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.

The primitive forest of Baotianman is worth visiting!
I recommend using an annual pass, which can save you 75 yuan on the entrance fee. Otherwise, you'll also have to pay 30 yuan for the sightseeing bus, 5 yuan for insurance, and 10 yuan for parking. All together, it's really not cheap!
There's a ten-kilometer journey from the entrance to the scenic area, and then you take the sightseeing bus to reach the core scenic area, Camel Peak. As the main attraction, it's truly impressive with its sky-covering primitive forest. Walking in the area is refreshing to the mind and spirit, with moss everywhere, giving a feeling of clarity and invigoration! You'll occasionally encounter babbling streams and listen to the songs of insects and birds in the forest, which is absolutely beneficial to your health and spirit in the hot summer. I only climbed a quarter of the way and then came back. According to visitors who climbed the whole way, it takes 5 hours .
On the way back, I crossed through and visited the waterfall group. Because there was little rain, the scenery was not as good as the forest, but on the way, I passed through the Macaque Paradise and had close contact with the monkeys, feeding them, which is an experience you can only understand through personal experience.
The third stop was returning to the primitive forest, to truly understand what a forest is.
The day's itinerary is a bit tight, so I suggest a two-day trip. Stay overnight at the Baotianman Hotel or Huiyin Hotel, and climbing the mountain in the morning will have a better effect!
