❕❕ It's up to you how much you spend, this only represents my personal experience.

The scenery on the mountain is quite ordinary, and the grass is still yellow. Lushan is a summer resort, and the best time to visit is in the summer. I believe that Lushan should be enjoyed slowly, and a two or three-day visit is not enough to truly appreciate its charm. It's a pity that this trip to Lushan was so rushed, I must come back again when I have more time) 🍛 Lunch: Heji Dining 37 yuan per person 🍜 Dinner: Sister's Restaurant 42 yuan per person 🚗 Transportation: Taxi 10 yuan per person (There are many drivers outside Jiujiang Station offering rides to Lushan, and you can bargain!) 🏠 Accommodation: Lushan Luye Mountain Villa 80 yuan per person Second Day Itinerary: Hotel - Lushan Scenic Area - Donglin Big Buddha - Jiujiang Night Market Street - Hotel 1⃣️ Lushan Scenic Area (We took the west route on the first day and the middle route on the second day.
