When friends from the north start sharing snow photos, do you, as a southerner, begin to feel itchy with anticipation? Don’t worry, Lushan Mountain, the "Snow Country of the South," is about to present you with an icy fairy tale! This snow viewing guide specially crafted for southerners will help you unlock the most healing winter ice and snow adventure this season. 🗓️ 1. Best Snow Viewing Period: Timing is Key According to historical weather data, snow scenes on Lushan Mountain mostly appear above 800 meters elevation. Golden Period: Late December to the end of February is the prime time to enjoy Lushan’s snowy scenery, especially from Christmas to around the Chinese New Year, with an average of over 20 days of possible snow. Travel Advice: It is recommended to pay attention to mid-January to early February, when the snow cover is thickest and the scenery most captivating. Before traveling, be sure to check weather forecasts through official channels like the "Lushan Meteorological Station" to avoid missing the perfect sunny days after snowfall for great photos. 🚗 2. Transportation and Tickets: Efficient Ways to Get Up the Mountain 1. How to Get to Lushan Mountain High-speed train/train: Prioritize arriving at "Jiujiang Station." From there, take bus No. 57 to the lower cable car station of Lushan. If arriving at "Lushan Station," take the free shuttle bus to the transfer center, then transfer to a 10 RMB bus to reach the cable car station. Self-driving: Mountain roads on Lushan may be icy in winter, so self-driving up the mountain is not recommended. You can park your vehicle at the cable car station parking lot at the foot of the mountain and take the cable car or sightseeing bus up. 2. Ways Up and Ticket Prices Tickets: The Lushan Scenic Area all-access ticket costs 160 RMB per person (valid for seven days). Eligible students and others can enjoy discounted tickets. Cable Car: Round-trip ticket costs 120 RMB per person, taking about 7-10 minutes to reach the mountaintop town of Guling safely and efficiently in snowy weather. Sightseeing Bus: Tickets cost about 90-100 RMB, valid for seven days, covering transport up and down the mountain and between scenic spots at the top, making it a convenient choice for touring. 🗺️ 3. 2-Day 1-Night Highlight Route: Perfect Blend of Snow Scenery and Culture This route is designed for snow viewing, with relatively concentrated spots within walking distance. 🌨️ Day 1: Guling Fairy Tale Town and West Line Ice and Snow Adventure Morning: Arrive at Guling Town and check in. This mountaintop town at 1167 meters elevation, with red-roofed buildings covered in snow, offers a unique charm. Afternoon: Walk from Guling Town to Ruqin Lake. The lake surface is frozen like a mirror, surrounded by snow-covered pines, resembling scenes from "Frozen." Then visit the nearby Huajing Trail, stroll in the snow, and feel the poetic atmosphere. Late Afternoon: Explore Xianren Cave, a Taoist sacred site that feels even more serene after snowfall. Evening: Head to Central Park or Nonata Courtyard (Little Heavenly Pool) to overlook the snow-covered valley and villa clusters, enjoying the sunset. ❄️ Day 2: Sunrise, Sea of Clouds, and Ice and Snow Fairy Tale Early Morning: Go to Hanpokou to watch the sunrise (recommended arrival before 6:30 AM). When the dawn colors the sky red, the sea of clouds and snowy peaks frame a breathtaking scene. Morning: Walk to Lulin Lake, where the frozen lake surface reflects the snow pines, an excellent spot for shooting stunning ice and snow fairy tale photos. Noon: Return to Guling Town for lunch. Afterwards, depending on your energy and time, visit cultural sites like Meilu Villa to experience the elegant charm of historic architecture in the snow. 🧥 4. Gear and Clothing: Southerners’ Warmth and Photo Guide Winter temperatures on Lushan can range from -8°C to 0°C, with even colder feels in the mountains, so be sure to dress warmly. Warm Clothing: Down jackets/fleece jackets, fleece-lined pants, thermal underwear, and waterproof, non-slip hiking boots are essential. Hats, gloves, and scarves are a must. Safety Gear: Ice cleats (anti-slip shoe covers) are crucial! Some slippery sections are impassable without them. Photo Tips: Wear brightly colored clothing to stand out against the white snow. Soft light in the early morning and evening is ideal for photography. 💡 5. Practical Tips and Pitfall Avoidance Accommodation: It is recommended to book hotels or guesthouses in Guling Town and nearby in advance for convenience and more dining options. Confirm winter operation status and snow policies when booking. Avoid Peak Times: Snow viewing season attracts many visitors, so try to enter the park early. Cable cars are less crowded in the morning and around noon. Safety First: Some spots (like Sandiequan Waterfall) may have icy steps in winter, so watch your step carefully. Avoid walking under eaves or trees with icicles. Food Experience: Don’t forget to try Lushan specialties in Guling Town, such as the "Lushan Three Stones" (stone chicken, stone fish, stone ear fungus) and cloud mist tea to warm up. This winter, why not set off for Lushan Mountain and fulfill your dream of a silver-white winter wonderland in this southern ice and snow feast! ☃️

Experience the essence of Jiangxi in two days for about 2000 RMB per person! I cycled through the rapeseed flower sea in Wuyuan, climbed Lushan to watch the clouds roll by, and moored overnight at Poyang Lake listening to the whispers of fishing fires. When the first ray of morning light shines on the terraced fields of Jiangling in Wuyuan, tens of thousands of acres of golden rapeseed flowers spread like a tide from the foot of the mountain to the clouds. Villages with white walls and black tiles appear intermittently, smoke curls from chimneys, and the sounds of roosters and dogs fill the air—I stand on the viewing platform and take a deep breath, the air full of the fragrance of earth and spring flowers. At this moment, I finally understand why Jiangxi is called "China's Most Beautiful Countryside" and why poets and scholars have written about returning to pastoral life here for centuries. This time, as a travel blogger, with a budget of less than 2000 RMB per person for two days and one night, I connected Jiangxi’s most representative natural and cultural highlights—Wuyuan flower viewing + Lushan sea of clouds + Poyang Lake fishing boats singing at dusk—to start a deep journey blending pastoral poetry, mountain grandeur, and vast rivers and lakes. 🌼 Day 1: Fall into Wuyuan’s spring, ride into a golden dream in an ink painting Depart early morning from Hangzhou East Station (about 3 hours direct by high-speed train G-series to Wuyuan Station, ticket price 214 RMB). Upon exit, there is a dedicated shuttle to Jiangling Terraced Fields Scenic Area (ticket 80 RMB, open only in spring). This is one of the world’s top ten most beautiful terraced fields and the pinnacle of China’s rapeseed flower landscapes. Mid-March is peak bloom. I rented a mountain bike (30 RMB/day) and cycled along winding country roads. Riding through the sea of flowers: The layered terraced fields roll like golden waves; Old farmers lead cattle to plow by small bridges and flowing water, creating the most touching "spring plowing scene"; Tea leaves freshly picked are spread on drying platforms at village entrances, filling the air with fragrance. Midway, I entered Xiaoqi Ancient Village (included in the pass), known as "China’s Tea Village," a quiet and deep Hui-style ancient village. On both sides of the bluestone alley are century-old houses with exquisitely carved door lintels, and courtyards planted with royal chrysanthemums and ginkgo trees. I sat in a teahouse, tasted a cup of Mingqian Wuyuan Mingmei tea (68 RMB/person), and listened to the owner describe the eighteen-step handmade tea process of "shake, place, press, throw," feeling as if I had traveled back a hundred years. In the afternoon, I drove to Shicheng Red Maple Forest (seasonal, better in autumn) or detoured to Sixi Yan Village to experience the profound culture of Hui merchants. In the evening, I stayed at a designer guesthouse in Hongguan Village (recommended “Moyan·Eastern Retreat” or “Houtang Manor,” about 680 RMB/night for a standard double room including breakfast). The room was renovated from a Qing Dynasty old house, with mountain views from the window and insect sounds at night. Dinner featured authentic Hui cuisine: stuffed red carp, tofu paste, and smoked meat stewed with bamboo shoots, all ingredients sourced from local farms, savory and rich but not greasy. After dinner, I strolled along the creek, hearing a few frogs croaking in the distance. Looking up, the sky was full of stars—here, the Milky Way is never visible in the city. ☁️ Day 2: Climb Lushan, encounter a poetic dwelling on the sea of clouds Set off at 6:00 AM, taking a carpool to the South Gate of Lushan Scenic Area (about 2.5 hours, cost about 80 RMB/person). After buying tickets, transfer to the scenic shuttle bus up the mountain (ticket + sightseeing bus total 160 RMB, valid for five days). The first stop is Hanpoukou, the best spot on Lushan to watch the sea of clouds. When the morning fog surges like a tide from Poyang Lake, peaks appear and disappear, and the distant Wulao Peak looks like a coiled dragon. When the sun breaks through the clouds, golden light fills the valley, and all visitors exclaim in unison. I set up my camera and took dozens of shots but still felt unable to capture this grandeur. Then visit: Botanical Garden: China’s earliest subtropical alpine botanical garden, cherry blossoms bloom like snow; Ruqin Lake & Huajing: Bai Juyi once wrote here, "In the human world, April’s flowers fade, but mountain temple peach blossoms begin to bloom"; Meilu Villa: Summer palace of Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling, a model of Sino-Western architecture; Wangjiang Pavilion: overlooks the confluence of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake, with distinct water colors and magnificent momentum. Lunch at Zhengjie Canteen (about 50 RMB/person): stewed stone chicken with vermicelli, stir-fried wild vegetable with smoked meat, Lushan stone ear mushroom soup, full of mountain wild flavors. In the afternoon, choose to hike the Jinxiu Valley plank road (free), a winding path between cliffs with strange pines and rocks, shrouded in mist like a fairyland; or visit Sandiequan Waterfall (additional ticket 65 RMB), a three-tier waterfall with a 155-meter drop, roaring through the valley. At 3:00 PM, descend and return, stopping briefly at Poyang Lake Wetland Park (ticket 50 RMB) to watch migratory birds resting and fishing boats scattered, the sunset dyeing the lake golden like a flowing oil painting. At 5:00 PM, take the train back from Wuyuan Station to Hangzhou, ending this condensed Jiangxi essence trip. ✅ Cost Breakdown (approx. 1970 RMB per person) Round-trip high-speed train tickets: about 428 RMB Scenic area tickets + transportation: about 375 RMB One night accommodation (shared by two): 680 RMB Meals + local carpool + insurance + souvenirs: about 487 RMB 📌 Travel Tips: ✔️ Best seasons: March–April (Wuyuan flower season), June–August (Lushan summer retreat), November–January (Poyang Lake birdwatching) ✔️ Lushan weather is changeable; be sure to bring a windbreaker, non-slip shoes, and rain gear ✔️ Respect local life: villagers are still working; do not enter homes without permission, and smile before photographing people ✔️ Want to shoot great photos? Recommended spots: aerial shots of Jiangling flower sea, sunrise sea of clouds at Hanpoukou, dynamic water flow at Sandiequan, fishing boat silhouettes on Poyang Lake On the day I left, I pressed a dried rapeseed flower into the "Collected Works of Tao Yuanming." It is not just a memento of spring but my true response to "Plucking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, I leisurely see the southern mountain." If you also want to find inner peace and poetry in one place, Go to Jiangxi— Let Wuyuan’s flowers awaken your eyes, Let Lushan’s wind blow away your anxiety, Let this journey of mountains, rivers, countryside, and philosophy Become your gentlest Eastern dwelling in life.

Always bring your loved one along to visit a real-life "immortal world"! No need to flock to Wangxian Valley or Gexian Village; in Hunan’s Misty Gorge, Sichuan’s Cloud Grasslands, and Anhui’s Ink-Wash Villages, you’ll find natural settings favored even by immortal drama productions. Walk through the mist and mountains with your partner, rest on clouds—this escape guide makes every step feel like a scene from an immortal drama. Laodaowan, Zhangjiajie, Hunan: The Immortal Romance of Misty Gorge Laodaowan is hidden deep within Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie. The gorge is shrouded in mist year-round, with waterfalls like silver ribbons and towering ancient trees shading the sky, resembling a secret valley from "Chinese Paladin." Few tourists visit here, allowing you to enjoy the romantic tranquility of nature. Core Experience: 2 Days 1 Night Immersive Trip Day 1: Explore the Gorge Start at 7 AM from the scenic area entrance, walk along the creek trail with your loved one, watching morning mist drift over the water and sunlight filtering through leaves, as if stepping into a dream. Reach "One Line Sky," where towering stone walls allow only two to pass side by side—holding hands here feels like conquering an immortal challenge together. In the afternoon, visit the "Three-Tier Waterfall," embrace on the viewing platform as the mist forms a rainbow in the sunlight, filling the moment with romance. Day 2: Walk Among the Clouds Take a sightseeing bus to the mountaintop "Cloud Grassland" in the morning, where the meadow is like a carpet and distant mountains appear and disappear in the clouds. Lie on the grass with your loved one, watching clouds roll by, with only the sound of wind and birdsong. In the afternoon, walk the "Glass Plank Road," with a deep abyss below and a sea of clouds beside you. Holding hands, experience the thrill and romance like "sword flying." Food, Accommodation & Tips - Food Recommendation: Try the smoked meat stewed with matsutake mushrooms at the nearby Tujia restaurant. The smoked meat is fragrant but not greasy, the mushrooms fresh and tasty, paired with brown rice for about 40 RMB per person to savor authentic Tujia flavors; rice tofu with secret sauce is a tangy and spicy appetizer perfect after meals. - Accommodation: Stay at "Laodaowan Homestay" inside the gorge, wooden houses nestled in the forest with windows overlooking waterfalls, priced 200-400 RMB per night. At night, fall asleep to the sound of flowing water. - Transportation: About 1 hour by taxi from Zhangjiajie city center (around 80 RMB), or self-drive navigation to "Laodaowan Scenic Area." Parking is free and ample. Songpan, Aba, Sichuan: Cloud Wonderland Beneath Snowy Mountains Songpan boasts snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and lakes. Wildflowers bloom in spring, lush green grass in summer, golden hues in autumn, and snowy white in winter—each season like a heavenly scene from an immortal world. Here, you and your loved one can fulfill a romantic dream of "pledging under snowy mountains and swearing on the grasslands." Core Experience: 3 Days 2 Nights Deep Exploration Day 1: Explore the Ancient Town Upon arrival, stroll through Songpan Ancient Town with its winding bluestone paths, majestic ancient walls, and exquisitely carved gates. Climb the city wall with your loved one to overlook the entire town and feel the weight of a thousand years of history. Dine at a Tibetan restaurant inside the town at sunset, watching the golden light bathe the ancient town, creating a perfect atmosphere. Day 2: Grassland Pastoral Song Drive to "Riganqiao Wetland Grassland" in the morning, where vast grasslands are dotted with cattle and sheep, with towering snowy mountains in the distance. Ride horses or picnic on the grass with your loved one, watching clouds drift overhead. In the afternoon, visit "Flower Lake," where crystal-clear water reflects the blue sky, white clouds, and snowy mountains—every photo is wallpaper-worthy. Day 3: Snow Mountain Pilgrimage Early morning, head to "Xuebaoding Viewing Platform" to watch the sunrise over the snow-capped peaks. When the first sunlight touches the mountain top, the entire mountain glows golden, like a fairyland. Hike nearby trails in the morning to experience the majestic snow mountains up close, then return in the afternoon. Food, Accommodation & Tips - Must-Try Food: Tibetan hand-pulled meat, tender and flavorful with chili powder, about 60 RMB per person; butter tea with tsampa, initially slightly salty but increasingly fragrant, a local specialty. - Accommodation: Stay at "Songpan Tibetan Inn" in the ancient town, decorated with Tibetan style, clean and tidy rooms, 300-500 RMB per night. Some inns offer Tibetan costume experiences. - Notes: Songpan is at high altitude (about 2850 meters). Avoid strenuous exercise upon arrival and prepare oxygen bottles if needed; large temperature differences between day and night mean even summer requires warm windproof jackets. Chaji Ancient Village, Xuancheng, Anhui: Immortal Village in Ink-Wash Painting Chaji Ancient Village is one of China’s largest existing ancient residential clusters. White walls and black tiles line the creek, stone bridges span the water, and black-sailed boats glide slowly, like a moving ink-wash painting, reminiscent of the Yunmeng Jiang clan’s base in "The Untamed." Core Experience: 1.5 Days Leisurely Tour Day 1: Discover the Ancient Village Charm Arrive in the afternoon and enter from the "Chaji Scenic Area Entrance." Stroll along the creek, watch villagers washing clothes and vegetables by the water, feeling the authentic local life. Visit ancient residences like "Degong Hall" and "Erjia Ancestral Hall," where carved beams and painted rafters reveal rustic elegance. Take photos with your loved one inside the old houses, as if traveling back to an immortal world. Dine at a farmhouse restaurant by the creek in the evening, trying the local "stinky mandarin fish"—smelly but delicious, about 50 RMB per person for a feast. Day 2: Morning Mist Wonderland Wake at 6 AM and walk through the village shrouded in morning mist. White walls and black tiles appear and disappear in the fog, like a fairyland. Climb the nearby "Viewing Platform" to overlook the entire village, where mist, ancient houses, and creek form a stunning picture. Capture romantic moments here with your loved one. In the morning, enjoy a "black-sailed boat" ride together, drifting slowly on the creek, listening to the paddle’s splash—relaxing and romantic. Food, Accommodation & Transportation Tips - Accommodation: Stay at "Chaji Homestay" inside the village, mostly renovated ancient houses preserving traditional style, cozy rooms priced 150-300 RMB per night. Some homestays offer creek views from the window. - Transportation: About 2 hours by taxi from Xuancheng Train Station (around 150 RMB), or take a bus to Jing County, then transfer to a local bus to Chaji Ancient Village (total about 3 hours). - Unique Experience: Try making handmade Xuan paper in the village with your loved one, creating a souvenir from your trip. Practical Tips for Couples’ Immortal Journeys 1. Travel Off-Peak: Avoid holidays at Laodaowan and Chaji Ancient Village. Songpan’s peak season is summer (July-August); May-June or September-October are better for fewer crowds and beautiful scenery. 2. Outfit Suggestions: Wear light-colored traditional-style clothing or cotton-linen dresses paired with cloth or flat shoes for easy walking and great photos; bring windproof warm jackets for Songpan, and oil-paper umbrellas for Laodaowan and Chaji to enhance the immortal atmosphere. 3. Save on Tickets: Buy tickets online one day in advance for Laodaowan and Chaji Ancient Village to save 15%-20% compared to on-site prices; some Songpan attractions (like Songpan Ancient Town) are free, and combo tickets for Flower Lake and Riganqiao Wetland Grassland offer better value. These hidden immortal destinations have no noisy crowds, only breathtaking landscapes and a strong romantic atmosphere. Set off with your loved one, make promises amid swirling mist, leave memories in ancient villages and grasslands, and let this journey become your most precious "immortal romance"!

My favorite moderate to high intensity hiking spots: Sandie Spring - Wulao Peak - Xiaotianchi - Dakou Waterfall. These require a certain level of fitness, so there are fewer crowds, and the higher altitude means better air quality! Guling Town on Lushan is small but full of life, with a vegetable market, restaurants, and supermarkets all clustered together. In the mornings and evenings, grandparents dance in the square and practice Tai Chi. The town’s restaurants always serve hot, freshly made meals, full of that home-cooked flavor—no pre-made dishes, which is such a blessing! Plus, none of us eat spicy food, and every restaurant can accommodate that! The sightseeing buses run in an orderly fashion. Although summer is peak season, everything is well organized. It’s a “small but complete” lively atmosphere. Day 1: Sandie Spring Departed from Wuxi, arrived at Lushan Station by high-speed train at noon, checked into a hotel near the cable car at the foot of the mountain. After checking in and ordering lunch delivery, took a taxi to the East Gate of Sandie Spring. The first day’s hike was 2.5 hours, all stairs, quite intense. Came down around 6 pm, took a taxi nearby, had dinner, and rested. Day 2: Wulao Peak - Xiaotianchi Early morning took the cable car up to Guling Town. It was still a bit early to check into the hotel, so we stored our luggage. After breakfast in town, took the sightseeing bus from the main street to Wulao Peak. The hike took 3.5 hours. Came down after 2:30 pm, had lunch on the main street, then returned to the hotel to rest. At 4 pm, set off again, first taking the sightseeing bus to Ruqin Lake, which turned out to be just a lake visible from the bus. The surrounding spots were crowded with tour groups, noisy and hot—definitely not suitable for peak summer tourism. Ruqin Lake and its surroundings are easy and suitable for all ages on the west route, so it’s very crowded. I quickly took the sightseeing bus to Xiaotianchi. The climb to the top takes about half an hour. There were people chanting scriptures, places to drink tea and eat vegetarian noodles. Unfortunately, the clouds were thick that evening, so no spectacular sunset. We descended early to catch the last half of the sightseeing bus back to Guling Town for dinner. After dinner, there was a concert in town. The evening breeze and a stroll made for a very pleasant time! Day 3: Botanical Garden - Dakou Waterfall The third day was the return day. Since staying in Guling Town made it convenient to watch the sunrise, we booked a business car in advance, leaving at 4:30 am and arriving at Yangtianping by 5:00 am to wait for the sunrise. After watching the sunrise at 6:10 am, we returned to the main street for breakfast at 6:30 am. Because we had to take the cable car back home in the afternoon, we chose easier spots. Took the sightseeing bus to Hanpokou, walked around, and enjoyed a panoramic view of the entire Jiujiang City. The round trip took about half an hour, leaving plenty of free time. I thought we wouldn’t have time to visit Dakou Waterfall, but we quickly took a car there. The round trip to Dakou Waterfall took 1.5 hours. This area is especially good for creek trekking, with many small streams in the forest. Like Sandie Spring, there are kayaking activities under the waterfall, but the space is much smaller and the scenery less spectacular than Sandie Spring. If you have to choose between Sandie Spring and Dakou Waterfall for waterfalls in Lushan, I highly recommend Sandie Spring! After Dakou Waterfall, we also visited the Botanical Garden, which records many plant species. Plant enthusiasts will really enjoy this place. With that, all the hiking and trekking in Lushan was complete. Around noon, we took the sightseeing bus back to the main street, had lunch, then took the cable car down the mountain and the high-speed train home.

🌿【A Parent-Child Fantasy Journey Through a Thousand Years】 This summer vacation, bring your kids to Lushan to unlock the poetic and picturesque secrets from their textbooks! Under the natural 22℃ air conditioning, our family experienced the internet-famous starry sky bubble house—outside the transparent dome, the Milky Way is within reach. When the morning sea of clouds flows over the roof, it feels like living in a celestial palace among the clouds. Even more exciting, by scanning the scenic spot’s AR code, you activate the "Lushan Fairy" virtual guide, who transforms into Li Bai to explain the legend of Sandie Spring. Kids recite poems while completing challenges, easily achieving cultural enlightenment! 🌀【A Science Lab by the Waterfall】 Sandie Spring Waterfall is no longer a boring check-in spot! We took the 1.8 km easy route from Lushan East Gate, with babbling streams along the way. When we encountered wild macaques, the kids were so excited they jumped up and down. At the waterfall viewing platform, we used a small basin to catch waterfall splashes for a "rainbow experiment." The kids’ eyes lit up when they discovered the principle of water mist refraction. Don’t forget to bring a change of clothes—the waterfall mist will soak you, perfect for experiencing a natural refreshing shower! 🎮【Hidden Fun in the Bamboo Forest Secret Realm】 Bailudong Academy transforms into an ancient school! Wearing Hanfu, kids try their hand at pitch-pot and lacquer fan making. Under the ancient pine tree planted by Zhu Xi, they copy the "Bailudong Academy Manifesto" and unexpectedly discover 27 "deer" characters hidden on a stone tablet. At dusk, we headed straight to Lushan’s Sand Sea, riding Mongolian horses across the silver-white dunes. While playing children’s go-karts, my daughter said this was the "desert version of Fast & Furious." 🚗【Nanny-Level Pitfall Avoidance Guide】 ✅Transportation: Take the shuttle bus from Jiujiang Station directly to Guling Town. Be sure to buy sightseeing bus tickets (attractions are far apart). During summer, a new bus line runs every 15 minutes. ✅Accommodation: Songmo Homestay’s family rooms come with private soaking pools. At night, watch the outdoor movie "Lushan Love" with your kids. ✅Food: Must-try dishes on Guling Street include stone chicken stewed with chestnuts and cloud mist tea fried shrimp. The kids ate three bowls of rice each! ✅Money-saving: Guangdong visitors get 50% off tickets on Thursdays with ID. Night tours of the live-action show "Lushan Echo" also offer a chance to win Longquan sword bookmarks. 🌌【Exclusive Bonus】 Every night at 8:00 PM, Guling Street Central Park turns into a martial arts theater! Kids wear hero cloaks to join the "Lushan Immortal Quest," battling NPCs to win exchange coupons. They end up holding the "Martial Arts Alliance Leader" certificate, laughing with tears in their eyes. Before leaving, don’t forget to take your kids to Hanpoukou to watch the sunrise—when the morning sun leaps out of Poyang Lake and the rosy glow dyes the vast waves red, this breathtaking moment will become the most precious memory of their childhood.

Who gets it! Just rushing to Sandiequan + Xiufeng in Lushan is so awesome! No need to squeeze through the main gate tickets, you can enjoy two highlights in one day. Here's a clear guide for you all～😎 🚗 Lazy version for transportation and accommodation For major transport, head straight to Jiujiang Station! From the station, take a carpool ride to a guesthouse near Lushan East Gate, about 10 minutes away. Staying here is convenient for visiting both spots without the hassle of luggage～ 📍 One-day hiking route (tested and not tiring version) Lushan East Gate → Sandiequan → Xiufeng (the same waterfall as Li Bai’s poem) 🎫 Ticket tips: No need to buy the main Lushan entrance ticket! Just buy tickets for the two scenic spots + cable car separately, saving money and hassle～ First stop: Sandiequan🌊 (3-hour hike but worth it!) Right after entering the East Gate, you’ll see hiking sticks for sale, 5 yuan each, and you can get 2 yuan back when you return it downhill. This deal is a must! The stick really helps with climbing, otherwise the steps are quite tough😅 Buy a 20-yuan round-trip sightseeing bus ticket first, ride it to the end, then hike a short distance to the Sandiequan ticket gate. Adult tickets are 63 yuan, just buy them at the ticket office on the day. To save money, you can also buy a sightseeing bus + ticket combo a day in advance. Don’t rush while climbing the steps! You’ll pass a small waterfall halfway, and the breeze mixed with mist is super refreshing. Take a few photos and rest a bit, and half your fatigue will disappear～ When you finally see Sandiequan, you’ll understand what shock means! The three-tier waterfall hangs on the cliff, the roar of water is thunderous, and every photo looks like it’s straight out of a painting. No matter how long you climb, it’s worth it!📸 Second stop: Xiufeng🌁 (Ancient poetry comes to life!) After returning to the East Gate from Sandiequan, navigate to “Xiufeng Supermarket”! It’s right by the road, and from here you can take photos with the exact same perspective as the famous line “The waterfall plunges straight down three thousand feet”! The scene from the poem suddenly comes alive, so snap a few shots quickly～ Then take a taxi to Xiufeng Scenic Area, buy your ticket, and head in. It’s recommended to take the cable car up and hike down, 2 hours round trip is enough! On the way down, you can get close to the waterfall, with mist floating on your face, feeling cool and refreshing—much more immersive than viewing from the bottom～ 💡 Little tips The Xiufeng Visitor Center offers luggage storage! Hiking with just a small bag is so much better～ Also! Be sure to visit during the rainy season! The waterfall’s volume is so great it sprays mist, making photos look naturally filtered and 10 times better than in dry seasons! The experience is top-notch💦 Follow this route for a fulfilling day without rushing, and avoid the crowds. Ladies, quickly save this and go!
