Are there any interesting places near Lushan Mountain?

Lushan guling scenic spot

Lushan south scenic spot

First, visit

In China, self-help travel and play are the most important. Setting spiritual goals is just like setting strategic guidelines in wartime. There are only two ways to play Lushan Mountain. One is short-term sightseeing. Most people come to Lushan to see several fixed scenic spots for three or four days. The second is to relax for a while, not to see the scenery, but to live in a different environment. There are many sanatoriums (mostly state-owned units) for these people in Lushan Mountain. I belong to the former, mainly introducing the former's play. So, first of all, introduce the basic geographical and cultural situation of Lushan Mountain to help you decide whether to go or not. Lushan Mountain is located in the suburb of Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, bordering on the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake, with an altitude of about 1, 500m m. It is famous for its mountains, green forests (it can't be called forests, but in good conscience, few places in China have this qualification) and waterfalls, with fresh air and beautiful scenery. It is said that the highest temperature in summer does not exceed 32 degrees Celsius, and the average temperature is less than 17 degrees Celsius. It snows in the mountains in winter, and the traffic is inconvenient. It is rainy and foggy in spring and autumn. In a word, Lushan Mountain is a summer resort, and the best tourist season is summer. Therefore, whether it is the Kuomintang or the * * * production party, everyone likes to come to Lushan for meetings in summer, and everyone should know it well. But then again, this season (July and August every year) is also the most crowded time on the mountain, and it is also the time for all the people on the mountain to sharpen their knives. Accommodation and tickets are twice as high as in the off-season. If I want to come again, I will come in spring and autumn. Lushan Mountain has become one of the economic pillars of Jiujiang and even Jiangxi Province because of its early fame, so the management is still very standardized and the supporting facilities are very complete, which will be introduced later. So it's definitely more expensive, but the basic price tag won't make you feel that your life and property are not guaranteed.

Second, the route.

After determining the tourism strategy, of course, it is to formulate tactics. To arrange a tour, you must first make a route. Let me introduce the route to visit Lushan Mountain. Lushan Mountain is located in the suburb of Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, and is a district of Jiujiang. However, some scenic spots on the mountain and under the mountain belong to several counties in Jiujiang City (mainly Jiujiang County, Xing Zi County and Dean County), and there are loopholes in management. You can go to Lushan by train, plane and ship. If you take the train, Jiujiang is on the Beijing-Kowloon Railway, so you should sit directly at Jiujiang Railway Station (there is also Jiujiang County Railway Station, don't make a mistake), and some local trains stop at Lushan Station, but it is not as convenient as getting off at Jiujiang Railway Station. From Jiujiang Railway Station, you can take the bus 1 yuan all the way (the bus station is on the right), or you can take the bus from 5 yuan to Jiujiang coach station. Starting from the long-distance bus station, there are CMB and buses going up the mountain, which is very convenient. The fare is 9 yuan, and it takes about 1 hour from Jiujiang to Guling Town. If you fly, you have to take Nanchang Changbei Airport. It takes about 2 hours from Nanchang to Jiujiang by expressway, and there are many cars. It is said that there is also a bus directly from the airport to Guling Town of Lushan Mountain, which takes about three hours. There are several buses going to Nanchang Airport every day in Guling Town, Lushan Mountain, but not as many as Jiujiang. So, I have to inquire about the time in advance. I have never tried the route of an airplane. Take a boat, that is, take the Yangtze River, or sit ashore in Jiujiang, and then take a bus up the mountain from the long-distance bus station.

Generally speaking, you live in Lushan, where there is a small town called Guling. All the cars going up and down the mountain just now ended in this town. It is said that there are more than 10,000 permanent residents, and there are many hotels and restaurants in the town, ranging from Xinhua Bookstore, banks, Internet cafes, digital printing shops to dairy stores. This is also the reason why I said that the supporting facilities are complete. Most hotels are in this town, and all the scenic spots on the mountain are also seen from here.

The tourist attractions of Lushan Mountain are mainly divided into several blocks. First, the scenic spots on Lushan Mountain (the so-called first-line and second-line scenic spots); Then there are the scenic spots under Lushan Mountain, mainly Xiufeng, Bailudong Academy, Taohuayuan and Wenquan Town. The third is the scenic spots around Jiujiang, mainly including Longgong Cave and Shi Zhongshan. Generally, tourists mainly play the first kind of scenic spots and have time and energy to play the second kind of scenic spots. The people who go to the third kind are mainly locals or people who go to play for the second time. When it comes to going up the mountain, we must first have a basic geographical orientation. With Jiujiang as the center, Lushan Mountain is basically a little east of the south of Jiujiang, and Nanchang is just south of Jiujiang. It takes two hours to get to Nanchang from Jiujiang by taking Changjiu Expressway. There is another road, National Highway 105, which is basically beside the expressway (is it a bit wasteful? ), Changjiu Expressway and National Highway 105 pass through the west foot of Lushan Mountain. When I went, I was repairing the Huanshan Expressway. To the west, I took the Changjiu Expressway, National Highway 105. In the east and south, I'm repairing it. It is said that it will be open to traffic on New Year's Day next year. Xiufeng and Bailudong Academy mentioned earlier belong to Xing Zi County in the southeast of Lushan Mountain. Take a long-distance bus from Jiujiang to Xing Zi (get on the bus at Jiujiang coach station) to these two places. First go to haihui town, where Bailudong Academy was not far from haihui town, then go to Xing Zi County, change trains from the county seat (as long as all the cars heading west arrive), and then walk a short distance (about 2 kilometers) to Xiufeng Scenic Area. Taohuayuan and Wenquan Town are at the foot of southwest Lushan Mountain, so it is not convenient to go now. It should be convenient to take the 105 National Road from Jiujiang and Tong Yuan Town to the west of Lushan Mountain. These scenic spots will be connected after the opening of the highway around the mountain.

Let's talk about a few uphill routes first. Lushan Mountain has three main mountain gates, namely, North Gate, South Gate and East Gate. I don't know the other path. Climbing the mountain is too difficult, so although the tickets for Lushan Mountain are very expensive (peak season 135 yuan), there are basically no people who climb the mountain from other roads (the government is very cunning and has to pay for road construction). The north gate is the main road from Jiujiang to the mountain. From Jiujiang to Jia Wei Town at the foot of the mountain, there is a Jiuwei Avenue, which is a good road. Starting from Jia Wei, there are more than 400 bends. Attention, carsick comrades (I saw a car coming down from the mountain with my own eyes, and several men and women who got off the bus vomited on the side of the road, which scared my wife. She took motion sickness medicine first, and then got on the bus to sleep until she survived. The south gate goes up the mountain from Lotus Terrace in Lushan Mountain, mainly for cars from Nanchang (also the way to Changbei Airport). I haven't been there, so I think it should be similar to the North Gate. The east gate is a bit special, so you can't drive up the hill. Take a bus from Jiujiang to Xing Zi, don't go up the mountain after arriving in Jia Wei Town, then go forward, go up the mountain after arriving in haihui town, and pass Sandiequan Scenic Area (the entrance to the mountain of this scenic area belongs to Xing Zi County, so the ticket management is a bit loose, so it is negotiable, but if there is a ticket check on the mountain, be careful). After going up the mountain, take a taxi to Guling Town in the parking lot of the scenic spot, and see people when going up the mountain. In fact, it is a good choice to go down the mountain from Sandiequan, so you don't have to go back and climb the steps. You can put Sandie Spring on the last day, go to Bailudong Academy and Xiufeng after going down the mountain, and then end the trip to Lushan Mountain, but you must arrange the time so as not to miss the train and plane. There is no mountain gate in the west. It is said that there is a road leading to the foot of the mountain in Shimenjian Scenic Area of Lushan Mountain, but as I said just now, it is definitely not easy to walk and it is not open to traffic. You climbed the mountain to death. I suggest that military training and summer camp can be tried.

Finally, the route up the mountain was finished. I don't know if it's clear. Anyway, let's talk about the scenic spots on the mountain now. As I said just now, I usually live in Guling Town after going up the mountain, and I visit all the scenic spots from the town. There are two main routes, the first and the second, which are actually Xishan Valley and Lushan East Valley. First-line attractions such as Qinhu Lake (also called West Lake locally), Huajing, Tianqiao, Jinxiu Valley, Xianren Cave, Garden Buddha Hall, Datianchi, Longshou Cliff, Shimenjian, Power Station Dam, Wulongtan, Huanglongtan, Sambo Tree, Huanglong Temple and Lulin Bridge, while second-line attractions are Lushan Mountain. There are also some fragmentary scenic spots that few people go to, such as Eagle Mouth Cliff, Hero Slope and Nonata. Generally, taxis are used to go to mountain scenic spots. Jetta is relatively new, and there are also some small hotels. Only those with operating licenses can attract customers, and local people's own cars can't attract customers. In addition to coming back, it is best to take a taxi from Lulin Bridge to Guling Town instead of taking a bus. The second-line scenic spots are best chartered, because the second-line scenic spots are far away and all the scenic spots are separated. The transportation between scenic spots is best by car, but it is difficult to get an empty car now, which will delay more time. If conditions permit, chartered cars will be more suitable. Lushan's chartered car will not follow you all day, but will only take you to the gate of the scenic spot, and then make an appointment to pick you up at the next scenic spot. It is more cost-effective to carpool, because no matter how many people (usually 80 to 60), the car is the same.

Third, scenic spots

We arrived in Jiujiang at 9 am on the 23rd. Considering that going up the mountain in the afternoon would be a waste, we decided to play Xiufeng and Bailudong Academy at the foot of the mountain first, and then go up the mountain in the afternoon. So I took a bus from Jiujiang coach station to Xing Zi County (basically every half an hour, the road is difficult to walk, like a roller coaster, and it will be easy to walk soon after the highway around the mountain is repaired. Walk for an hour and a half, and the fare is 70 cents in 8 yuan), and then take a bus from Xing Zi County to the gate of Xiufeng Scenic Area (the famous fork in the road has a poem tablet by Li Bai, and the fare is 1 yuan per person, and the owner 2 yuan wants everyone. She may be. But I gave her 4 yuan because of misunderstanding, and she didn't say a word. When I came back, I found that 1 yuan was enough. Alas, people are not old. After getting off the bus, I walked not far along the shopping mall and reached the gate of the scenic spot. Here, I pay attention to buying tickets. There is also a Huangya Forest Park at the top of Xiufeng Scenic Area. If you want to collect tickets separately, Xiufengmen will usually let you buy a pass to 50 yuan without telling you, but the forest park above is not too big. After entering the mountain gate, take the cable car and sit directly at the entrance of Huangya Forest Park at the top of the mountain (one-way 30 yuan, one-way 50 yuan). After entering Huangya Park from the top of the mountain, I saw the source of the so-called Huangya Waterfall, and then I went back to the original road and began to go down the mountain. The road from the top of the mountain to Huangya Waterfall is steep and tiring, so it's much better to go down. Huangya Waterfall is a waterfall described by Li Bai in his poems. Many people think it's Sanqingquan on Lushan Mountain, but it's actually this Huangya Waterfall. Now you can climb to the bottom of the waterfall and then go down the mountain. Don't go up again. It's not worth the loss, and you don't have to take a cable car. It is estimated that you can go back and forth in two hours. As a result, it took us nearly three and a half hours to get down the mountain, and it was almost four o'clock. Then we drove back to Xing Zi County, and from Xing Zi County to Jiujiang (7 yuan per person). We wanted to play Bailudong Academy on the way, but we didn't get off because we were too tired and afraid it was too late. We get off at Jia Wei Town directly (we don't have to sit in Jiujiang, but we can go up the mountain from Jia Wei). I took a bun from the local people on the mountain (10 yuan). Actually, everyone started it in 7 yuan, but all the foreign tourists are 10 yuan, which is the case in the tourist season. You can also wait for the bus or CMB instead of taking their car. The driver on the mountain will drive to the town in 40 minutes and stop at the mountain gate to wait for us to buy tickets (65438+).

The first-line scenic spots include Qinhu Lake (also called West Lake locally), Huajing, Tianqiao, Jinxiu Valley, Xianren Cave, Garden Buddha Hall, Datianchi, Longshou Cliff, Shimenjian, Power Station Dam, Wulongtan, Huanglongtan, Sambo Tree, Huanglong Temple and Lulin Bridge. You must take the bus back to Guling Town from Lulin Bridge in this order, because it came down from the mountain. We got out of the hotel at nine o'clock in the morning and drove for a long time without encountering an empty car. Later, I found a local steamed stuffed bun, claiming that I took a great risk to send us to Ruqin Lake (it is said that the tourism management department of Lushan Mountain did not allow their local cars to solicit customers, and it cost 10, which is the same price) and started our first-line trip. There were crowds along the way, and all the scenic spots were crowded with people waiting to take pictures. This route is easy to walk in other places except Shimenjian scenic spot, and there are some sections in the middle where you can take a car or cable car, so it is easier. If you follow a tour group, they will usually drag you by car in some places in the middle, which is easy, but you miss some scenic spots and there are many people. For example, it is downhill from Longshouya to Shimenjian, and tour groups all run by car. We walked slowly on this road without meeting anyone and felt quite comfortable. There is also a trip from the power station dam to Lulin Bridge, which is better on foot than by car. What I want to say here is that Shimenjian scenic spot is a separate scenic spot. If you want to collect tickets separately, it is actually a ravine. After buying the ticket, you have to climb down and up the same way. The road is steep and tiring. There is a small waterfall under the canyon. It is suggested that you can come back halfway up the mountain without going down to the end. This scenic spot is of little significance, and many people suggest not to play it. It will be easier if you don't play Shimen sword on the first line, and you will walk most of the day. On the first line, I think Jinxiu Valley is better, the mountains are spectacular, and the road from Longshouya to Shimenjian feels good, because there are few people. There is also a small lake on the road from the power station dam to Wulongtan, surrounded by green hills. Looking across the lake, the bamboo forest on the mountain is beautiful, which means Jiuzhaigou. There are two paths from Huanglong Temple to Lulin Bridge, one is to Lulin Bridge, and the other is to Lulin Bridge parking lot. You should take the latter, because it is difficult to get a taxi back to Guling Town from Lulin Bridge, and there are basically no empty cars, and parking is not allowed there. If you catch it, you will be fined. Of course, if you still want to see Lulin Lake and the former residence of Comrade Mao Zedong, you can take a walk, then go back to the parking lot and take a bus.

The second-line scenic spots include Lushan Botanical Garden, Hanpokou, Wulaofeng and Sandiequan, and the second-line scenic spots are the most famous scenic spots in Lushan. Starting from Guling Town, it goes to the Botanical Garden, then to Hanpokou, then to Wulaofeng, and finally to Sandiequan. These places are independent attractions, each with its own entrance. Botanical garden is not very interesting. This is just a big garden planted artificially. The plants that grow naturally on Lushan Mountain are already very lush, and these artificially planted plants are meaningless. Hanpokou is actually a small mountain peak with a platform from which we can see far away. It is said that we can see Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River, but when we went there, it was foggy and we didn't see anything. Wulaofeng and Sandiequan are basically next to each other. The five old peaks, as the name implies, are five peaks. From the fifth peak, we arrived at Sandiequan Railway Station. Therefore, it is generally to climb the five old peaks first, and then come down from the five peaks to fight three times. If you take another road, you have to climb from the bottom up, which is a little tired, but you can miss a large number of tour groups. Our second line is chartered. In order to stay ahead of the tour group, we set off at 7: 00 in the morning and went to Wulaofeng first. Sure enough, when we went up the mountain, there were few tourists and it was quiet. The five old peaks mainly look at the mountain scenery, and several peaks are very close, so they are not the kind of doctors who look at the mountains and run away. I think the three peaks and the four peaks are the most beautiful. 10 or so, get off at the railway station from Wulaofeng to Sandiequan Scenic Area (the parking lot of Sandiequan Scenic Area is also here). Note that this is not the mountain gate of Sandiequan Scenic Area. From here, you can take the rail car to the pass of Sandiequan Waterfall or walk. We chose to walk. In fact, this section of the road is along a stream (I don't know if it is the water source of Sandie Spring), and the downhill is a bit slow. Walking is easy, much more fun than taking a rail car. Along the way, the stream is clear and the trees on both sides are lush, so we can occasionally go down to the stream to wade. I think it is the most relaxing section of Lushan Road. It took us about an hour and a half to stop and go. At the end of the stream, you reach the lower pass of Sandiequan Waterfall, which is actually at the top of the waterfall. Sandiequan Waterfall is the most famous scenic spot in Lushan Mountain. It is said that even if you don't look at Sandie Spring, you will come to Lushan Mountain for nothing. The waterfall is divided into three layers, almost hanging from the top to the bottom. The waterfall is sandwiched between two peaks, so you have to go down the steep steps to the bottom of the valley, and then climb up the same way after watching it (as mentioned earlier, you can also go down directly from the foot of the mountain, but most tourists have this staircase, which is what many people who have been to Lushan Mountain before call the scary ladder. It is said that there are more than 3000 steps, which are very steep. There are many skates on this road. At your service at any time. It should be noted here that there are two levels on this step from the top of the mountain. The first one is the place to check the sign of returning to the mountain. The sign of going back to the mountain is a small badge, which proves that you have gone down the mountain and bought a ticket for Lushan Gate, so you can go back directly to the mountain to prevent people who come directly from the mountain from buying tickets for Lushan Gate. The sign for going back to the mountain is one yuan, and you can pay it back when you come back. We didn't return it, so it was kept as a souvenir. The second place is where tickets for Sandie Spring are sold. Many people backed out here, so they saved money to buy tickets. In fact, the 3,000-plus steps here are about halfway down. After all, you can see a pool of dark green water. Looking up, a spectacular waterfall unfolds in front of us. The waterfall is white, hanging from the cliff, passing through two platforms and divided into three sections. There was no rumbling. The waterfall is quiet like a white scarf, but people can't help but feel the magic of nature. Interestingly, you can't see the waterfall until the bottom of the valley. Think about how difficult it is to see this waterfall hidden in the depths of the mountain when the ancient Lushan Mountain has not been developed. The feeling of seeing her at that time should be more shocking and wonderful than now. The pool under the waterfall is not big, but we can row a boat. We rowed the boat under the waterfall, looking up at the white water drops running down and touching the cool pool water. It takes some effort to climb back, but we silently counted the steps without looking up, and even climbed up in one breath, faster than when we went down. That's what people do. The more difficult the road ahead is, the easier it is to feel tired. You won't feel tired if you can't see it. After that, it's over. Back in the parking lot, we took the back train, which felt quite suitable. On the one hand, we had a rest. On the other hand, we didn't miss the scenery along the way. We spent about 4 hours eating and playing in Sandiequan. We got on our chartered car from the parking lot and went straight to Hanpokou. On the way, I heard from the driver that even on the steps of the Five Old Peaks, we took more than 7,000 steps. I didn't see anything at Hanpokou, and it was foggy in the distance. At the foot of the mountain, there are two ropeways connecting two scenic spots, one is Dakou Waterfall, and the other is Taiyi Village Scenic Area. Both of them take the cable car down first and then take the cable car back. Instead of going to Dakou Waterfall, I went to Taiyi Village. This play is boring. Known as the Kuomintang's general villa, it is actually an old house that has been in disrepair for a long time. Because I just saw Sandiequan Waterfall, I have no interest in Rainbow Waterfall, which is said to be very small. We went down for half an hour and came back by cable car. You should also talk about watching the sunrise when playing the second line. Lushan mainly watches the sunrise in two places, one is Hanpokou and the other is Wulaofeng, which is better than Hanpokou (it is said that it is best to watch it in Sifeng). It is about 5 o'clock in summer and 6 o'clock in spring and autumn, but it is said that it is difficult to see the real sunrise on Lushan Mountain, because it is foggy for more than 200 days a year, and it will only dawn in the morning when the sun is invisible. Moreover, it is difficult to climb the mountain before dawn in the morning, so we gave up the plan to watch the sunrise (the taxi wants you to charter a car to watch the sunrise, which will not only collect more money, but also won't delay them from pulling more guests back).

In addition to the first and second lines, we also visited the villas in Lushan Mountain, mainly in the valley southeast of the main street of Guling Town, such as the beauty salon, Lushan conference site, Deng Xiaoping Villa, etc. We can walk slowly. These old villas are next to some sanatoriums of state organs, with neat planning and clean slate roads. The courtyard and the courtyard are full of trees, which is a bit like a villa on Gulangyu Island. I didn't go to Lushan cinema to see the romance on Lushan this time. This cinema is dedicated to this film which has been shown for n years.

Fourth, trivial matters

Talk about some matters needing attention in mountain life. First of all, the hotels on the main streets of Guling Town are basically small hotels, and the accommodation is relatively cheap, but the life is convenient. Other better hotels are basically located in the valley southeast of the main street, such as Lushan Hotel, Villa Village Hotel and Xiao Xia Hotel. These hotels are more expensive and far from the main street. Generally, take a taxi to the main street (basically 10 yuan, mainly uphill,

There are many restaurants in Guling town, but the sanitary conditions are not very good, but they are basically not very expensive and the service is ok. It is more polite to eat more and eat less. Many Shi Niu restaurants and restaurants with a little flavor introduced on the Internet are located in remote alleys, with poor sanitation, but local people often go to eat. It's a small park restaurant next to the street garden. It's cleaner. There is an old-fashioned pot-stewed stall next to the restaurant, where the pot-stewed roast duck is quite good. Shisan (stone pot chicken, stone pot fish and stone pot ears) is a special dish of Lushan Mountain. It feels very ordinary and has no special taste. There are many supermarkets on the main street, where the daily necessities are not much different from those under the mountain, but the local specialties are quite different. It is best to shop around. What we buy most is water, and we need four or five bottles every day. If we go to the scenic spot, it will cost at least twice as much.

There is a Hongye Booking Center near the main street of Lushan Mountain (at the entrance of Lushan Hotel), where you can book train tickets and air tickets. It seems that most hotels on Lushan Mountain book tickets through them, and I have never seen other ticket offices. I can't buy a train ticket back to Beijing at all. I was going to fly back, but I didn't expect to book a berth ticket for the return train from him. Although the booking fee is very expensive (40 yuan is the train ticket), it still saves a lot compared with the plane.

In addition, some people sell Ganoderma lucidum in Wulaofeng, and when they see tourists coming, some will climb up from the cliff, indicating that their Ganoderma lucidum was picked from the cliff, but please don't be fooled.

In addition, there are many tour guides on Lushan Mountain, and someone will take the initiative to find you at every scenic spot. I don't think it's necessary to find a guide. You can find the first-line scenic spots by yourself according to the map, and there are tour groups along the way. Listen to them. When you look for a tour guide, sometimes they are in a hurry, but they will miss some scenic spots. There are few forks in the second-line scenic spots, so there is nothing to introduce. In fact, this natural landscape is mainly seen by myself, and all legends and allusions are there.

Tickets for scenic spots with few people on the mountain can be discussed. For example, in Shimenjian, we bargain with the conductor and pretend that it is too expensive to go. Finally, one person's ticket was saved, as well as the slide in Xianren Cave, where two people can save one person's money by car, and the cable car from Pokou to Dakou Waterfall and Taiyi Village. Because there are few people going, you can make a counter-offer, and the fare is a bit expensive. They are also afraid that tourists will lose little.

It's a pity that I want to go to Taohuayuan this time. As a result, I couldn't go because of the inconvenient transportation. Peach Blossom Garden is a relatively new scenic spot, at the foot of southwest Lushan Mountain, few people know it. When the highway around the mountain passes, maybe we will go again. In a word, Lushan had a good time. Everyone should make a good route and prepare physically. I hope this article can help friends who want to go on a self-help tour.
