They are super close to each other, just one or two kilometers apart, and you can feel the charm of the head of the Xunyang River described by Bai Juyi. Walking through these places is like having a conversation with history, feeling the magic and flow of a thousand years. 🏞Next, let's talk about the foot of Lushan. Here, not only are there famous sites like Bailudong Academy, Xiufeng Waterfall, and Donglin Temple, but also the spectacular scene described by Li Bai as 'the waterfalls fly straight down three thousand feet'! It only costs 120r to take a taxi from Suojiang Tower to Xiufeng Waterfall, and the same price from Xiufeng Waterfall to Lushan Station. In March, Lushan attractions are free of admission, and the cable car offers half-price student tickets, which is an amazing benefit! 🌧To see the waterfall, you must choose a rainy day. Although it's a bit of a gamble, trust me, it's definitely an adventure worth taking! The Lushan cable car may be old, but the feeling of the wind leaking through just adds a bit of fun to the adventure. Two people sitting side by side, ascending through the misty clouds, with an excellent view, as if you are in an ink painting. Even if the water flow of Xiufeng Waterfall is not as strong as other waterfalls, in the misty rain, it is the most eye-catching presence in the entire journey. You can also get off in the middle of the cable car ride to enjoy the view, take a photo with Li Bai, and look out at the waterfall, which is simply awesome! 🚖Finally, take a taxi to Lushan Station, and on the way, you can pass by the Donglin Great Buddha, with the cloudy sky behind the Buddha so spectacular it takes your breath away.
