Lushan Travel | Four Days and Three Nights to See the Misty Rain of Lushan

|Four Days and Three Nights to See the Misty Rain of Lushan. 🌃 Arrived in Jiujiang on the afternoon of the first day, stayed overnight in Jiujiang. 🏡 Took a taxi to Lushan Scenic Area early on the second day, first visited Donglin Temple and Xilin Temple at the foot of the mountain. 🚡 After visiting the two temples, took a taxi to the Lushan cableway, went up the mountain by cableway, and stayed in Guling Town on the mountain on the second night. After arriving by cableway, called the hotel, and the hotel sent a car to pick us up. After settling the luggage, started touring Lushan. ⏰ Started touring Lushan around two o'clock, finished the central and west lines in one afternoon. Remember to buy a bus ticket within the scenic area, it can save a lot of time, but if you encounter large tour groups, you still need to queue for a long time at each stop. The tour of the Meilu villa complex basically ended in two hours, then headed to the Xianren Cave where the endless beauty lies in the perilous peaks (we didn't go to the Great Heavenly Pool, as the posts about it seemed a bit disappointing, especially since I have seen the Heavenly Pool of Changbai Mountain). After finishing Xianren Cave, took the bus back to the town for dinner, and after dinner, saw the beautiful pink sunset at the square in Guling Town. Felt quite tired after walking through Xianren Cave, but that was before experiencing the Wulaofeng and Sandiequan~ ⏰ Departed on time at nine o'clock on the third day to take the scenic area bus to the east line's Wulaofeng and Sandiequan. Since we were descending the mountain that day, we carried all our luggage. It is recommended to carry backpacks or mountaineering bags to Lushan and avoid suitcases, especially if you are descending from Wulaofeng and Sandiequan with a suitcase, you might get stuck halfway. Departed at nine o'clock and reached the foot of the mountain at four-thirty, only God knows what I went through that day, but my legs were done for. The last picture shows the prices for sedan chair rides in Lushan, and you'll understand why I said to carry less. ⏰ After descending the mountain, my 'leader' also took me to visit the Bailudong Academy, then took a taxi to the Guanyin Bridge scenic area, stayed in a homestay within the scenic area, settled the luggage, took a few casual photos, and then rushed to the Ziyang Dike at night. Wow, I couldn't have persisted through the third day's itinerary without the strength of a special forces soldier. ⏰ Went home on the fourth day, since the flight was in the afternoon, went to Xiufeng early in the morning. Since my legs were already useless from the previous day, planned to take the cable car up and down, but when we arrived at the scenic area at seven-thirty, we were informed that the cable car wouldn't start until nine, so we started the hard climb, which was about two hours of full stairway mountain path, all for the sight of the waterfall plunging down three thousand feet. After climbing Xiufeng, I must say we were truly brave. 📍 The words 'since we're here, let's do it' were what kept me going on my Lushan trip. I wanted to visit Lushan because of Su Shi's poem about the misty rain of Lushan and the tides of Zhejiang, which says that before arriving, a thousand kinds of regret won't dissipate. Once there, there's nothing else to do but to enjoy the misty rain of Lushan and the tides of Zhejiang. After the visit, my understanding of the last two lines is that Lushan is great, but it's exhausting, and I won't come again next time.
