Interesting Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) ancient rural village built on a hillside, and beginning in 2009, transformed into a resort area to draw sightseers. Visit the wondrous mountainside terraced rapeseed field farms.

A place of striking beauty, Mount Lushan combines spectacular peaks, lakes, cliffs, waterfalls with important Buddhist and Taoist temples.
Let me share with you my experience in visiting Lushan. Day 0 is primarily for transportation to Lushan. Transportation: First, head to Jiujiang Long Distance Bus Station. There are many buses going to Lushan, bus fare 16.50 rmb, about 1.5 hours ride. Bus will first make a stop at Tourist Service and Transfer Centre for visitors to purchase the Lushan entrance ticket 180 rmb. The bus will end at a big square in Guling Town (牯岭镇). This is also the interchange to take the sightseeing bus for the eastern and western routes. Accommodation: Travelers will most likely stay in Guling Town, which is actually at the top of Lushan. There are many hotels, restaurants, mini-marts in Guling Town. As for me. I stayed in Lushan Tianjie Villa (廬山天街別墅). Please see separate review of hotel. Exploring Lushan: It is highly recommended to purchase the sightseeing bus card, 70 rmb to visit the various places of interest in Lushan. There are 2 bus routes - eastern and western routes. See one of my photos for the bus routes. The main interchange connecting these 2 routes is at the big square as mentioned above. The bus card is valid for 7 days, unlimited rides. To take the bus, a female staff will scan your card and fingerprint and she will call for a bus to come. Inform the driver where you are going, else he may skip the stop if no one is alighting. My 2 days itinerary is as follows: Day 1 - Eastern route. Places of interest are Five Old Men Peak (五老峰) -> Sandiequan, 3-Tiered Waterfall (三叠泉) -> Hanpo Pass (含鄱口) -> Lushan Museum (庐山博物馆) -> Lushan Conference Site (周恩来纪念馆) -> Meilu Villa (美庐别墅) Day 2 - Western route. Places of interest are Huajing, Flower Path (花径) -> Ruqin Lake (如琴湖) -> Jinxiu Valley (锦绣谷) -> Heavenly Bridge (天桥) -> Immortal Cave (仙人洞) -> Big Heavenly Pool (大天池) -> Suspension Bridge (悬索桥) -> Black Dragon Pool (乌龙潭) -> Yellow Dragon Pool (黄龙潭) -> Lulin Lake (芦林湖). Please see my separate reviews for each of the above places of interest. I spent the entire day to cover the eastern route while only half a day to cover the western route. Hence, I took the long distance bus back to Jiujiang in day 2 afternoon. If you have only 1 full day in Lushan, I recommend you to visit the major attractions, i.e. Five Old Men Peak, Sandiequan, Huajing & Jinxiu Valley.
