Help! Sisters! Lushan West Sea is simply the Maldives of China! A must-visit!

Sisters! I just came back from Lushan West Sea, and I was moved to tears by its beauty! This is not Jiangxi, it's clearly the Maldives of China! You will regret it for a lifetime if you don't come! 😭✨ 🏝 Location: Lushan West Sea, Jiangxi 🌟 Highlights: 5A-level scenic spot, absolutely stunning island scenery 💰 Ticket: 140 yuan (including boat ticket) I originally planned to go to Nanchang, but it was too crowded and hot 🥵 so I changed my plan and came to Lushan West Sea. I didn't expect to find such a beautiful treasure! Jiangxi, you are really foolish not to promote this! 🤦‍♀ Must-share tips: Transportation: There is a direct bus from Nanchang Bus Station, only 20 yuan! Driving yourself is even more convenient 🚗 Accommodation: A day trip is enough, but if you want to take your time, you can find nearby homestays Route choice: Be sure to choose Line A!!! Departing from Sima Wharf, the scenery is amazing! 🚢 Island recommendations: Yunju Island, Goddess Island, Ruoxi Island, West Sea Star, Pearl Island, all stunning! 💥 Precautions: ❗ Sun protection is very important! The summer sun is fierce, so take good sun protection measures ❗ Outfit suggestions: White dresses or red clothes look great in photos! ❗ Physical planning: Walking between islands can be tiring, you can choose the 60 yuan bamboo raft boat I was really amazed by the scenery here! Blue sky, clear water, dotted with small islands, every photo is a masterpiece! And although there are quite a few people, the scenic area is large enough that it doesn't feel crowded at all.

Originally, I thought the Maldives were beautiful enough until I went to this place

A place that can rival the Maldives, not the Maldives but even better. This place is Lushan West Sea in Jiangxi. 👋 A few must-visit spots: 1️⃣ Star of the West Sea: Before coming, I did some research and heard that this is the highest glass observation tower in the country, offering a 360-degree view of the entire Lushan West Sea. You need to buy a separate ticket to take the observation tower. 2️⃣ Zhelin Old Town: This is an ancient town with a long cultural history and unique humanistic landscapes. When you walk in, you'll discover many things you've never seen before. There are also many special snacks here, so you can enjoy the cultural charm while eating. 3️⃣ Goddess Island: The aerial glass walkway allows you to better feel and appreciate the beauty of the West Sea, and there is also a sculpture of the West Sea Fairy. There are also Ruoxi Island (suitable for children to play, with many animals), Yunjue Island (recommended), and Qingfeng Bridge, all worth visiting. They don't cost much 💰, and after a whole day of playing and eating, it cost me less than a thousand. If you don't know where to go during the summer vacation, you can come here!! It definitely won't disappoint you 😜

Explore the beauty of nature and experience a different style at Lushan West Sea Bamboo Wilderness Homestay

There is a quiet and mysterious place hidden in the West Sea of Lushan in Jiangxi—Bamboo Wilderness Homestay. It is surrounded by green bamboo and has a large 'oxygen bar', making me feel as if I am in a fairyland. Walking through the bamboo forest in the morning, the gentle breeze comes, allowing me to fully feel the breath of nature. You can also freely participate in or form teams for outdoor activities, such as camping, hiking, cycling, etc., to experience the charm of nature. This time we freely experienced hiking, which was relaxing and joyful! Then we challenged the high-altitude glass walkway and saw the West Sea scenery from a different perspective. Next, we went to the West Sea for a lake tour, truly feeling the tranquility and vastness of the rippling blue waves. Finally, we visited Zelin ancient town to feel the charm of ancient culture and taste traditional delicacies. In winter, relax in the hot springs, feeling the warmth and comfort; in summer, experience the thrilling rafting projects and enjoy the fun of water activities. Whether it's winter or summer, you can feel a different experience here, find inner peace and release in nature, come and join me to start a different journey again!
