    #Visit Lushan West Sea, receive West Sea tangerines# Lushan West Sea is truly worth a visit! It's a gem bestowed by nature. Upon entering Lushan West Sea, the first thing that catches the eye is its vast 308 square kilometers of water. The lake water is crystal clear, with a visibility of up to 11 meters, and its Class I national water quality makes you want to get closer. More than 8,000 islands are scattered across the lake like emeralds on a jade plate. A boat trip, weaving between the islands, allows you to appreciate the solitary grandeur of "A Tree Across the Sea" and experience the romantic atmosphere on Heart Island. Climbing the 99-meter-high West Sea Star offers a panoramic view of the picturesque lake and mountain scenery.

    Xunyang River Scenic Area, located in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, is a scenic spot where history and nature blend seamlessly. Upon entering the scenic area, the first thing that catches the eye is the Pipa Pavilion, famous for Bai Juyi's poem "The Song of the Pipa," as if one can hear the pipa's sound echoing through time. Strolling along the riverbank, the majestic Suojiang Tower and Suojiang Pagoda stand tall in the distance, having withstood centuries of wind and rain. Xunyang Tower, with its simple yet elegant architectural style, particularly captivated me. Climbing the tower, I gazed upon the shimmering Yangtze River, where water and sky merged seamlessly. I also took a cruise on the Xunyang River, gliding across the water and experiencing the idyllic feeling of "a boat sailing on emerald waves, a person traveling in a painting." This trip to Xunyang River Scenic Area left me captivated by its profound cultural heritage and beautiful natural scenery, making me reluctant to leave.

    In high school, I studied Su Shi's "Stone Bell Mountain Record," a piece about imperial examinations. On the second day of my trip to Nanchang, I found a day trip to explore this unique mountain. The scenic area isn't large, but it's quite unique. It's where Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River meet, offering a breathtaking view of the two-faced natural landscape. There's also a cultural commemoration of Su Dongpo and the Hunan Army's battle against the Taiping Rebellion. It's well worth a visit.

    Take the shuttle bus from Jiujiang Bus Station to Lushan Bus Station, then transfer there. The Lushan bus to Donglin Giant Buddha takes an hour and a half (13 yuan plus 3 yuan), which is quite fast. Entrance fees, incense offerings, tea, and drinks are all free, and there's no commercial activity. 👍👍 Arrive early in the morning and receive a meal voucher for a delicious vegetarian meal across from the main entrance at the foot of the mountain (additional address is on the back of the voucher, and the meal costs 9 yuan). The Buddha is majestic and peaceful! It's a truly sacred Buddhist site. 👍👍 A place for spiritual cleansing!

    High-quality scenic spots pay attention to service details, such as professional explanations and facility maintenance. Referring to general standards, service personnel must be warm and thoughtful, and tourists can participate in geological research, intangible cultural heritage experience and other activities. The high evaluation of scenic spots must meet the balance of "unique landscape + humanized service + convenient facilities + cultural depth". With world-class landscape and cultural heritage, it has become a benchmark case

    🌊 Poyang Lake Travel Guide | The Stunning Seasons of China's Largest Freshwater Lake: Birdwatching, Flower Viewing, Sunset Chasing – All in One Article! As China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake is not only an ecological paradise but also a treasure trove for travelers! Whether you're a nature lover, a photography enthusiast, or a cultural explorer, Poyang Lake has something for everyone. Today, we'll take you on an in-depth exploration of how to experience Poyang Lake! 🌿 Best Time to Travel: Different Times, Different Scenery Poyang Lake is beautiful in every season, but each season has its own unique charm: Autumn/Winter (October - March): A Bird Paradise! 98% of the world's white cranes overwinter here. Wucheng Migratory Bird Town and Nanji Mountain Wetland are birdwatching hotspots, where your camera will be filled with flocks of these "international supermodels." Spring/Summer (April - September): Seas of Flowers and Grasslands! During the high-water season, the lake is vast, resembling a "sea"; during the low-water season, grassy islets emerge, and smartweed flowers bloom (late October-November), transforming the lake into a "pink grassland," perfect for camping and photography. 📸 Must-Visit Attractions Wucheng Migratory Bird Town 🦢 Birdwatching Prime Spot: Climb to Wanghu Pavilion to watch thousands of birds take flight, especially breathtaking at dawn and sunset. 🏡 Cultural Experience: Explore the Ming and Qing Dynasty old streets and the Ji'an Guild Hall, experiencing the fishing village charm of this "thousand-year-old town." Nanji Mountain Wetland 🌾 Hidden Grassland: During the low-water season, the lakebed is exposed, forming the "Poyang Lake Grassland," perfect for horseback riding, kite flying, and stargazing. Luoxingdun 🏯 Ancient Building in the Water: A thousand-year-old stone island, resembling a "lonely building in the lake" during the high-water season, accessible on foot during the low-water season—a truly magical experience! Poyang Lake National Wetland Park 🚤 Lake Tour Experience: Take a boat trip through the reed marshes, perhaps encountering finless porpoises playing. In summer, there's also a lotus flower extravaganza. 🍜 Poyang Lake Culinary Delights Poyang Lake's Three Delicacies: Silverfish, Mandarin Fish, and Whitefish—incredibly fresh! We recommend the original flavor of "Lake Fish Boiled in Lake Water." Stir-fried Water Chestnut with Cured Pork: Water chestnuts, a specialty of Poyang Lake, are fragrant, crisp, and tender, a perfect match for homemade cured pork! Fermented Fish: Fish pieces marinated in rice wine, sweet, sour, and slightly spicy—a perfect accompaniment to rice. Food Tips: The most authentic restaurants are in the lakeside fishing villages of Lushan City and Poyang County, such as "Poyang Lake Fisherman's House." 🚗 Transportation Guide High-speed rail: Get off at Nanchang Station/Jiujiang Station, then transfer to a bus or drive (1.5 hours to the main scenic areas). Self-driving: The scenery along the lakeside road is absolutely stunning. A recommended route is Nanchang → Wucheng → Nanjishan → Duchang → Lushan. ⚠️ Precautions Protect the ecosystem: Do not disturb migratory birds, do not trample on the grasslands, and take your trash with you. Safety first: During the dry season, the grasslands are slippery; be careful not to get stuck in the mud. During the high-water season, do not go into the water without permission. Weather forecast: Autumn and winter are windy around the lake; wear windproof and warm clothing. Sunscreen is essential in summer! 🎙️ Blogger's Ramblings: The beauty of Poyang Lake lies in its "wildness" and "versatility"—in a single day, you can witness the ink-wash lake scenery shrouded in morning mist, the afternoon flocks of migratory birds, and the "sunset glow and lone wild geese flying together" at dusk. Here, there is no excessive commercialization, only the most pristine gifts of nature. Suitable for: Parent-child nature education, photography enthusiasts, and niche travel lovers.

    The environment of Tianmu Hot Spring is really great, and the service attitude is very thoughtful. Every time I come here, I feel as comfortable as coming home.
