Lushan

Lushan National Park encompasses a magnificent mountain landscape in Jiangxi Province, where distinctive peaks rise abruptly from the plains surrounding Poyang Lake to heights exceeding 1,400 meters, creating one of Chinas most iconic mountain skylines.

Lushan has been celebrated in Chinese literature and art for over 2,000 years, with countless poems and paintings depicting its distinctive peaks and ever-changing weather.

The park is accessible from the city of Jiujiang, located about 36 kilometers to the north, with bus services climbing the mountain via a winding scenic road that itself provides spectacular views.

Conservation at Lushan balances protecting natural values with maintaining the historic built environment that forms an integral part of the mountains character.
