    The Lushan Scenic Area is vast, with attractions scattered throughout, encompassing both natural scenery and historical and cultural sites, requiring ample time to explore and experience. Transportation to the scenic area is somewhat inconvenient. For tourists from other provinces, a direct bus service from Nanchang Airport to Lushan would be ideal, avoiding unnecessary travel hassles. The cable car ride up and down the mountain is quite convenient.

    Mount Lushan is truly a place worth visiting, with its breathtaking sea of ​​clouds and breathtaking scenery. My mom wanted to go this time, so I decided to accompany her. We went in mid-to-late September, off-peak, so there were very few tourists. My mom had a blast and took tons of beautiful photos. Mount Lushan is also very senior-friendly, with free admission for those over 65. Tickets for the cable car are available separately.

    The scenery was nice, but the management was chaotic, and the routes were confusing too. At the intermediate stop, people waited for the sightseeing bus, but there were no queues, no staff, and one bus after another passed by. When one finally stopped, a huge crowd scrambled to get on. After watching the "Promotion to Officials" performance, tourists had no idea which way to go; there was absolutely no suggested route.

    Our tour guide, Xiaofeng, was a gentle and polite young man. He explained things attentively and was very familiar with the museum's collection. He provided detailed explanations of the development of ceramic technology in various dynasties and the museum's finest pieces. It turns out he was even a student at a ceramics university! No wonder he was so professional and detailed. I learned a lot from his explanations and highly recommend him.

    We hired guide number 21, Ms. Xu, for the scenic area. Her explanations were very professional and detailed. This trip allowed me to learn about the processes of porcelain making and firing. The scenic area is beautiful and not too crowded. Highly recommended! You can also buy porcelain and tableware inside the scenic area. The intangible cultural heritage teachers are highly skilled; it was truly eye-opening.

    Nothing particularly special, except that the ancient alleyways left a deep impression. I bought a ticket for the scenic area in order to enter the museum, but I didn't actually explore the scenic area much. The photos turned out pretty well.

    The 10 escalators are a stroke of genius; they're incredibly convenient, especially for the elderly and those with mobility issues. The scenery is beautiful; if you happen to be there with blue skies and white clouds, it'll be absolutely stunning.

    The night view was indeed as magical as advertised, a delightful surprise! Wandering through the food street, I had a fleeting sense of déjà vu, like stepping into the animated film *Spirited Away*. Lanterns hanging from the cliffs, a giant moon atop the mountain, the ever-changing lights on the highest peak pavilion, ancient buildings on the mountainside, streams flowing through the valley—all three-dimensionally distributed, layered upon each other, with interplay of light and shadow, and tourists dressed in ancient costumes—it truly felt like stepping into another era!

    This stay was absolutely fantastic! The cleanliness of the guesthouse far exceeded my expectations. The room was spotless, the bedding smelled fresh, and the bathroom facilities were sparkling clean—not even the corners were missed. As a clean freak, I was extremely satisfied. The owner was also incredibly warm and attentive, patiently sharing everything from directions before check-in to local travel tips and restaurant recommendations after arrival. They even proactively helped with luggage and answered any travel questions, making me feel completely at ease. Staying here felt like home—clean, comfortable, and with the warmth of a friend. I've already recommended it to my friends, and I'll definitely choose this place again next time!

    After consulting online guides on how to easily access Mingyue Mountain, I decided to take a combination of electric carts, cable cars, and more electric carts along the Qingyun Plank Road. The entire route was quite beautiful and well worth a visit. Afterwards, soaking your feet in a foot bath back in Wentang Town would be even more relaxing.
