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.

#jiangxitravel
Donglin Grand Buddha
This is the first time I have seen a temple without any commercial atmosphere, no need to spend a penny, free admission, and free water to drink.
The Buddha statue is magnificent, with a total investment of about 1 billion for the Grand Buddha project, using 48 kilograms of gold to gild the Buddha, which is 48 meters tall, representing the 48 great vows made by Amitabha Buddha. The total height is 81 meters, up to the point of the flame treasure canopy, symbolizing the 81 difficulties, which means that the path to enlightenment is not easy.
May everyone who sees this be able to succeed.
The Most Beautiful Snow Scenery | The Pure Land Garden of Donglin Temple under the cover of freezing rain in spring
This winter's "snow" has been particularly lively. First, there was the early snow in December. Then came the snow and freezing rain in January. Before the year's end, there was widespread snowfall across the country, and the south was no exception; many places suffered from severe cold weather, and the freezing rain affected the operation of high-speed trains and bullet trains, causing a large number of tourists to be stranded at stations.
Spring Festival time in Jiangxi still had the feeling of a sunny March, and people went out to visit temples and various scenic spots. The Pure Land Garden of Donglin Temple also welcomed a post-New Year peak of visitors, with more than 100,000 tourists over several consecutive days. The bright sun shone, and the plum blossoms bloomed, their fragrance wafting in the wind. Tourists stopped to take photos and check in. In the blink of an eye, a bout of freezing rain and snow took us into a silver world, instantly experiencing the scenery of the northern frontier.
However, this snow was a bit different from that of the north; it was not so soft and fluffy, but made a rustling sound as it fell, half-melting and half-freezing into ice on the ground. From a distance, it looked like snow, but up close, it was actually a layer of ice, hard and crisp underfoot. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be freezing rain.
The photos below showcase the beautiful scenery of the Pure Land Garden of Donglin Temple under the freezing rain.

It's my 46th birthday and no party! I spent the day exploring Lushan Geopark! What a beautiful view?! Peaceful lake, very cold weather. The weather is different from downtown in Jiujiang. Best time to visit, November or even in summer. From Shenzhen North Train Station, we took a train to Jiujiang, Jiangxi. more than 4 hours travel by train. Yes it takes forever but I enjoyed the view from the train's window and I'm fine with that. By plane is more convenient for busy travellers. This place is part of
Lushan Quaternary Glaciation National Geopark.

My best birthday ever! Our hotel is in Jiujiang near the train station. Two hours drive going to this mountain.

Guling Street Historical and Cultural District of Lushan
Guling Town is located on the top of Mount Lu and has a history of over 100 years. It is said that the town was named by a British missionary because the shape of the ridge resembles a bull, and it has become a holy place for summer retreats. The town is well-equipped with all the necessary facilities. Due to the booming tourism industry, Guling Street is bustling all year round with crowds of tourists and heavy traffic. There are numerous shops, hotels, schools, hospitals, and some buses even go to nearby attractions. The streets in the scenic area are narrow, and self-driving up the mountain is generally not allowed. Visitors can park their cars at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain and take a shuttle bus to the top, which is more convenient for staying overnight. The entrance fee for the Lushan Scenic Area is 160 yuan, with free or discounted admission for special populations. Sometimes there are free admission promotions in March. The sightseeing bus costs 70 yuan per person, and the Lushan Scenic Area is vast with many attractions. The tickets for the entrance and the sightseeing bus are valid for 7 days.
Explore the snow wonder of Jiangxi! - Lushan
Want to enjoy the vast snow scene without having to go far north? The winter beauty of Lushan is waiting for you to check in! 💖
This year I have prepared a practical Lushan skiing guide for everyone, which will definitely make your trip worthwhile! 🎉🎉🎉
🚗Traffic guide:
First take the high-speed train or train to Jiujiang Station (note: not Lushan Station, don't be misled by the name! Lushan Station is actually farther). After leaving the station, you can choose to take a taxi directly to 🚡Lushan Cableway Station, or choose to take a bus. We chose to ask local residents after leaving the station, and then took the No. 57 bus directly to the Lushan Cableway parking lot. The bus journey takes about 30 minutes, and the ticket is only 2 yuan. You can use Alipay to swipe the Jiujiang electronic bus card. When you go down the mountain, take the No. 57 bus directly back to Lushan Railway Station at the bus stop.
👏Play experience:
I went a few days ago, and it was snowing heavily at that time. Because Lushan is near, I set off immediately after seeing the weather forecast that there would be heavy snow in the next two days. The Lushan after the snow is incredibly beautiful, and there are good places for taking pictures 📷 everywhere.
🎒Dressing suggestions:
I personally tested that wearing white is the best for taking pictures in the snow! 🧢Hats, �� gloves, 🕶️ sunglasses, 👘 scarves are all essential items, because the wind on the mountain is strong, you also need to wear non-slip shoes (I accidentally slipped!). If you drive up the mountain, don't forget to install anti-skid chains on your tires.
💰Cost overview:
When I went to Lushan when I was studying, there was a free tour activity for Jiangxi students, so the ticket was free at that time🎫. Student ID can enjoy half-price cable car tickets for 60 yuan (round trip), and you can find various restaurants on the mountain to eat, including hot pot, KFC, stir-fry, etc., and there are also many small supermarkets.
Are you ready? Let's embark on the snow journey of Lushan together! ❄️🌟

Mei Lu Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Before coming to Lushan, I often heard people mention the villas in Lushan. There is a dusty past behind each old villa. These houses bear witness to the historical changes and it is worth spending half a day to carefully visit.
For a long time, how many architectural styles have been reflected in the number of villas in Lushan, and there have been 636 buildings recently, with 16 national architectural styles, which are amazing.
The villas in Lushan are full of views, while the Mei is one of the best. "Mei Wei", once the Chiang Kai-shek official residence of Chiang Kai-shek, "the chairman of the line", was the "beautiful house" of the "first lady" life. It is a unique human landscape in Lushan, showing one side of the modern history of China.
This villa was built in 1903. The overall design and construction of the garden fully reflects the beautiful concept of the garden city that was born at the end of the 19th century. Originally the building was built by Lord Lannoz of the United Kingdom and was transferred to Ms. Barry in 1922. Ms. Barry had a deep personal relationship with Song Meiling. In the summer of 1933, Ms. Barry gave this villa to the Chiang Kai-shek couple. In 1934, Ms. Barry presented the villa as a gift to Song Meiling. Since then, Song Meiling has become the sole owner of this villa.
"The beautiful garden" overall garden construction, also to follow the natural style as the highest purpose, do not care about artificial decoration, but focus on the careful arrangement of the situation. A small path cleverly revolves around the scenery, allowing people to watch and taste.
Meilu Villa
Meilu Villa is located in the Lushan Scenic Area in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, and is a famous cultural landscape unique to Lushan, showcasing one aspect of the ever-changing modern history of China. Meilu Villa has been home to the highest leaders of both the Nationalist and Communist parties, making it the most famous villa on Lushan Mountain. Leaders of the two parties, who had been adversaries for many years, successively moved into the same villa, a phenomenon that is truly unique in Chinese history. Thus, 'Meilu Villa' has become an indelible memory of Lushan.
