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.
It is not recommended to drive to Lushan in snowy weather, be sure to pay attention to safety.
Keep warm and remember to prepare a pair of shoes with good waterproof performance.
The snow scene in Lushan is really super beautiful! This winter must come to this southern snow town to step on the snow

Lushan in Jiangxi does not deceive me
The sight of waterfalls cascading down three thousand feet is real❗️ Lushan in Jiangxi does not deceive me❗️ Li Bai's poem 'Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu' has made Lushan famous for over a thousand years, and it is also why I remember this place that I have always wanted to visit, Lushan.
The fragrance of April in the world has faded, but I arrived here in the early spring of Lushan.
Taking the famous Lushan mountain train, I saw the blooming flowers like a sea, and the clouds rolling like waves.
Descending the layers of steps, tracing up the stream, I saw the incredibly stunning waterfall right before my eyes, a magical charm bestowed by nature.
Having been confined for too long, walking in the mountains and pausing in front of the waterfall, I felt the long-lost freedom in my heart.
If you also come to Lushan, do not miss the chance to take the forest's famous little train and feel the charm of nature in front of the Sandie Spring.
Without visiting Sandie Spring, one cannot claim to have truly visited Lushan.
🎫 General admission ticket for the mountain: 160

Traditional Confucian culture
The Donglin Temple has a strong cultural atmosphere, with small exhibitions and a very nice library. Additionally, the Pure Land sect places great emphasis on integrating with traditional Confucian culture, openly promoting Confucian ideas within the temple, which is probably unique.

Lushan's true face, promise me that you must visit it at least once
⛳️With the ancient poet Li Bai's 'The waterfall plunges down three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way has fallen from the ninth heaven' before, and the movie 'Lushan Love' which broke the Guinness record for play counts after, Lushan is a place of wonder.
Lushan is located in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, but to truly see Lushan's true face, one must make the trip themselves to truly feel the awe.
🚗Transportation: There is a high-speed train that goes directly to Lushan Station, which is the closest station to the south entrance of Lushan. There are shuttle buses from the station to the south and north gates of Lushan, costing 10 yuan per person, or a taxi ride for 40 yuan.
🎫Ticket: Full-price ticket is 160 yuan per person, middle and high school students as well as college students pay 80 yuan per person, and people over 60 years old have free admission.
⛳️Warm tips:
Lushan cannot be fully explored in one day. To visit the east, middle, and west lines, it takes three days, so choose the scenery you want to see.
⛳️On foggy days, although Lushan may resemble the scenes described in poems, it is still best to choose a sunny day to come, as the natural scenery is more impressive when the weather is clear.

Travelogue of Mount Lu in Jiangxi
Mount Lu in Jiangxi has seen snowfall, and it feels like it's too hard for people in the south to wait for snow. Mount Lu should be considered the best destination to see snow in the East China region. At Mount Lu, you can not only enjoy the snow, but also appreciate the cultural landscapes. The villas from various countries set against the backdrop of the white snow seem like you've entered a fairy tale town in Europe! This time, I went to a very niche place, which surprisingly gave me the feeling of being in Kanas, Xinjiang. Just one glance and I fell in love with it.

Lushan Mountain in Jiujiang | To see the true face of Lushan Mountain
I was 'PUA-ed' by the slogan 'If you haven't been to the Threefold Spring, you're not a Lushan visitor,' which is written on Lushan's promotional boards and the seat covers of tour buses. It's hard not to notice and it sparked the determination to visit the Threefold Spring.
🚘 Transportation:
I got off at Lushan Station, and it was already 6:30 pm when I arrived. My accommodation was booked in Guling Town, which required getting to the Lushan Scenic Area. The bus from the high-speed train station to the scenic area ends at 6 pm during the off-season, so I missed it 🥲 I had to either share a ride or take a taxi. There were many people soliciting rides at the exit, and it costs about 150 to Guling Town. It's best to carpool if possible~! 💰50 per person
Tips: The mountain roads up to Lushan are too winding! If you get carsick, don't play with your phone 😵
🍛 Dining:
There are convenience stores like Meiyijia, KFC, and many restaurants.

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.

Check in after the snow reveals the true face of Mount Lu!
"Not recognizing the true face of Mount Lu, for I am in the midst of this mountain," this is the best portrayal of Mount Lu. Because Mount Lu is hidden in the mist, like a maiden wrapped in white gauze, from a distance, one can only see the clouds and mist covering the mountains, and its true face remains elusive. To truly understand Mount Lu, one must trek and climb, approach her side, to lift the veil and behold her beauty. Mount Lu in winter is like a serene and spiritual world, clear and elegant like crystal, pure and refreshing like a vacuum, with endless charm. The winter scenery of Mount Lu, its realm, its landscape, its sentiment, and its rhythm, can be called unparalleled in the south of the Yangtze River. A heavy snowfall turns it into a vast white ocean. The original winding peaks, lush forests, and towering pavilions... all become delicate white 'waves'. Those waves, so crystal clear, so pure, so pristine, float like flocks of cranes and geese in this sea of waves.

Travelogue of Mount Lu in Jiangxi
1. Weather❄️: Seeing snow requires luck, so you can follow the blogger's stakeout, or choose a hotel with free cancellation.
2. Hotels🏠: It is recommended to stay near Guling Street, where facilities are more complete, close to the central park, and convenient for sightseeing.
3. Transportation🚌: After arriving at Lushan Station or Jiujiang Station by high-speed train, you can take the cable car (120r round trip, about 10 minutes) or a bus (10r, about 1 hour) to go up the mountain. Taxis to Guling Street are also available (about 50r per car). There are sightseeing buses on the mountain (70r, valid for one week), but some attractions are closed in snowy weather, so purchase tickets accordingly.
4. Dining🍚: Most restaurants on Guling Street are both expensive and not tasty, so it is advised to order meals at least 1 hour in advance. You can also bring instant food to the mountain.
5. Sightseeing🏃: The scenery of Qin Lake is beautiful when it snows and there is fog; on clear days in Central Park, you can see the entire town; the trails around Lulin Lake are photogenic and less crowded.
6. Experience🤩: The snow on Mount Lu depends on the weather, and we were very lucky on the 21st when we went up the mountain, as we saw rime, a heavy snowstorm, and the clear skies after the snow.
The above information is for reference only, wishing everyone a smooth snow-chasing journey!✨

With no obstacles in sight, one can overlook the vastness of the world
The two core scenic areas of Mount Lu are Wulao Peaks and Sandie Spring. Among them, the highest peak of Wulao Peaks is Wulao Peak itself, with the four characters 'With no obstacles in sight' inscribed on the boulder at its summit, hence the peak is also known as the 'With no obstacles in sight' Peak. Now, from the top of Wulao Peak, one can gaze upon Poyang Lake and feel as if they are overlooking the vastness of the world.
Because the five peaks of Wulao are connected and the paths are well-established, it is very friendly for climbers. One can ascend each peak in turn. Interestingly, it is only from the fourth peak that one can have a complete view of all five peaks. From the second peak, one can see the third, which might remind one of the sentiment: 'One cannot recognize the true face of Mount Lu, for it is only because one is in the mountain.'
Besides enjoying the view of the mountains, there are also many hundred-year-old Lushan pines on the mountain, as well as the two-meter-wide Rhododendron king, and in spring, the cherry blossoms bloom, making it a romantic journey that everyone looks forward to.

Travelogue of Mount Lu in Jiangxi
The snowy mountain in the picture is Mount Lu, which is located in the south of the Yangtze River, but its scenery resembles that of the northern landscapes.
I took the photo in the village to the right of the north gate of the scenic area, because the accommodation on the mountain was too expensive (the average price on the night of the 22nd was over 500, and the environment was just average), so I stayed at the foot of the mountain and went up at 7:30 in the morning. Unexpectedly, the village itself was also very picturesque, but it requires a sunny day🌞.
The first stop after going up the mountain was the Little Heavenly Pool, where there were really a lot of people, but the Nona Tower Temple was also very photogenic.
Not far from the Little Heavenly Pool, Wangjiang Pavilion is the best spot to take pictures of Guling Town. There aren't many people there, and it's definitely worth a visit.
[The Ruqin Lake is also crowded, it's better to go early, otherwise the ground is very slippery. Here you can also take pictures of the Splendid Valley (but that day, due to a fire drill, they didn't allow us to go on that rock to take photos).
Finally, it's really cold on Mount Lu, and when I went there was a heavy snowfall, so I stayed on the mountain for an extra day.

The scenery on the mountain is quite ordinary, and the grass is still yellow. Lushan is a summer resort, and the best time to visit is in the summer. I believe that Lushan should be enjoyed slowly, and a two or three-day visit is not enough to truly appreciate its charm. It's a pity that this trip to Lushan was so rushed, I must come back again when I have more time)

One cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because one is in the mountain itself
There are five ways to go up the mountain:
1️⃣ Bus: Take the bus 10③ from the station to the south or north gate of the scenic area, where you can choose to take a sightseeing bus for 90$ or a cable car (round trip for 120$) to go up the mountain 🚌🌲
2️⃣ Taxi: You can choose to take a taxi directly to the south or north gate, and then go up the mountain. It takes about 30 minutes from Lushan Station to the south gate, and about 20 minutes from Jiujiang Station to the north gate 🚖🗻
3️⃣ Direct Taxi: You can choose to take a taxi directly to the east gate, go up to the Sandiequan, which takes about 1 hour, and the cost is about 100$ 💨💧
4️⃣ Self-driving: The pre-booked mountain entry fee is 45$, and the core scenic area is not accessible. You can use navigation to go to Hanpo and climb up the mountain all the way. This method is recommended for people with good physical strength 🚗🏔️
✅ Route Selection:
The eastern route is scenic but more strenuous. The western route is average, and the central route focuses more on culture. The difficulty decreases from the eastern to the western and then to the central route. Choose a route according to personal needs 🗺️🥾
✅ Other tips:
Be sure to buy a direct bus ticket to the scenic area, which is priced at 70 yuan per person, because the attractions are far apart 🎟️🚍
Wearing a T-shirt with a windbreaker is already enough, and remember to bring a raincoat because there is a high chance of rain. If there are three or more people, it is strongly recommended to charter a car, which saves both time and money 💦🌂🚗
It is highly recommended to choose the east gate route to directly experience the charm of the essence of the scenic spots 🤩✨
✅ Notes:
The overall scenery of Lushan is very good, but the transportation costs in the scenic area are quite expensive and a bit circuitous. The climbing experience at Wulaofeng and Sandiequan is great, and the scenery is also very beautiful. If the weather is bad, the scenery on the west route may not be clear, and you can decide to go down the mountain to rush to Longhushan 😄🏞️

Lushan Hotel | B&B Recommendations, I really love it!
🛏【Hotel Guide】
Lushan Zhihong Hotel (Guling Street Meilu Store)
📍Detailed address:
No. 17, Hexi Road, Guling Town, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province
🚗Transportation Guide:
The attractions of Lushan all require a ride to get to, and this cost is included when you go up the mountain, similar to taking a bus, and there is a bus stop near Zhihong Hotel, just a two or three-minute walk, which is quite convenient.
If you are driving yourself, it's even more convenient, because Guling Street has a unified parking lot, which is less than five hundred meters straight distance from the hotel.
🌟Highlights:
Located on Guling Street of Lushan, to be honest, this is the most convenient accommodation point in Lushan scenic area, with many supermarkets and special snacks around, and even many stalls.
Right next to it is the Meilu Villa scenic spot , which is super beautiful, and it's worth visiting as it was resided by great people.
⛱Hotel Environment:
All hotels | B&Bs on Lushan are located inside Guling Street, and the scenic spots do not accommodate people, so the surrounding environment and facilities of the hotel will be very in place, and you can check in directly with your luggage ✔️
Compared with other hotels, Zhihong Hotel has more scenery around it, it's like having a small courtyard inside a villa, which directly maximizes the travel experience, while other hotels are more crowded , because Guling Street is built along the mountain, so the lighting is not very good, but Zhihong doesn't need to consider this problem, because the Meilu Street side is a whole flat area.
💰Average Cost:
The hotel rooms range from 150 to 300, which is affordable. With such a surrounding environment on Lushan, the hotel is basically fully booked during the peak season, so hurry up and book a room when you see this post !
📌Little Tips:
Here's a little tip for all the babies traveling to Lushan, many restaurants and snacks on the mountain can offer discounts, if you say something like 'I will come to eat here after touring around' , the discounted price can be quite substantial, highly recommended

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.

Enjoying the view from the Sky Bridge of Mount Lu
The Sky Bridge is the first scenic spot of the Splendid Valley in the west line of Mount Lu. Entering from the Splendid Valley, the first scenic spot is actually the photo spot of the Sky Bridge, which was built later. The real Sky Bridge is still ahead. Here, the Sky Bridge is where two peaks confront each other, with a deep valley in the middle. A huge rock extends out from the cliff, as if it is about to touch the opposite cliff, so it is called the 'Sky Bridge'. However, because the huge rock that is suspended in the air cannot connect to the opposite cliff, it looks like it is broken in the middle, so it is also called the 'Broken Bridge'.
Babies, it's snowing in Lushan again, come to Lushan to see the rime
