Recommend arriving before 8am to capture the misty lake surface + reflections. Wearing a light-colored long dress for silhouette photos is perfect~ Flower Path Where Bai Juyi wrote "April's blossoms have faded elsewhere in the world." Spring cherry blossoms are magical. Jinxiu Valley A 1.5-hour hiking route. The cliff walkway in Jinxiu Valley is a must! Don't miss the "Sky Bridge" spectacle and steep peaks (where Chairman Mao left inscriptions). Immortal's Cave A Taoist sacred site where legend says Lu Dongbin became immortal. Very popular for burning incense. Meilu Villa A villa where both Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong once stayed. Republican-era architecture is great for photos! Check out Song Meiling's favorite spot on the second-floor master bedroom balcony. Closes at 5pm. Lushan Conference Site A landmark that witnessed a key turning point in contemporary Chinese history! Experience the weight of history firsthand. Guling Town Stay overnight in Guling Town. The sunset is like a fairy tale. Watch the movie "Romance on Lushan Mountain" (40 yuan/person) to feel the romance of the 1980s! Hanpokou Sunrise Check the weather in advance! Shared car 30 yuan/person, depart at 5am. The sea of clouds + panoramic view of Poyang Lake is worth the early rise! Bring a thick jacket and head directly to Five Old Peaks after sunrise. Five Old Peaks The first to third peaks are relatively easy, the fourth peak has the best view (the famous cliff rock is here). If you have limited energy, climb only to the second peak and return. Three-Tiered Waterfall "You're not a true Lushan visitor until you've seen Three-Tiered Waterfall," but the 2,600 steps will make you question your life choices! The waterfall view makes it all worthwhile though. For the lazy: take the small train to the first tier (80 yuan/person round trip) then walk 1 hour. Full hiking takes 3 hours.

Tips - The small train to Three-Tiered Waterfall only goes halfway up, you still need to walk 1 hour - Bring non-slip shoes! Temperature varies greatly on the mountain; even in July, bring a jacket - Click save for future reference, questions in the comments will be answered promptly~
