    Tickets are 50% off during this period, there are fewer tourists, and the experience is better. Lushan Mountain has its attractions in all four seasons, but in autumn, of course, it's ablaze with red maple leaves. Hotel prices have also dropped this time of year, making it a good value.

    #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

    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. I have been there 3 times, and I want to bring my baby to experience it next time. The transportation here is also super convenient, which is great!
