Several places worth stopping for photos in March 📷
Sandie Spring
Water volume is noticeably high in spring, and the waterfall is very loud.
Standing at the viewing spot, the mist hits your face, and many feelings cannot be captured by the camera.
If you encounter rainy and foggy days, you can see the grandeur described in the poem "A waterfall plunges straight down three thousand feet."
·
Bailudong Academy
Overall very quiet, with buildings, trees, and light naturally interwoven.
No need to deliberately take photos, just walking around is very comfortable.
·
Ruqin Lake
Surrounded by trees, when the weather is foggy, the lake surface blends with the distant mountains.
Take a walk around the lake and breathe the fresh mountain air.
·
Fangzhu Temple
In early March, several century-old cherry blossoms in the temple bloom one after another.
Wooden beams, gray walls, and pink-white petals in the same frame are very quiet and pleasing to the eye.
·
Tangjiawan Village
From mid-March, rapeseed flowers bloom at the foot of Lushan.
The village, tea fields, and lake are connected by a sea of flowers.
No need to find an angle, standing by the roadside is a spring countryside picture.
Best to visit on a sunny day for richer colors.

Accommodation chosen is Huazhu·Kuangjing, a homestay next to Ruqin Lake 🏡, very convenient for going out for a walk.
This time stayed in a lake view room with a very wide view: on sunny days, you can see the layers of the lake surface and distant mountains; on cloudy and foggy days, the lake and trees blend together.
In the evening, you can watch the sunset slowly fall directly from the balcony.
When not going out, brewing tea and enjoying the view in the room makes time slow down unconsciously, very suitable for adjusting your pace.
Besides the location and environment, the service is also a big plus. Staff proactively introduce nearby attractions and help organize the sightseeing order based on your time, very friendly for first-time visitors to Lushan.
