During my trip to Lushan, I discovered this treasure of a scenic spot, it's so beautiful!
🌲Walking in the snow at Lushan, beautiful views are everywhere
🚗Transportation Guide
- From the high-speed train station🚖, take a taxi to Lushan, then a shuttle bus to the cable car station, and finally take the cable car🚡 up the mountain.
- From the high-speed train station🚌, queue for the bus directly to the cable car station, then take the cable car🚡 up the mountain. (Recommended, as it reduces one wait for the shuttle bus)
- You can also choose to take a sightseeing bus up the mountain, but be aware of possible motion sickness. (70r, valid for 7 days)
🏨Accommodation Recommendations
- It is suggested to book a hotel near the main street of Guling for convenience in visiting attractions. (Remember to choose a hotel with free cancellation)
🗺Itinerary
1⃣ Guling Street: Eat, stay, and travel, all in one street
2⃣ Street Heart Park: Only splendid on a sunny day, the colorful rooftops are like white flowers in bloom
3⃣ Ruqin Lake: The lake is vast, and it takes about one to two hours to walk around it. If you encounter snowy weather, the distant scenery is like an ink painting. Although it's very cold, taking photos among the trees has its own charm.
4⃣ Little Heaven Pool: Facing the blue sky to capture the rime, the scenery is absolutely beautiful. It's just a half-hour walk from the foot of the mountain, with pleasant scenery along the way. Standing on the top of Little Heaven Pool, you have a broad view, and you must not miss it.
5⃣ Lulin: The lake is smaller, and it takes about half an hour to complete. Go when it's sunny, as the snow on the east side melts earlier, so be mindful of timing. The woods by the lake are very beautiful~
🌟Important Notes
- Prepare winter clothing: down jacket, thermal underwear, wool hat, gloves🧤, hand warmers, snow boots, etc.
- Purchase tickets in advance (160r for entrance, 115r for a round-trip cable car ticket), and sightseeing bus tickets can be bought on-site.
- If you go ice skating, be sure to wear ice grips to avoid falling and getting injured
🍽Food Recommendations: Lushan has a lot of delicious food, among which Zhou Zhenzhen Nanchang mixed noodles and Huang's barbecue and braised flavors are very tasty!

I have prepared a guide for everyone to go to Lushan during the National Day
I have prepared a guide for everyone to go to Lushan during the National Day.
"I don't know the true face of Lushan, just because I'm in this mountain"
"The sun shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of the river from a distance"
Transportation:
The cable car is 120/person round trip during the peak season, and it takes only a few minutes to get directly to Guling Town, running until 8:30 in the evening.
The bus, there are up and down the mountain at both the south and north gates, 20/person.
Private cars will be restricted during the peak season, private cars can't go up, they need to be parked in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, and then take a ride up, the parking fee is not expensive (capped at 25) but our car was punctured there
Lushan ticket price: 160/person (student ticket 80/person)
Scenic area sightseeing car 70/person (the distance between the attractions is quite far, you need to buy it)
If you go to Shimenjian, you have to pay another 99
Accommodation: It is more convenient to live in the town for travel and dining. We chose to live near Xiaotianchi. I think it is inconvenient~ The accommodation environment on the mountain is average, with moldy smell. That is to say, everyone's expectations for accommodation on the mountain should be lowered~

Snow Town in the South - Lushan, Jiangxi, the ceiling for snow viewing in the south!
Lushan·Jiujiang River, with its unique charm in all four seasons, the snow scene in winter is even more breathtaking! The winter of Lushan is as amazing as the ice and snow spectacle in the north❄️. In the snow season, white snowflakes are flying all over the sky, and the white world is like a fairyland on earth, which is more beautiful than you can imagine. Today I will recommend some snow viewing spots on Lushan for you.
Flower Path Park
In the snow season, various kinds of ice flowers bloom on the branches in the park❄️, as if telling the whims of nature, it can be called a unique feature of Lushan. Passing through the path, the Flower Path Pavilion comes into view, with frost covering the top and red pillars standing out against the snowy background. Looking around, the flower path is even more spectacular in the snow season.
Jinxiu Valley
This is a magnificent valley carved by the Quaternary glacier, and its steep cliffs are dressed in silver in winter. Following the winding steps up to the top of the mountain, you can overlook the pure white forest shrouded in clouds , which is breathtakingly beautiful. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the snowy world in the mist, it seems to be in a fairyland.
Guling Street
Guling Street in the snow is like stepping into a fairy tale world! Standing on the viewing platform and looking down, you can see the Nordic-style red and green houses🏠 scattered in the silver world, adding a touch of vitality to this pure snow land. Imagine walking hand in hand with your loved one👫 on Guling Street after the snow, with snowflakes falling all around, it's like spending a romantic moment together!
Small Heavenly Pond
This place is very suitable for building snowmen⛄️ and having snowball fights, and you can take beautiful pictures with just a casual shot. Climbing up the stairs to the small pavilion at the top of the mountain, you can enjoy more of the magnificent scenery of Lushan. Looking around, you can see beautiful rime like jade trees decorating the top of the mountain, and the beautiful scenery along the way also tells its unique charm.
Hanpo Mouth
This place is 1286 meters above sea level📏 and is one of the nine major sunrise viewing spots in China. On snowy days, there will be relatively fewer tourists, which is a good thing for those who come to enjoy the snow. In the early morning, the rising sun🌅 shines through the clouds and reflects on the rime, like a beautiful painting unfolding before your eyes, and if you're lucky, you can also witness the spectacle of the sea of clouds rolling.
Travel tips:
1️⃣ When going to Lushan to enjoy the snow, please remember to check the weather forecast🌥 for the next three days in advance to ensure a pleasant trip;
2️⃣ It is not recommended to drive to Lushan in snowy weather, safety is important;
3️⃣ Remember to keep warm and prepare a pair of shoes🥾 with good waterproof performance.
The snow scene of Lushan is really beautiful! This winter, you must come to Lushan to step on the snow🌨, and experience the wonderfulness of the Snow Town in the South!

Lushan Winter Travel Guide: Exploring the Snowy Scenic Spot
🌨 Best time to watch snow: The snow scene in Lushan Mountain lasts from the end of December to the beginning of March, especially the days when the weather first clears after the snow, it has a unique flavor.
🗒️ Two-day itinerary planning:
Day 1: Depart from Nanchang and arrive at the north gate of Lushan Mountain. First, go to Lushan Love Cinema to experience the local cultural atmosphere🎬, and then visit Meilu Villa to feel the traces of history🏠. Take a walk in the park in the center of the street and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Lushan villas🌳. In the afternoon, go to Guanyun Pavilion, wait for the sunset, and enjoy the tranquility of the snow scenery🌅.
The next day: Head to Hanpokou in the early morning, which is a perfect place to watch the sunrise🌅. Afterwards, you can go to Lulin Lake, where the ice on the lake and the snowy scenery complement each other 🏞️. Then return to Guanyun Pavilion. If the weather permits, you can also enjoy the beautiful view of the sea of clouds🌌. Finally, don’t miss the snow scene of Xiaotianchi. The temples and pagodas there are even more peaceful and sacred in the snow🏯.
🚗 Transportation guide: From Nanchang, you can choose to take train or bus to Jiujiang or Lushan Station, and then transfer to bus or take a taxi to the foot of Lushan Mountain. There are several ways to go up the mountain:
Cable car (70 yuan for up trip, 60 yuan for down trip, 140 yuan for round trip): Take bus No. 57 at Jiujiang Station to the lower station of Lushan Cableway, or take the tourist bus from Lushan Station🚌.
North Gate Sightseeing Bus (round trip 20 yuan, Peak Sightseeing Bus 70 yuan): Take bus No. 86 to Lushan North Gate Station. If you drive by yourself, you can navigate to the Lushan North Gate Transfer Center🚗.
South Gate Sightseeing Car (the same price as the North Gate): Suitable for tourists starting from Lushan Station. You can navigate to the Lushan South Gate Visitor Center🚗 by yourself.
📌 Note: During the peak season, it is recommended to purchase a mountaintop sightseeing car pass, which is valid within 7 days. The scenic spots in Lushan Mountain are scattered, and it will be more difficult without a sightseeing car😓.
🏨 Accommodation recommendation: Consider staying at [Yi Duo Yunshang] Hotel, which is located near Guling Street and within walking distance🚶♀️. The hotel provides free pick-up and drop-off services in the morning, lunch and evening, which is very suitable for enjoying the beautiful view of the sea of clouds in Mount Lu🌄.

Jiangxi—Lushan—"The throat of the south, the key to the west river"
Lushan has a long history of Buddhism, Taoism, and Christianity, and is a combination of famous mountains, lakes, waterfalls, springs, celebrities, towns, temples, and views. It has a large waterfall (Li Bai's waterfall of "Flying straight down three thousand feet"), two large canyons (Tao Hua Yuan and Qi Xian, each 12 kilometers and 6 kilometers long), three national treasures (national cultural relics protection units Bailudong Academy, Guanyin Bridge, Xiufeng Rock Carvings), four famous springs (Hot Spring, the first spring in the world, Valley Curtain Spring, the sixth spring in the world, Zhao Yin Spring, Smart Spring), and five large forests (Xiufeng Temple, Guizong Temple, Qixian Temple, Wanshan Temple, Haihui Temple) are well-known far and wide.
I have been to Lushan once before, and now I come again in the snow to appreciate the snow scene of Lushan.
Transportation: Take the high-speed train from Wuhan Station to Lushan Station early in the morning, 71 yuan. Then take a taxi to Lushan.
Tickets: Lushan ticket 160+ round-trip bus ticket 20+ sightseeing car 70
Accommodation: Still living in Guling Town as before, I randomly found a hotel to stay in.
Route: Both routes have been taken, friends can choose for themselves.
Day 1 West Line: Take the sightseeing car to Ruqin Lake, there is a Jinxiu Valley at the station of Ruqin Lake, remember to start walking down from Jinxiu Valley, there are some small attractions along the way, and wild monkeys, all the way to Xianren Cave (there is a sightseeing car station), then went to Datianchi, feel general, then went to Longshou Cliff, need to enter from Datianchi, we returned to Guling Town here.
Day 2 East Line: Get up at five and a half in the morning, walk for about 40 minutes, go to Xiaotianchi to watch the sunrise (you can directly navigate to Xiaotianchi), after watching the sunrise, take the sightseeing car back to the hotel to check out and take the luggage, then take the sightseeing car to Hanpokou, there are beautiful forests along the way, walk to the end is the viewing platform (it is said that Chairman Mao took pictures here), after taking pictures, return the same way, take the sightseeing car to Lulin Station, navigate and walk about 500 meters to Lulin Lake, rest at Lulin Lake and take some pictures, just across the road at an intersection, there are three treasures trees inside, and two springs, walk to the end is the dam, there is a sightseeing car station, we returned to the main street, take the bus down the mountain at the transfer center. The bus down the mountain takes about two hours, because it has to go from the south gate to the north gate, if only to the south gate, the time is shorter, pay attention to the place you need to reach.
Food: It is recommended to bring some dry food, use a sentence to describe Laojun Mountain, there is no need to eat gourmet food in the scenic area, too expensive.
Summary: Lushan is very large, if conditions permit, it is still two days of play, overall went to the places that should be played, some attractions did not go because of previous visits, accommodation and food I think it is casual, the important thing is to see the beautiful scenery, the sightseeing car on the mountain is very necessary! Snowy day ice nail shoes are also very necessary!
