In March 2025, Mount Lushan will be open to all tourists from home and abroad for free

A great poet of the Tang Dynasty, he wrote two famous poems about the waterfall at Mount Lu, one is a five-character ancient poem and the other is a seven-character quatrain. The second is a familiar poem, the full text of which is "The sun shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke, and from afar the waterfall looks like a long river hanging in front of the mountain. The waterfall drops three thousand feet straight down, as if the Milky Way falls from the sky." It means that the sun shines on the Xianglu Peak and produces purple smoke, and from afar the waterfall looks like a long river hanging in front of the mountain. It was as if a stream of water was rushing down three thousand feet high. Could it be that the Milky Way was falling from the sky between the cliffs? From Li Bai's "Waterfall Poem", we know about Lushan Waterfall and are even more yearning for Lushan! Here comes the opportunity. Uncle Cricket learned that in March 2025, Lushan will be free for all tourists at home and abroad. The free ticket period is from March 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025. The scope of the activity includes free admission to Lushan Scenic Area, Sandiequan, Bailudong Academy, Guanyin Bridge, Xiufeng, Bilongtan, Taohuayuan, Lianhuadong Forest Park, and Maweishui (excluding secondary consumption items in the scenic area such as sightseeing buses and cableways). In other words, when friends come to Lushan, they can conquer it more easily! Mount Lu, also known as Kuangshan and Kuanglu, is famous for its grandeur, strangeness, danger and beauty. It is known as the "holy mountain of humanity" and is known as "the most beautiful Kuanglu in the world". There are 171 peaks named since ancient times, among which there are 26 hills and ridges, 20 valleys, 16 caves and 22 strange rocks. In 2003, Lushan Mountain became one of the top ten famous mountains in China; on February 13, 2004, it was selected as the first batch of World Geoparks; on March 7, 2007, it was rated as a national 5A tourist attraction. For those who are visiting Lushan for the first time, Uncle Cricket recommends a three-day tour; First day, west line, Flower Path➡️Jinxiu Valley➡️Xianfeng➡️Xianren Cave➡️Longshou Cliff➡️Datianchi➡️Power Station Dam➡️Xiaotianchi. The next day, east line, Dakou Waterfall ➡️ Sandiequan ➡️ Hanpokou ➡️ Botanical Garden ➡️ Wulao Peak. Day 3, middle line, Meilu Villa ➡️Lushan Conference Site ➡️Stone Carving Museum. During these three days, the most amazing places are: Xiaotianchi and Nona Pagoda, which are great places to watch the sunset. Go up there in advance and wait. You must go here as the last stop on the west line. You can see the complete sunset, which is very romantic! Hanpokou is an excellent place to watch the sunrise, and all major homestays have corresponding sunrise viewing services. San Diequan, as the Chinese saying goes, "If you haven't been to San Diequan, you are not a Lushan tourist." It is also a must-see attraction in the entire Lushan Scenic Area. There are 2,600 steps to and from San Diequan. It is easy to go down San Diequan, but it is more difficult to get back. It is recommended to take the San Diequan cable car directly to the entrance. The round-trip cable car costs 80 yuan. Those with good physical strength can walk to the entrance. It takes about 2 hours to climb down Wulao Peak, and you can overlook the entire Lushan Mountain. If you have more time, you can add Bailudong Academy, Guanyin Bridge, Xiufeng, Bilongtan, Taohuayuan, Lianhuadong Forest Park, Maweishui and other scenic spots to your itinerary to experience the culture and extraordinary heritage of Lushan! However, there are some precautions that you can learn about before visiting Lushan Mountain; 1. Don't climb at night when you first come. The temperature in Lushan Mountain is very low, and it often rains or has fog and snow. There are also wild boars. Climbing at night is prone to problems, and there are stairs everywhere. 2. Don’t drive up there by yourself. You can’t reach the core scenic spots by driving yourself, so you still have to buy a sightseeing bus. There is only one situation where you must drive up by yourself, that is if you are bringing a large pet and cannot take the sightseeing bus or cable car. 3. It is recommended to hire a tour guide if there are many people. If you are a couple or a single person, you can play however you want. If there are more than 5 people, it is recommended to hire a tour guide, because Lushan is different from other mountains. There is a small town on the top of the mountain with a permanent population of more than 10,000 people. The scenic spots are complex and the east line to the west line is more than 20 kilometers. The purpose of hiring a tour guide is to minimize the risk. For example, if the elderly can no longer walk but the children want to go, they can call a car to take them back to the hotel. Some attractions also require time control to determine which attractions are suitable for which people to visit. 4. Guling Town is the first choice for accommodation. It is very inconvenient to eat if you live too far away. Remember to call the hotel when you bring your luggage. They will basically make arrangements. 5. Prepare some cash. Some places only accept cash, which is very convenient. 6. Prepare a power bank. Because the temperature is low, many mobile phones run out of battery quickly. Plus, the scenery is so charming that you can’t stop taking pictures. With a power bank, you can achieve power freedom! 7. In terms of fees, the ticket is 160 yuan, the round-trip cable car is 120 yuan, the one-way up or down sightseeing bus is 10 yuan, the mountain sightseeing bus is 70 yuan for unlimited times for 7 days, the round-trip Sandiequan train is 80 yuan, and the Xinglong cable car is 30 yuan one-way. Practical information about Lushan: Tickets are 160 yuan [free until March 2025], business hours are 7:00-18:00, located at No. 19, Hexi Road, Guling Town, Lushan City, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province.
