It covers key information such as scenic spot costs, transportation options, travel itineraries, clothing and equipment, etc. Location of Lushan Lushan Scenic Area in Jiangxi Province, self-driving cars cannot go up the mountain, they can only be parked in the parking lot or Guling Town.

Isn’t it true that when winter comes, we southerners feel itchy and always want to see snow? Today I will tell you about some great places to enjoy snow around Guangdong👏. Nanyue Hengshan ⛰️ It is quite convenient to go to Hengshan from Guangdong. If you choose to take the high-speed rail, it only takes two and a half hours to drive from Guangzhou South to Hengshan West Station. If you start from Shenzhen North, it will take about two hours. Get off at Hengshan West Station, then transfer to a bus, and you can reach the foot of Hengshan Mountain in about 15 minutes. For those who drive by themselves, it takes about five hours. The best time to enjoy the snow in Hengshan is from the end of December to February of the following year. There are not many accommodation places in the scenic area, mainly distributed at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain. If it snows, the sightseeing bus may be out of service, so we can only walk up on our own two legs. If you are not very physically strong, you can split the trip into two days. I think staying halfway up the mountain is a good choice. It’s about 5 kilometers of hiking from the halfway up the mountain to the top of the mountain. It usually takes about two and a half hours to walk. Not too tiring. Hengshan is quite cost-effective among the rime-viewing places around Guangdong, but there are relatively few places to stay, and it may take some effort to go up the mountain. Mangshan Wuzhi Peak Scenic Area ⛰️ If you take the high-speed rail, it only takes one and a half hours from Guangzhou South to Chenzhou Station, and two hours from Shenzhen North to Chenzhou Station. After leaving Chenzhou Station, it takes about an hour and a half to take a taxi to Mangshan, and it takes about four hours to drive there. The viewing period of Mangshan is also from the end of December to February. The accommodation there is mainly concentrated near Ximen. There are hot spring hotels, but the prices are a bit high. The advantage of Mangshan is that you can not only enjoy the snow scenery, but also enjoy the hot springs comfortably. The key is that you don’t have to climb the mountain. It is perfect for those of us who want to enjoy the snow easily. Jiangxi Lushan ⛰️ If you go from Guangzhou South to Lushan Station, you need to change trains, which takes about five hours in total; if you take the train from Guangzhou Station to Jiujiang Station, it will take 13 hours. The best time to enjoy the snow in Lushan Mountain is from the end of December to February. There are many B&Bs and hotels on the mountain, but in the peak snow season, the price is generally between 500 and 1,000 yuan. The snow scene in Lushan Mountain is quite unique. The snow is thick and not inferior to the snow scene in the north. You can have fun building a snowman there. Let me summarize it for you: Hengshan: Among the rime viewing options around Guangdong, the cost is relatively reasonable, but there are few accommodation places, and you may have to hike up the mountain when it snows. Mangshan: You can enjoy the snow and soak in hot springs without having to climb the mountain. There are many accommodation options in Ximen, among which hot spring hotels are more expensive. Lushan Mountain: The snow scenery is quite unique, the snow is abundant, and there are various accommodations on the mountain. The price increases to a certain extent in the peak season. You can choose the snow viewing destination you want to go to based on your actual situation, such as budget, physical strength, etc.

In late November, Mount Lu. Wearing a pair of Adidas running shoes, stepping on a winding dry dirt road, facing the warm sun in the late autumn afternoon, walking towards the tall, fiery red cedar forest by the lakeside of Mount Lu, which is like a piano. This is the best place for me to shoot red leaves every time. The fresh air here, the fragrance of trees, and the spread of green grass make me feel the reality, cleanliness, and relaxation of nature. This is the best place for me to shoot red leaves every time. The fresh air here, the fragrance of trees, and the spread of green grass make me feel the reality, cleanliness, and relaxation of nature. People who have lived in the city for a long time especially yearn for and cherish the outdoors, jungles, fields, and mountains. It's so quiet here that you can only hear the slight wind, passing over the treetops, staying in the depths of the forest. Most of the people who come to Mount Lu for autumn tours are older aunts. It seems that only they have enough time to contact nature. I saw that there were also some young girls, most of them were internet celebrities with free professions, who came here for travel notes and travel photography. For them, coming here is not for fun, but more for work. Sometimes I think such work is pretty good.

Lushan in Jiangxi has its own characteristics in all four seasons, and the snow scene in winter is even more beautiful. Flower Path Park As soon as the snow season arrives, all kinds of ice flowers bloom on the branches in the park, as if sighing at the whims of nature, it is a unique feature of Lushan. Walking through the path, you will face the Flower Path Pavilion, the top is covered with frost, and the red pillars are particularly eye-catching among the snow white. Looking around, the snow season flower path is even more spectacular~ Jinxiu Valley Under the carving of the Quaternary glacier, nature created the magnificent valley of Jinxiu Valley with a flat bottom and steep walls. When winter comes, there is a vast expanse of white in front of you, and the steep cliffs are also dressed in silver. Following the winding steps up to the top of the mountain, overlooking the pure white forest shrouded in clouds and mist, it is so beautiful that it is breathtaking. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the white snow world in the mist, it seems to be in a fairyland~ Guling Street The snowy Guling Street is really beautiful, just like breaking into a fairy tale world! Standing on the viewing platform and looking down, the Nordic-style red and green houses are scattered in the silver-white world, adding a touch of vitality to this pure snow field. Imagine walking hand in hand with your lover on Guling Street after the snow, with snowflakes falling, as if spending a romantic moment of growing old together! Little Heavenly Pool This is a great spot for snow viewing in Lushan. It is suitable for making snowmen and snowball fights, and you can take a big shot at will. Climbing to the small pavilion at the top of the mountain along the stairs, you can enjoy more of the magnificence of Lushan. Overlooking the surroundings, the rime of jade trees and beautiful flowers embellishes the top of the mountain, and the beautiful scenery along the way also tells its unique charm. Hanpokou At an altitude of 1286 meters, it is ranked among the nine major sun-viewing spots in the country. But on snowy days, there are fewer tourists here, which is a good thing for those who come to enjoy the snow. In the early morning, the rising sun penetrates the clouds and shines on the rime, like a gorgeous painting unfolding in front of you. If you are lucky, you can also witness the spectacular scene of the sea of clouds! TIPS: The weather forecast within three days is generally accurate, and those who want to come to Lushan to enjoy the snow should pay attention to the weather changes in advance. It is not recommended to drive to Lushan in snowy weather, be sure to pay attention to safety. Keep warm and remember to prepare a pair of shoes with good waterproof performance. The snow scene in Lushan is really super beautiful! This winter must come to this southern snow town to step on the snow

Three days and two nights, 700 yuan per person, Lushan guide! I commented on a post by chance and found that everyone was asking for a guide. So here is this note which is not really a guide. Let me first say the conclusion. I did spend 700 for three days and two nights. ① Travel preparation and hotel 🏨 Before leaving, I kept checking the weather forecast and learned that it was likely to snow on January 15th, so I set off with my three friends. The hotel was booked in advance and it was not expensive at that time. The twin room we booked could sleep four people. 🛏 321 per night, so the four of us split the cost to 80 per night. We booked two nights, so each person only spent 160. The hotel was not bad. There is heating and plenty of hot water. There is also a buffet breakfast and a buffet lunch. We had a buffet breakfast there once. I remember that the hotel will give you meal coupons when you check in, so breakfast is free and tastes good. You don’t have to go out to find food on snowy days. There is also a hotel car to take you to the cable car. We stayed at Huajingtang Hotel. I saw many people saying that it is not available in December. In fact, it is really unnecessary to book a hotel so early. You can book half a month in advance. That way, the weather forecast will be more accurate. Lushan does not snow every day. The key point! If you want to go to play in the snow, you must check the weather forecast! Pay attention to the weather forecast in Guling Town. Another point is not to wait until the day of snow. It is best to go up the mountain today if you know it will snow tomorrow, because once it snows, there will be more people who want to go up the mountain, especially those who line up for the cable car, and it takes a long time. Moreover, if you go out to play in the snow after it has just snowed, the snow is clean. If you come late, you can only see the snow that has been stepped on by others. We didn’t step on much at that time. We were very lucky. We went up the mountain the day before and woke up the next morning to see a vast expanse of white. It was really a blessing to see the snow scenery when we woke up in the morning. ②Travel method: I started from my home. My home is in Jiangxi, very close to Jiujiang. I took the high-speed rail directly to Jiujiang Station. There is a shuttle bus at the door of Jiujiang Station. I took that bus directly to the cable car station where I could take the cable car. The cable car ticket can be bought online in advance, and it includes round trip, so it is very convenient. After taking the cable car to the mountain, you can call the hotel to pick you up. ③Play and precautions: Note⚠️Private cars are prohibited from going up the mountain in Lushan on snowy days, so you should not drive by yourself because the road is very slippery on snowy days. But in the small town, everything is available and you can take a taxi with local drivers Let's talk about food. The town is very convenient. There are all kinds of food. There are also schools and police stations, so you don't have to worry about not being able to buy food. We ate at Wanglu and Luren Village, and they were both pretty good. As for the sightseeing bus, my friend and I didn't buy it. The four of us took a taxi to the scenic spots. Of course, we didn't go to many scenic spots ourselves, so whether to buy a sightseeing bus depends on each person. We think the roads are slippery on snowy days, so it's still cheaper for the four of us to take a taxi than the 70 yuan per person sightseeing bus. If there are sisters who have a full schedule, you can buy it. ④ Must-buy list 🧾 It's very cold when it snows on the mountain. You must buy gloves and hats! These two are very important, otherwise your hands will be really frozen. When it snows on the mountain, it's about minus 16 degrees Celsius. Remember to wear something thick! You must also buy a pair of spiked shoes. This is very useful. It costs 10 yuan a pair. Put it directly on the shoes. It's really slippery on snowy days. If you don't buy this, you'll easily fall.

#Overseas Travel Lushan Mountain, located in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, is one of the ten famous mountains in China. Much of what we know about Mount Lushan comes from ancient poetry. The natural landscapes of Lushan, including Sandiequan, Lulin Lake and Wulao Peak, are beautiful, but what really makes Lushan famous are its series of cultural landscapes, including the Lushan Conference Site, Meilu, and the Lushan Villa Complex. It is recommended to spend two to three days to visit Mount Lushan. You can stay in the villa complex (B&B) at the foot of the mountain, which has good service and environment. If you are lucky, you can see the scene of Mount Lushan surrounded by clouds in the morning, which is wonderful. #Travel in the Mainland

At noon, as we ascended the mountain from the sweltering urban area of Jiujiang, the thermometer outside the car window dropped from 38°C to 23°C in just 20 minutes. The moment the window rolled down, a cool breeze carrying the scent of pine greeted us, and suddenly, Bai Juyi's poetic lines echoed in my ears: "While flowers in the mortal world wither in April, peach blossoms at the mountain temple just begin to bloom." It turns out the poet from a thousand years ago had already captured Lushan's secluded coolness. 🌿 Three Poetic Experiences 1. **Exploring Celebrity Villas**: On moss-covered stone steps, we serendipitously met Professor Li, an expert on Lushan's architecture. Gently touching the bricks of the "Meilu Villa," he said, "These stones hold half of modern Chinese history." Following him, we found Soong Mei-ling's favorite viewing platform. Through the same telescope from back then, Poyang Lake below remained vast and misty. (📸 Must-photo: The ivy-covered wall in front of the Christian church.) 2. **Cloud-Mist Tea Gathering**: Auntie Zhang, a tea farmer at the foot of Five Old Peaks, brewed this year's freshly picked cloud-mist tea with mountain spring water. "We pick tea leaves by watching the clouds," she said, pointing to the valley. "When the mist reaches halfway up the mountain, the leaves are at their tenderest." The refreshing taste of the tea suddenly made me understand why Li Bai wrote, "Let the white deer roam freely among the green cliffs." 3. **Stargazing at Night**: Staying at the 1934-built "Yuntian Villa," the owner brought out a telescope from the Republic of China era: "This was used by missionaries to observe the stars." On the terrace at midnight, the Milky Way was so clear that we could see swirling nebulae, accompanied by the distant sound of wind through pine trees—as if conversing with the starry sky of history. 🗺️ **Cool Retreat Guide** - **Transport**: Take a direct shuttle from Jiujiang Station to Guling Town (1 hour); sightseeing bus tickets are recommended. - **Accommodation**: "Songmen Villa" or "Yuntian Hotel," renovated historic buildings with ample fans. - **Must-Try**: Fried stone fish with eggs, cloud-mist tea cakes, and the "Three Stone Feast" (stone frog, stone fish, and stone ear). - **Hidden Perk**: Free screenings of the movie *Romance on Lushan Mountain* every Wednesday morning. 🌟 **Summer Escape Tips** 1. The morning mist in Jinxiu Valley often creates a fairy-tale scene. 2. Hanpokou is coolest two hours after sunrise. 3. Lulin Lake offers a "natural air conditioning" experience in the evening. 4. Villa museums blast air conditioning during the hottest afternoon hours. While flipping through the yellowed pages of *The Chronicles of Lushan* in the library, the librarian pointed outside: "Look at those clouds—they’re identical to the 1936 photo in this book." Suddenly, I realized that Lushan’s true treasure lies not just in its natural coolness but in this timeless cultural resonance. Before leaving, I bought a packet of cloud-mist tea seeds, hoping to plant this sense of "only because I am in this mountain" serenity in my memory.

When my boyfriend and I decided to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, we chose a less crowded destination—Lushan. Here, not only is there serene mountain scenery, but also a British-style villa full of stories waiting to be explored. The name "Lushan Xindi·Misty Realm 1920 Villa" sounds like a poem, evoking imagery before even seeing the place.🌟 🌿 A British Villa That Transcends Time 🏠 Upon arriving at Lushan Xindi·Misty Realm 1920 Villa, we were immediately captivated by its unique British-style red roof and stone walls.

At night, the moon quietly climbed above the treetops, casting silver light across the courtyard, with the faint scent of wood lingering in the air—utterly refreshing. Here, every breath feels like a luxury.🍃 🎨 A Fusion of East and West, Blending Past and Present 💡 The villa’s interior cleverly combines contemporary Chinese design, preserving the classical charm of British style while offering modern comfort and convenience.

❤Recommended Reasons: Mount Lu Scenic Area — Located in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, it is a famous mountain renowned for its natural and cultural landscapes. Known for its grandeur, uniqueness, steepness, and beauty, Mount Lu is praised as "the most spectacular mountain under heaven" and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Global Geopark. ❣️ 🌟Highlights: The scenic area offers mountain buses and cable cars 🚠. Since we were traveling with children and elderly family members and weren’t in a hurry, we chose to take the bus uphill. However, to catch our train, we took the cable car downhill, which took only 7 minutes to reach the foot of the mountain—each cabin can hold up to 30 passengers! 🏨Hotel Recommendation: This time, we stayed at Mount Lu Zhihong Hotel (Meilu Branch, Guling Street, Mount Lu Scenic Area). The hotel is adjacent to the Mount Lu Love Cinema, about a 5-minute walk from the sightseeing bus transfer point at the Transport Management Office. It’s also 280 meters from Meilu Villa and 300 meters from Guling Main Street—a lively area! The hotel is clean, affordable, and offers great value for money! 👍Top Recommendations: 🌈At the foot of the mountain: White Deer Grotto Academy, Xiufeng Scenic Area. 🌈Leisurely mountain tour: Immortal Cave, Flower Path at Riqin Lake, Heavenly Bridge, etc. If you have the stamina, don’t miss the Three-Step Waterfall, though it’s not recommended for families with elderly or young children! 🎫Ticket Info: The Mount Lu ticket includes access to all scenic spots on the mountain, the famous White Deer Grotto Academy at the foot, and the Xiufeng Scenic Area where you can see the waterfall! 💗Additional Tips: If traveling with children for a 4-day light trip, consider staying one night at the foot of the mountain first to visit White Deer Grotto Academy and Xiufeng Scenic Area, then spend two nights on the mountain!
