Who says southerners have to go to the Northeast to see snow? Winter in Lushan holds surprises—frost clings to every branch, you can build snowmen and have snowball fights, and even the waterfalls freeze into ice formations. This 2-day 1-night guide will teach you how to enjoy the southern snow with a sense of ceremony～ ❄️ When to go? Catch the romance of the first snow - Past first snow dates for reference: December 15, 2024; December 16, 2023; December 5, 2022. Frost has already appeared in November this year, and with a cold wave coming next week, the first snowfall is expected. If you want to be the first to rush there, keep an eye on the news～ - Best snow season: December to February of the following year, when the snow is thickest and the ice formations are most spectacular, especially in January, when you can enjoy the snow and avoid the Spring Festival crowds. 🚄 Transportation from Guangzhou and Shenzhen: 4.5 hours direct to the snow country - High-speed rail: - Guangzhou South → Jiujiang: about 4.5 hours, second-class seat 427 RMB, trains every 1-2 hours after 7 AM, very convenient to transfer after arrival. - Shenzhen North → Jiujiang: about 5.5 hours, second-class seat 538 RMB, frequent trains after 8 AM, recommended to take a morning train to enter the mountains by afternoon. - Jiujiang to Lushan: - Bus No. 15: direct from Jiujiang Station to the Lushan Cableway lower station, 2 RMB per person, 30 minutes, budget-friendly. - Cableway: 80 RMB one way, 150 RMB round trip, 10 minutes straight to the mountain! Mountain roads can be icy in snowy weather, the cableway is safe and saves energy, highly recommended! - In the scenic area: buy the 80 RMB/7-day sightseeing bus pass! Attractions are scattered, walking in snow is exhausting, the bus lets you hop on and off anytime, even better to buy on weekends～ 🏠 Stay on the mountain or at the foot? The answer is clear - Must stay on the mountain! Open your window to frost and snow views, no need to rush early to watch the sunrise at Hanpoukou at 7 AM, saving 1.5 hours of commuting. Recommended to stay in Guling Town, convenient for dining and shopping. After snow, the street lamps reflecting on the snow make it look like a fairy tale town. - Reminder: room prices rise on snowy days, book 1-2 weeks in advance! Choose a heated guesthouse, warm your snow boots before bed to be ready for a full day of snow fun～ - Staying at the foot of the mountain is cheaper, but daily round trips on the cableway and winding mountain roads are exhausting, and morning snow and sunrise are out of reach. ⛄ 2-day 1-night essential itinerary: fully enjoy the snow scenery Day 1: Stroll through the snowy town - Guling Town: drop off your luggage and explore the town first. The red roofs covered with snow, holding a roasted sweet potato to warm your hands, every photo looks Nordic. - Huajing + Ruqin Lake: Ruqin Lake has thin ice, pine branches weighed down by snow, walking on the lakeside boardwalk, hearing the crunch of snow underfoot, so healing you want to lie down. - Xianfeng Peak + Immortal Cave: the mountain path is a bit steep after snow, hold the railing to climb up, see the ice formations at Immortal Cave, with clouds rolling in the distance, like walking in heaven. - Tianchi Lake sunset: the evening sun gilds the snow, windmills turn in the snow, perfect for silhouette photos with great atmosphere. - Evening: eat a bowl of hot noodle soup in town to warm your stomach, then buy a skewer of candied hawthorn, nibble while walking, like celebrating New Year as a child. Day 2: Double surprise of sunrise + ice waterfall - Hanpoukou (arrive before 7 AM): after snow, clouds and mist swirl, when the sun rises, golden light pierces through the clouds onto the snow, the lake and distant mountains glow, find a rock to sit on and quietly watch for an hour without getting tired. - Distant view of Poyang Lake: the snowy lake surface is vast and misty, the reeds on the shore covered with snow look like a traditional ink painting with blank spaces. - Sandie Spring Waterfall: half frozen, half flowing in winter, ice formations crystal clear, sunlight makes them look like crystal, climbing over 1,000 steps is worth it! - Lulin Lake: the snowy lake looks like a sapphire, surrounding pine trees bowing, take a reflection photo and you won’t know if it’s snow or clouds. 🧥 What to wear? Warm and photogenic - Temperature: -5℃ to 8℃, windier and colder on the mountain, wear a long down coat! Top: thermal underwear + sweater + down jacket; Bottom: fleece-lined pants + windproof outer pants, easy to put on and take off, so you can cool down when playing in the snow. - Essentials: non-slip snow boots (icy and slippery after snow), scarf, gloves, hat set, and for those who feel cold, bring heat packs (stick on the back of your phone to prevent shutdown). - Style tip: wear bright colors (red, yellow) jackets, they look amazing in the white snow for photos! 🌟 Must-visit spots in priority order: 1. Hanpoukou: snow + sunrise + sea of clouds, the three together are breathtaking, getting up early is definitely worth it! 2. Sandie Spring Waterfall: unique ice waterfall, rare in the south, must go to the valley bottom for a close look. 3.

This time coming to Jiujiang, the place I most wanted to visit was definitely Mount Lu. My previous impression of Mount Lu was always at the level of “very famous” and “must visit once.” But after actually getting there, I felt its most special feature isn’t how breathtaking it is, but how it makes you slow down. 🙂 From the moment you start climbing the mountain, the feeling is already different. The state of the world at the foot of the mountain and at the top really feels like two different worlds. The higher you go, the more comfortable the air becomes, and the temperature feels fresher. The winding mountain roads, trees, mist outside the car window, and layers of scenery stretching into the distance all make you instantly detach from the rush you were in before. Mount Lu gives me the feeling that it’s not a place where “you have to crazily check off all the spots.” It’s more suited for walking slowly and taking your time to look around. Some places might look just so-so in pictures, but when you’re there, when the wind blows or the mist drifts through the mountains, that feeling just comes alive. That kind of comfort is hard to fully express in photos; it’s much more obvious when you’re actually there. 🌿 I personally really like the overall atmosphere of Mount Lu—not just the mountain scenery itself, but also the old buildings, villas, historic sites in the mountains, and the quiet feeling the whole mountain brings. It’s not just natural scenery, nor just cultural history, but the mix of these things that makes the whole place feel very layered. Another thing is, Mount Lu naturally makes you slow down. It’s not that you deliberately want to slow down, but this place just isn’t suited for rushing. When you’re walking in the mountains, you suddenly feel that hurrying isn’t so important anymore. Instead, you want to look more at the trees by the roadside, look more at the distant mountain lines, or just stand still and enjoy the breeze. ✨ So after finishing the visit, I feel the most worthwhile thing about Mount Lu might not be any specific scenic spot, but the feeling of truly slowing down after spending some time here. Before coming, I thought I was here to see the mountains, but after coming, I realized what stays with you more is the mountain air, the mist, the wind, and the rhythm that’s different from usual. If you come to Jiujiang, I still highly recommend including Mount Lu in your plans. But my advice is, try not to treat it like a “checklist task.” Give yourself some space, and give Mount Lu some time, and the experience will be better than you imagine. 😌

I encountered a misty, Jiangnan-style rain during my trip to Lushan 🫧 Unexpectedly, I stayed in an ancient-style garden hidden in the mountains. Even the name itself is poetic!! Pushing open the courtyard gate, the green tiles and white walls, the winding corridors and bamboo shadows It felt like stepping into a traditional Chinese ink painting. The entire garden wasn't deliberately embellished but rather quietly nestled in the mountains, blending seamlessly with nature. Strolling through the courtyard in the misty rain, listening to the rain pattering on the lake, my heart calmed down. The room was a wooden structure with floor-to-ceiling windows, offering views of the rain-drenched mountains 🏞️. There was even a bathtub for a relaxing soak 🛀🏻. Turning on the projector, I snuggled in bed to watch a movie. The rain pattered outside, while the room was warm and cozy, creating a truly comforting feeling. The mattress was just the right firmness, and the amenities made me feel right at home. I especially want to mention the treehouse on the roof of the building next door—so cozy!! Wooden structure, warm yellow lighting, surrounded by rain and mist—every photo is picture-perfect. It feels like stepping into a fairytale! 🪵 I have to praise the breakfast here; it's à la carte. Steaming hot beef noodles, freshly made side dishes, and soft, fragrant steamed buns—every dish is made with care, and it warms you up completely. It's also very close to the Lushan Scenic Area, quite convenient. You can take a taxi to either the North Gate or the East Gate. If you're looking for a quiet yet welcoming place, this is definitely worth it! 📍Jiujiang·Shanchuan Jihe·Luyu Academy | Xiyuan Resort B&B

The low-key "Jiujiang Water" shop near my home. Every time I come over, I can see a lot of wine stored. It’s easy to miss if it’s not for locals leading the way. Just by the roadside, two big trees surround the sign at the store entrance. I came here for the first time and saw it and found it quite interesting. Crispy beef This dish is a pre-made disaster area We’ve been eating it for so many years, and the boss insists on making it homemade. The taste is obviously different. You can taste the aroma of beef. No starch, just thin breadcrumbs. Really done crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with sweet and spicy sauce to serve the level of light in seconds, I couldn't eat a few pieces even if I was a little slow... Steamed catfish I like this directly a pang on ~ You can tell at a glance whether the steaming is good or not. The fish spring is golden and full in color. Sweet soy sauce and oily and not greasy sauce Plus this mouthful of tender and tender fish meat The white rice is also optional. Do you think it's worth it? By the way, remember to eat with ginger and onion, this is the soul. Steamed five flowers with starter I don’t need to say more about the extent of this meal. The light-mouthed cabbage used is more and more appetizing, fat but not greasy. The part of the Uinga's mouth has a good taste. If you can find this, then I have to brag about you. hotel

Dear friends! Who understands! Standing at the bottom of Lushan Waterfall, you will truly be struck by the shock of the "water plunging straight down three thousand feet"! I've compiled a tested and practical guide for you, covering transportation and routes clearly—just follow it directly! 🚗 How to get there? Super worry-free version - High-speed train/train: The most convenient is to arrive at Jiujiang Station! Right outside the station, there is a direct tourist shuttle to Lushan North Gate, costing 15 yuan and taking 40 minutes; you can also take a taxi for about 50 yuan for more freedom. - Self-driving: Navigate to the Lushan South-North Gate Transfer Center, park your car there, and take the scenic area shuttle bus or cable car up the mountain (self-driving is not allowed in the core scenic area). - Inside the scenic area: To get to Sandiequan, you can take the popular forest mini train, which saves your legs and lets you enjoy the forest scenery; for Xiufeng Waterfall, take the cable car up and down, almost no climbing needed! 📝 One-day tour route recommendation (lazy-friendly) 1. Xiufeng Waterfall (Li Bai’s favorite): Head here first! Take the cable car up the mountain, enjoy the "purple smoke" of Xianglu Peak along the way, take amazing photos of the waterfall from Shuyu Pavilion, and touch the thousand-year-old cliff inscriptions to feel the poet’s romance. 2. Sandiequan Waterfall (Lushan’s top wonder): "If you haven’t been to Sandiequan, you’re not a true Lushan visitor" is no exaggeration! With a 155-meter drop divided into three cascades, the water flow is strongest during the high-water season (May to September). The mist on your face is super refreshing. Remember to wear non-slip shoes; the steps are a bit steep but totally worth it! 3. Final tips: If time is tight, choose one waterfall to explore deeply—don’t try to do too much! For those with average stamina, the Xiufeng cable car + Sandiequan mini train combo is completely effortless. 💡 Blogger’s private tips - Wear comfortable sneakers! Don’t wear dress shoes or heels; mountain paths are really tough on your feet. - Bring a light jacket; there’s a lot of mist in the mountains, and the wind can be a bit chilly. - When taking photos, don’t just focus on the waterfalls; the panoramic views by Longtan Pool and on the plank roads have even more atmosphere! - Food recommendation: After descending, go to Jiujiang city to enjoy Lushan stone chicken and Poyang Lake fish head—so fresh you’ll want to stomp your feet! Truly, when the waterfall crashes into the pool, spraying mist everywhere, and sunlight passes through to reveal a rainbow, all your fatigue vanishes in that moment! Promise me, you must come to Lushan to see this fairyland hidden in poetry with your own eyes🌿

[ShakeHands] Introduction: The Crossing-the-Yangtze Campaign Memorial Hall is located on Yunggu Road, Binhu New District, Hefei City, Anhui Province, on the shore of Chaohu Lake. Adjacent to the Anhui Celebrity Hall and Anhui Innovation Hall, it is a national patriotic education demonstration base and a national 4A-level tourist attraction. The memorial hall was completed and opened to the public in 2012, covering an area of ​​220,000 square meters, with a building area of ​​approximately 14,000 square meters. The main building has a unique design; the 55-meter-high Victory Tower and the General Front Committee sculpture group create a solemn memorial space. It is a specialized memorial hall established to commemorate the 1949 Crossing-the-Yangtze Campaign (the decisive battle in which the Chinese People's Liberation Army crossed the Yangtze River and liberated Nanjing and East China). [ThumbsUp] Key Highlights: The main building of the memorial hall is shaped like a ship matrix, symbolizing the million-strong army crossing the Yangtze River. The basic exhibition inside, "The Great Feat of Victory in the Crossing-the-Yangtze Campaign," uses historical photographs, artifacts, panoramic paintings, sculptures, and multimedia to showcase the background, preparation process, battle details, and significance of the victory. Outside the General Front Committee Sculpture Hall, a magnificent bronze statue of the five members of the General Front Committee—Deng Xiaoping, Liu Bocheng, Chen Yi, Su Yu, and Tan Zhenlin—stands in the plaza. The Victory Tower, 55 meters high, symbolizes the 55th anniversary of the victory in the Crossing the Yangtze River Campaign (later changed to commemorate 1949), and offers panoramic views of Chaohu Lake. The "Thousands of Sails Racing" sculpture plaza features a large relief depicting the spectacular scene of thousands of boats crossing the Yangtze River simultaneously. The Martyrs' Wall is engraved with the names of over 8,000 fallen soldiers, creating a solemn and respectful atmosphere. The 4D cinema "Crossing the Yangtze River Assault Team" offers an immersive experience, recreating scenes from the battle (separate ticket required). [Heart] Practical Information: Free admission, advance reservation required (via WeChat official account or on-site ID card exchange), opening hours 09:00-17:00 (last entry at 16:00, closed Mondays). Take Metro Line 5 from Hefei city center to "Crossing the Yangtze River Campaign Memorial Hall" station, Exit 2, and walk for 5 minutes; or take bus 526 or 526 (express) to "Crossing the Yangtze River Campaign Memorial Hall" station; if driving, navigate to "Crossing the Yangtze River Campaign Memorial Hall," where there is a large parking lot. The best time to visit is year-round, with commemorative activities held during Qingming Festival, August 1st Army Day, and National Day; mornings are less crowded, and afternoon light is ideal for photographing the Victory Tower and Chaohu Lake. [OK] Travel Tips: A half-day tour is recommended. After entering the museum, first visit the first-floor introductory hall and the battle preparation exhibition hall, then the second-floor decisive battle exhibition hall, and the third-floor victory exhibition hall. Afterwards, visit the General Front Committee sculpture group and the Victory Tower. The entire tour takes approximately 2 hours. It is recommended to hire a guide or rent an audio guide to understand the historical details of the battle. Combine this tour with a visit to the Anhui Celebrity Hall (10-minute walk), Anhui Innovation Hall (15-minute walk), Binhu Wetland Park (20-minute walk), and Chaohu Lakeside (10-minute walk) to form a one-day red culture tour of Hefei Binhu New Area.

In the evening, you can visit Binhu Wanda Plaza or Leijie Night Market.

Strolling through Qiaonan Village, Jiujiang Town, Nanhai District, an ancient temple, bearing centuries of faith, stands quietly. Amidst the wisps of incense smoke, one can understand the piety and perseverance of the Lingnan people. 📍Qiaonan Cibei Palace, originally built in the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in 1887 (the 13th year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign), every brick and tile is etched with the stories of time. 🌬️ Stepping through the palace gate, incense coils hang low like a curtain of time, sandalwood incense swirls like flowing prayers, and every wisp of smoke is a letter to the gods. ✨ Special Story: Before Chen Zizhuang, one of the "Three Loyal Men of Lingnan" in the late Ming Dynasty, went to take the imperial examination, his mother made a special trip here to pray and make a wish. From then on, this place became closely associated with the spirit of loyalty and righteousness. 🙏 Enshrined Statues: The main hall enshrines the Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Laughing Buddha as secondary deities. It is a haven of spiritual sustenance for the villagers. 🎆 Annual Grand Event: The 25th day of the first lunar month, the night of "Guanyin Opening the Treasury"—hundreds of thousands of believers arrive under the starlight, crossing the Tanhua Bridge and worshipping at the Guanyin Hall, praying for a peaceful and prosperous new year. 📍 Visiting Tips: 1. It is recommended to visit in the early morning or at dusk to experience the most tranquil atmosphere. 2. Dress appropriately and remain quiet as a sign of respect. 3. You may prepare some small change for donations. 💭 Pause and look up, watching the wisps of smoke rise, as if you can hear the whispers of time. Though the gods are silent, the answer has already been quietly planted in your heart.
