"The true face of Lushan is lost to sight, only the waterfall hangs over the clear river."

🌄 Lushan Mountain: 【Lushan Highlights: A Glimpse of a Thousand Years, Stunning in All Seasons】 Natural Air-Conditioned City: Average summer temperature of 22°C, dotted with historic villas of celebrities from the Republic of China era, exuding a retro-literary vibe. Poetic Mist and Clouds: A flowing ink painting as described by Su Shi—"the true face is lost to sight"—best encountered after rain when the sky clears. Waterfall Symphony: The Three-Step Waterfall, like a "three-stage leap of the Milky Way," inspired Li Bai's "a waterfall cascades down three thousand feet." Red Legacy: Site of important CCP meetings, offering a dual impact of history and natural beauty. 【Recommended Itineraries: Fast or Slow, Unlock the Depths】 🔥 Classic One-Day Highlights Guling Street (breakfast) → Riqin Lake (morning mist reflections) → Flower Path (Bai Juyi's Thatched Cottage) → Jinxiu Valley (peaks and sea of clouds) → Immortal's Cave (Taoist rock formations) → Hanpo Pass (overlooking Poyang Lake) → Meilu Villa (Republic of China charm) 🎒 In-Depth Three-Day Immersion Day 1: West Route Cultural Line (Meilu Villa + Conference Site + Old Villa Stories) Day 2: East Route Nature Line (Hanpo Pass sunrise → Five Old Peaks hike → Three-Step Waterfall challenge) Day 3: Hidden Gems Route (Lulin Lake → Huanglong Pool → Autumn foliage/spring cherry blossoms at Lushan Botanical Garden) 【Photography Spots: 100% Instagram-Worthy God's-Eye Views】 1. Hanpo Pass Sunrise Platform 🌅 Capture the rolling sea of clouds at sunrise with a telephoto lens, framing a silhouette against the railing. 2. Riqin Lake Pavilion 🍃 Shoot symmetrical reflections in morning mist, wearing Hanfu or a solid-color dress with an oil-paper umbrella for added charm. 3. Fourth Peak of Five Old Peaks ⛰️ Look back at the layered peaks after summiting; use a wide-angle lens for a low-angle shot with arms outstretched. 4. Lulin Lake Autumn Boardwalk 🍁 Fiery maple leaves in late October; drone shots of the S-shaped lakeshore with candid moments of falling leaves. 5. Guling Street Night View Platform 🌃 Myriad lights like a starry river; use a tripod for long exposures to frame light trails and the night sky. 【Transport Guide: Multiple Ways Up the Mountain】 ✈️ Flight → Nanchang/Jiujiang Airport → 1.5-hour taxi to Lushan Cable Car Lower Station 🚄 High-speed rail → Lushan Station (closest)/Jiujiang Station → Direct scenic area bus Ascend via: 🚡 Cable car (7 minutes to Guling Town with panoramic views) 🚌 Sightseeing bus (transfer at North/South Gate; warning for motion sickness on winding roads) 🚶 Hiking via Hero's Slope (4-hour challenge, tough but rewarding) Within the park: ¥70 unlimited sightseeing bus pass (valid for 7 days), covering all major attractions 📣 Your Lushan Story Awaits: "Will you take the cable car for a quick ascent or embrace the 'hero's' climb?"
