About Mount Lushan
Mt. Lushan is situated in northern Jiangxi Province, overlooking the Yangtze River to the north and Poyang Lake to the south. The mountain is known as a world culture heritage site and one of the world's Geoparks and outstanding CCC/UN Ecological Tourist Destinations.

After this ascent of the mountain in 126 BC, Sima Qian put down the name of Lushan in his Records of the Grand Historian (史记). Su Shi, a Song Dynasty poet, once marveled at the mountain's elusive beauty: "You'll never know the true features of Mt. Lushan when you are inside the mountain."

Mount Lushan is regarded as the cradle of Chinese idyllic poetry and landscape painting. The average temperature on Mt. Lushan between July and September is 16.9 degrees Celsius. It became a world famous summer resort as early as the late 19th century.

The mountain is renowned for its rich culture heritage, stunning scenic beauty, spectacular rock formations, unpredictable weather patterns and rich ecological resources. Dreamy spring, rainy summer, fascinating autumn and jade-like winter precisely characterize the four seasons of Mt. Lushan.
