Things to do in De'an

This is the world's largest golden statue of Maitreya Buddha, two meters taller than the Statue of Liberty, and 30 kilometers of gold were poured into its body. A straight staircase leads directly to the statue. Worshippers should walk on the right side, where the wooden flooring makes it easy to bow. Tourists should walk on the left side, where the terrazzo flooring is tiled. This scenic area is free, built with donations from believers from around the world. However, entry is restricted after 5:30 PM, so it's recommended to visit early in the morning.

Mount Lu is beautiful, but the fog was too thick, so we couldn't see the sea of ​​clouds, which was a bit of a shame. Also, it's really cold on the mountain, so be sure to dress warmly and don't get sick 😷

Just as the Terracotta Army stands in the north, the Marquis of Haihun Kingdom in the south! The Haihunhou State Site Park is an absolutely breathtaking cultural feast. Stepping into the museum, the 115 kilograms of gleaming gold artifacts and mountains of Wuzhu coins instantly give you a glimpse into the ultimate luxury of the Han Dynasty. Whether you're a history buff or a family traveler, this place is definitely worth a visit!

The景区 staff were great; when the cable car broke down, they proactively offered to push an elderly person in a wheelchair. The scenery was so-so; the waterfall had very little water flow since it wasn't the rainy season, but it was still worth the ticket price.

After much hesitation, I finally chose Lushan West Sea as the last stop on my trip to Jiangxi. I had read many online reviews praising its beauty but also criticizing its management, citing issues like an inefficient itinerary and long wait times for boats. However, my visit today was a pleasant surprise. On October 3rd, it was drizzling at West Sea, and the misty, dreamlike atmosphere while strolling in the rain was simply wonderful. First, I took a boat to the Yudao Islands, but my main focus was on the Nine-Linked Islands. I continued by boat to Sangtian Island, then visited Sangtian Island, Canghai Island, Mingzhu Island, the Wooden House Town, West Sea Star, Ruoxi Island, and Goddess Island, finally returning to the Sima Visitor Center from Yunju Island Wharf. The scenery here is breathtaking, especially the panoramic view from the West Sea Star. Capturing the beauty with a drone, it evoked a feeling reminiscent of Qiandao Lake, but with a different kind of beauty. The boardwalk connecting Huaguo Mountain and Ruoxi Island resembled a giant dragon stretching across the lake, winding and magnificent. Not only does it offer beautiful scenery, but it also boasts excellent service. Staff members are stationed at every island, main road, intersection, and bridgehead, providing warm, polite, and attentive directions and assistance to tourists. In short, this trip to Lushan West Sea was well worth the visit and I would definitely go again.

This was my first time riding a cable car with such a large capacity—it can carry 30 people! And it's very fast, reaching the top of the mountain in just seven or eight minutes. The experience was excellent. It would be even better if the price were a bit cheaper.

Although it's a man-made scenic area created by a dam, it's absolutely worth the price. The water and sky blend seamlessly, islands are scattered like stars, and floating bridges and boats are very convenient. The weather was perfect when we went, and everything was just right.

There are three major hot springs in China, Huaqing Hot Spring in Lintong, Shaanxi, Maoming in Guangdong, and Lushan Hot Spring in Jiangxi. Especially Lushan Hot Spring, with its unique geographical location in the deep mountains and jungles, is rich in a variety of minerals that are beneficial to the human body. With Chinese medicine conditioning, soaking in the wonderful hot spring water and breathing the free oxygen ions of the natural oxygen bar, it would be a lie to say that you don’t want to come again.

The San Die Quan Waterfall truly lives up to its reputation. The scenery is completely different from Huang Guo Shu Waterfall. Climbing nearly 3000 steps up and down, my legs were shaking. But the feeling of the waterfall's mist splashing on you after reaching the top was truly magical.
