Returning from Mount Lu, I don't need to see the autumn elsewhere! Here are 30 high-definition beautiful sceneries of red leaves that I photographed
In late November, Mount Lu.
Wearing a pair of Adidas running shoes, stepping on a winding dry dirt road, facing the warm sun in the late autumn afternoon, walking towards the tall, fiery red cedar forest by the lakeside of Mount Lu, which is like a piano.
This is the best place for me to shoot red leaves every time. The fresh air here, the fragrance of trees, and the spread of green grass make me feel the reality, cleanliness, and relaxation of nature.
This is the best place for me to shoot red leaves every time.
The fresh air here, the fragrance of trees, and the spread of green grass make me feel the reality, cleanliness, and relaxation of nature. People who have lived in the city for a long time especially yearn for and cherish the outdoors, jungles, fields, and mountains.
It's so quiet here that you can only hear the slight wind, passing over the treetops, staying in the depths of the forest.
Most of the people who come to Mount Lu for autumn tours are older aunts. It seems that only they have enough time to contact nature.
I saw that there were also some young girls, most of them were internet celebrities with free professions, who came here for travel notes and travel photography. For them, coming here is not for fun, but more for work. Sometimes I think such work is pretty good.

Lushan in Jiangxi is beautiful in all four seasons, but the snow scene in winter is even more beautiful
Lushan in Jiangxi has its own characteristics in all four seasons, and the snow scene in winter is even more beautiful.
Flower Path Park
As soon as the snow season arrives, all kinds of ice flowers bloom on the branches in the park, as if sighing at the whims of nature, it is a unique feature of Lushan. Walking through the path, you will face the Flower Path Pavilion, the top is covered with frost, and the red pillars are particularly eye-catching among the snow white. Looking around, the snow season flower path is even more spectacular~
Jinxiu Valley
Under the carving of the Quaternary glacier, nature created the magnificent valley of Jinxiu Valley with a flat bottom and steep walls. When winter comes, there is a vast expanse of white in front of you, and the steep cliffs are also dressed in silver. Following the winding steps up to the top of the mountain, overlooking the pure white forest shrouded in clouds and mist, it is so beautiful that it is breathtaking. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the white snow world in the mist, it seems to be in a fairyland~
Guling Street
The snowy Guling Street is really beautiful, just like breaking into a fairy tale world! Standing on the viewing platform and looking down, the Nordic-style red and green houses are scattered in the silver-white world, adding a touch of vitality to this pure snow field. Imagine walking hand in hand with your lover on Guling Street after the snow, with snowflakes falling, as if spending a romantic moment of growing old together!
Little Heavenly Pool
This is a great spot for snow viewing in Lushan. It is suitable for making snowmen and snowball fights, and you can take a big shot at will. Climbing to the small pavilion at the top of the mountain along the stairs, you can enjoy more of the magnificence of Lushan. Overlooking the surroundings, the rime of jade trees and beautiful flowers embellishes the top of the mountain, and the beautiful scenery along the way also tells its unique charm.
Hanpokou
At an altitude of 1286 meters, it is ranked among the nine major sun-viewing spots in the country. But on snowy days, there are fewer tourists here, which is a good thing for those who come to enjoy the snow. In the early morning, the rising sun penetrates the clouds and shines on the rime, like a gorgeous painting unfolding in front of you. If you are lucky, you can also witness the spectacular scene of the sea of clouds!
TIPS:
The weather forecast within three days is generally accurate, and those who want to come to Lushan to enjoy the snow should pay attention to the weather changes in advance.
It is not recommended to drive to Lushan in snowy weather, be sure to pay attention to safety.

The Poetic Abode Amidst the Sea of Clouds—The Ancient Charm and Grandeur of Mount Lu
Mount Lu, located in Jiangxi, has long been a magnet for countless poets and scholars due to its majestic natural scenery and profound cultural heritage. This trip to Mount Lu allowed me to experience the seamless blend of its ancient charm and the grandeur of nature, as if I were in a flowing landscape painting.
The most breathtaking features of Mount Lu are its sea of clouds and waterfalls. Standing atop the mountain, it feels like being above the clouds, with rolling mist resembling endless white silk, drifting with the wind. The peaks appear and disappear, creating a fairyland-like scene. Especially in the early morning or after rain, the sea of clouds at Mount Lu is astonishingly beautiful. From a high vantage point, the mist spreads out, making the mountains below seem to float in the air, bringing an unparalleled sense of tranquility.
The waterfalls of Mount Lu are equally magnificent, with the Three-Step Waterfall being the most famous. Standing before the waterfall, the cascading water roars, and the splashing water droplets exude a powerful sense of force. The fresh mountain air and the mist from the waterfall instantly refresh the body and mind, washing away all fatigue.
In addition to its natural scenery, Mount Lu's cultural heritage is also noteworthy. It has been a place of poetic inspiration for many literati throughout history. Famous poets like Li Bai and Bai Juyi have left immortal verses here. The beauty of Mount Lu, intertwined with its cultural ambiance, offers both the grandeur of nature and the elegance of history. Walking along the ancient mountain paths, one can almost hear the recitations of ancient poets. The fusion of history and nature here evokes a deep sense of reverence.
Mount Lu is a destination where one can slow down and savor every detail. Every scene here is filled with poetic and picturesque charm. Whether it's the natural landscapes or the historical and cultural elements, Mount Lu is worth savoring and reflecting upon.

Winter in Mount Lu: Exploring a Wonderland in Silver
As a travel enthusiast, I am always looking for beautiful scenery that can cleanse and shock my soul. Mount Lu, a tourist attraction in the north of Jiangxi Province, attracts countless tourists with its changing scenery in the four seasons. And I chose to set foot on this magical land in winter to explore the wonderland in silver.🌨️
Winter in Mount Lu is snowy, as if entering a pure white world. Snowflakes are falling and covering the entire mountain range, adding a touch of tranquility and mystery to Mount Lu.🌨️❄️When I came to the foot of Mount Lu and looked up at the towering peaks, I was full of expectations and yearnings.🏔️✨
I chose to depart from Jiujiang Station and take a bus up the mountain. The scenery along the way is intoxicating. Outside the car window, snowflakes are dancing in the air, and the distant peaks are looming in the snow, like an ink painting.🖼️The bus is moving along the winding mountain road. I am enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window, and my heart is full of joy.😄
After arriving at Mount Lu, the first place I went to was Ruqin Lake. This is a beautiful lake with clear water and surrounded by mountains. In winter, Ruqin Lake has a thin layer of ice on the lake, like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding scenery.🌊🧊I stood by the lake, quietly enjoying this tranquility and beauty, as if time had stopped at this moment.😌
Then, I came to Jinxiu Valley. Here, due to the action of the Quaternary glaciers, a flat-bottomed and steep-walled valley was formed, and the scenery is spectacular. In winter, Jinxiu Valley is covered with snow in every corner of the valley, forming a beautiful picture.🏞️I walked along the valley, feeling the magic of nature, and my heart was full of awe and emotion.🙏
Of course, there are many other attractions in Mount Lu that are worth visiting, such as Sandie Spring, Wulao Peak, and Hanpokou. The waterfall of Sandie Spring is magnificent and the water is roaring, which is a wonder of Mount Lu.💦Wulao Peak is famous for its steep mountains and beautiful scenery, and it is a must-visit place for mountaineering enthusiasts.🧗♂️Hanpokou attracts countless tourists to watch the sunrise with its magnificent scenery surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the lake on one side.🌅
During my trip to Mount Lu, I also tasted local food. The dishes in Mount Lu are mainly light and delicious, such as Mount Lu Cloud Tea, Stone Chicken, and Stone Fish.🍵🍗🐟These delicacies not only satisfy my taste buds, but also make me feel the unique charm of Mount Lu.😋
This winter trip to Mount Lu made me deeply feel the magic and beauty of nature. The snow scene of Mount Lu is like a beautiful picture, which is fascinating.😍I believe that whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, Mount Lu has its unique charm and beauty, waiting for us to discover and appreciate.🌍💕As a travel enthusiast, I will continue my journey to explore more unknown beauty and miracles.🚀

The waterfall is unique, the roar is heard from a distance, the white silk is seen from a close distance, the water splashes, and the colorful light shines under the sun.
Ruqin Lake is like a pearl inlaid, the lake is clear and reflects the beautiful scenery. The willows by the lake are dependent.

The beautiful scenery of Lushan is like a picture scroll, which is fascinating and unforgettable. It is a brilliant pearl of nature.

Lushan/Did Li Bai deceive us?
Jiangxi Lushan|||Xilin Temple, located at the northern foot of Lushan Mountain in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, was built in the second year of Taihe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (367 AD) by Taofu Qing Taofan, and is the first temple in the northern mountain of Lushan. Su Shi came to visit and saw that there were many poems written by the predecessors in front of the wall. He was suddenly interested and asked for a pen to write the famous "Title Xilin Wall", which was passed down as a good poem for thousands of years: Look at the ridge and become a peak, far and near, high and low, each is different. I don’t know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain
The core scenic spot of Lushan is Guling Town, the scenic spot ticket is 160 yuan (including the scenic spot at the foot of the mountain), the cable car ticket is 120 yuan (round trip), and the scenic spot bus ticket is 70 yuan, all valid for 7 days, except for eating and living, 350 yuan can be spent. A kilometer high mountain town, but it can be played in two or three days, and it is not very tired. The most difficult thing may be the Sandiequan, otherwise why would there be a saying "Not to Sandiequan, it is a Lushan guest"!
In early September, Lushan was about 10 degrees lower than the foot of the mountain, and the mountain breeze was relatively cool. Walking on Guling Street in the morning and evening was very comfortable, but every time I went to a scenic spot, I would still get wet. I sweated every day. Comparable to running a marathon, it is recommended to bring more clothes for changing.
Lushan is not only a summer resort, but also a cultural sacred mountain. Many literati and ink guests have left many immortal poems after visiting: Su Shi left a masterpiece for Lushan Yunwu, "I don’t know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain"; Li Bai left a masterpiece for Xiufeng Waterfall, "Flying straight down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way falls for nine days"; Mao Zedong wrote "A fairy cave was born in the sky, and there is infinite scenery on the dangerous peak" Lv Dongbin's fairy cave where he practiced; Bai Juyi's "The world is full of flowers and flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom" The "temple" in the poem refers to the Dalin Temple in Lushan. Bai Juyi lived by Ruhu Lake and created a landscape—Huajing. There are so many poems describing Lushan. Each poem is a blend of poetry and scenery.
Follow the poems to visit Lushan, see the mountains in the poems, and see the water in the poems. Relax in the mountains and rivers. Is it to accumulate strength for Monday's brick moving?
Some places always have to go once

Icy Splendor: China's Rime Scenery
In winter, China is home to a unique and fascinating natural phenomenon: rime. This natural ice sculpture is a work of art, with its delicate, transparent, and dazzling appearance, it presents a stunning beauty in the cold.
The characteristics of rime can be described as "ice skin and jade bone". Its texture is pure and transparent, the surface is smooth as a mirror, and it shines like a crystal with a cold light. It usually forms when supercooled precipitation encounters a surface with a temperature equal to or below zero degrees Celsius. These raindrops quickly freeze into ice layers, accumulate layer by layer, and form a thick and spectacular rime. From a distance, the mountains and trees seem to be wearing a layer of crystal armor, which is silver and beautiful.
In Lushan, the rime landscape is often breathtaking. "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." In winter, Lushan, under the decoration of rime, is like an ice and snow kingdom. The peaks are steep, the trees are lined, the rime is full of branches, like jade branches and jade leaves, which are beautiful. The steep peaks under the cover of rime are even more majestic and spectacular, as if they were carefully carved by nature with an ice knife. Walking in the mountain path, under your feet is the creaking ice and snow, and beside you is the crystal clear rime, as if you are in a dreamlike world.
The rime of Hengshan is also fascinating. "Hengshan is gray and purple, and the old man star is seen below." When rime comes to Hengshan, the entire mountain range seems to be magical. The ancient temples are more solemn and solemn under the rime. The pines in the mountains are bent by the rime, but they still stand upright, showing a tenacious vitality. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, the mountains are undulating, and the rime is dotted in it, like a magnificent landscape painting.
The rime of Emei Mountain adds a bit of mystery. "There are many fairy mountains in Shu, and Emei is hard to match." On Emei Mountain in winter, rime and sea of clouds are intertwined. In the misty clouds, the rime is looming, like jade trees and jade flowers in the fairyland. The eaves of the temple are full of rime, shining with golden light in the sun, adding a sacred atmosphere to this famous Buddhist mountain.
The rime of Huangshan has a different charm. "Huangshan is four thousand feet, thirty-two lotus peaks." In winter, Huangshan, rime adds a bit of cold beauty to it. The strange pines and strange stones are even more peculiar under the rime. The tall guest pine, the branches are full of rime, like a silver-armored guard, welcoming guests from all directions. The lotus peak under the decoration of rime is like a blooming snow lotus, holy and beautiful.
The rime landscape of Taishan is also not inferior. "I will be on the top, and I will see all the mountains." In winter, Taishan, rime covers the ancient temples and winding mountain roads. Climbing to the top of Taishan, looking around, the whole world is dyed white by rime, giving people a sense of unparalleled shock and tranquility.
The rime of Changbai Mountain is a must. "Thousands of years of snow and ten thousand years of pine, straight up to the first peak in the world." In Changbai Mountain, the vast forest is decorated with rime like a dream. The tall trees are full of crystal rime, like an ice sculpture forest. Tianchi is more mysterious under the rime, like a gem inlaid in ice and snow.
The rime of Shennongjia has a different style. "Shennong's scenery is beautiful for a thousand years, and the rime style is strange for ten thousand years." In winter, Shennongjia, the peaks are wrapped in rime, showing various forms. The stream in the valley, accompanied by rime, seems to have turned into a silver ribbon. The rime here complements the original ecological environment and shows the most authentic charm of nature.

Encountering Mount Lu, Experiencing the Symphony of Nature and Culture
Mount Lu has inspired countless poems, as if this beautiful mountain is a magnificent painting co-created by nature and literati. From ancient times to the present, numerous poets have been attracted by its majestic peaks, cascading waterfalls, and misty clouds, leaving behind many well-known masterpieces.
- Li Bai's 'Gazing at the Waterfall on Mount Lu': 'Sunlight on the Incense Burner produces purple smoke, from afar the waterfall hangs in front of the river. The torrent plunges three thousand feet straight down, as if the Milky Way fell from the Ninth Heaven.'
- Li Bai's 'Gazing at the Five Old Peaks of Mount Lu': 'The Five Old Peaks of Mount Lu in the southeast, carved out of the blue sky like golden lotuses. The beautiful scenery of Jiujiang can be embraced, I shall nest among the cloud pines here.'
- Su Shi's 'Inscription on the Western Forest Wall': 'Viewed horizontally it becomes a range, viewed sideways a peak, each aspect different from near or far, high or low. One cannot recognize the true face of Mount Lu, only because one is in the midst of this mountain.'
- Bai Juyi's 'Peach Blossoms at Dalin Temple': 'In the human world, April's flowers have all faded, but in the mountain temple, peach blossoms are just beginning to bloom. I always regret that spring departs without a trace, little knowing it has come here.'
- Zhu Yuanzhang's 'Poem of Mount Lu': 'The bamboo shadows of Mount Lu last for thousands of autumns, clouds lock the high peaks while water flows freely. The Yangtze River stretches like a jade belt, a bright moon rolls like a golden ball. The road to the northwest is three thousand realms away, its grandeur suppresses a million states in the southeast. The beautiful scenery cannot be fully appreciated in one visit, fate willing, I shall come again.'
- Xie Lingyun's 'Climbing to the Summit of Mount Lu and Gazing at the Peaks': 'Traveling in the mountains without a fixed time, the farther I go, the harder it is to stop. I wish to linger from dawn to dusk, thus experiencing the full cycle. Suddenly, the gorges open up, and the flat path abruptly ends. The ridges and hills are intertwined, with no trace of paths. Day and night obscure the sun and moon, winter and summer share the frost and snow.'
- Yuan Zhen's 'Alone at Night on Mount Lu': 'In the cold sky, the Five Old Peaks are covered in snow, the slanting moon shines on the clouds of Jiujiang. Where does the bell sound come from? It is heard among the dense trees.'
- Tang Yanqian's 'Climbing Mount Lu': 'From the top of the Five Old Peaks, the horizon is before my eyes. The night rain floats over Xiangtan, the cold mist covers Bashu. The roots of Taihua stand together, the veins of Song and Heng are connected. Leaning into the void, I feel like an immortal, watching the sun and moon pass by.'
- Jiang Wei's 'Waterfall': 'Facing south on Mount Lu, the waterfall has been famous since ancient times. It flows thousands of miles to the blue sea, emerging from the white clouds. Its cold sound travels far, who can divide its sacred stream? Except for Deng Tiantai, no other flow can compare.'
- Sun Fang's 'Gazing at Mount Lu from the Lake': 'Stopping the boat at the southern lake, I return again, smiling and chanting towards the towering peaks. Heaven seems unwilling to let people see it all, always hiding half of it in clouds.'
- Wang Anshi's 'Embroidered Valley': 'Returning home with a smile in the morning, I am happy to be the master of the famous mountain. By chance, I go to the Five Lakes with enthusiasm, inviting spring in the Embroidered Valley.'
- Mao Zedong's 'Seven-Character Quatrain: Climbing Mount Lu': 'A mountain stands tall by the great river, climbing up its lush four hundred turns. With a cold eye, I look at the world, hot winds blow rain over the river and sky. Clouds cross nine streams, floating yellow cranes, waves rise in three Wu regions, creating white smoke. Where has Tao Yuanming gone? Can one farm in the Peach Blossom Spring?'

【Beautiful Lushan】The true face of Lushan in summer, like a tour around Ruqin Lake
Ruqin Lake in Lushan is named after its shape, which resembles a violin.
Located in the central park of Guling Street, Lushan District, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. Built in 1961, it covers an area of about 110,000 square meters and has a water storage capacity of about 1,000,000 cubic meters.
In the lake, there are curved bridges, pavilions, and flower paths. The flower path is also known as 'Baisima Flower Path,' named after Bai Juyi, who once walked along the path to enjoy the flowers. It is a mountain park, with a couplet at the entrance: 'Flowers bloom in the mountain temple, poets linger to chant.' The words 'Flower Path' are inscribed above the gate. Inside the park, there is a Flower Path Pavilion, with the words 'Flower Path' engraved on a stone, said to be written by Bai Juyi. There are also 'Jingbai Pavilion,' 'Zili Pavilion,' 'Flower Path Artificial Lake,' 'Flower Exhibition Room,' 'Zoo,' and other attractions. The park is planted with peach blossoms and various famous flowers. Bai Juyi's famous line 'In April, when all flowers wither in the world, the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom' refers to this place. On the east side of the lake, by Dalin Road, there is the famous glacial relic: 'Flying Stone.'
Ruqin Lake is located in the west valley, surrounded by peaks and lush forests, creating an elegant environment. In the center of the lake is an island, where many peacocks are artificially raised, hence the name Peacock Island. The curved bridge connects to the island, adorned with waterside pavilions, forming a picturesque scene of green water and mountains, creating a harmonious and interesting view. Standing on the island, one can enjoy the surrounding beauty.

A beautiful scenery introduced by a friend, breathtakingly beautiful—Lushan
Sharing my Lushan travel experience and personal insights with friends! First, we drove there.
Lushan has four gates: East, South, West, and North
✅ East Gate: Hike up to Sandie Spring 🚶 (very tiring, 2600 steps, some parts are very steep, not recommended to go up from here)
✅ North Gate: The gate where you can take a sightseeing car up (most people go up from here, and it's not very far from Jiujiang city).
✅ South Gate: Another gate where you can take a sightseeing car up (you can also hike up from here, I didn't climb the West Gate
Recommended attractions at the cable car gate:
✅ Sandie Spring: Definitely don't go up from the East Gate, but it's generally a must-visit attraction (for Sandie Spring rafting, buy tickets on a certain fish platform for 80 per person, it takes about an hour to complete, you can give it a try)
✅ Five Old Peaks: We happened to encounter thunderstorm weather these two days and couldn't go, but it's also recommended (by the way, it's best to bring an umbrella as the weather in the mountains 🌂 changes quickly)
✅ Flower Path and Immortal Cave: I think the Flower Path 💐 is average but many people go to check in, for the Immortal Cave you can try getting off at Jinxiu Valley 🚘 and then circle around the mountain, the scenery along the way is nice.
I personally think 2 days should be enough to cover most of it. We took the sightseeing car down from Xiaotianchi Station , the winding mountain road is quite dizzying, strongly not recommended for those prone to motion sickness 💁.

The waterfall cascades down three thousand feet
Mount Lu is beautiful, beautiful in every aspect. Have you ever seen the waterfall clouds of Mount Lu in the scorching summer? This is the legendary 'like fog, like rain, and like wind' waterfall clouds of Mount Lu! So magnificent!
Mountains connect to mountains, clouds connect to clouds, one after another, like cotton candy. It's truly spectacular!
Masses of waterfall clouds pour down from the mountain top to the foot of the mountain, and then the cloud waves traverse the peaks and valleys, layer upon layer, indescribably wonderful. Occasionally, the gaps in the clouds reveal the blue sky, green fields, and the city of Guling, like a poetic and picturesque world.
At the Three-Step Spring, 'Among the waterfalls of Mount Lu, the Three-Step Spring is the best.' 'If you haven't been to the Three-Step Spring, you haven't truly visited Mount Lu.' The number one wonder of Mount Lu—the Three-Step Spring, the most magnificent and beautiful karst landscape in the world.

Recommendation for a unique and fun travel city!
Embark on a journey to Jiujiang for a spiritual interaction.
Jiujiang is a city where Buddhist culture is quite developed, with various temples both large and small, making it very suitable for those with a slight belief in Buddhism to go and pray. The temples and Buddha statues are grand and imposing, and most of them do not charge any fees. Jiujiang's cultural promotion is also quite special; the city's culture and history are directly displayed on the streets, allowing people to see the city's historical progress very intuitively. This is a rare approach among many cities and also confirms the deep historical heritage of Jiujiang.
The famous Lushan Mountain from our language textbooks is also located here, allowing you to truly experience Lushan as seen through the eyes of literati. As the saying goes: 'To speak of the world, one must walk the world.' One's understanding needs to be continuously expanded and elevated.
The cost of living in Jiujiang is not high, and it is not an overly popular city, making it very suitable for travel during peak times without feeling crowded or abrupt. It is perfect for friends to create high-quality nine-square grid photos for social media, ensuring you have content to write about in your circle of friends, and not ending up with nothing to show after a trip. If you can relate to what I've described, you might just experience the charm of Jiujiang. If you like this article, I hope you'll give it a like, thank you, dear readers!

A major discovery of the secret scenery of Lushan, stunning your little heart
This time, another niche waterfall was discovered, which is beautiful and fun, and it's free, the key is that it's not crowded😎
It only takes 1.5 hours from Nanchang to reach Lushan Yulian Spring. This time, I took the kids, and after a 30-minute hike, it's especially suitable to go now. I've organized a no-pitfall guide for everyone, hurry up and save it❤
📍Location: Lushan Guizong Yulian Spring
🚌Transportation: Drive to Yulian Spring Waterfall or Xizhi Cave, or take a bus to Guizong Hospital
💰Ticket: Free, parking is also free
My hiking route👇
Yulian Spring→Xizhi Cave→Jinlun Summit→Yulian Spring
You can follow the red ribbons on the trees from our 'Extreme Outdoor' (picture 6), or download the two-step route and follow our track in picture 7. The track in picture 7 is a 5-hour hike of 6.5 kilometers, which is a bit challenging and is a wild trek.
📷Photo spots:
1⃣Yulian Spring: You can feel the wild water curtain waterfall under a cliff over 40 meters high up close, and the photos are super beautiful
2⃣Xizhi Cave: You can visit the stone house where Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy, raised geese and practiced writing a thousand years ago
⚠【Some hiking tips】
✅Be sure to wear anti-slip sports shoes, wear a good windbreaker (it's quite damp under the waterfall), it's best to come during the rainy season from April to June, and if you bring children, don't go up to Jinlun Summit
✅Prepare trekking poles, water, Snickers, bread, and other small snacks. Wear a hat on sunny days, and long sleeves in the summer to prevent mosquito bites
✅Eating: There are restaurants within a 5-10 minute drive nearby, and if you don't want to go up the mountain, you can play in the water pools along the road, which is very cool in the summer

Jiangxi Three-Day Two-Night Tour, Average Cost Per Person: 1000 Yuan Strategy!!
📍Jiangxi⛰️ Three-Day Two-Night Tour, Average Cost Per Person: 1000 Yuan💰 Strategy!!
Day 1: We arrived in Jiujiang in the morning and chose a hotel near Jiujiang Station. After dropping off our luggage, we took a bus to Simatou Food Street. Unfortunately, the Si Jie Mei Pancake and Xu Popo were not open, so we randomly picked a Nanchang specialty fried rice noodle place. The owner recommended their signature fried noodles, which were really good.
In the afternoon, we changed clothes and went to climb Lushan Mountain. We bought tickets just for the Sandiequan waterfall. We took a sightseeing bus from the northeast of Lushan Mountain to go up and down the mountain, which took us about four hours in total. There weren't many people, and I have to say, the waterfall was really spectacular, especially since it had rained a few days before, making it particularly large.
In the evening, we strolled along the river near Xunyang Tower. The evening breeze was really comfortable.
Day 2: We arrived at Jingdezhen North Station around 10 am and took the No. 3 bus line directly to Jingdezhen Museum (you need to make a reservation in advance when it's crowded). We had reserved from 1 to 2 pm. There weren't many people at the entrance, but once inside, we were shocked. The speechless Buddha on the sixth floor had a queue so long, I felt it would take more than an hour to wait. We walked around and left (it's better to go during the off-season when there are fewer people).
Right after, we went to the Sculpture Porcelain Factory (no one can leave empty-handed).
We first went to eat Fan's Beef Bone Noodles (those who can't eat spicy food must say so in advance; the level of spiciness that Jiangxi people can handle is not something ordinary people can accept). It feels like Jiangxi is full of various kinds of noodles, all delicious, including fried dough sticks wrapped in glutinous rice (which I personally really like).
Our last stop was Sanbao Village (if time allows, you can rent an electric bike to tour the entire village). We were short on time, so we rode a shared bike at the entrance and spent a little over an hour without going too far. Overall, it was pretty good.
Day 3: We stayed in a hotel near Wuyuan Station (I must say, their hotel decorations are all very retro, which I really like). We just went to one scenic spot because during the May Day holiday, the Wuling scenic area was especially crowded, so we chose Likeng scenic area (we took a taxi from Wuyuan Station). It was really beautiful, Likeng was not too crowded, and the scenery was super beautiful. I really love natural scenery. If I had enough time, I would really want to stay here for two or three days. Just taking random photos is particularly photogenic. There are many shops selling special products and many small farmhouses (after all, inside the scenic area, you know the prices). I sincerely recommend visiting Wuyuan at least once.

A hidden gem of a guesthouse where you can fall asleep to the sound of a mountain stream
-Zz
👍 Most recommended:
Because of a picture of a waterfall, I came to Lushan. Before coming, I checked out many guesthouses near Lushan online, both inside and outside the scenic area. In the end, I decided to come directly to Lushan and try my luck to see if I could find a guesthouse I liked .
🌟 Highlights:
I checked out nearby guesthouses on an app and blindly chose one to visit in person. The housekeeper showed us the specific rooms. This guesthouse is actually very new, with nice decor and facilities. Although I wasn't very impressed by the pictures on the app, seeing it in person was really great! It's the first time I've found a guesthouse that looks better in person than in pictures, haha.
❤ Recommended reason:
The guesthouse owner patiently showed us several rooms, and we finally chose this one. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the trickling water flowing down from the mountain. Falling asleep to the sound of the stream is a new life experience.
📝 Tips:
If you find the stream too noisy, the guesthouse also has many mountain view rooms and small courtyards to choose from. It's very nice, and I recommend the Lushan Scenic Area.

Lushan, a breathtakingly beautiful retreat for escaping the summer heat
Taking my parents and others, we embarked on a leisurely summer getaway to Lushan. With no rush and considering my parents' health, we intentionally spread out some of the sights that could be seen in one day over two days. Lushan is not just a mountain; it's a town on the mountain with almost everything available.
We arrived at Jiujiang Station by train and took the cable car up to the town on Lushan. Our group of 10 chose a homestay, and transportation on the mountain was 70 yuan for unlimited rides to various attractions.
On the first day, after arriving in Lushan town in the morning, we started our tour in the afternoon with a drizzle, from the Flower Path, Bai Juyi's Thatched Cottage, Ruqin Lake, to the Flying Stone.
The second day, in the morning we visited the Great Heavenly Pool, Immortal's Cave, Tianxin Terrace, Round Buddha Hall, Imperial Stele Pavilion, and Sky Bridge. We returned to the homestay for a midday nap and rest. In the afternoon, we took a car to the Small Heavenly Pool, Hero Slope, and Wangjiang Pavilion.
On the third day, after the rain the day before, the Threefold Spring should be just right for viewing. With more than 3,000 steps and accompanying 9 elders over 60, we slowly spent the whole day playing, descending first and then ascending, which was quite exhausting, but the older generation was impressive.
On the fourth day, it was overcast, and we visited the Meilu area in the morning and the Five Old Peaks in the afternoon. Accompanied by mist, it felt even more like a 'fairyland,' and we were the only few people in the entire Five Old Peaks scenic area.
The fifth day, Lulin Lake, the Botanical Garden, Lushan Museum, and Hanpokou.
The sixth day, Sanbao Tree, Dragon Head Cliff, Shimenjian. Shimenjian has rafting, but it's directly down the mountain, so those who remain on the mountain can't participate.
In six days, we thoroughly enjoyed Lushan. Although there were a few sunny days, as long as one stayed in the shade, it immediately became cool. The reputation of this summer retreat is well-deserved.

Only because I am in this mountain
Mount Lu, is what Li Bai saw
A stream cascades down three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way had fallen from the heavens; Mount Lu, is what Su Shi inscribed
Viewed from the side, a ridge on one side, a peak on the other, varying heights and distances; Mount Lu, is what Bai Juyi sighed about
All the flowers have withered in April in the human world, yet the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom; Mount Lu, is what Tao Yuanming yearned for
Picking chrysanthemums beneath the eastern fence, leisurely I see the southern hills...
Mount Lu, is also where Lv Dongbin attained immortality; Zhou Dunyi wrote 'The Love of Lotuses' here. Throughout the ages,
Over 4000 literary giants have ascended Mount Lu, what kind of charm does Mount Lu really have? Honestly, you only know once you've been there yourself. A friend's words left a deep impression: you think it's a mountain, but it's actually a city.
If Li Bai, Su Shi, Bai Juyi... were still alive, what would they say upon seeing Mount Lu, which has changed so much from the past?
