Nanyang County Government Office

Day 2 - From Nanyang to Xinyang, then to Macheng, finally arriving at Lushan||In the early morning, I visited the ancient site of the Nanyang County Government Office and then enjoyed a bowl of spicy soup for breakfast at the entrance of the scenic area. The authentic Henan spicy soup was indeed unforgettable. I initially underestimated the fuel costs and had to refuel twice along the way, each time adding as much as 30 liters. It turns out that the edge of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui revolutionary base area is adjacent to the vast Dabie Mountain area. However, surprisingly, there is no single peak directly marked as 'Dabie Mountain' on the map; it is actually composed of a continuous range of mountains. Since we departed near noon, our journey naturally lagged behind the original plan by half a day. By the time we arrived at Lushan, night had quietly fallen. After the rain in Jiangxi, the air was filled with an indescribable moisture and comfort. The Lushan Scenic Area informed us that traffic control measures are implemented in July and August, and private cars cannot directly enter the mountain area. Each visitor needs to pay 90 yuan to take a sightseeing bus up the mountain. As for the entrance ticket, it is valid for 7 days and costs 160 yuan per person, allowing unlimited entry and exit within the validity period.
