Two-Day Lushan Tour Guide: Follow the footsteps of the Poet Li Bai to explore the magnificent mountains and rivers of our motherland

🚌【Choose the Right Transportation】 ❌ Absolutely no self-driving! 400 hairpin turns will ruin your breakfast! Local drivers drive like Akina Mountain racing gods, sitting in the back seat will scare you with the "Eighteen Bends of Mountain Road" BGM. ✅ Remember two words: Cableway 1. Take a taxi from Jiujiang city to "Lushan Cableway Lower Station" (accurate location) 2. Buy a round-trip ticket (¥120), scan your ID to enter, the cable car takes 10 minutes straight to Guling Town (saves 1 hour of winding mountain road 🤮) 💡Lazy tip: Choose a transparent cabin, the sea of clouds under your feet ☁️ spreads out beautifully, worth the ticket price. 🏡【Guling Town: Staying here counts as having a Lushan address】 📍 Homestay clusters: Zhengjie Street, Zhihong Road, Henan Road 🔥 Avoid trouble mantra: "Close to supermarket + with a sun terrace" is the way to go → Budget travelers target "Xiaomi Hostel" (¥150/night, balcony perfect for sunset photos ⛅) → Wellness seekers go for "Yunwu Mountain Villa" (¥300/night, bathtub facing pine forest 🌲) 💣 Warning: Don’t be cheap and stay halfway up the mountain, it’s freezing at night and you have to climb a half-hour slope to find food. 🗺️【Two-Day Itinerary】 🌞 Day 1: West Line, easy stroll (all flat paths) ⏰ 8:00 Hop on the sightseeing bus (¥70 for two days, a must-buy) 📍 First stop: Ruqin Lake (10 minutes) —— Don’t rush to take photos of the lake! Walk around to the back of the lake island, sit on the bench to shoot. White bridge and green trees reflect perfectly in the water, no need for grid editing. 📍 Second stop: Huajing (30 minutes) —— Bai Juyi’s Thatched Cottage is a cement replica, focus on the "Bauhinia Flower Wall" 🌸 at the end of the path, full of pink and purple in April, other seasons? Just stroll and leave. 📍 Highlight: Jinxiu Valley (2 hours) 1. At the entrance, pay respects at the "Monkey Feeding Spot" 🐒 (hide your plastic bags, they will rob you) 2. Must-shoot spot: Immortal Cave, don’t shoot the Taoist temple at the cave entrance. Squat on the right stone platform, frame the incense burner and the steep peak together, instantly creating a Taoist martial arts vibe. 3. Stop at the "Sky Bridge," two suspended stones 📸 use perspective to take a "thrilling jump photo," guaranteed to get hundreds of likes on social media. 🌄 Day 2: East Line, exert yourself (grab your trekking poles) ⏰ 7:00 Grab a bun and rush to Hanpoukou (direct sightseeing bus) —— Try your luck to see the sunrise 🌅 If foggy, don’t cry, turn around and shoot the side of Wulao Peak ⛰️, looks like a lying Chairman Mao (locals call it "Leader Peak") 📍 Daredevil choice: Wulao Peak → Brave ones climb the whole route (3 hours): There’s a wild milk tea stall at the four peaks 🥤 (¥25, a rip-off but lifesaving) → Lazy ones climb just the first peak and retreat (40 minutes): Stone pavilion for cloud sea rolling shots, post location to fake summit achievement 👍 📍 Ultimate Boss: Sandiequan Waterfall 1. Must take the cable car train 🚞 (¥80 round trip), saves your legs from 2,600 steps. 2. After cable car, sprint up 1,600 steps, hold the iron chains on lower steps, use hands and feet on higher steps (don’t mind looking ugly) 3. When you see the waterfall, shout out loud, stand by the pool and look up, frame the rainbow 🌈 and yourself together, totally worth it! 💣 Warning: Must return before 3 PM, it’s easy to fall on the steps in the dark and create a sequel to "The Missing Woman." 🍜【Food Guide: Beware of mountain dining assassins】 🥢 Breakfast go-to: Zhengjie Street "Old Wang Zhajiang Noodles" (¥15) with soy milk, free pickled radish. 🍲 Lunch with the group: Order "Stone Ear Mushroom Stir-fry with Pork" + "Lushan Baby Bok Choy" at sightseeing bus stops (about ¥50 per person), don’t order fish, it tastes muddy from the reservoir. 🌙 Night snack king: Zhihong Road "Xiaoyuanzai BBQ" grilled eggplant 🍆 (¥18) juicy explosion! Pair with chilled Nanchang Badu beer 🍺, heavenly combo. 🍧 Dessert savior: Next to the post office "Lushan Story" for a bowl of Cloud Mist Tea Ice Jelly 🍧 (¥12), sprinkled with osmanthus flowers, killer taste. 📸【Photography Tips: These spots will make you a legend】 1. Meilu Villa terrace 🌹: At 4 PM, slanting light through the parasol trees, shoot cheongsam back view + mottled wall shadows, you’re the heroine of a Republican-era drama. 2. End of Lulin Lake pier: Crouch down! Place your phone close to the water surface, yellow leaves and blue sky fully reflected, Van Gogh would call it professional. 3. Abandoned old villa window frame 🖼️ (sneak in through broken door on Zhongsi Road): Use the window frame as a picture frame, framing the distant red roof, the ruin’s artistic vibe instantly beats internet-famous spots. ⚠️【Pitfall Prevention Guide】 ❌ Don’t buy raincoats on the mountain, as thin as cling film and ¥20, supermarket downstairs sells thick ones for ¥5 that smell great. ❌ Don’t hire sedan chair carriers, Sandiequan carriers ask for ¥300/person, halfway up they raise the price to ¥500. ⭕ Must bring a thin down jacket, in July Guling Town is 10°C in the morning and evening, short sleeves will give you a runny nose. ⭕ Buy a trekking pole for ¥20, you’ll treat it like your father on the way down. If you encounter heavy fog 🌫️—congratulations, you’ve unlocked the immortal hero experience card. 1. Rush to "Moonlit Pine Forest," fog clings to pine branches like giant cotton candy 🍬; 2. Touch "Nuonata Courtyard," red walls and bell sounds drift in the fog, shooting back views feels like entering a fairyland; 3. Hide in "Cloud Coffee Shop" ☕, order a "Unfamiliar with Lushan" tea (¥38), hold the cup by the window watching fog swallow the buildings. 🚠 When taking the cable car down, your legs will tremble like Parkinson’s. Looking back—the red roofs of Guling Town float in the sea of clouds, tiny ant-like figures still wriggling on the mountain path... suddenly you understand Li Bai’s feelings back then.
