    Nice park to hike. You can also use the bus to visits the different places. I stayed for 2 nights on the mountain. That is enough time to walk everything. If you use the bus, 1 night is fine

    The Lushan Xihai Lake Island Ecological Tourist Area is a scenic area located in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, China. It's known for its beautiful lakes and mountains, with a transparent, mirror-like water surface contrasting with green mountains. The area is ideal for drifting and photography. You can explore the beauty by cable car or on foot.

    [View] Liyang River Scenic Area, my scenery is very beautiful, composed of green trees and green leisure trails of the river water embankment, and couples, family walks with children and friends [interesting] You can drink coffee and chat on the side of the road in groups of three or five Qin, or you can also quail eggs [price-performance ratio]

    In high school, I studied Su Shi's "Stone Bell Mountain Record," a piece about imperial examinations. On the second day of my trip to Nanchang, I found a day trip to explore this unique mountain. The scenic area isn't large, but it's quite unique. It's where Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River meet, offering a breathtaking view of the two-faced natural landscape. There's also a cultural commemoration of Su Dongpo and the Hunan Army's battle against the Taiping Rebellion. It's well worth a visit.

    [View] Located in the hot spring town, it belongs to the Donglin Temple Jingtuyuan. It is said that the Buddha statue is higher than the Statue of Liberty. It feels very shocking. There are many people visiting. There are also many volunteers in the temple. [Interesting] Exercise to understand [Cost-effective] Tickets are free

    San Diequan is a tourist attraction that requires a lot of effort. The cable car can save you an hour and a half of round trip, but at the end of the cable car, you still need to walk up and down 1,300 steps, a total of 2,600 steps back and forth, and you need to walk back. But the waterfall of San Diequan is really amazing, and the 2,600 steps + round-trip cable car are worth it.

    Donglin Temple at the foot of Lushan Mountain is worth taking time to visit. The experience is very good. It takes at least one or two hours to stroll down. The elderly and children do not feel tired when they stroll around. If you come to play Lushan for half a day, it is recommended to visit this trip.

    🌊 Poyang Lake Travel Guide | The Stunning Seasons of China's Largest Freshwater Lake: Birdwatching, Flower Viewing, Sunset Chasing – All in One Article! As China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake is not only an ecological paradise but also a treasure trove for travelers! Whether you're a nature lover, a photography enthusiast, or a cultural explorer, Poyang Lake has something for everyone. Today, we'll take you on an in-depth exploration of how to experience Poyang Lake! 🌿 Best Time to Travel: Different Times, Different Scenery Poyang Lake is beautiful in every season, but each season has its own unique charm: Autumn/Winter (October - March): A Bird Paradise! 98% of the world's white cranes overwinter here. Wucheng Migratory Bird Town and Nanji Mountain Wetland are birdwatching hotspots, where your camera will be filled with flocks of these "international supermodels." Spring/Summer (April - September): Seas of Flowers and Grasslands! During the high-water season, the lake is vast, resembling a "sea"; during the low-water season, grassy islets emerge, and smartweed flowers bloom (late October-November), transforming the lake into a "pink grassland," perfect for camping and photography. 📸 Must-Visit Attractions Wucheng Migratory Bird Town 🦢 Birdwatching Prime Spot: Climb to Wanghu Pavilion to watch thousands of birds take flight, especially breathtaking at dawn and sunset. 🏡 Cultural Experience: Explore the Ming and Qing Dynasty old streets and the Ji'an Guild Hall, experiencing the fishing village charm of this "thousand-year-old town." Nanji Mountain Wetland 🌾 Hidden Grassland: During the low-water season, the lakebed is exposed, forming the "Poyang Lake Grassland," perfect for horseback riding, kite flying, and stargazing. Luoxingdun 🏯 Ancient Building in the Water: A thousand-year-old stone island, resembling a "lonely building in the lake" during the high-water season, accessible on foot during the low-water season—a truly magical experience! Poyang Lake National Wetland Park 🚤 Lake Tour Experience: Take a boat trip through the reed marshes, perhaps encountering finless porpoises playing. In summer, there's also a lotus flower extravaganza. 🍜 Poyang Lake Culinary Delights Poyang Lake's Three Delicacies: Silverfish, Mandarin Fish, and Whitefish—incredibly fresh! We recommend the original flavor of "Lake Fish Boiled in Lake Water." Stir-fried Water Chestnut with Cured Pork: Water chestnuts, a specialty of Poyang Lake, are fragrant, crisp, and tender, a perfect match for homemade cured pork! Fermented Fish: Fish pieces marinated in rice wine, sweet, sour, and slightly spicy—a perfect accompaniment to rice. Food Tips: The most authentic restaurants are in the lakeside fishing villages of Lushan City and Poyang County, such as "Poyang Lake Fisherman's House." 🚗 Transportation Guide High-speed rail: Get off at Nanchang Station/Jiujiang Station, then transfer to a bus or drive (1.5 hours to the main scenic areas). Self-driving: The scenery along the lakeside road is absolutely stunning. A recommended route is Nanchang → Wucheng → Nanjishan → Duchang → Lushan. ⚠️ Precautions Protect the ecosystem: Do not disturb migratory birds, do not trample on the grasslands, and take your trash with you. Safety first: During the dry season, the grasslands are slippery; be careful not to get stuck in the mud. During the high-water season, do not go into the water without permission. Weather forecast: Autumn and winter are windy around the lake; wear windproof and warm clothing. Sunscreen is essential in summer! 🎙️ Blogger's Ramblings: The beauty of Poyang Lake lies in its "wildness" and "versatility"—in a single day, you can witness the ink-wash lake scenery shrouded in morning mist, the afternoon flocks of migratory birds, and the "sunset glow and lone wild geese flying together" at dusk. Here, there is no excessive commercialization, only the most pristine gifts of nature. Suitable for: Parent-child nature education, photography enthusiasts, and niche travel lovers.

    This is a charming resort with many spa activities. I tried the salt therapy (buried in salt) and the fish therapy (the fish nibbled my feet), both were relaxing and enjoyable. There are many hot springs to choose from including pools of ginseng, mint, goji berry, and green tea. The room I chose also had a mini pool in it. Super cool! The resort offered a free Chinese breakfast and my room was cleaned every day. As it is summer now, there weren't many people at the resort so I had a very enjoyable stay here. Lushan is an amazing place, if you visit, then be sure to go to Mount Lu Scenic Spot. I hiked to the San-Die Waterfall one day when I was here. It was amazing to be surrounded by mountains and clouds! Afterward, you can relax at the hot springs at the resort! I will surely visit again!
