SEE MOUNTAIN LU TALK

A new internet-famous restaurant on the top of Mount Lushan, located on Hemian Street, there are many people queuing up every day, probably because of the herd mentality. The decoration is fresh and simple, and the waiters are all young people. They serve dishes by jogging, and the rhythm is brisk. So the turnover here is fast, and the waiting time is not too long. You can eat popsicles for free while queuing. The dishes taste good, and the quantity is not as large as that of ordinary farmhouses, and it is relatively exquisite.

Good taste, reasonable value, and they didn’t charge us for repeated orders, which was really good!

Wanglu said: The overall blue and white style outside the store is very fresh. The antique atmosphere hits you when you enter the door. The Chinese architectural style is clean and comfortable.

Come and taste it.

Help! Lushan is nothing like the textbook description; it's a real-life fairyland! ☁️ Who understands?! Stepping onto Lushan is like entering Li Bai's poem, "A waterfall plunging three thousand feet"—clouds swirl around green mountains, waterfalls hide in the shade, the red roofs of old villas peek out from the clouds, and even the wind carries the fragrance of grass and trees. It's not the "old-fashioned tourist spot" you might imagine; it's a heavenly destination where you can spend a whole day exploring, eating, playing, and taking photos! 📸 1. Must-Visit Attractions - Locals' Secrets 🏞️ ✨ Three-Tiered Spring Waterfall: Stepping into Li Bai's Poem 🌊 Coming to Lushan without seeing the Three-Tiered Spring is a wasted trip! Walking down the steps, you hear the roar of the waterfall before you even reach it, and then suddenly, around a bend, you see—a three-tiered waterfall cascading down from the mountaintop. The mist feels cool on your face, and on a sunny day, you can even see a rainbow! The most amazing part is "going down to the bottom of the valley to see the waterfall." Standing on the viewing platform, the waterfall rushes right before your eyes, and even the splashing water on your clothes is delightful! 📸Photo Tips: Wear a light-colored long dress and stand on the steps to take a picture of your back, with the waterfall and green mountains as a backdrop. Have a friend take the picture from above; you'll look like you're cultivating immortality amidst the clouds and mist. Or, squat at the bottom of the valley and take pictures of the splashing water—the dynamic effect is amazing! 💡Tips: There are quite a few steps, so wear comfortable sneakers, not high heels! Going down is easy, but going up is difficult. If you get tired, you can take the cable car (but hiking has a better feel!). ✨ Guling Town: A European-style town in the clouds 🏡 The "sky town" on the top of Lushan Mountain is absolutely stunning! Old European-style villas with red tiles and white walls are hidden among the green trees. Cafes and pubs line the streets, making you feel like you're abroad. At dusk, the clouds and mist drift over the streets, the streetlights come on, and the warm yellow light envelops the mist, making you feel like you've stepped into a Miyazaki Hayao animation! A must-visit is the "Story of the Old Villa" scenic area. This century-old villa holds the history of Lushan, and the wooden staircase and retro chandeliers create an incredibly atmospheric backdrop for photos. 📸Photography: Stand at the villa entrance in a French-style dress, holding a cup of Lushan Yunwu tea, with the sunlight slanting across your face – the retro feel is simply divine! At night, take photos of the streetscape under the misty streetlights; every shot is a cinematic masterpiece! ✨ Wulao Peak: Chase a sunrise over a sea of ​​clouds 🌅 The ultimate sunrise viewing spot in Lushan! We got up at 4 am to rush to the summit, and when we arrived at the viewing platform, we saw a sea of ​​clouds sweeping over the mountains, with distant peaks resembling islands floating in the clouds. When the sun finally rose, golden light spilled onto the sea of ​​clouds, illuminating the entire world. Everyone in our group exclaimed "Wow!" The "Fourth Peak" of Wulao Peak offers the best views, allowing you to watch the sunrise and photograph the sea of ​​clouds. In autumn, the red leaves blending with the clouds are breathtakingly beautiful. 📸Photography: Wear a dark coat (slimming) to take sunrise silhouette photos. Stand on the edge of the viewing platform with the sea of ​​clouds and the sun behind you; every frame is wallpaper-worthy. Or sit on a rock for a relaxed "person by the sea of ​​clouds" photo; having your hair tousled by the wind makes for even better shots! ✨ Ruqin Lake: A Forest-Style Secret in the Mist🎻 Ruqin Lake in the morning is like a magic spell! Mist swirls around the willows along the lake, the surface is as calm as a mirror, and occasionally a small bird skims across the water, creating ripples. Walking along the wooden boardwalk by the lake, listening to the birdsong and the wind, you feel like a little forest sprite! The afternoon fog dissipated, the lake turned blue, and people were picnicking on the lawn by the shore, creating photos that looked like something out of a Japanese romantic comedy film. 📸Photography: Wear a white top and squat by the lake to take close-up shots of your hands touching the water; the misty background acts as a natural filter. Or stand on the wooden boardwalk for a full-body shot, with willow trees and the lake as a backdrop, the wind blowing your clothes – perfect for a forest-like feel! 2. Must-Try Foods in Lushan: Local Delicacies🥢 ✨ Lushan Stone Chicken: A Delicacy So Fresh It'll Make Your Eyebrows Drop Don't mistake it for chicken! It's actually a frog species unique to Lushan, with meat so tender it's like tofu. It's mostly prepared by braising or steaming. The braising sauce is rich and flavorful, and the frog meat soaks up the broth perfectly – you could easily eat two bowls of rice with it! I highly recommend "Wanglu Shuo" restaurant. The local chef makes incredibly authentic stone chicken, served piping hot – it looks absolutely delicious in photos! ✨ Lushan Small Potatoes: A Carb-Fueling Delight from the Streets A must-buy from the street stalls in Guling Town! The small potatoes are cooked until soft and tender, coated with chili powder and cumin, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside – you can't stop eating them! A small bowl costs 5 yuan, perfect for snacking while walking around or while sightseeing. 📸Photography: Hold up a paper bowl full of small potatoes and take a picture against the backdrop of an old villa – the blend of rustic charm and retro style is so authentic! ✨ Stir-fried Stone Ear Fungus with Eggs: Lushan's Version of "Mountain Delicacies Stir-fried Eggs" Stone ear fungus is a type of fungus that grows on rocks. Stir-fried with eggs, the aroma of the fungus blends perfectly with the egg, creating an irresistibly delicious flavor! The texture is somewhat like wood ear fungus but more tender. It goes well with porridge or rice. Order it at a local restaurant – you can't go wrong! ✨ Hidden Gem: Lushan Cloud and Mist Tea + Glutinous Rice Cake A local breakfast staple! The cloud and mist tea is fragrant and sweet, refreshing and invigorating; the glutinous rice cake is made with glutinous rice mixed with diced meat and mushrooms, steamed until chewy and savory—one piece can last all morning! You can find it in the old teahouses of Guling Town. Sitting on a bamboo chair, drinking tea and eating cake, watching people come and go on the street—so pleasant! Some useful tips: • Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Jiujiang Station, then transfer to a bus to Lushan (30 minutes). There are sightseeing buses between attractions on the mountain—a must-buy! Otherwise, walking will be exhausting! • Accommodation: Choose accommodation near Guling Town. The attractions and food streets are right outside. I recommend guesthouses converted from old villas; you can see the stars at night and hear birdsong in the morning! • Clothing: Lushan has a large temperature difference! Even in summer, bring a light jacket, as it gets cool in the mornings and evenings on the mountain; wear light/bright colors for photos, they'll match perfectly with the green mountains and misty clouds, avoid dark colors~ • Avoid pitfalls: Don't buy overpriced souvenirs at the scenic area entrance, the shops in Guling Town are much cheaper; the Three-Tiered Spring has many steps, so proceed according to your ability, take the cable car if you get tired, don't push yourself too hard~ Lushan is really not the "old-fashioned scenic spot" from textbooks! It's the kind of fairyland where you wake up to misty clouds in the morning, see waterfalls at noon, stroll through old villas in the afternoon, and enjoy stone chicken in the evening~ Tag your photo buddies, whether it's spring for blooming flowers, summer for escaping the heat, autumn for red leaves, or winter for snow scenery, Lushan has it all!
