High marks for the accommodation in Lushan, thank you very much.

I also just returned from Lushan last week. I would like to talk about my own experience, but I don’t expect you to adopt it. There were two of us. We were in a bit of a hurry before we went. The hotels on Ctrip-like websites were all booked. Later, we registered on Lushan Home. Lin Zai called us on the way up the mountain and told us that the Lushan Hotel had temporarily unavailable rooms.

When I arrived in town, I found that the hotel was not as important as it said online. I asked several hotels along the way and found that the room rates for the decent-looking three-star hotels on the main street of Guling all started at 400. They were all facing the street. Because it was the weekend, they were usually slightly lower. There are also various aunts on the street who will take you to the so-called family hotels. The rooms with public bathrooms are priced at 180 to 200. After checking it out, you can reach her house through twists and turns from the main street. It looks like a farmhouse. The facilities in the several rooms were extremely basic. I felt so cold after looking at them, so I turned around and left. Finally, I went to Lushan Hotel, which is just opposite Meilu. It has a single-door courtyard. Premier Zhou’s house collapsed in the past. It costs 400 yuan. The duplex building has a living room on the first floor and a room on the second floor. It feels very good. It also includes breakfast and tickets to Meilu. Excluding tickets and breakfast, it costs more than 300 per night, which is more cost-effective than the street hotel on the main street.

It is best to book a hotel around Guling Street. It is very convenient for eating, taking a sightseeing bus, or going down the mountain from the bus station. The Tai Chi Hotel around Lulin Lake is a bit far away. Yes, the sightseeing bus stops after 7pm, so you have to take a taxi to get there. Don't stay in that hot spring hotel, which is still halfway up the mountain. Don't listen to some people on the Internet who say that you can play in the mountains. If you live in Jiujiang, it takes an hour to get to the mountain from Jiujiang. Do you have to buy a 180 ticket to the mountain the next day? If your accommodation requirements are not too high, you can consider staying in a youth hostel. I know of the Nature International Youth Hostel and Bigfoot Youth Hostel. They have ticket rooms with bathrooms, and there are also multi-person rooms with high and low beds. They are relatively clean and the living room is open. Free Internet access is available in the *** area, and it is very close to Guling Main Street.

As for the route, it depends on how many days you play. The general rule is the west route and the east route. Therefore, the sightseeing bus is also divided into east and west lines. The bus card has maps and attractions for both lines. Three days is enough for you to follow along. All can be reached by eco-friendly sightseeing buses on the mountain, which cost 80 per person and are valid for seven days, which is very convenient. Don't listen to taxi drivers asking you to charter a car. For 120 a day, except for sightseeing cars, other cars are not allowed to go to the scenic spots.

The west line starts from Huajing, Jinxiu Valley, Immortal Cave, Yubei Pavilion, Yuanfo Hall, Datianchi, Longshou Cliff, and ends at the power station dam. It's downhill all the way, so save your effort. If you continue walking down from Longshou Cliff, you will reach the suspension bridge, and then you will reach the place where you can take the cable car. You can only take the cable car up to the dam. On the way down from Longshou Cliff, locals may enthusiastically trick you into taking a shortcut to the left to get to the cable car. It may be a little closer, but you missed the suspension bridge, the only scenic spot on this part of the way. Alas, if I had known better, I would have I took a sightseeing bus from Longshouya back to the main road to the dam, and then took a sightseeing bus back to the town, which delayed me for nearly an hour. It is mentioned on the Internet that after the power station dam, we will go to Sanbaoshu and Wulongtan. I suggest not to go because this section is all uphill and too tiring. We stayed on the east line the next day and arrived at Lulin Bridge Station. We walked down the path beside the bridge to Sanbaoshu. The whole journey was downhill, and we came out to the power station dam.

The first half of the eastern route is mostly filled with cultural landscapes, such as Meilu Villa, Zhou Enlai Memorial Room, the former site of the Lushan Conference, and the museum. The only tiring scenic spots on Lushan Mountain are Wulaofeng and Sandiequan at the end of the east line. If you want to challenge your physical fitness, you can try to go up to Wulaofeng in the morning and then go down to Sandiequan in one day. The scenery is very nice, but you have to go back the same way when you go down to Sandiequan. It is very hard but worth it. There is a section in the middle where you can take a ropeway. , but there is an additional charge. Most tour groups abandon this section of the route, so it is not as crowded with tourists as the western route. When going to tourist attractions, it’s best to leave at 7 a.m. to avoid the rush hour for group tours after 9 a.m.

Have fun! In addition, water and food in scenic spots are very expensive. If you plan a one-day trip, it is best to prepare your own dry food and water in the town. Went back to town to eat in the evening. The sightseeing bus ends at 7pm.
