There is a huge gully between Hanpo Ridge and Hanyang Peak opposite it, which seems to draw all the water from Poyang Lake at the foot of the mountain, hence the name.
This is one of the famous sunrise viewing spots in Lushan. In the early morning, the morning light is dim over Poyang Lake, and a red sun shines out from the lake, forming a brilliant and splendid picture.
On the west side of Hanpokou is the famous glacier horn “Plow Point”, which looks like a sharp plowshare, plowing the vast sea of clouds.
Opposite is the highest peak of Lushan Mountain, “Hanyang Peak”; to the north is the second highest peak of Lushan Mountain, “Dayue Mountain”; to the south is the third highest peak of Lushan Mountain, “Wulao Peak”.

A huge gully is formed between Hanpo Ridge and the opposite Hanyang Peak, which looks like a mouth that has drained all the water from Poyang Lake at the foot of the mountain, hence the name. Hanpokou is one of the famous sunrise viewing spots in Lushan. In the early morning, the morning light is dim over Poyang Lake, and the sky and water are the same color. A red sun shines out of the lake, with golden light. In an instant, the lake and the sky are all red, and half of the mountains and rivers become a brilliant and gorgeous picture. On the west side of Hanpokou is the famous glacier horn "Plow Tip Point", which looks like a sharp plow, plowing the vast sea of clouds. Opposite Hanpokou is the highest peak of Lushan "Hanyang Peak", to the north is the second highest peak of Lushan "Dayue Mountain", and to the south is the third highest peak of Lushan "Wulao Peak". At the foot of the mountain is China's largest freshwater lake "Poyang Lake", and the lake and mountains are beautiful. There is a square pavilion on Hanpo Ridge, which is the famous sunrise viewing spot in Lushan - "Wangpo Pavilion". In the dim morning light, I climbed up to the Wangpo Pavilion and looked out over the white sky. After a while, the sky above Poyang Lake was filled with golden light and purple clouds rose. Suddenly, a rising sun burst out from the misty lake, dyeing the blue sky, green water, and distant mountains and nearby ridges red. The scene was very spectacular.
Hanpokou is located at a high altitude with a wide view, making it a good place to watch the sunrise and sunset. After getting off the bus, you can see the ticket entrance after walking for about 10 minutes.
You don't need to climb any mountains to get to Hanpokou. You can just walk there. There is a small square for viewing and a colorful tower behind the archway. The movie "Love in Lushan" was filmed here. We didn't wait for the sunset deliberately. The sky near dusk was beautiful. Many people stood here to take pictures, and the moon could be seen in the distance.
Hanpokou is located in the southwest of the East Valley of Mount Lushan. It is named "Hanpokou" because of its "concave-like" terrain and facing Poyang Lake. Chairman Mao loved Hanpokou very much and left many beautiful photos here.
Hanpokou is 1,286 meters above sea level. It is an excellent place to view the mountains, water, sunrise and sea of clouds. It is also one of the nine best places in China to watch the sunrise!
Hanpokou, with its mouth wide open, seems to want to swallow up the water of Poyang Lake. From Hanpo Pavilion, you can see the lake and mountains in all directions. It is especially interesting to watch the sea of clouds and sunrise. Wangpo Pavilion is also a good place to watch the sunrise. The view is even better from the top of Litoujian.
The second small attraction on the second day is one of the six must-see attractions on China-TravelNote. I personally think it is just average. There is too much fog and I can’t see the Poyang Lake in the distance clearly. As for watching the sunrise, I never even thought about it. I guess I have to go out at 5:30. I got up at 6:30 yesterday and 5:50 today. I can’t get up early to watch the sunrise!
Hanpokou is included in the ticket price, no extra money required!
The sunrise at Hanpokou is particularly beautiful. It’s not at the top of the mountain. The sun I saw was rising from the mountainside.
Also: Due to the special terrain of Hanpankou Park, the sunrise here is 12 minutes later than other places, so arriving on time is actually 12 minutes early.
Watch the sunrise, People Mountain, People Sea...(omitted)
Just one sentence: The most beautiful beauty is the beauty that is hard-won
After watching the sunrise, everyone should be careful not to fall into the trap!
Below the sunrise viewing platform, the valley in the direction of Taiyi Village is called Tianhe Valley. The ticket price is 38 yuan. They are calling out to tourists who want to watch the sunrise, saying that it is 800 meters down to see the waterfall. Don't go! The trap here is too deep. I was trapped. Woohoo...
It’s so sad to talk about it, so I won’t say more. Just remember the tour guide’s advice: don’t go to attractions that are not included in the entrance ticket!
Hanpokou is a mountain pass located in the southeastern Hanpo Ridge, with an altitude of 1,286 meters. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the lake on one side. The three peaks are connected together like a huge mouth that is about to open, as if to drink the water of Poyang, hence the name Hanpokou. The Hanpo Pavilion here is the best place to watch the sunrise in Lushan. At Hanpokou, you can see the lake and mountains in all directions. On that day, there was fog in Lushan, and walking in the fog was like entering a turbid world. There was fog in the mountains, could it be that an immortal was about to appear?
Lushan is one of the nine places for watching the sunrise in China, and Hanpo Pavilion is the best place. It is like a galloping horse or a swimming dragon, and it stretches between Jiuqi Peak and Wulao Peak in a lively manner, with its mouth wide open as if to swallow the water of Poyang Lake, hence the name. The wonder of Hanpokou lies in the word "han", which creates the momentum of "a thousand miles of Poyang Lake and a mountain ridge". Climbing up Hanpo Pavilion, you can see the lake and mountains in all directions. Especially watching the sea of clouds and sunrise is a special kind of fun.
Hanpokou is located in the center of Hanbi Ridge in the eastern valley of Mount Lu, with an altitude of 1,211 meters. On the left is Wulao Peak and on the right is Taiyi Peak. It is shaped like a mouth, facing Poyang Lake, as if it wants to swallow Poyang Lake in one gulp, hence the name Hanpokou.
The weather forecast clearly said it would be sunny, but there was no red at all and not even a speck of haze. Maybe the pollution here is pretty serious.
Come to Hanpokou at 4am to watch the sunrise
It was October and it was quite cold.
It is best to go there when the weather is particularly clear so that you can climb up and see far into the distance. On cloudy or foggy days, you can only enjoy the fun of climbing the mountain.
We are about to reach Hanpankou. The water level of Dakou Waterfall is a bit small.
The so-called "holding distant mountains and swallowing flat lakes" is like this, the scenery is nice
The sunrise here is really blown out 😂 The sunrise is just blocked by the mountain! In fact, the best viewing point for the sunrise is on Wulao Peak!
Sunny days are beautiful, foggy days are another kind of beauty. It is precisely because of this uncertainty that people are more yearning.
The best place to see the sea of clouds, Lushan is great! ! ! !
It is very majestic and magnificent here, with dense clouds and fog, and the Hanpo Ridge, which is shaped like a fish spine, stands like a screen in the southeast of Lushan Mountain. It is also a great place to watch the sunrise in Lushan Mountain. Looking around, you can see endless scenery.
The best place to watch the sunrise is Hanpokou, which is far away from Guling Town. The sightseeing bus did not start operating in the morning, so you can only get there by your own legs or private car.
Take the sightseeing bus all the way to Hanpokou Station. After getting off the bus, walk for another 15 minutes to reach the real Hanpokou. Hanpokou is actually a pavilion on the top of a mountain. The surrounding view is relatively open, but in terms of height, it is definitely not as high as Wulao Peak. After 5 minutes of climbing to Hanpokou, I took a few photos and felt that God treated me well. Fortunately, I didn't get up early.
After getting off Hanpokou, you need to return to the bus station by the same route. At the fork in the bus station, you can choose to take a bus to Wulao Peak, or walk to the botanical garden.
It is said to be the best place to watch the sunrise in Lushan. From here, you can overlook Poyang Lake to the east, and have a panoramic view of the lake and mountains.
Hanpokou is a good place to watch the sunrise in Lushan. When the weather is good, you can also see Poyang Lake below the mountain.
20181026 Arrived for the first time, the view is good
Kuang Lu is the most beautiful mountain in the world. It is really worthy of its reputation. Hanpokou has infinite scenery, but it is best to visit it on a sunny day. Otherwise, it is really like "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu because I am in it"~^_^
Hanpokou is located at a high altitude with a wide view. It is a good place to watch the sunrise and sunset. If the fog is not too big, you can see Jiujiang city and Poyang Lake. After entering Hanpokou from the gate of the small scenic area, you can reach the best viewing point without climbing any more mountains. You can go down the mountain to the botanical garden by walking along the ridge. The view is also very good and very quiet.
I didn't see the sunrise and it was cloudy when I went there, so I was a little disappointed.
Hanpokou on Mount Lushan is the best place to watch the sunrise. Unfortunately, there are more than 190 foggy days in Mount Lushan out of 365 days a year. In addition to the probability of rainy days at the foot of the mountain, it really depends on fate and luck to be able to see the sunrise over Poyang Lake on the mountain. It was foggy this time and we were unable to see the sunrise. But we can still see the scenery in the distance. It is a pretty good place.
When we arrived at Hanpokou, the main viewing point, the nearby hill, was almost occupied. However, the view from Hanpo Pavilion was not good because it was blocked by the mountain, so we had to squeeze to the middle of the mountain to wait for the sunrise.
It is said that Hanpokou in Lushan is one of the nine major sunrise viewing spots in China. We lived very close to Hanpokou, so we decided to walk there. We arrived at Hanpokou at 5:30. We climbed up the right hill, Litoujian. The steps along the way were full of people. We climbed to the highest point carefully. At this time, the glow of the sun had just begun to appear, and there was a red glow in the southeast. Based on my previous experience of watching the sunrise, I know that the place where the sun first appears is not where the glow is the reddest, but should be a little to the left. After finding a good position and shooting angle, we waited quietly.
According to the forecast, the sunrise time in Jiujiang that day should be 5:39, but this time is the time when the sun is out of the horizon. To the east of Hanpokou is Wulao Peak, and the sun is blocked by Wulao Peak, so the sunrise time that can be seen in Hanpokou is much later than this time. It was not until 5:49 that the sun showed its head behind the mountain. We picked up our phones and took the time to take pictures. Generally speaking, when the sun just comes out of the horizon, it looks red because the light is not strong, and it is easy to take good photos. The sunrise in Hanpokou is not seen from the horizon. The sun rising from behind the mountain has very strong light. When the sun just shows a little head, it feels like it is shining brightly. The time to take pictures is actually very short. So I think the ideal place to watch the sunrise in Lushan is still Wulao Peak.
Hanpokou is 1,286 meters above sea level. There is a small peak called Litoujian on the right. If the weather is good, you can see Hanyang Peak, the highest peak of Lushan Mountain, by climbing Litoujian. Unfortunately, it was foggy today and you can't see it at all. On the left is the Hanpokou Archway, and 100 meters ahead is the Hanpo Pavilion.
Climb up to Hanpo Pavilion and look around, you can see the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains. It is especially interesting to watch the sea of clouds and sunrise.
The view is wide and you can overlook Poyang Lake in the distance.
A few steps inside is a viewing platform. From the viewing platform, the protruding peak on the far right is Hanyang Peak, the highest peak of Lushan Mountain, and Poyang Lake is a little further to the left.
The fog here is really bad. There is no sunlight at all and visibility has dropped to 5 meters again.
I couldn't see any figures far away, and I could only see the lights of approaching cars, but I couldn't see the outline of the cars.
This kind of fog produces absolutely beautiful photos.
In the heaviest fog, visibility is less than 5 meters.
It's like sitting on the edge of a cliff, looking out at the vast expanse of white.
Reminds me of Sanqing Mountain~
I walked to the right, but then I realized there was no road. I went in the wrong direction.
Legend has it that this is the road Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling walked on. There is a pavilion on it, which is also where they stayed. Below it leads to small stalls selling things. We were not interested in these, so we did not go.
After entering the gate of the scenic area, you need to walk uphill. Hanpokou is located in the middle of Hanpo Peak in the eastern valley of Mount Lu. It is a U-shaped valley, as if it contains Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, under the cliff, at its mouth, hence the name. When the weather is good, you can overlook Poyang Lake from a distance and see Hanyang Peak and Wulao Peak up close. It is the most famous and best viewing spot for watching the sunrise in Lushan.
Arriving at a certain place, people will think of the photo of sitting on a rattan chair. At that time, the ground was not hardened, but a large area of grass.
You can watch the sunrise here, and if you are lucky you can also see the sea of clouds
This is the best place to watch the sunrise. If there is no cloud, you can see the mouth of Poyang Lake.
One of the best attractions in Lushan. I went down from Sandiequan Waterfall to Hanpokou. Today's weather was rainy, cloudy and sunny. The sea of clouds was spectacular. 👍
At 16:45, we arrived at Hanpokou parking lot after only one stop. The driver told us that the last bus would leave at 17:30. It would take more than ten minutes to walk to Hanpokou, which was just enough time for the round trip. I naturally didn't want to miss it, but my son was tired and didn't want to go. The driver said that it was a rare good day today, and we should be able to see Poyang Lake, so my son reluctantly followed me.
16:51 After only a few minutes of walking, he was smiling again. My child, you are such a good companion to me.
We arrived at the destination at 16:54. Unfortunately, the altitude here was not high enough to see Poyang Lake, let alone the rolling sea of clouds.
The sky is still blue, the sun is still there, but the clouds and mist are thick, blocking the view. I can't see Poyang Lake, but I can still enjoy the view of the sky.
The valley sandwiched between two mountain valleys gives you a panoramic view of Poyang Lake from Hanpokou, which is a majestic sight.
Lushan is one of the nine places for watching the sunrise in China, and Hanpokou is the best place for watching the sunrise in Lushan. If the visibility is high, you can see Wulao Peak from a distance, and the scenery is very good. A red sun shines out of the lake, with golden light, and the picture is really beautiful. It is the feeling of the moment, which is unforgettable.
It is said that you can see Poyang Lake, but in fact you can rarely see it because it is all foggy. It is not recommended to go there.
It's a pity that there was heavy fog, otherwise it might have been really beautiful.
If you want to watch the sunrise, you will still be blocked by the Wulao Peak in front, so when you see it from Hanpokou, the sun has actually risen to a certain height and the light is not particularly soft. It may be better to see the lake below when there is not much fog.
It is an observation deck with a good view of the surrounding scenery.
It’s great to watch the sunrise here, but most of the time it’s surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China. It is very beautiful when the visibility is good!
Every time I pass by, I check in.
A must-see attraction for viewing clouds and mist. It's like looking down from an airplane. The rolling clouds and mist in the distance and the mist blowing in your face make you think you've ascended to heaven.
Hanpokou is the best place to watch the sunrise.
The mouth of Poyang Lake appeared before my eyes, which deeply shocked my heart.
Lushan is one of the nine places for watching the sunrise in China. The best place to watch the sunrise in Lushan is Hanpokou in the middle section of Hanpo Peak in the East Valley of Lushan in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. Hanpo Pavilion is the best place. In the early morning, the morning light on Poyang Lake is dim, and the sky and water are the same color. A red sun shines out of the lake, with golden light. In an instant, the lake and the sky are all red, and half of the mountains and rivers become a brilliant and gorgeous picture. The majestic, magnificent, densely covered with clouds and fog, the vast and boundless Hanpo Ridge, which is shaped like a fish spine, stands like a screen in the southeast of Lushan.
Although I was born in Jiujiang, I have only been to Hanpokou once.
A good viewing point, you can watch the sunrise in winter, and see Poyang Lake, Wulao Peak, Hanyang Peak, and Taiyi Peak. There is nothing to do nearby. The Tianhe Valley and Dakou Waterfall are both charged.
It is a good place to watch the sunrise on Mount Lushan, where you can overlook Poyang Lake.
The Poyang Lake is a thousand miles long and you can see the distant view of Poyang Lake. It is one of the must-see attractions
From Hanpokou, you can overlook Poyang Lake, and from Hanpokou, you can go down to see the waterfall.
Hanpokou is a transfer station. You need to transfer here to go to Wulao Peak or Sandiequan. In fact, it is recommended to go to Hanpokou in the morning to watch the sunrise, and then go to Sandiequan after watching the sunrise. After getting off at Hanpokou Station, you still have to walk a distance to Hanpokou, about 10-15 minutes, and it is uphill. You can take a cable car to other places from Hanpokou, but for attractions other than the 180 yuan entrance ticket to Lushan, you have to buy cable car tickets and attraction tickets separately. There are many people asking you whether you want to buy tickets, so it’s a bit messy here! When we went to Hanpokou, the fog was a bit heavy, so we couldn’t see the sunrise, Poyang Lake, or even the mountains in the distance. It was still foggy 😂 I felt that my loved one would come to marry me on a colorful cloud, hahaha!
The sunrise viewing platform is very beautiful, suitable for watching the sunrise early in the morning, surrounded by clouds and mist
"Hanpokou" is located in the southeast corner of Hanpo Mountain. It is a huge canyon between Hanpo Mountain and Jiuqi Peak and Hanyang Peak, facing Poyang Lake, like a huge mouth holding Poyang Lake and sucking the lake water to its heart's content. The huge "U"-shaped valley called Hanpo "kou" is a masterpiece of Quaternary glaciers. Li Siguang found a large amount of ice gravel on the bank of Poyang Lake at the foot of Hanpokou Mountain, proving that the "U"-shaped valley of Hanpokou was caused by glacial movement.
There are four buildings on Hanpo Ridge. At the southern end of the ridge, there is a stone archway with four pillars and three doors. The words "Hanpokou" are engraved in the center of the archway, and the words "lake light" and "mountain color" are engraved on the left and right. There is an umbrella-topped round pavilion on the ridge behind the archway, with red pillars and green tiles that are particularly eye-catching, named Hanpo Pavilion. In the middle of the ridge, there is a square stone pavilion with carved beams and painted pillars, named Wangpo Pavilion. There is also a semi-hidden "Wanggui Pavilion" 40 meters north of Wangpo Pavilion. Walking on the ridge, you can see Wulao Peak in the north, Poyang Lake in the east, Dahanyang Peak in the south, and Lushan Botanical Garden in the west. This is probably the main reason why there are so many tourists.
The essence of Lushan Mountain. A must-see attraction. Standing on Hanpokou, overlooking Poyang Lake, you will have a broad view, with wind and clouds surging, and a magnificent and beautiful scenery.
Lushan is one of the nine places for watching the sunrise in China. The best place to watch the sunrise in Lushan is Hanpokou in the middle section of Hanpo Peak in the East Valley of Lushan in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. Hanpo Pavilion is the best place. In the early morning, the morning light on Poyang Lake is dim, and the sky and water are the same color. A red sun shines out of the lake, with golden light. In an instant, the lake and the sky are all red, and half of the mountains and rivers become a brilliant and gorgeous picture. The majestic, magnificent, densely covered with clouds and fog, the vast and boundless Hanpo Ridge, which is shaped like a fish spine, stands like a screen in the southeast of Lushan.
The fog just cleared when I went there, and the scenery was spectacular.
Mount Lu is one of the nine places for viewing the sunrise in China. The best place to view the sunrise is at Hanpokou in the middle of Hanpo Peak in the East Valley of Mount Lu in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, and Hanpo Pavilion is the best place.
The scenery is very beautiful, it is worth going.
It takes about 20 minutes to take a sightseeing bus from Guling Street to Hanpokou. However, the sightseeing bus has to transfer at Hanpokou Station, and you have to get off and queue up to get on the bus. It happened to be a tourist group with a lot of people. So I decided to go to Hanpokou first. It takes more than 15 minutes to walk from the place where the sightseeing bus gets off to Hanpokou. Because it is an uphill road, it feels so far at first, but when I reached the entrance, I saw the faint mountains on the opposite side, which is so beautiful! When we arrived at Wangpo Pavilion, there were not many people, so we could take two more photos. There is a best place to take pictures next to the pavilion. You can see the majestic and magnificent sea of clouds on the opposite side, with dense clouds and fog, vast and boundless, like a brilliant and gorgeous painting!
If you want to go to Wulao Peak and Sandiequan, you have to transfer at Hanpokou Station if you take the scenic bus. Hanpokou is still a distance away from the boarding point, but not too far. Hanpokou is worth a visit, especially as a good place to watch the sunrise. Whether the sun rises in the east, or the sea of clouds rolls, or you watch Poyang Lake, this place is a good choice. The Hanpokou scenic spot itself is not big, the key is the good location, the first choice for viewing the scenery.
Many people go to Hanpokou to watch the sunrise. It is indeed a good choice to go to Hanpo Pavilion to watch the sunrise in the early morning.
The west line of Lushan is quite far, it is best to take a taxi to the entrance, or take the bus in the scenic area
It is nice to watch the sunrise from Hanpo Pavilion at Hanpokou, but unfortunately I just went up the mountain in the morning and arrived in the afternoon. The scenery is really good and the view is wide.
The scenery is pretty good, the sea of clouds is not so beautiful that it makes you cry
It takes about five minutes to walk from Jinjiang Inn Hanpokou to the tour bus station. Take the tour bus and get off at Hanpokou station. The beauty of Hanpokou lies in its beautiful scenery of "spring is like a dream, summer is like a drop, autumn is like a drunk, winter is like jade" with different changes in seasons. From the height of Hanpokou, you can overlook the first freshwater lake in China - Poyang Lake in the east, and the highest peak of Lushan Mountain - Dahanyang Peak in the south. Hanpokou is the best place to enjoy the sunrise in Lushan Mountain. The sun is just right, the clouds and fog of Lushan Mountain are not very thick, and you can vaguely see the sparkling waves on Poyang Lake, and the mountains and waters are the same color. Climb up the Hanpo Pavilion and look around. The lake and mountains are in full view. However, it won't take long for the clouds to spread out, and the green peaks in the distance are swallowed up, which makes it more mysterious. (The tour time is about 80 minutes.)
Hanpokou is a holy place for watching sunrise in Lushan, but we didn't go there because of the tight schedule and heavy tasks. I thought that you can watch sunrise from any mountain, so I gave up. However, due to the heavy fog, we didn't even find the meaning of coming to Hanpokou. There was only a "Hanpokou Archway" called the cover of the Lushan propaganda poster and a pavilion surrounded by fog. There was nothing to see. If the weather is good (such as summer), you can see the beautiful scenery below the mountain. The same is true for Wulao Peak and Jinxiu Valley. If you go to Lushan on a foggy day, you can directly pass Hanpokou, Wulao Peak, and Jinxiu Valley. It's all white.
Hanpokou is naturally a place I recommend with five stars. It would be great if I could see the sunrise, but I did not regret my decision. After all, safety is the most important thing. However, if you have the opportunity, you can go and see the sunrise. It is really unforgettable.
Lushan is one of the nine places for watching the sunrise in China. The best place to watch the sunrise is at Hanpokou in the middle of Hanpo Peak in the East Valley of Lushan in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. Hanpo Pavilion is the best place. In the early morning, the morning light is dim over Poyang Lake, and the sky and water are the same color. A red sun shines out of the lake, with golden light shining all over. In an instant, the lake and the sky are all red, and half of the mountains and rivers become a brilliant and gorgeous picture. It is like a galloping horse, and like a swimming dragon, it stretches between Jiuqi Peak and Wulao Peak with its mouth wide open as if to swallow the water of Poyang Lake, hence the name.
Hanpokou is undoubtedly the best and most accessible scenery in Lushan. But the villagers at the Dakou cableway nearby are a real bummer. You will be fooled if you go there for the first time. The Dakou waterfall is not very good and can be ignored. There is also a fee, which is nearly 80 yuan including the cableway. If you have time, it is best to go to Sandiequan and Wulao Peak decisively, and go to Hanpokou to watch the sunrise the next day.
It is a good time to come now. Lushan Xiaomei Travel Service is especially suitable for small groups and single or double travel. It provides a variety of considerate services.
A few minutes' walk from the gate of the botanical garden will take you to the back of Hanpokou. Climb up a distance and you can see Wangpo Pavilion. Going further, you will reach the main gate. Opposite Hanpokou is Hanyang Peak, the highest peak of Lushan Mountain, to the north is Dayue Mountain, the second highest peak of Lushan Mountain, and to the south is Wulao Peak, the third highest peak of Lushan Mountain. At the foot of the mountain is Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China. The scenery of lakes and mountains is comparable to each other in beauty.
Lushan is one of the nine places for watching the sunrise in China, and the best place for watching the sunrise in Lushan is Hanpokou, which is located in the center of Hanpo Ridge in the eastern valley of Lushan, with Wulao Peak on the left and Taiyi Peak on the right. It is named because there is a huge gully between Hanpo Ridge and Hanyang Peak opposite, which seems to have sucked all the water from Poyang Lake at the foot of the mountain. Hanpo Ridge is not simple either. Its steep ridge, which looks like a blade, is 1.2 kilometers long and is a masterpiece of the Quaternary glaciers millions of years ago. There are buildings such as Shifang and Wangpo Pavilion on the ridge, and Wangpo Pavilion is a famous sunrise viewing spot in Lushan. Hanpokou has a particularly good view. You can see Wulao Peak from a distance, and you can directly overlook Poyang Lake when the weather is good. Tickets are free (included in the ticket for Lushan Scenic Area). The first goal today is Hanpokou.
Forget about watching the sunrise, as my wife and kids woke up at 8 o'clock.
You can only overlook Poyang Lake at the foot of Lushan Mountain.
The view of Poyang Lake from a distance is also quite spectacular.
It happened to be a sunny day today, and the view was very good.
Looking into the distance, I feel relaxed and happy.
But because it was a sunny day, we didn’t see the sea of clouds.
There are only a few white clouds in the blue sky
