Speaking of Jiujiang tourism, the first destination of most tourists is Lushan. In addition to the beautiful scenery of Jiujiang, the food is also unforgettable, and I can’t stop it. I just came back, and I really want to find a time to go again. Jiangzhou Courtyard Jiangzhou Courtyard is located on Huanhu Road, Balihu New District, Jiujiang. The beautiful Bali Lake is in front of it. The glass bridge viewing plank road next to it is an internet celebrity check-in site. The architectural complex of Jiangzhou Courtyard is also antique and full of Jiangnan charm. In the Jiangzhou compound, waterscapes, rockery, and ancient buildings create beautiful visual effects. The dining environment here is very good, and the dishes are more exquisite. It is said that the locals especially like to come here to entertain important friends or business partners. There are many delicacies I tasted this time, and I can’t finish it in one breath. Among them, Gan Shao Niu Sambo, Zhangshugang Chili Fried Pork, Boutique Lotus Blood Duck, Jiangzhou Pig Dishes, Jiujiang Carrot Cake, and Braised Pork from Hometown are very good. As far as the on-site experience is concerned, the service of this shop is very good, the dishes are served quickly, and the dishes are moderately salty and spicy, which perfectly demonstrates the advantages of the ingredients and the chef’s skills. De’an Boyang River Ecological Recreation Scenic Area Boyang River Scenic Area is located in Nieqiao Town, De’an County, Jiuchang City. It is full of green mountains and green waters, lush forests and bamboos, and it is full of pastoral interest. It is a wonderful feeling to take a bamboo raft to explore the secrets. When we visited, it was drizzling and the clouds were in the mountains. Diffuse, quite the artistic conception in ancient poems. Boyang River Ecological Recreation Scenic Area is a national 4A-level scenic spot. There are amusement centers and expansion centers in the scenic area. You can see different flowers throughout the year. This season, you can enjoy wisteria and lavender. The small river flows slowly, and the western-style wooden houses by the river are a beautiful landscape. They contrast with the pastoral scenery, making people feel like they are in a fairy tale world. Boyang River Farm is in the scenic area. Although it rains lightly that day, business is still booming. The environment of this farm is very good. The most representative dishes are grilled sunflower chicken, raw fried fish head, back duck, lotus pond moonlight (sweet peas fried with fresh lotus seeds), sunflower chicken soup, etc. Boyanghe soy milk is also worth recommending. I especially like the hanging roasted sunflower chicken. I heard that these chickens are raised by the farm itself. The post-production process is complicated and delicate. The finished product is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The entrance is fragrant. It is a signature dish. Lushanwa’s music restaurant The restaurant is located in the Hemian Street of Guling Street, Lushan. The decoration is very emotional.

Yipin’s delicious stone chicken, stone fish omelet, Lushan wild bamboo shoots stewed pork, signature tile roast chicken, stone ear stewed duck soup are the restaurant’s signature dishes, and other dishes are also good.

I drank five or six bowls in one breath. Lushan Juxiantang Hotel This restaurant is located on Hexi Road, Lushan, not far from Guling Street. It is decorated in a classical style and exudes a strong Jiangnan charm. We went early and there were not many tourists. We only found customers after we finished our meal and walked to the lobby. full. The dishes ordered by the companion are a bit similar to the previous two days, but the taste is slightly different. Lushan roasted sirloin with small potatoes, signature whole duck, casserole eel pot, and old farm tofu are all very good. Lushan Xihaiao Runju Hotel Because I was going to visit the West Sea Scenic Area of ​​Lushan the next day, I specially stayed in this hotel, and dinner was settled in the hotel restaurant by the way, and the morning buffet was also in the same place. The hotel is located at the intersection of Yijiahe Village, Yongxiu County, and the food produced is quite authentic. The steamed white fish from the West Sea, the big fish head from Zhelin Lake, and the steamed eggs with whitebait are all very good, and the local chicken with mushrooms is also very good. Cantonese people love it. Lushan West Sea Pearl Restaurant The restaurant is located on Mingzhu Island in the Lushan West Sea Scenic Area, with a beautiful lake view outside the window. The exterior design of the restaurant is simple, elegant and full of geometric beauty. It feels very special while enjoying the scenery while dining. This restaurant’s farm dishes are more distinctive. Braised mandarin fish, fish head with chopped pepper, fish head and fish tail soup and steamed white fish are all signature dishes. My deepest impression is the fish soup, which is delicious and sweet. Hukou Nostalgia Banquet This is the second time I have been to Hukou County, and it is also my second time to taste the food at the nostalgia feast.

Many locals Like to entertain relatives and friends here. The restaurant has an open kitchen, where you can see the kitchen environment, the busy figure of the chefs and the process of making food. There are many specialties in this restaurant. We focused on tasting some snacks this time, such as red fire sorghum cake, Lan Jie fried stuffed tofu, skillfully stewed bean cake and other delicacies.

When traveling to Jiujiang, Jiangxi, many people went straight to Mount Lu. In fact, there are still many beautiful scenic spots in Jiujiang. We accidentally discovered the “Jiangxi version of Qiandao Lake” during this trip.

This scenic spot is located in the southwest of Jiujiang City, spanning Yongxiu and Wuning counties, with a water area of ​​308 square kilometers, which is about 54.4 times the water area of ​​Hangzhou West Lake.

The main component of the West Sea of ​​Mount Lushan is Zhelin Lake. This is not a natural lake in ancient times, but a large reservoir formed by artificial water storage. The islands in the lake area are dotted with different shapes. The total number reaches 1,667, including nine core islands. Connected by various artistic pontoons, visitors can hike island hopping.

In addition, there are many beautiful isolated islands around the main island. They are strange in shape and lush green, some are like gems, and some are like animals. What is even more surprising is that there is a heart-shaped island on the lake. , Just like carefully carved out by hand.

Surrounding the lake are islands, with clear water and blue sky. There are both the beauty of Chinese freehand landscape painting and the charm of the island scenery. Friends in the same field affectionately call this “the Chinese version of Maldives”. In my opinion, this adjective is used very appropriately.

Take a cruise from the scenic wharf to the island wharf, the scenery along the way is endless. Due to the fine weather, the lake is pinkish blue, which is particularly beautiful.

Looking back at the pier, I saw that the buildings and mountains were undulating and layered mountains reflected on the water, so beautiful that they couldn’t be expressed in words.

Photographers always say that water is the most beautiful scenery in the world, but water without mountains is destined to be mediocre. I like the beauty of the West Sea of ​​Mount Lushan.

The cruise ship scurried forward and opened a waterway, and the long waves of water seemed to be waving its tail freely like a mermaid.

In the morning the lake was filled with mist, and a mini island appeared in front of the cruise ship. There was a tree on the island, struggling to grow alone. The distant mountains, near waters, and lone trees constitute a beautiful painting environment, and suddenly there is a feeling of being in the Erhai Lake in Dali and Lugu Lake in Lijiang.

The Lushan West Sea is the largest earth dam reservoir in Asia, with an average water depth of 45 meters and 150,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter. The first-class water quality and air make it the largest breeding ground for peach blossom jellyfish in the country.

Because of the fresh air, I felt refreshed and happy when I entered the Lushan West Seascape.

Island hopping in the West Sea of ​​Lushan Mountain is a special travel experience. The natural greenery of each island is very good, and you can always find various highlights when you circle the island.

The islands are dotted with many creative buildings. Some are stylish and elegant, some are antique, and blend in harmony with the environment, which is very suitable for taking pictures.

Looking from afar, you can see the undulating mountains and thousands of islands. The pontoon bridges connecting the islands are clearly visible. These pontoon bridges of various shapes are like strings of pearls. They connect beautifully and become a part of the landscape.

In addition to the charming scenery of the West Sea of ​​Mount Lushan, there are also many entertainment projects and special viewing platforms on the island, such as glass bridges, sky swing bridges, sightseeing towers, etc. Some classical plank roads and viewing platforms built on the lake shore are particularly flavorful.

The biggest highlight of the scenic spot is that there are many islands. In addition to climbing high and looking into the distance, aerial photography using drones is a good choice. Under the high-altitude vision, the scenery is majestic and breathtaking.

Travel strategy: There are two main tourist routes in the scenic area. Line A is for island hopping. After arriving at Sangtian Island by boat from the visitor center, you will pass by Cangdao Island, Mingzhu Island and other islands on foot, and finally take a boat back at Yunju Island Pier. At the visitor center, the whole journey takes about four hours. Because the scenery is so beautiful, we walked and filmed at a very slow pace, which took a full day.

The tourist line B of the West Sea of ​​Lushan Mountain is a special line for the fishing island. First, you must take a boat from the visitor center to the West Sea Fishing Island, and then enter the boutique tourist area. The whole journey takes six or seven hours. There is a restaurant on the island, dining is not a problem, our lunch is solved on the island, while tasting the food, while admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window, it feels particularly wonderful.

Traffic strategy: self-driving, renting a car, taxi can locate the “Lushan West Sea Scenic Area”, just follow the navigation prompts, you can also take the Jiujiang to Wuning bus at the Jiujiang Passenger Station, tell the driver to be in the Lushan West Sea Scenic Area (Zhelin Lake )under.

What’s in Jiujiang, Jiangxi?

There are Mount Lu, the “first mountain in Tianshan” recommended by Bai Juyi, as well as many historical sites, such as Xunyang Tower, Suojiang Tower, Bailudong Academy and so on.

There is also a place called Yanshuiting Scenic Area in Jiujiang, which looks like a turtle floating on Gantang Lake from a height, connected to the shore of the lake through the Jiuqu Bridge. Crossing the Jiuqu Bridge, it feels like Duan Yu, the leading actor of “Tian Long Ba Bu”, suddenly learned Ling Bo’s microsteps.

Gantang Lake is located in the urban area of ​​Jiujiang, not far from the rolling Yangtze River, Yanshuiting Scenic Area is on the north bank of the lake, and Xunyang Road is connected to it by the Jiuqu Bridge. According to legend, the famous Dongwu general Zhou Yu once trained navy here. Later, he joined forces with Liu Bei to defeat Cao Cao’s army in Chibi. The commanding platform was in front of Yanshui Pavilion, guarding the beautiful Gantang Lake day and night.

The scenery of Gantang Lake is no less than that of West Lake in Hangzhou. Dianjiangtai is part of the Yanshui Pavilion Scenic Area, but the Yanshui Pavilion opposite is actually located on two small islands, but the area of ​​Dianjiangtai is even smaller.

With white walls and black tiles, flowers and trees supporting the sparseness, the Yanshui Pavilion scenic area surrounded by water exudes a strong southern charm. The layout between pavilions and courtyards is elegant and ingenious, not only has the beauty of details similar to Suzhou gardens, but also because of the waterscape. It has a sense of atmosphere that Suzhou gardens do not have.

Enter the scenic spot from Xunyang Road through the Jiuqu Bridge on the water, but you see the lake, the pavilions are reflected on the water, and the breeze is coming, which is not full of poetry.

In the Tang Dynasty, the great poet Bai Juyi came to be an official in Jiujiang, which was still called Jiangzhou at the time. He once went on a boat to look at the lake and mountains at the place where Yanshui Pavilion is now. In the autumn night, I sent guests to Huanpukou. I felt the sound of the pipa and learned the twists and turns of the player’s life story. I wrote the ancient masterpiece “Pipa Xing”.

Looking closely from a height, the small island where Yanshui Pavilion is located is not only like a big turtle, but also like a moon. The Northern Song Dynasty philosopher Zhou Dunyi, who wrote “The Story of Ailian”, named it “Dip Moon Island”. The name “Soaked in the Moon Pavilion” originated from the phrase “If you are drunk and happy, you will be goodbye. Don’t be soaked in the moon in the vast river.”

Judging from the order of construction, the first building in Yanshuiting Scenic Area was Dianjiangtai, followed by Dianyue Pavilion, and then Yanshui Pavilion.

There is a stone stele on one side of the garden with the whole poem “Pipa Xing” on it. After more than a thousand years, the artistic conception in the poem is still clear.

After Zhou Dunyi’s death, his son guarded his tomb from Hunan to Jiangzhou, and built a Yanshui Pavilion on the embankment of Gantang Lake. The Soaking Moon Pavilion and the Yanshui Pavilion went through several rises and falls during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The current scale was formed during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and the Jiuqu Bridge was built in the middle of the last century.

There are two pedestals with the shape of a hidden sword and a stone box on both sides of the bridge at the junction of the Moon Island.

Why is there such a design? What is the intention?

According to historical data, the ancient Jiujiang area often encountered armed and slaughtered cities and bandits. From the current point of view, it is mainly because Jiujiang has an advantageous geographical location and belongs to the “soldier battlefield.” In the eyes of the ancient Yin and Yang family, all this is in harmony. Lushan Shuangjian Peak is related.

From a distance, Lushan Double Sword Peak is like two sharp swords facing the county town. The stone chisel implies hidden swords, just to put away the edge of the “double swords”.

The core buildings of the Yanshuiting Scenic Area are all located on Sommer Island. The main building is turned into the Zhou Yu Historical Relics Exhibition Hall. Various cultural relics are displayed inside, and there is a statue of Zhou Yu in the middle.

In practical terms, the name of the Soochow who died young will lay the foundation for Wei, Shu, and Wu to divide the world. Without him, the story of the Three Kingdoms would be another version.

The first building on Sommer Island is Yanshui Pavilion, followed by Chunyang Hall, Wuxian Pavilion, and Guanyin Pavilion.

The Chunyang Temple is dedicated to Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals. It is said that he used to be an official in Xunyang before he became an immortal, and he was deeply loved by the local people.

The Wuxian Pavilion was built to commemorate Tao Yuanming, Wang Yangming, Zhou Dunyi, Bai Juyi, and Li Bo. Any one of these five is a well-known master.

A Yanshui Pavilion scenic spot, condensed countless historical stories and folklore, fortunately I did not miss it.

The beauty here is both on the outside and on the inside.
