My 24-Hour Elopement with Nature at Mount Lu

Shrouded in mist, the morning fog at Mount Lu envelops the forest tracks as a small train slowly makes its way toward a heavenly realm in the clouds. The mist outside the window resembles an ink painting diffusing on rice paper, creating a poetic realm that seems to whisper "a thousand miles of mountains in just these shades of blue and white." You're not truly a visitor to Mount Lu until you've been to Three-Tier Waterfall! The first ray of morning sunlight pierces through the clouds, bathing the Five Old Peaks in golden light. The mountains gradually emerge layer by layer from the milky white fog. Descending 1,300 stone steps to the bottom of Three-Tier Waterfall, you'll witness the thundering cascade, with its mist unfurling like a flowing landscape painting. Here, you'll find the most perfect interpretation of nature—not only experiencing its magnificent beauty but also discovering the tranquility and freedom deep within your soul. In the afternoon, board the cloud and mist train that seems to traverse through time and space. The cogwheel train surges through waves of clouds at an altitude of 1,000 meters. Ruqin Lake steeps the dark mountain shadows like a cup of biluochun tea. The stone steps of Moonlit Pine Forest are covered with velvety moss, each step feeling like crushing a piece of moonlight left behind from the Song Dynasty. The stone inscriptions of poems along the path are fascinating, filled with cultural richness. The ultimate vantage point for appreciating the misty aesthetics is at the Huawei International Resort Hotel. The rooms offer exceptional views—simply pull back the curtains to enjoy the full panorama of green mountains and lakes, with each window framing a perfect picture. It was Mount Lu's scenery that rescued me from unhappiness. Natural beauty truly heals the heart! Every scenic spot here allows you to feel the power of nature.
