'''Lushan''' is a city in Jiangxi.

Lushan (?_R) is a touristy town relatively high in Jiangxi province. It was originally built up by British colonialists as a summer hill station, and still bears evidence of their architecture (both real and obviously contrived). It still makes for a refreshing escape from the summer heat, and offers much scenic hiking opportunities and some historic buildings, particularly of interest for fans of Communist Party history.

Get in

To get to Lushan from Nanchang on can find direct buses in front of the train station, the trip is about two and a half hours and costs around \30. Otherwise, one can take the train to the stop named Jiujiang (NOT the train station called Lushan). From here it will be easy to find people to share a taxi up to the park entrance (approx Y80 for a taxi) or buses to Lushan (about 1 hour, \12) leave every 30-60 minutes from around 8am to 4pm from the intercity bus station. Bus lines 101 and 102 can be found in front of the train station and stop at the bus station (?_r__?__) within about four or five stops.

Get around

Lushan is and the surrounding mountains are criss-crossed with footpaths, many of which seem to be entirely steep stairs. If you're not in the mood (or shape) for climbing taxis can be found pretty easily, but expect to negotiate prices on busy days.

See

Pick up a map at the bookstore on Guling Jie for a guide to various old "villa"-style buildings in town, and various natural sites around town of waterfalls, peaks, etc. A very pleasant walk is to follow Dalin Jie down past Ruting Lake for a stroll around the botanical gardens.
