My favorite moderate to high intensity hiking spots: Sandie Spring - Wulao Peak - Xiaotianchi - Dakou Waterfall. These require a certain level of fitness, so there are fewer crowds, and the higher altitude means better air quality! Guling Town on Lushan is small but full of life, with a vegetable market, restaurants, and supermarkets all clustered together. In the mornings and evenings, grandparents dance in the square and practice Tai Chi. The town’s restaurants always serve hot, freshly made meals, full of that home-cooked flavor—no pre-made dishes, which is such a blessing! Plus, none of us eat spicy food, and every restaurant can accommodate that! The sightseeing buses run in an orderly fashion. Although summer is peak season, everything is well organized. It’s a “small but complete” lively atmosphere. Day 1: Sandie Spring Departed from Wuxi, arrived at Lushan Station by high-speed train at noon, checked into a hotel near the cable car at the foot of the mountain. After checking in and ordering lunch delivery, took a taxi to the East Gate of Sandie Spring. The first day’s hike was 2.5 hours, all stairs, quite intense. Came down around 6 pm, took a taxi nearby, had dinner, and rested. Day 2: Wulao Peak - Xiaotianchi Early morning took the cable car up to Guling Town. It was still a bit early to check into the hotel, so we stored our luggage. After breakfast in town, took the sightseeing bus from the main street to Wulao Peak. The hike took 3.5 hours. Came down after 2:30 pm, had lunch on the main street, then returned to the hotel to rest. At 4 pm, set off again, first taking the sightseeing bus to Ruqin Lake, which turned out to be just a lake visible from the bus. The surrounding spots were crowded with tour groups, noisy and hot—definitely not suitable for peak summer tourism. Ruqin Lake and its surroundings are easy and suitable for all ages on the west route, so it’s very crowded. I quickly took the sightseeing bus to Xiaotianchi. The climb to the top takes about half an hour. There were people chanting scriptures, places to drink tea and eat vegetarian noodles. Unfortunately, the clouds were thick that evening, so no spectacular sunset. We descended early to catch the last half of the sightseeing bus back to Guling Town for dinner. After dinner, there was a concert in town. The evening breeze and a stroll made for a very pleasant time! Day 3: Botanical Garden - Dakou Waterfall The third day was the return day. Since staying in Guling Town made it convenient to watch the sunrise, we booked a business car in advance, leaving at 4:30 am and arriving at Yangtianping by 5:00 am to wait for the sunrise. After watching the sunrise at 6:10 am, we returned to the main street for breakfast at 6:30 am. Because we had to take the cable car back home in the afternoon, we chose easier spots. Took the sightseeing bus to Hanpokou, walked around, and enjoyed a panoramic view of the entire Jiujiang City. The round trip took about half an hour, leaving plenty of free time. I thought we wouldn’t have time to visit Dakou Waterfall, but we quickly took a car there. The round trip to Dakou Waterfall took 1.5 hours. This area is especially good for creek trekking, with many small streams in the forest. Like Sandie Spring, there are kayaking activities under the waterfall, but the space is much smaller and the scenery less spectacular than Sandie Spring. If you have to choose between Sandie Spring and Dakou Waterfall for waterfalls in Lushan, I highly recommend Sandie Spring! After Dakou Waterfall, we also visited the Botanical Garden, which records many plant species. Plant enthusiasts will really enjoy this place. With that, all the hiking and trekking in Lushan was complete. Around noon, we took the sightseeing bus back to the main street, had lunch, then took the cable car down the mountain and the high-speed train home.

Choosing the right homestay is crucial when visiting Jiujiang! Yu Jian (Jiujiang Station Wanda Plaza Branch) ensures "convenience" is built into your itinerary, making a 3-day stay absolutely delightful. The location is unbeatable! It's just a short distance from Jiujiang Station, so you won't have to drag your luggage unnecessarily. Right next to Wanda Plaza, it's super convenient for grocery shopping, buying local specialties, or having a proper meal. If you crave milk tea or barbecue at night, it's perfect for lazy travelers! The rooms feature a minimalist INS style with cream-colored walls and wooden furniture, making them great for photos. There's a floor-to-ceiling window that provides excellent lighting, and the morning sunlight creates a warm and cozy atmosphere. The bedding is soft and skin-friendly, ensuring a comfortable sleep. Toiletries are fully provided, showing thoughtful attention to detail. The owner is incredibly helpful! They send detailed directions and check-in instructions in advance, assist with luggage upon arrival, and offer free access to a washing machine and drying area. After a day of exploring, you can wash and dry your clothes, leaving them fresh and fragrant—super convenient! Getting around is hassle-free too! You can take a bus to Lushan Scenic Area from Jiujiang Station, which is just a 5-minute walk away. Smoke Water Pavilion and Xunyang Tower are about a 15-minute taxi ride, and there are shared bikes downstairs for exploring the old town—perfect for soaking in the local vibe. If you're visiting Jiujiang and want a convenient and comfortable stay, this place is a no-brainer. The value for money is unbeatable!

Upon arriving at Jiujiang Wanda Plaza, the lively atmosphere immediately draws you in. This bustling shopping destination is not only home to a wide variety of brands but also features many value-for-money stores. For instance, we visited a store called 'Beautiful Woman' and picked up several daily essentials like wet wipes and cotton swabs at very affordable prices, making it hard to resist buying a few extra packs. As we continued exploring, we stepped outside the plaza and discovered Zhao Yiming, a shop filled with an array of snacks that instantly caught our attention. Jiujiang Wanda Plaza is more than just a shopping venue; it’s a vibrant reflection of the city’s energy. A stroll around the plaza leaves you feeling fulfilled and delighted.

#August2025 When you visit Jiujiang, Jiangxi, don't miss the local Happy City shopping mall. More than just a shopping center, it also combines dining and entertainment, making it a popular weekend destination for locals. I bought some Lay's cucumber-flavored potato chips at the supermarket. I'd never seen them before, and they're refreshing and unique. I highly recommend trying them! Also, there's the popular local hand-shaken drink shop "Hongdu Thumb." Their Snow Top series milk tea is highly recommended. Topped with rich whipped cream and paired with the tea base, it's sweet, smooth, and unique, making each sip truly soothing. These little discoveries make travel more than just sightseeing; it's also about experiencing the local flavors. It's truly fun!

Yiting Hotel is a boutique city hotel brand under Yuanzhou Group. Located next to the Jiujiang Yuanzhou Sheraton Hotel, Yuanzhou Yiting Hotel boasts an unbeatable location in the city center of Jiujiang, adjacent to Nanhu Lake and the government building, making travel very convenient. Compared to the Sheraton, it offers great value for money, ideal for business travelers on a budget. 1. The hotel lobby is shared with the Sheraton but has its own independent check-in area. The overall style is modern and minimalist, with very appealing home-style color schemes that I think suit young people well. The entire check-in space is open, featuring not only the front desk but also a lounge seating area. Further inside, there is a boutique shop selling cultural and peripheral products at quite reasonable prices. 2. Yiting has 195 carefully designed guest rooms, among which the lake view rooms are particularly unique. The Tingyue Lake View King Room measures 20-22 square meters and is located on floors 10 to 13. Upon entering, a 1.8-meter-wide king bed greets you, with soft bedding that seems to invite you to relax fully. 3. The room includes a lake view leisure desk and a comfortable sofa area. Looking up, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Nanhu Lake. Whether it’s the first ray of sunlight shimmering on the lake in the morning or the tranquil lake illuminated by dazzling lights at night, it is truly refreshing. It is especially suitable for couples to enjoy a romantic atmosphere and a world for two, while solo travelers can find a peaceful sanctuary for the soul here. 4. The Yiting Lake View Suite is equally enticing. With a spacious 50 square meters, it features a 1.8-meter king bed in a cozy bedroom area. The suite also has a separate living room area, providing a more luxurious and comfortable stay. High-end business travelers can easily handle work here; families will appreciate the spaciousness that makes everyone feel at ease. The room colors are lightly luxurious and fashionable, creating a modern and stylish atmosphere. Honestly, it looks quite nice and is very comfortable to stay in. 5. The hotel is surrounded by rich tourist resources, adjacent to historic sites such as Xunyang Tower and Yanshui Pavilion, and within easy reach of famous attractions like Lushan Mountain, Donglin Giant Buddha, and Bailudong Academy. While enjoying high-quality service, guests can also easily experience Jiangxi’s natural scenery and the cultural heritage of Xunyang. 6. For dining, Yiting has its own breakfast restaurant.

Who gets it! Just rushing to Sandiequan + Xiufeng in Lushan is so awesome! No need to squeeze through the main gate tickets, you can enjoy two highlights in one day. Here's a clear guide for you all～😎 🚗 Lazy version for transportation and accommodation For major transport, head straight to Jiujiang Station! From the station, take a carpool ride to a guesthouse near Lushan East Gate, about 10 minutes away. Staying here is convenient for visiting both spots without the hassle of luggage～ 📍 One-day hiking route (tested and not tiring version) Lushan East Gate → Sandiequan → Xiufeng (the same waterfall as Li Bai’s poem) 🎫 Ticket tips: No need to buy the main Lushan entrance ticket! Just buy tickets for the two scenic spots + cable car separately, saving money and hassle～ First stop: Sandiequan🌊 (3-hour hike but worth it!) Right after entering the East Gate, you’ll see hiking sticks for sale, 5 yuan each, and you can get 2 yuan back when you return it downhill. This deal is a must! The stick really helps with climbing, otherwise the steps are quite tough😅 Buy a 20-yuan round-trip sightseeing bus ticket first, ride it to the end, then hike a short distance to the Sandiequan ticket gate. Adult tickets are 63 yuan, just buy them at the ticket office on the day. To save money, you can also buy a sightseeing bus + ticket combo a day in advance. Don’t rush while climbing the steps! You’ll pass a small waterfall halfway, and the breeze mixed with mist is super refreshing. Take a few photos and rest a bit, and half your fatigue will disappear～ When you finally see Sandiequan, you’ll understand what shock means! The three-tier waterfall hangs on the cliff, the roar of water is thunderous, and every photo looks like it’s straight out of a painting. No matter how long you climb, it’s worth it!📸 Second stop: Xiufeng🌁 (Ancient poetry comes to life!) After returning to the East Gate from Sandiequan, navigate to “Xiufeng Supermarket”! It’s right by the road, and from here you can take photos with the exact same perspective as the famous line “The waterfall plunges straight down three thousand feet”! The scene from the poem suddenly comes alive, so snap a few shots quickly～ Then take a taxi to Xiufeng Scenic Area, buy your ticket, and head in. It’s recommended to take the cable car up and hike down, 2 hours round trip is enough! On the way down, you can get close to the waterfall, with mist floating on your face, feeling cool and refreshing—much more immersive than viewing from the bottom～ 💡 Little tips The Xiufeng Visitor Center offers luggage storage! Hiking with just a small bag is so much better～ Also! Be sure to visit during the rainy season! The waterfall’s volume is so great it sprays mist, making photos look naturally filtered and 10 times better than in dry seasons! The experience is top-notch💦 Follow this route for a fulfilling day without rushing, and avoid the crowds. Ladies, quickly save this and go!

Don’t miss the museums – fun and educational for kids! 🔴 **Day 2: Nature Exploration (Adjusted East Route)** 👉🏻 Sunrise at Hanpo Pass → Five Old Peaks → Three-Step Waterfall ⚠️ **Kid Tips**: ❶ Five Old Peaks has 5 summits! With kids, climb only to the 4th peak and turn back – don’t overdo it. ❷ Three-Step Waterfall has 2,600 steps! The mini-train saves 20% of the hike (80 RMB – decide based on your kid’s energy). ❸ Avoid the viral “East Gate Entry, South Gate Exit” route – it’s super inconvenient with kids. 🚡 【Transportation Tips for Families】 ▫️ **Cable Car Fans**: Get off at Lushan Station → 10-minute taxi to the cable car (80 RMB uphill – less walking with kids). ▫️ **Nostalgic Travelers**: Get off at Jiujiang Station → transfer to the sightseeing bus at the North Gate (1-hour winding road – prepare motion sickness remedies for kids). ▫️ **Hidden Route**: Donglin Temple → Xilin Temple → Tao Yuanming Memorial Hall (great for culture-loving kids). ⚠️ **Pitfalls to Avoid with Kids** ❶ Three-Step Waterfall isn’t the one from Li Bai’s poem! The real one is at Xiufeng Waterfall (outside Lushan). ❷ Skip Longshou Cliff in dry season – kids will be disappointed by the “dripping dragon head.” ❸ “Big Sky Pool” is just two small puddles – manage expectations! ❹ All signs claiming “30-minute summit” are lies! Allow extra time with kids. 🏡 【Kid-Friendly Accommodation】 ▪️ **Top Pick**: Stay in Guling Town! Try "Yun Shang Ju" – a renovated Republic-era villa, super convenient. ▪️ **Sunrise Lovers**: Hanpo Pass’s "Shuguang Wei Hotel" (wake-up service at 4:30 AM – no early rush). ▪️ **Avoid**: That viral B&B halfway up Five Old Peaks – inconvenient at night with kids. 🍜 【Kid-Approved Food Guide】 ▫️ **Mountain Snacks**: Sausages (5–10 RMB, price rises with altitude) – pack extra snacks for kids. ▫️ **Guling Must-Eats**: Stone Ear Stewed Chicken, Cloud Mist Tea Cakes – tasty and kid-friendly. ▫️ **Hidden Gem**: Wild Herb Cakes at "Lao Wang Snacks" near the post office – delicious texture. 💡 **Pro Tips for Families** 👉🏻 Five Old Peaks’ sea of clouds beats Three-Step Waterfall! But it requires rain the day before – luck-dependent. 👉🏻 Wild macaques at Immortal’s Cave steal milk tea! Keep kids’ snacks secure. 👉🏻 March is free but crowded! Arrive at the cable car before 7:30 AM to skip lines – easier with kids.
