Just for the scenery, Lushan West Sea is still pretty good

Jiujiang's most magical secret! Encounter the most beautiful mountain and water scenery at Lushan West Sea Yongxiu's hidden fairyland 🍃 Lushan West Sea consists of more than 1,600 islands. On sunny days, the lake water shows a blue-green gradient, and every shot looks like wallpaper-level photography! 📍 Address: Provincial Road 306, Yongxiu County, Jiujiang City 🕒 Opening hours: Open all day (recommended to visit the islands from 8:00 to 16:00) 🌈 Must-try routes: 1️⃣ Fishing Village Islands Hui-style architecture cluster + popular suspension bridge, the red lantern corridor is perfect for photos! 📸 ✨ Hidden tip: At 15:30, there might be a traditional cormorant fishing performance (fishermen in red clothes are very eye-catching) 2️⃣ West Sea Star A glass observation deck at 168 meters above sea level, offering a 360° panoramic view of the Thousand Island Lake ⚠️ Warning: The observation deck charges an extra fee (78 RMB/person), but the free observation deck in the scenic area is equally stunning 3️⃣ Canghai Island → Mingzhu Island A hiking boardwalk connects seven islands, passing by: • Bamboo Forest Theater (chance to catch intangible cultural heritage performances, see photo six) • Water Forest (tree roots soaking in the lake, very magical) 🍜 Food bonus: Leave the scenic area and go to roadside restaurants a few kilometers away, which offer good value for money 💡 Tips to avoid pitfalls: • There are people selling "fast track tickets" at the boat ticket office, ignore them! • Island restaurants have serious price markups, bringing your own snacks is more cost-effective • For ethereal photos, it’s recommended to visit the islands in the morning
