Awe-inspiring! Ascend Mount Lu and encounter a wonderland of seas of clouds and sunrise.

"I do not know the true face of Mount Lu, only because I am within the mountain." Mount Lu, this ancient mountain standing majestically in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, attracts countless tourists with its unique charm, inviting them to unveil its mysteries. 🚗【Itinerary】 Day 1: Arrive at Mount Lu - Guling Town - Ruqin Lake - Flower Path - Bai Juyi's Thatched Cottage - Splendid Valley - Fairy Cave Morning: Upon arrival at Mount Lu, settle in at Guling Town and experience the tranquility of this mountain town. Guling Town is filled with buildings in the style of the Republic of China era, and the streets are lined with unique shops and restaurants. Noon: Enjoy Mount Lu's specialties, such as the "Three Stones of Mount Lu" (stone chicken, stone fish, and stone ear). Afternoon: Stroll along Ruqin Lake, where the water is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding green mountains and trees. Then, walk along the Flower Path, where Bai Juyi once composed poems. The imagery of "In April, the world's flowers have faded, but the mountain temple's peach blossoms are in full bloom" still lingers. Visit Bai Juyi's Thatched Cottage to learn about the poet's life on Mount Lu. Afterward, enter the Splendid Valley and walk along the winding mountain paths, admiring the grotesque peaks and rocks. Finally, arrive at the Fairy Cave and appreciate the magnificent view of "A fairy cave born of nature, with boundless scenery on the dangerous peak." Day 2: Hanpokou - Five Old Men Peak - Three-Fold Spring Morning: Head to Hanpokou, an excellent location for viewing the sunrise and Poyang Lake. When the first rays of dawn shine down, the golden light blankets the lake's surface, creating a spectacular sight. Late Morning: Challenge yourself with a climb up Five Old Men Peak. The five peaks resemble five old men sitting side by side. Although the climb can be challenging, the scenery at the summit is definitely worth it. Standing atop the peak, overlooking the rolling mountains and the churning sea of clouds, you'll feel like you're in a fairyland. Afternoon: Visit the Three-Fold Spring, where "the flying stream plunges down three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way is falling from the ninth heaven." Descend the steep steps, and you'll hear the roar of the waterfall before you even reach it. Up close, the majestic water cascades down from a great height, splashing up layers of spray, creating a breathtaking spectacle. 🎫【Tickets and Transportation】 1. Tickets: Mount Lu entrance tickets cost [X] yuan. Some attractions, such as the Three-Fold Spring, may require separate tickets.
