Lushan Mist and Rain, Zhejiang Tide - First Experience of Lushan

"Lushan mist and rain, Zhejiang tide, countless regrets until arrival. Once there, nothing else matters, Lushan mist and rain, Zhejiang tide." It takes about 3 hours to drive from Wuhan to the Lushan North Gate Visitor Center in Jiujiang. You can park your car in the paid parking lot, then take your luggage to the sightseeing bus station on the second floor of the visitor center. It must be said that July and August are the peak seasons for Lushan, with many tourists from both local and other places seeking to escape the heat, making everything more valuable. As a result, the prices of accommodations have doubled. It is hard to find a room for around 400 yuan, and the prices are not cheap. Taking the sightseeing bus, you can feel the twists and turns of Lushan's winding roads. Many passengers feel dizzy, and some children even vomit continuously... This is the true face of Lushan. As for "From the side, it forms a ridge; from the front, a peak. The view changes with distance and height. One cannot see the true face of Lushan, only because one is in the mountain." And "The sun shines on the incense burner, producing purple smoke. From afar, the waterfall hangs on the front river. The torrent falls straight down three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way is falling from the sky." Once you get on this speeding bus, you can feel the meaning contained within. The ancients did not exaggerate! This is also the Nanshan described by Tao Yuanming. Here, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze River, Poyang Lake, and Jiujiang. It is truly breathtaking and worth the trip! It takes about an hour by bus to reach the Xiaotianci Station on the mountain. Continuing forward is the final stop, the Yun'guan Station... This is also near the main street of Guling Town, where various dining and shopping stores are gathered. The Guling Grand Hotel is right across the main street. Here, you can find KFC, Tasting, Mixue Bingcheng, Luckin Coffee, Starbucks, and Xinhua Bookstore. In the evening, there are lively concerts on the main street. Listening to music, looking at the night view of Jiujiang below the mountain, and feeling the refreshing breeze is also a pleasure in life... ——Li, July 19, 2024, Year of Jiachen, June 14
