Travelogue of Mount Lu in Jiangxi
1. Weather❄️: Seeing snow requires luck, so you can follow the blogger's stakeout, or choose a hotel with free cancellation.
2. Hotels🏠: It is recommended to stay near Guling Street, where facilities are more complete, close to the central park, and convenient for sightseeing.
3. Transportation🚌: After arriving at Lushan Station or Jiujiang Station by high-speed train, you can take the cable car (120r round trip, about 10 minutes) or a bus (10r, about 1 hour) to go up the mountain. Taxis to Guling Street are also available (about 50r per car). There are sightseeing buses on the mountain (70r, valid for one week), but some attractions are closed in snowy weather, so purchase tickets accordingly.
4. Dining🍚: Most restaurants on Guling Street are both expensive and not tasty, so it is advised to order meals at least 1 hour in advance. You can also bring instant food to the mountain.
5. Sightseeing🏃: The scenery of Qin Lake is beautiful when it snows and there is fog; on clear days in Central Park, you can see the entire town; the trails around Lulin Lake are photogenic and less crowded.
6. Experience🤩: The snow on Mount Lu depends on the weather, and we were very lucky on the 21st when we went up the mountain, as we saw rime, a heavy snowstorm, and the clear skies after the snow.
The above information is for reference only, wishing everyone a smooth snow-chasing journey!✨

Guling Street Historical and Cultural District of Lushan
Guling Town is located on the top of Mount Lu and has a history of over 100 years. It is said that the town was named by a British missionary because the shape of the ridge resembles a bull, and it has become a holy place for summer retreats. The town is well-equipped with all the necessary facilities. Due to the booming tourism industry, Guling Street is bustling all year round with crowds of tourists and heavy traffic. There are numerous shops, hotels, schools, hospitals, and some buses even go to nearby attractions. The streets in the scenic area are narrow, and self-driving up the mountain is generally not allowed. Visitors can park their cars at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain and take a shuttle bus to the top, which is more convenient for staying overnight. The entrance fee for the Lushan Scenic Area is 160 yuan, with free or discounted admission for special populations. Sometimes there are free admission promotions in March. The sightseeing bus costs 70 yuan per person, and the Lushan Scenic Area is vast with many attractions. The tickets for the entrance and the sightseeing bus are valid for 7 days.

Explore the snow wonder of Jiangxi! - Lushan
Want to enjoy the vast snow scene without having to go far north? The winter beauty of Lushan is waiting for you to check in! 💖
This year I have prepared a practical Lushan skiing guide for everyone, which will definitely make your trip worthwhile! 🎉🎉🎉
🚗Traffic guide:
First take the high-speed train or train to Jiujiang Station (note: not Lushan Station, don't be misled by the name! Lushan Station is actually farther). After leaving the station, you can choose to take a taxi directly to 🚡Lushan Cableway Station, or choose to take a bus. We chose to ask local residents after leaving the station, and then took the No. 57 bus directly to the Lushan Cableway parking lot. The bus journey takes about 30 minutes, and the ticket is only 2 yuan. You can use Alipay to swipe the Jiujiang electronic bus card. When you go down the mountain, take the No. 57 bus directly back to Lushan Railway Station at the bus stop.
👏Play experience:
I went a few days ago, and it was snowing heavily at that time. Because Lushan is near, I set off immediately after seeing the weather forecast that there would be heavy snow in the next two days. The Lushan after the snow is incredibly beautiful, and there are good places for taking pictures 📷 everywhere.
🎒Dressing suggestions:
I personally tested that wearing white is the best for taking pictures in the snow! 🧢Hats, �� gloves, 🕶️ sunglasses, 👘 scarves are all essential items, because the wind on the mountain is strong, you also need to wear non-slip shoes (I accidentally slipped!). If you drive up the mountain, don't forget to install anti-skid chains on your tires.
💰Cost overview:
When I went to Lushan when I was studying, there was a free tour activity for Jiangxi students, so the ticket was free at that time🎫. Student ID can enjoy half-price cable car tickets for 60 yuan (round trip), and you can find various restaurants on the mountain to eat, including hot pot, KFC, stir-fry, etc., and there are also many small supermarkets.
Are you ready? Let's embark on the snow journey of Lushan together! ❄️🌟

I have prepared a guide for everyone to go to Lushan during the National Day
I have prepared a guide for everyone to go to Lushan during the National Day.
"I don't know the true face of Lushan, just because I'm in this mountain"
"The sun shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of the river from a distance"
Transportation:
The cable car is 120/person round trip during the peak season, and it takes only a few minutes to get directly to Guling Town, running until 8:30 in the evening.
The bus, there are up and down the mountain at both the south and north gates, 20/person.
Private cars will be restricted during the peak season, private cars can't go up, they need to be parked in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, and then take a ride up, the parking fee is not expensive (capped at 25) but our car was punctured there
Lushan ticket price: 160/person (student ticket 80/person)
Scenic area sightseeing car 70/person (the distance between the attractions is quite far, you need to buy it)
If you go to Shimenjian, you have to pay another 99
Accommodation: It is more convenient to live in the town for travel and dining. We chose to live near Xiaotianchi. I think it is inconvenient~ The accommodation environment on the mountain is average, with moldy smell. That is to say, everyone's expectations for accommodation on the mountain should be lowered~

The classical oriental winter wonderland
🌨️ Lushan, a famous mountain located in Jiangxi, is often compared to the snow mountains in Switzerland. This winter, I was fortunate enough to set foot on this underrated tourist spot and experience a real world of ice and snow.
🚗 Transportation: It takes about an hour to drive from the city center of Jiujiang to Lushan Scenic Area. The picturesque scenery along the way makes people feel happy. However, the mountain road is winding, and friends with poor driving skills are advised to choose public transportation or charter services.
🏠 Accommodation: There are many different styles of hotels and homestays in Guling Town, ranging from economical to luxurious. I chose a homestay located on the mountainside. When I opened the window, I could see the misty mountain view, and at night I could hear the sound of the mountain stream, which was very comfortable.
🍲 Catering: The food here is also not to be missed. Lushan's special dishes such as Lushan Stone Chicken, Lushan Cloud Tea, etc., are all delicious not to be missed. However, due to its location in the mountains, the choice of ingredients is relatively limited, and the taste may not be as rich as the city.
📸 Attractions: There are many attractions in Lushan, and each season has different beauties. In winter, the snow scene of Lushan is particularly spectacular. The snow cedars of Wulaofeng, the ice waterfalls of Sandiequan, and the snow plums of Huajing, each place makes people linger. However, Lushan in winter is also relatively cold, remember to bring enough warm clothes.
🌟 Advantages: The natural scenery of Lushan is unparalleled, especially on the day after the snow, the sun shines on the snowy peaks, that kind of pure beauty makes people intoxicated. In addition, Lushan has a strong cultural atmosphere, historical relics can be seen everywhere, allowing people to feel the accumulation of history while appreciating the beautiful scenery.
💡 Disadvantages: Due to the remote geographical location of Lushan, transportation and infrastructure are slightly insufficient compared to big cities. In addition, Lushan in winter may encounter the situation of mountain closure, it is best to check the weather and road conditions in advance before traveling.
📝 Conclusion: Lushan, this underrated tourist city, has its unique charm. Although it may not be as convenient as other popular tourist destinations, it is this kind of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle that makes people cherish each trip more. If you also yearn for such a winter wonderland, why not come to Lushan and experience a different ice and snow journey.
