Where to travel?

After three days of self-help tour in Lushan Mountain, I was surprised, tired, disappointed and surprised.

I hate being chased by the tour guide with a whip all the time, so I still choose the leisure self-help tour mode. Before going out, I carefully checked all the self-help travel guides of donkey friends, and they were all out of date. Now that I'm back, I'll follow suit and draw the whole self-help tour guide for your reference.

Before going, I heard many people say whether Lushan Mountain was good or not. I once wanted to cancel this trip, but I really didn't want to spend a rare holiday in dirty Guangzhou, so I finally chose to travel.

Statement: If I choose, Huangshan will always be my first choice.

The first day: T 16 1 time 15: 38 guangzhou east railway station-Jiujiang at 03: 48 the next morning, with a berth of about 270, because Jiujiang is the nearest railway station to Lushan, and so is the airport. Nanchang airport or Lushan railway station are far away from the real Lushan scenic spot.

The next day: take a taxi to the long-distance bus station, don't bargain, look at about 7 yuan, and rest in Nanhu Park not far from the long-distance bus station in the morning. It's nice to see lotus leaves in Liutang in the morning.

Experience: I didn't know at first, but I felt very far away. At that time, if I arrived in Jiujiang in the early morning, I should take a taxi directly to Guling Town on the top of Lushan Mountain. At the north gate, about 3 miles from Guling Town, the negotiation price should not exceed 65,438+000 yuan. If it's from Lushan Mountain, I can drive in. If you take a taxi from Jiujiang, you have to pay 45 yuan's entrance fee to see if the driver is willing. The south gate is more than ten miles away from Guling Town, and the east gate is under Sandiequan Waterfall, which is even more outrageous. Do not consider. Of course, you can also book a hotel by phone first, and then directly ask the hotel to help you arrange to pick you up at the railway station or the airport by taxi from Guling Town, so that you can directly reach the hotel in the town at most 100 yuan.

I am very lucky. On the way to Sunshine No.1, I met a Lushan taxi chartered to go down the mountain, so I took a taxi 15 yuan. There is a couple on the bus, and there are 400 bends on Beishan Road. I feel dizzy, but the scenery is good, and the air is good and the negative ion content is high. Talk to the driver more and you won't faint. Halfway through, the driver began to fool. . . Then those two silly little couples followed, which means they were cheated! I got off at Jiexin Garden, next to Lushan Hotel. I saw the big standard room, facing the mountain view. Newly renovated, very spacious, it is very convenient to go to various scenic spots around. There are also many hotels in the central area, only 100 yuan. Check in immediately, haha!

I checked the hotel online before and booked the Taiji Hotel. The asking price is 280, and I'll pay it back right away. The location is on the other side of Lulin Lake, far from Guling Town, and there is no place to eat around. And bid such a high price. Shit!

It shows that Guling Town is at the top of Lushan Mountain and condescending, which is the best place to visit Lushan Mountain. Itself is a small town, very prosperous, convenient for eating and shopping, and convenient for traveling to sightseeing bus. There are many hotels. If you stay, you can go directly to the town to find it. Don't book hotels online. Many online hotels are far from the town. If you are lucky and eat back and forth, you can spend more money to take a taxi later.

The next day, I met two funnier people. They were cheated by taxi drivers, thinking that this town was difficult to live in and expensive. Then they arrived in Guling Town, Lushan Mountain. They paid extra fare, turned around and went back to Jiujiang with the driver to find a hotel, and booked others to play Sandie Spring every day, saying they were waiting at the door. As a result, they left the gate and the car was gone. Haha, don't be too kind!

Back to the topic, get off at the north gate and buy tickets for Lushan Mountain, 180 ocean/peak season, 135 ocean/off season. You should always take this ticket with you in case you accidentally go out of the mountain, which can prove that you bought it. After buying the ticket, you can take the driver's car to Guling Town. The scenery of Lushan Mountain is ok, but the tourism management is very dark, and there are extra charges everywhere. This 180 is basically the entrance fee. The scenery that the eyes can see is an extra charge, which is a lot of money. Therefore, locals say that there are fewer and fewer tourists in recent years, and there is really no style of famous mountains and rivers. I'd rather he charged me 500 votes as soon as he came in, so as to save one trouble after another.

Now in Lushan Mountain, from 7: 00 a.m. to 9: 00 p.m. 19: 00 p.m., taking a taxi is not allowed to run around the scenic spots (except when going out of the mountain), and the distance between the scenic spots in Lushan Mountain is often several kilometers, so you have to take a bus. What should you do? The local government monopolized the tour of the sightseeing bus, which will take you to various scenic spots. The starting price is 65 yuan/person, which is dark enough, but you can sit anywhere within 24 hours. Of course, it can only be used during its operating hours and at various sites, which is confusing enough! If you play for a long time, you can buy a ticket for 80 yuan and sit for three days. You can't say cost-effective, because you have no choice! When you arrive in Guling Town, you can go to the sightseeing station to buy tickets and check your fingerprints. You can only buy it at the town station, but you can't buy it at other stations. If it's not a runaway, it's very troublesome! If you want to watch the sunrise in the morning, the sunset at night, or forget the time, you will be happy. After buying a sightseeing ticket, you can still take a taxi in the scenic spot, but you must bargain hard, or you will be cheated to death!

It's best to look at the map before sightseeing, even when preparing for a trip. Lushan Mountain is divided into two lines, and now there are three lines. It takes one day for each line.

On the first day, you can go to Huajing, just opposite the Zhenhao Supermarket on Dalin Road. It is easy to find. Just walk all the way. You don't need to take a bus. Huajing Park has the famous Ruqin Lake, which is artificial. I took time to clean up the sewage when I went (because the water in this lake doesn't flow). There is the best West Lake Hotel in the lakeside scenic spot, but this scenery can't be stopped. Behind the flower path are Jinxiu Valley and Xianren Cave, and the scenery is still good. It rained that day, and the rain was very light. Some of our friends went to this scenic spot, and it was foggy. We couldn't see anything in the valley, but we were lucky enough to see the process of fog rising from the bottom of the valley and covering the whole mountain. It's beautiful. I believe that if there is no fog, the scenery in the valley will be very good! This is the first line and the only good scenery without charge! It takes about three hours.

After seeing the Fairy Cave, you can take a bus to other scenic spots you want to go to, or you can continue to visit the pile of scenic spots such as Datianchi and Yuanfotai. There is no charge, and it is also within the first-line route, but everyone says it is not good-looking. We set off at noon, and we didn't go after walking through the fairy cave in the afternoon. Sightseeing bus will pass by, there is nothing to see, and we are not interested. This line is the suspension bridge and Shimen creek, which will be discussed later.

We came out of the fairy cave, went directly to the dam by car, and then took the path and passed a small waterfall. There are photos on it. We can walk along the path. There is no obvious road, so be careful. All tour groups will not go to see this scenic spot, so there is no one below, so it is a good place to take pictures quietly. Of course, we won't miss the opportunity to monopolize the waterfall. We ran down three or two times, and when we finished filming, others saw it and ran down. Get out of here.

Then, I took advantage of other tour guides to go to the location of Journey to the West, the small waterfall Huanglongtan, and everyone lined up to take pictures as a souvenir. The scenery is ok. I don't like many people watching scenic spots together. I'm bored to death! However, it rained a lot at that time, so the water was strong. It just cleared up, and many big stones and streams passed through the gap. The scenery is unusual and very fashionable! The scenery on the roadside is more beautiful!

Thanks to the heavy rain, all the scenery is covered with water droplets, which is very spiritual and the air is fresh to the extreme. Traveling in May and June is really the best. Although it always rains, once it clears up, it is always amazing! When there is water, the scenery comes alive!

Huanglongtan is Wulongtan and a small waterfall. The chairman took photos and got to know it occasionally.

Further up, there is a Sambo tree, a thousand-year-old fir tree, two ginkgo trees over 600 years old, and a temple next to it. At first glance, it was renovated by later generations and didn't go in. Sambo Tree is a stop of sightseeing bus. If you are not in a hurry, go ahead for 200 meters. In front of it is Lulin Lake, the water source of Guling Town. It is very beautiful. Premier Zhou learned to swim here. There is a Lulin Bridge on Lulin Lake. On one side of the bridge, there is calm lake water, and on the other side, there is a dam with a drop of 100 meters, facing the deep valley. It really scared me. At that time, at dawn, I looked at the mountains

On second thought, it is rare for Lushan Mountain to see a few days without fog in a year. Wouldn't it be better to go to Hanpokou and see if you can see the legendary Poyang Lake before night comes? Sit on sightseeing bus immediately and March into Hanpokou!

When I arrived, I found how smart I was. After the heavy rain, I was completely unobstructed, and the invincible beauty exhibition appeared in front of you. The mighty Poyang Lake in the distance is unobstructed. I'm afraid this kind of scenery is invisible even when the sun is shining. The air is very fresh and the visibility is extremely high. Then I covered it with a thin layer of twilight. Learn one sentence: Wow, it's beautiful!

Seeing such spectacular scenery, I really don't want to leave. I'm glad you came! Accidentally bumped into beauty!

Go back to town, put down your backpack and eat stone pot chicken and stone pot fish. . . Lushan specialty "Three Stones and One Tea: Stone Chicken, Stone Fish, Stone Ear and Cloud Tea" is about eating. Let's stop here. Before, I found some food recommended by donkey friends online:

1, red apple meal, next to the street garden, is rather shabby. I was going to his house for dinner the next day. I went to eat breakfast first in the morning, and a steamed bread was terrible. Actually charged 10, I went over and said that the peak season is expensive! Shit, let's be clear, I'll kill you! Never go again!

2. Golden Four Seasons local restaurant is also located in the street garden. The decoration is high-grade, but netizens say it is expensive, but the taste is authentic. I thought that in order to eat authentic Lushan specialty, the price of vegetables was much higher than other homes. The boss vowed that the real material was so expensive, and ordered a braised stone pot chicken, steamed eggs with stone pot fish, radish leaf soup ... The best food was radish leaf and stone chicken. It's just that the food is not very delicious. The taste of stone chicken is far from what I ate in Huangshan. Steamed eggs with stone fish spilled a few small fish, and the smell was so fishy that I almost didn't spit it out. I didn't expect the famous stone fish steamed eggs in Lushan Mountain to taste so bad!

3. Some netizens recommend that the roadside shop at the intersection of Hexi Road and Xiangshan Road is a "farm dish". Many people admire driving to eat, let's go find it. There is only one kind of farm food called Haozailai. I don't know if it's that. Go in and look at the menu, damn it! The sky-high price is obvious. This is for tourists. I started to leave. The boss and proprietress greeted me warmly and wouldn't let me go. They see the price is right and want to taste it. We stayed. The so-called bamboo shoots were cooked in the outermost layer of bamboo shoots, which made my tongue numb all afternoon. The stone fish exploded the egg almost black, burned a layer of oily soup and peeled it twice.

4. Shi Niu Restaurant recommended by many netizens walked into the small aisle next to a sporting goods store in the street garden. If you can't find it, you can ask the locals. Climb two stone steps to get there, and it feels better. When you go in, you can tell the proprietress that you introduced her online and ask her to give you a discount. Of course, it's not much cheaper, because the price of their home is very affordable, and it is the most satisfactory thing to eat in Lushan. The food is delicious, and the quantity and quality are sufficient. The next few meals were all eaten at their home, many locals came to eat, and many netizens saw it! This is the way of doing business! Maintain old customers and attract repeat customers!

I don't remember the name. After coming down from Wulaofeng and entering Sandie Spring, I had lunch. From Sandiequan parking lot to Wufeng, walk about 100 meters and turn left. This is not the first farm food. I have to turn left again to see the ticket office of Sandie Spring. There are some tables outside. This kind of farm food tastes good and the price is affordable. Eating before entering Sandie Spring just replenished my strength. But this family will put a few baskets of newly picked tender tea to attract you to buy their tea. There are two kinds. Ok, it should be 40/ 2. The brewed tea is really fragrant, and the tender green tea is also very beautiful. A group of Northeasters were red-faced. They bargained 30/ 2 with their boss and bought a few catties. I thought the price was affordable, so I bought one or two. I came back to town and found that I had been cheated.

Go on, go back to the self-help tour guide. The next day, we woke up naturally and climbed the five old peaks. The weather is fine, but it's a pity that Lushan Mountain is foggy all year round. Originally, I expected to see 270-degree Poyang Lake from Wufeng, but the scenery was still good. In fact, the distance between 12345 peaks is not far. I suggest you walk all the way. Don't trust those tour guides. On the way, I heard several tour guides say that it takes two hours from peak 4 to peak 5, which is simply nonsense. I just don't want to take my guests. Peak 4 also has a small shop, which is dark enough. I told the people who asked for directions that the No.5 peak is far below the mountain, so that people can go back down the mountain the same way after seeing the No.5 peak. In fact, Peak 5 can just visit Sandie Spring. If you listen to him, it will be a long process. He just wants tourists to go to his house to buy things when they are tired on the way back. Shit! Lushan and his party have seen this kind of thing too much. They really do everything to make money. How can this quality develop the scenic spot well? Short-sighted

After dinner in Wulaofeng, you can go to Sandiequan, a must-see scenic spot in Lushan Mountain. Of course, such a good scenic spot is bound to cost extra. Tickets for 53 yuan can be bought at the gate of the scenic spot or at the gate of the third stack. There is a cable car, but the cable car can't take you away from the most difficult thousand steps, but it misses the beautiful scenery along the way. Don't sit down. Lushan Mountain is very comfortable to see streams and play with springs.

After about 40 minutes of beautiful scenery, I began to walk down the steps to Sandie Spring. There will be a sign at the entrance of the scenic spot to change back to the mountain, a small badge, and a deposit of 1 yuan, because even if you go down to Sandiequan, you have to check the sign before you can go back to the mountain, or you have to buy a ticket again. Sandiequan is actually a three-story waterfall, and there should be three scenic spots, namely 1, 2, 3. You can see waterfalls with different heights and angles, but 1 and 2 are free, so in order to force tourists to spend money to see 3, the roads leading to 1 and 2 are blocked locally, so they can only spend money to look up at 655 on the side of 3.

Needless to say, 3 stacks are still worth seeing. The waterfall goes straight down to Longtan and the scenery is spectacular! Just 1400 steps, and my leg broke when I walked. If you really can't hold on, you can take a sedan chair. I saw a super fat woman on the road, and I don't know if I should charge her twice as much. . .

The bottom of the waterfall can directly reach Longtan water, which is deafening. The most beautiful thing in Lushan Mountain is not a mountain, but a waterfall!

If ordinary tourists can go back and climb up again, we just don't want to go back. In addition, it is dawn, picturesque and few tourists. This is a rare opportunity to visit. Just follow the road and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, and it is very quiet, and there are basically no other tourists. After about 40 minutes, we arrived at the battery station facing the east gate, and Sanyuan could sit at the east gate. The last bus was around 7 o'clock. The driver kindly suggested that we "go back the same way" and refused without thinking. Then he told us how far it is from the east gate to the town. There are no cars at night. He even suggested that we go to Jiujiang for one night, and finally put forward a solution. He called us a 200-yuan taxi to take us back. In fact, it's only 100 at most from the east gate to Guling Town. Shit, I have to explain to the driver that I'm not going to the north gate, but to the street center of the town. Our driver tried to throw us at the north gate from the beginning, and we said you wouldn't charge the fare, so he reluctantly found another car to send us in.

Lesson: You'd better find some taxi drivers in town and leave your business cards. If you can't go back accidentally, you can call them to pick them up, and the price is good, because there are few people at night. Although it is not easy for Sandiequan to walk all the way back to Guling Town, I think it is worthwhile to take a taxi, because the scenery below is really beautiful, and there is no need to go back to the high and infinite steps. Take a taxi back from the East Gate, then go to the North Gate and enter Guling Town. At the door, you must check the tickets. At that time, he was checking the photos of the previous day in our digital camera, and someone was checking the hotel deposit. Take it with you.

On the third day, I woke up naturally. After dinner, I went to the dam by bus, and then bought a ticket to take the cable car to Shimenjian. No way, the sightseeing ticket I paid for was not sent to the bottom of Shimenjian, but sent you to the bottom of the cable car, forcing you to make a 50-yuan cable car, and then I spent 42 yuan to buy a ticket to enter Shimenjian. Personally, I think Shimenjian is not as beautiful as Sandie Spring, or it may be because I am tired. Shimenjian can go directly down to Jiujiang.

I went back to the town and visited the villas where Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong both lived. Sure, charge 23 yuan. I didn't expect this villa to be commercially developed. On the second floor of the villa, there is a photo studio on one side and a teahouse on the other. Some tables are playing cards. I'm really impressed. I don't want to see this scenic spot. Of course, if you have time, you can also go to the third line: Bailudong Academy and Shangxiufeng to Baifei Waterfall are thousands of feet away. But everyone said it was ugly and the current was very small, so this line was not arranged. There is a shuttle bus in Guling Town, or you can go to Xing Zi Town to soak in hot springs. If you take a taxi, you can take 200 bags back and forth, and the driver will wait outside, but remember that you can only pay the general fare first.

Go home and take a taxi to Jiujiang airport, 100 yuan. If you go to Nanchang Airport, 300 yuan. If you don't take a taxi to Jiujiang Airport in Guling Town, don't take a bus back to Jiujiang. That's the opposite direction. You get off at another place by bus. It slipped my mind. Ask at the station.
