walked into directly was not as interesting as the forest from Sanbao Tree to the dam line (I only found out that it was due to ignorance that I didn't see the mystery of some scenery after listening to the guide). The "Natural Immortal Cave" attracted my attention by a leopard cat. I didn't go to Hanpokou to watch the sunrise, so I couldn't appreciate the beauty of Hanpokou. Please forgive me for the historical and cultural attractions. I am not interested in politics. Regarding the winding mountain road in Lushan, I was very confident that I would not vomit, but halfway through the car, I heard the sound of vomiting from the back, and a sour smell slowly filled the car. Finally, before arriving at Guling Town, I couldn't help it. Tip: It is recommended to bring a bottle of water and sip it when you feel uncomfortable.

Kuang Lu, Ji Xianlin wrote: "Cultural Holy Mountain". This mountain has too many stories and writings left by literati and politicians from all dynasties, and people of different nationalities also regard it as a paradise. The lake, rocks, cliffs, monkeys, and water of Lushan Mountain are all so unique. It is a place you must visit several times in your life. Don't be in a hurry, take your time to see and appreciate it, and listen to its stories.

I have been longing for Mount Lushan for a long time. This summer, we finally made the trip. We took the train to Mount Lushan, then took the cable car up the mountain and stayed there for one night. The first day of this trip was foggy, and it was raining and windy, so we had to stay in the hotel that day, which was a pity. However, the rain and fog stopped on the second day, and we still had a relatively cloudy day, so we ran around the main attractions on the second day and almost broke our legs. Mount Lushan is not a steep scenic mountain, but it is more famous for its humanities. However, we didn't have much time to visit, so we can only come back next time. In short, Mount Lushan is still worth a visit. Maybe we can come to see the snow and rime in winter next time, which must be very nice.

I went there a few days ago. It was actually pretty good, but I heard that it was free for foreigners during the National Day holiday, so I decided to give it the lowest score.

A very worthwhile place to visit, especially as a summer resort~

Throughout the ages, one of the mountains that has been praised and painted the most by literati and poets is probably Mount Lushan, which can be regarded as the first. Mount Lushan is famous for its beauty and waterfalls. Setting Mount Lushan as a destination is also to appreciate her style. The overall feeling of Mount Lushan is not as impressive as imagined. After all, in addition to the scenery, it is given more history, but the air and environment are really great! Due to time and physical strength, we gave up San Diequan. Although it is a bit regrettable, I looked at the photos on the Internet and felt that it was not worth challenging the three-hour round trip, so I gave up reluctantly... I hope I can make up for it in the future. It is worth mentioning that the mountain road in Mount Lushan is really too tortuous! Half an hour of winding mountain road, fast and many, there is almost no straight line between bends, half an hour bee bee can be converted to what frequency, when I sat on the top of the mountain, I felt carsick and nauseous, you know, I don’t usually get carsick... So it is recommended to bring some carsickness medicine. You must buy a ticket for scenic transportation. Although the scenic spots are not very far apart, it is quite tiring to walk. Lushan is divided into two tourist routes, the East Line and the West Line. The West Line is a semicircular route, and the East Line is an angled route covering Meilu. The West Line is mainly a cultural landscape and a relaxing tour route. The East Line, including Pokou, Wulao Peak and Sandiequan, are very physically demanding mountain climbing routes. Therefore, it is best to stay for more than two days when visiting Lushan, and to divide the East and West Lines into two days. Even so, it is very tiring to put the three scenic spots on the East Line for one day. If you don't have enough time and you don't particularly like humanities, you can appropriately give up the old meeting site and other places, walk around, breathe fresh air, enjoy the cool temperature, and feel better when you are a little more comfortable. Huajing and Ruqin Lake are together, and Jinxiu Valley is on the other side of the road. It takes only half an hour to see Jinxiu Valley. Ruqin Lake and Huajing take 1 to 2 hours, and Xianren Cave takes 1 hour. I checked some photos on Fengwo before and consulted the hotel staff. They said that the west route is mainly the flower path, such as Qin Lake, Jinxiu Valley, and Xianren Cave, so the route around the power station dam was abandoned. Lulin Lake will pass by on the east route to Hanpokou on the second day. You can see it quickly in the car, which is also considered to have seen it~

There are too many cultural and historical information in Lushan, not just natural scenery. Natural scenery is the foundation, and for thousands of years, it has continuously derived the charm and wonderful writing from the beautiful scenery. A gate archway in Lushan Scenic Area is majestic and majestic, matching the natural beauty of Lushan. It has various certification titles, which is true. It is a perfect combination of geological sites, history, culture, plants and scenic spots.

Huajing Park is located on the bank of Ruqin Lake, 2 kilometers southwest of Guling Street. It is said that this is the place where the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi wrote the poem "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple". "In April, the flowers on earth are gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom. I long for spring to return and cannot find it." Therefore, later generations called this place "Bai Sima Huajing"

It is indeed a good place to escape the summer heat! I came to Lushan for the first time on July 30, 2017. I basically visited various scenic spots in two days, but the schedule was too tight! Some of them were just a quick visit, and San Diequan and Wu Lao Peak were particularly physically demanding! It is recommended to have enough time and allocate it reasonably! Lushan is famous for its strange beauty! I hope to have the opportunity to visit again!

The management of Lushan is much better now than before. The surrounding facilities are under construction and improvement.

The trip to Lushan was really worthwhile. Although it was a group tour, the itinerary of CYTS was still good. Except for the poor food and the lack of shopping, we did all the things we should do!

I went there in winter and it was snowing. It was so beautiful. The Lulin Lake on the top of Mount Lu was even more beautiful. The water was very clear. I like the scenery of mountains and rivers the most, and I don’t like cities with steel and concrete.

At the north entrance of Lushan Mountain, the huge ticket hall was closed and empty.

Here you can see the true appearance of Mount Lushan and experience the feeling of "looking from the side you see a mountain and looking from the front you see a peak."

The misty Lushan Mountain, with moist air, is so beautiful that I can't tell its true appearance.

By Big fat little Linlin |

Lushan is a 5A-level scenic spot, and I think it is well worth the 180 yuan.

The most famous scenery of Lushan is Wulao Peak and Sandiequan. Due to weather reasons and my husband and I's physical strength, we decided to give up. Although we can't say we are not a Lushan tourist if we don't see Sandiequan, Lushan has 360° beauty.

Looking around, you can see the mountains and forests in the distance where it is raining. There is a thick layer of clouds floating in the sky, which is constantly drifting towards the east. The microclimate on Mount Lushan may be a unique area of several hundred square meters, which can be said to be varied.

This reminds me of a saying: "We cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because we are already in it."

I think it should be "Just because I am in the clouds and fog."

After the rain, the scenery of Mount Lushan is different from that of a sunny day. Compared with the vastness of the clear sky, Mount Lushan has a more reserved feeling of "holding the pipa half-covered".

Mount Lushan is a summer resort in summer and a beautiful place in autumn. The mountains are mostly filled with villas. It takes about an hour to drive up. The mountain road is steep and humid, so you can eat a lot.

After all, it is well-known, but it is indeed a place worth experiencing in depth. If I have time, I really hope to experience it in all four seasons. In autumn, the colors on the mountain are very rich, which is really great for shooting.

It's OK, but it's very tiring. The tickets are expensive, and I feel a bit disappointed because I didn't complete all the attractions. The old man checking the tickets is really not good! I'm so angry that I don't feel like playing anymore.

The Three Treasure Trees are three fir trees and ginkgo trees that are more than a thousand years old. Going down the steps next to them is Huanglongtan, one of the filming locations of the "Love in Lushan Mountain".

You can take a bus from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. There is a town on the top of the mountain with many public institutions and sanatoriums. The air is good. If you go there in October, it will be very cold on the mountain, about 8 degrees below.

By Jiushe Wealth |

Lushan is pretty good overall, but there was a lot of fog so I didn't see a lot.

By Yan Feng |

The overall scenery of Lushan is very beautiful. After going there, I can't help but think that the celebrities in history really enjoyed themselves. However, if you visit Lushan for the sake of tourism, it will lose a lot of meaning. It is best to visit it leisurely and slowly, feel the clearness of the new rain in the empty mountains, the brilliance of the sun in the sea of clouds, and the power that nature brings to you will be infinite.

For southerners who are used to seeing mountains and rivers, it feels just average, and the ticket price is 180 yuan, which doesn't seem worth it.

By Bai Xubo |

It is large in size, with mountains, lakes (a big lake at the foot of the mountain and a small lake on the mountain), waterfalls, and you can watch the sea of clouds and the sunrise. It has nature, humanities, ancient history, modern history, and the place where many important historical events took place. How can you miss it?

By green fruit |

It is a tourist destination with a lot of history. It is not just a tourist destination, but also has many historical stories.

This must be praised 👍, the scenery is beautiful. One of the must-see attractions in a lifetime.

The weather in Lushan is cool, and the temperature difference between the midsummer season and the lowland areas can be 20 degrees. Guling Town has a leisurely life and complete facilities. There are some scenic spots on Lushan, which cannot be said to be beautiful and full of features, but they are also worth visiting.

By Love you sc |

It happened to rain when I went there, so I can't comment too much. But the service in Lushan is really bad. Can you blame Jiangxi for its poor development? If such a good scenic spot is used well, it will be a good business card. The gate to the foot of the mountain is right after the Lushan toll station, which is very close to Jiujiang. There is a transportation bus from the foot of the mountain to the top, which costs 100 yuan per person. And if there is a group, you are not considered as an individual tourist, and you are not told where to sit. I can only say that the dispatch of Lushan is rubbish. After arriving at the mountain, there is another kind of transportation. So you can only have fun if you stay in the mountain for one or two nights, and you can't have fun in one day.
