Waterfalls
Address:
Xiufeng Scenic Spot in Lushan City
Opening times:
Open year round, 24/7Open
When visiting Lushan, one must explore the 'flying stream straight down three thousand feet' as described by the poet Li Bai
⛰ Ticket Tip: Purchase the Xiufeng Scenic Area tickets in advance on the mobile App🎫, to avoid the queue and enter directly by scanning the code! The cable car🚡 requires a separate ticket, remember to handle it on-site.
⛰ Tour Suggestion: After entering the scenic area, we follow the winding mountain road to the cable car station. This time we chose a one-way ticket up the mountain🎟, here's a suggestion for friends confident in their physical strength—buy a one-way ticket, hike down the mountain, the scenery along the way is breathtaking, and every step is worth savoring.
⛰ Cable Car Experience: While riding the cable car, one can gaze at the spectacular view of the Xiufeng Waterfall from afar. Upon reaching the mountaintop, you can also visit the source of the waterfall. Although there are steep mountain roads on the way down, the journey is downhill and relatively easy. Standing at the foot of the waterfall, looking up at the 'waterfall that seems like the Milky Way falling from the sky', one can feel the soul-stirring power.
⛰ Natural Scenery: The natural scenery along the way is intoxicating, with stops to take photos, it's refreshing and uplifting. When visiting Lushan, the Xiufeng Scenic Area is definitely a spot you can't afford to miss!

Lushan Waterfall, an absolutely breathtaking place you can't miss!
📍First, do you know how to get there? Lushan is located in Jiujiang City. Although there is a bit of a distance between Jiujiang Station and Lushan Station, trust me, it's all for a journey that's worth it!
🌆Jiujiang, a city built along the river, hides three riverside attractions: Pipa Pavilion, Suojiang Tower, and Xunyang Tower. They are super close to each other, just one or two kilometers apart, and you can feel the charm of the head of the Xunyang River described by Bai Juyi. Walking through these places is like having a conversation with history, feeling the magic and flow of a thousand years.
🏞Next, let's talk about the foot of Lushan. Here, not only are there famous sites like Bailudong Academy, Xiufeng Waterfall, and Donglin Temple, but also the spectacular scene described by Li Bai as 'the waterfalls fly straight down three thousand feet'! It only costs 120r to take a taxi from Suojiang Tower to Xiufeng Waterfall, and the same price from Xiufeng Waterfall to Lushan Station. In March, Lushan attractions are free of admission, and the cable car offers half-price student tickets, which is an amazing benefit!
🌧To see the waterfall, you must choose a rainy day. Although it's a bit of a gamble, trust me, it's definitely an adventure worth taking! The Lushan cable car may be old, but the feeling of the wind leaking through just adds a bit of fun to the adventure. Two people sitting side by side, ascending through the misty clouds, with an excellent view, as if you are in an ink painting. Even if the water flow of Xiufeng Waterfall is not as strong as other waterfalls, in the misty rain, it is the most eye-catching presence in the entire journey. You can also get off in the middle of the cable car ride to enjoy the view, take a photo with Li Bai, and look out at the waterfall, which is simply awesome!
🚖Finally, take a taxi to Lushan Station, and on the way, you can pass by the Donglin Great Buddha, with the cloudy sky behind the Buddha so spectacular it takes your breath away. However, be aware that Lushan Station stops checking tickets five minutes in advance!
💥So, don't hesitate any longer, come to Lushan and experience this beautiful journey!💥

We didn't climb far, probably less than half the distance, so we could only admire the waterfall from afar, which fits the saying 'Viewing the waterfall from a distance, as it hangs before the stream'
Jiujiang has been raining frequently recently. If you plan to visit, remember to check the weather beforehand. If you plan to hike, be sure to wear a pair of anti-slip shoes for a comfortable walk, pay attention to safety, and also remember to be a civilized tourist oh
