My legs were not prepared for this hike! Even worse, the day was rainy and windy. I hiked in a raincoat all the way to the top of San-Die (3 Step) Waterfall in Lushan. It was worth it! The waterfall was huge because of the rain. The scenery was amazing! Misty clouds made the experience magical!

Let me share with you my experience in visiting Lushan. Day 0 is primarily for transportation to Lushan. Transportation: First, head to Jiujiang Long Distance Bus Station. There are many buses going to Lushan, bus fare 16.50 rmb, about 1.5 hours ride. Bus will first make a stop at Tourist Service and Transfer Centre for visitors to purchase the Lushan entrance ticket 180 rmb. The bus will end at a big square in Guling Town (牯岭镇). This is also the interchange to take the sightseeing bus for the eastern and western routes. Accommodation: Travelers will most likely stay in Guling Town, which is actually at the top of Lushan. There are many hotels, restaurants, mini-marts in Guling Town. As for me. I stayed in Lushan Tianjie Villa (廬山天街別墅). Please see separate review of hotel. Exploring Lushan: It is highly recommended to purchase the sightseeing bus card, 70 rmb to visit the various places of interest in Lushan. There are 2 bus routes - eastern and western routes. See one of my photos for the bus routes. The main interchange connecting these 2 routes is at the big square as mentioned above. The bus card is valid for 7 days, unlimited rides. To take the bus, a female staff will scan your card and fingerprint and she will call for a bus to come. Inform the driver where you are going, else he may skip the stop if no one is alighting. My 2 days itinerary is as follows: Day 1 - Eastern route. Places of interest are Five Old Men Peak (五老峰) -> Sandiequan, 3-Tiered Waterfall (三叠泉) -> Hanpo Pass (含鄱口) -> Lushan Museum (庐山博物馆) -> Lushan Conference Site (周恩来纪念馆) -> Meilu Villa (美庐别墅) Day 2 - Western route. Places of interest are Huajing, Flower Path (花径) -> Ruqin Lake (如琴湖) -> Jinxiu Valley (锦绣谷) -> Heavenly Bridge (天桥) -> Immortal Cave (仙人洞) -> Big Heavenly Pool (大天池) -> Suspension Bridge (悬索桥) -> Black Dragon Pool (乌龙潭) -> Yellow Dragon Pool (黄龙潭) -> Lulin Lake (芦林湖). Please see my separate reviews for each of the above places of interest. I spent the entire day to cover the eastern route while only half a day to cover the western route. Hence, I took the long distance bus back to Jiujiang in day 2 afternoon. If you have only 1 full day in Lushan, I recommend you to visit the major attractions, i.e. Five Old Men Peak, Sandiequan, Huajing & Jinxiu Valley.
