Lushan Summer Escape | Summer Special, Unlock the Cool Wonderland
| Summer Special, Unlock the Cool Wonderland. Dear friends, is the scorching summer heatwave making you feel overwhelmed? Don’t worry, come to Lushan in Jiangxi, a perfect summer resort with an average temperature of only 22.6℃, allowing you to easily escape the heat and enjoy a refreshing summer!
🌟【Cool Wonderland, Refreshing Temptation】While other places are scorched by the blazing sun, Lushan remains cool, with morning and evening temperatures often between 15 - 20℃, truly a natural “air-conditioned room.” The mountain is densely vegetated with a high forest coverage rate, a natural oxygen bar where every breath is fresh, instantly refreshing your body and mind. Strolling through the mountains, the breeze blows away the heat, making it incredibly pleasant. Moreover, Lushan has many waterfalls and streams, such as Sandie Spring and Bilongtan Waterfall, where splashing water brings a touch of coolness, making the summer heat vanish among the mountains and waters.
💥【Cultural Mountain, Rich Heritage】Lushan is not only a summer resort but also a cultural mountain. Bailudong Academy, an ancient center of education and Neo-Confucianism in China, where Zhu Xi once lectured, still echoes with a thousand years of scholarly voices, letting you feel a strong cultural atmosphere. The mountain also hosts many celebrity villas; Meilu Villa witnessed historical events, featuring diverse architectural styles blending multiple national characteristics. Walking among them feels like traveling through time. Additionally, “One Mountain Hides Six Religions,” where Buddhism, Taoism, and other religious cultures coexist harmoniously. The smoke from Donglin Temple’s incense wafts gently, exuding a unique religious charm.
✨【Stunning Scenery, Must-Visit Spots】Jinxi Valley is lined with strange peaks and jagged rocks, shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland; Huajing Path is the poetic place described by Bai Juyi’s verse “When April flowers fade in the human world, peach blossoms begin to bloom in the mountain temple,” full of romance when strolling through it; Wulao Peak resembles five elderly men sitting side by side, and from the summit, you can overlook the magnificent Poyang Lake, with breathtaking lake and mountain views. There is also the glass skywalk, suspended between mountains, where walking on it offers thrilling excitement and panoramic views of Lushan’s beauty, perfect for stunning photos.
