Jiujiang
Jiujiang connects the Yangtze River, Poyang Lake and the mountains of Lushan. Distinguish the locations of the urban area, Lushan and Lushan West Sea when planning your trip. Arrange mountain sightseeing and lake boat trips separately; similar names do not make them the same scenic area.

First visit
Arrive and settle in Jiujiang
Start with arrival and where to stay, then choose your sights. Recheck transport and accommodation details before booking.
Check the destination, not just the city name+
After reaching Jiujiang, Lushan and lake areas towards Yongxiu require different road connections. Choose your station and transport according to the actual destination first.
Use separate bases for mountain and lake areas+
When visiting Lushan and Lushan West Sea, compare staying in each area with the cost of returning to the city. Do not squeeze both into a compact half-day trip.

Places to explore in Jiujiang
Lushan West Sea Scenic Area
庐山西海景区
Lushan West Sea comprises a lake area and Yunju Mountain, offering different experiences of islands, woodland and mountain culture. The lake is connected with the Zhelin water conservancy project; it is not a lake on top of Mount Lu. Choose boat trips according to operating routes or enjoy shoreside views. These reference photographs focus on islands and morning and evening light, not Yunju Mountain or facilities on each island.
Lushan Scenic Area
庐山风景名胜区
Lushan combines peaks, valleys, waterfalls, mountain lakes and modern cultural history. Explore Guling and different sightseeing routes over separate days, appreciating mountain scenery and historic buildings rather than cramming every waterfall and viewpoint into one day. Current reference images include mountain lakes, waterfalls, cable cars and viewing routes. Mountain visibility and water volume change with weather.
