Day 1 Mount Lu Arrival (L)

Welcome to Mount Lu – a famous World Heritage Site and World Geopark! Upon your arrival, your local guide and driver will meet you at Jiujiang Railway Station, Lushan Railway Station, or Jiujiang Lushan Airport. And then escort you directly to your hotel in Guling Village and help you check in. The rest of today is free for you to relax and explore the surrounding part.

Day 2 Mount Lu West Route Touring (B, L)

Today after breakfast, visit Ruqin Lake (如琴湖) whose shape resembles a violin and is surrounded by lush green hills. As you approach the lake, you are greeted by the crystal-clear waters. On a sunny day, the water sparkles like diamonds, while on a cloudy day, it takes on a more serene appearance. Then, you will walk through the Flower Path (花径) dotted with flowers in spring. Head to Immortal Cave (仙人洞), Lv Dongbin (吕洞宾) stone status is awaiting you silently. It’s said that Lv Dongbin became immortal in this place. Passing by Big Tianchi (大天池) and arriving at Dragon Head Cliff (龙首崖), you will witness the steepness and grandeur of Mount Lu. Discover Sanbao Tree (三宝树), which means three precious trees, with one ginkgo tree with the height of over 30 meters and two cryptomeria fortunei with the height of over 40 meters.

Afterward, you can visit two cultural and historical sites in the middle area - Lushan Conference Site (庐山会议旧址) and Meilu Villa (美庐别墅) to have a quick look at Chinese history. The villa was the former residence of Chiang Kai-shek, a prominent figure in Chinese history. At last, go back to Guling Village to stay overnight in Mount Lu.

Day 3 Mount Lu East Route Hiking - Wuyuan (B, L)

Start your morning by climbing over 3,000 steps to discover the Three Tiled Waterfall (三叠泉). You will have resonance with ancient people who wrote a masterpiece to praise its beauty and elegance. Then proceed to Lushan Botanical Garden (庐山植物园) which is the first scientific botanical garden in China to see the abundance and diversity of plants.

After lunch, take about 2.5 hours to transfer to Wuyuan which is dubbed as “the most beautiful countryside” in China. After you check in at the hotel, you can spend a wonderful night at Wunvzhou to appreciate the stunning light shows, firework shows, eye-catching molten iron throwing shows, or live-action performances. Have a nice sleep in Wuyuan to prepare for the villages exploration of the next day!

Optional visit: Five Old Men Peak and Three Tiled Waterfall both need to climb lots of steps which cost energy and time. If you want to visit Five Old Men Peak and your physical condition allows it, please discuss it with your tour guide.

Day 4 Wuyuan East Route (B, L)

First, you will head to Likeng Village which is featured with its bridges over flowing streams and a tranquil atmosphere. The houses are constructed primarily of wood and brick, with black tile roofs and intricate wooden carvings. Many of the buildings are three-story structures, providing a taste of the Hui-style architecture. It is recommended to visit Huangling Village in spring or autumn. When spring approaches, Huangling Village will become immersed in a sea of rapeseed flowers, while autumn is the best time to enjoy the Shai Qiu scenery. Once you see the full view of the vast golden gem of Wuyuan, you can't help admiring and shooting the spectacular scenery. Next, proceed to Jiangwan Village which is a national 5A level tourist attraction and an ancient village with a rich heritage of Huizhou culture.

Optional Visit : Xiaoqi Village is also a model village with well-preserved Qing Dynasty dwellings and alleys. Its ancient camphor over thousand years attracts lots of visitors. You can choose to visit Likeng Village or Xiaoqi Village according to your interest.

Day 5 Wuyuan North Route & Departure(B, L)

After breakfast, drive about 40 minutes to Sixi Village and Yan Village which have a history of over 800 years. There now retain 136 ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties which are mainly merchant houses and official residences. Paved with green stone slabs and surrounded by green fields, the villages are very suitable for a leisure walk.

Then proceed to Rainbow Bridge, the oldest lounge bridge in China which was built in the Southern Song Dynasty. It consists of six pavilions and five corridors with a total length of 140 meters. You will be amazed at its scientific design and beauty.

It's time to say goodbye to Wuyuan. You will be transferred to catch a train to the next destination.

Hi Jack,

My wife and I returned from our China trip yesterday. The crowds at most sites were overwhelming and something that we are not used to. However, I want to let you know that we had a wonderful time mostly due to China Discovery's wonderful tour guides!

Each guide enriched our experience with both their knowledge of the cities, sites, cultures, people, and foods. They were all prompt, patient, and engaging. They were very helpful in navigating the complexities of visiting China. My wife and I enjoyed their company and conversation greatly. I don't believe we would have had the same experience in China if we had traveled there by ourselves.

All the drivers were also very courteous, on-time, and helpful!

Unfortunately, my wife caught a respiratory illness on the Yangtze River Cruise and was quite sick at ZJJ. Our guide Tim, however, was there to assist at night and brought her to the hospital to see a doctor. Tim helped us navigate the Chinese health system, stayed with us throughout the hospital visit, and brought us back to the hotel late at night! We are very grateful to Tim's extraordinary assistance!

Although we provided a paper review at the end of each location, if China Discovery has an overall review of our trip that needs to be completed, please let me know!

Again, thank you for your assistance in all the planning prior to the trip and your quick responses to my questions during the trip. Knowing you were there to assist us throughout our journey was a great source of comfort!

Regards,

Alex

Hi Wonder,

Yes, you responded swiftly and clear. Both drivers pick up and drop off were good. Our guide, Gavin was a very good guide, and driver, he's attentive, knows history well, kind and well organized. We're very happy with him. Hotels Holiday Inn Express were OK, they served good breakfast. Location might be a bit stranded but perhaps chosen because most our trips are outskirts and not inner city.

Hi Reya,

Loved the entire trip planning and journey. Ms Lily our tour guide was remarkable and very informative. We had a great journey throughout the trip.

You were very responsive and what can I say, our guide Lily made the trip enriched with her hospitality. Beijing is indeed memorable.

Tqvm. This is really so kind of a 7-seat private car and thoughtful of your agency. Transportation in Beijing is so convenient and your upgrade did help. Tq again.
