Winter expedition to Lushan: Conquered!!!

We took a bus from the CBD to the base of the mountain. There are buses specially available for tourist going to climb Mount Lu & they’ll charge you according to where you’ll start your climbing from as well as if you’ll need transportation back. We started from the base & climbed all the way to the top, we however took a cable car on our way down, and took a taxi when moving from one scenic spot to the other. There are many attractions that one may see. We went in winter, on a cold & snowy day so we were fortunate enough to experience & see the beautiful views from a high up altitude. There are lot of temples & historical sites around. There are a variety of nice hotels to choose from & these vary with your budget. There are lots of restaurants serving different kinds of food. Be sure to try out a famous soup called WaGuanTang - 瓦罐汤, it really helped setting the mood before our hiking experience at Mt Lu. Just before you get on the cable car, there are many stores outside selling souvenirs and different kinds of herbal tea. Overall it was an amazing experience & I’ld do it again in Summer to find out how it’s like in a different season. See you there next time. #china #jiujiang #lushan #gthatguy1 #winterhiking
