Huajing is located 2 kilometers southwest of Guling Street in Lushan, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. It was once the site of Dalin Temple in Lushan. In the Tang Dynasty, it was known as the "First Scenery of Kuanglu".
Huajing was the place where the great Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi chanted "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple". Legend has it that when Bai Juyi was demoted to Sima of Jiangzhou (Jiujiang), he visited Lushan Mountain. It was late spring at that time. Bai Juyi was moved that the peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain had fallen while the peach blossoms here were still in full bloom, so people also called this place "Bai Sima Huajing" and built the "Jingbai Pavilion". In 1988, the "Bai Juyi Thatched Cottage Exhibition Room" was built in the park. In 1996, the stone statue of Bai Juyi made by the famous sculptor Wang Keqing stood by the lake. The words "Huajing" are engraved on a horizontal stone in the Huajing Pavilion. Legend has it that it was written by Bai Juyi.
There is a lake in Huajing called Huajing Lake, which is also called Ruqin Lake. Ruqin Lake was built in 1961, with a water area of 110,000 square meters and a water storage capacity of 1 million cubic meters. It is named because the lake is like a violin. It is also called Huajing Lake because the lake is next to Huajing. There is a curved bridge leading to the island in the middle of the lake. The garden is full of flowers, the winding paths lead to secluded places, the lake and the mountains are beautiful, and the scenery is picturesque.

In order to commemorate Bai Juyi, a Bai Juyi Thatched Cottage was built in the park. In front of the gate, a pool of clear water reflects the green trees, red flowers and the statue of Bai Juyi. The scenery is very nice. I walked and stopped. When I looked back at the road I came from, the sunlight had quietly moved to the small woods behind me. The rays of sunlight, separated by a layer of water vapor, seemed to have been filtered.
Huajing Park is located beside Ruqin Lake, so we visited this place first. Walking along Dalin Road in the woods, you can see glacier relics everywhere along the way, especially the ice table boulder - Feilai Stone. Bai Juyi's famous poem "The flowers in the world are gone in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom. I long for spring to return and have no place to find it, and I don't know where it turned into this place" comes from here. It was written by Bai Juyi when he was serving as Sima here in late spring and saw the peach blossoms in full bloom. There are two words "Huajing" in Huajing Pavilion, which is said to be Bai Juyi's original work. The pavilion is to protect this historic site.
The seventh small attraction on the second day, walking back from Bai Juyi Thatched Cottage is Huajing Park, or rather, they are in the same piece of rock. The two words "Huajing" on a rock are said to be Bai Juyi's handwritten notes.
The word "Hua Jing" is engraved on a horizontal stone in the Hua Jing Pavilion. It is said that it was written by Bai Juyi. On both sides are engraved the couplet "Flowers bloom in the mountain temple, and the poets linger". Hua Jing was once the place where the great Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi chanted "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple". Here you can really feel that Bai Juyi was deeply attracted by the spring scenery in front of him. With a lot of emotion, he recited a seven-character quatrain: "The flowers in the world in April are gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom. I long regret that I can't find where spring has returned, and I don't know where it has turned into here."
Located 2 kilometers southwest of Guling Street, Lushan Mountain, it is 1035 meters above sea level. It was once the site of Dalin Temple, one of the three famous temples in the history of Lushan Mountain (Xilin Temple, Donglin Temple, Dalin Temple). In the Tang Dynasty, it was praised as the "First Scenery of Kuanglu". Huajing was the place where the great Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi chanted "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple". There is a lake in Huajing, called Huajing Lake, which is now "Ruqin Lake". There is an oval island in the middle of the lake. There is a nine-curve bridge connecting the island to the lakeshore. The island is surrounded by green pines, like a green "necklace" spread out on the lake surface. There is a Yiqin Pavilion at the east end of the island and a waterside pavilion at the west end.
There are places like Qinhu Michun Garden which are worth seeing.
The beauty of April is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom. I went there at the wrong time and didn't see the flowers. I'll give it five stars for its fame, haha
Walking along the Ruqin Lake, you will reach the Flower Path. After passing through the Flower Path and Bai Juyi Thatched Cottage, you will reach the Fairy Cave not far along the road - "There is a fairy cave in the sky, and the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peaks." For the beautiful scenery I saw along the way, I could only keep sighing "fairyland".
There is a beautiful Ruqin Lake here. Now is the right time to come. It is late October, neither too hot nor too cold. The maple leaves are red. The blue lake and the red gradient leaves are really beautiful together! A simple photo with a mobile phone can be as beautiful as a painting. Take a photo of maple leaves in the portrait mode of the mobile phone, and the result is amazing!
The scenery is beautiful, the journey is not far, and there are no rugged mountain roads. It is a less intense scenic spot in Lushan Mountain and is suitable for walking. The reference time is 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Birds are singing and flowers are blooming, and you can hear birds chirping everywhere. This is truly a Feng Shui treasure land for self-cultivation and self-cultivation. Huajing Park is full of flowers, pavilions, steles, winding paths, lakes and mountains, and picturesque scenery. It is so beautiful that you can't take it all in.
There are some artificially planted flowers on display. It is not as beautiful as the peach blossoms in full bloom, but the environment is quiet and the air is fresh, and you can rest in the pavilion.
We are touring the flower path in the rain
Scene in the rain
I took a lot of photos in the thick fog and heavy rain.
The Flower Path is right next to Ruqin Lake in Lushan Mountain. It is a cultural landscape with a general view.
The flower path is next to Ruqin Lake. In the spring, you can see all kinds of flowers blooming. Walking down the flower path, you need to pass by Bai Juyi's thatched cottage, which has now become a place for selling calligraphy.
I took a photo with Huajing. It’s a pity that it’s not April. The main purpose of going to Huajing is to see the unique peach blossoms in April in Lushan. There is a stone with the words "Huajing" written on it at Huajing Pavilion.
The Flower Path in Lushan is quite famous. It is said that this was the location of Dalin Temple, one of the three major temples in Lushan during the Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi's poem "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple" came from here. Unfortunately, Dalin Temple has disappeared in the long river of history. Now if you walk into the flower path, you can walk around Ruqin Lake and the scenery is still pretty good.
Bai Juyi once said, "In April, the flowers on earth are gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom." This is a description of the flower path in Lushan. I didn't make it to spring to enjoy the peach blossoms all over the mountain. I believe that the scenery must be extraordinary to make Bai Juyi leave such a poem.
The Ruqin Lake is picturesque with winding paths and beautiful scenery.
Huajing Park is located on the bank of Ruqin Lake, 2 kilometers southwest of Guling Street. It is said that this is the place where the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi wrote the poem "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple". "In April, the flowers on earth are gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom. I long for spring to return and cannot find it." Therefore, later generations called this place "Bai Sima Huajing"
Huajing and Jinxiu Valley are two points in one place. Huajing is mainly related to Bai Juyi, the Sima of Jiangzhou. It is not very interesting. There is also a Ruqin Lake nearby.
The Huajing got its name from the two characters "Huajing". The original discoverer thought it was written by Bai Sima, but it is not true. It is unknown who wrote it.
The flower path felt average and I didn't have the energy to go deeper.
It was already noon when we arrived at the flower path, but the fog had not yet dissipated, so we could only see the flowers in the fog!
A small path leading to Bai Juyi's Thatched Cottage, with small wild flowers growing on the roadside, I personally feel it is average
The flower path was once the place where the great Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi wrote "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple". It is worth a visit.
Nothing special, just take a walk and have a look when you have time.
The maple trees in the flower path are very beautiful. I went there in November, which is the perfect time to enjoy the maple trees.
The place where ancient literati and poets lived is now a park.
Coming out of Jinxiu Valley, we can see Ruqin Lake and the Flower Path directly. Ruqin Lake is shrouded in fog, and we can't even tell where the lake is, so we'll go to the Flower Path first.
It is said that the two words "Hua Jing" in the picture below were written by Bai Juyi.
Bai Juyi's Thatched Cottage, just passing by.
There are many man-made landscapes, which are elegant and quiet.
Huajing is a scenic spot with nice scenery in Lushan. Basically, you can walk to Huajing not far from Gulingling. There are many flowers and precious trees around. Although it is an ordinary small park, it has a different temperament because of Ruqin Lake and Bai Juyi.
Huajing is very beautiful. We went for a walk after visiting Ruqin Lake. After the walk, we circled the lake and took in the beautiful scenery.
It’s a bleak winter, so I’d like to offer you a front-facing photo.
The cultural attraction is right next to Ruqin Lake and is worth visiting.
It is a beautiful scenic spot, and there is also Bai Juyi's Thatched Cottage.
Ruqin Lake is a small park, famous for the poem Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple written by Bai Juyi here: "In April, all the beautiful flowers on earth are gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom. I long for spring to return and cannot find it, I didn't know it turned into this place."
A place with rich cultural heritage, where the great poet Bai Juyi wrote "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple"! Next to it is Ruqin Lake
It was midsummer when we went there, with few flowers and many leaves, so we didn't see the most beautiful time.
Don't go if it's foggy, you can't see anything.
Huajing Park is very beautiful, and humanities poets have left their chapters;
The lush greenery makes you feel refreshed, and it’s wonderful to take a leisurely stroll.
There is the former residence of Bai Juyi at the flower path, which looks like the landscape of Lushan Garden Botanical Garden.
There are many plants in Huajing Pavilion, and Bai Juyi Thatched Cottage is worth seeing. Here is an introduction about Bai Juyi's visit to Lushan. Of course, there are also many things to buy in the Thatched Cottage.
I went there in summer and didn't see many flowers. The flower path is very close to Ruqin Lake and Jinxiu Valley, and Jinxiu Valley is in the opposite direction of the flower path.
A natural oxygen bar, suitable for a long-sleeved walk after dinner, if the weather is good~~
Huajing, located 2 kilometers southwest of Guling Street, Mount Lu in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, was once the site of Dalin Temple, one of the three famous temples in the history of Mount Lu. In the Tang Dynasty, it was known as the "First Scenery of Kuanglu". Huajing was the place where the great Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi chanted "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple".
The flower path is so beautiful, I especially like the lavender and cherry blossoms inside. There is also a spring garden inside the flower path, which has a sea of flowers. Don't forget to go and see it. It is very close from the flower path to Bai Juyi's thatched pavilion.
The autumn in the flower path is so beautiful. The beauty lies in the autumn colors, not the allusions. Poetry is always far away, but the autumn colors are in front of you.
Haha, what an unexpected result. Although I didn’t see snow this time, I saw rime, which made the trip worthwhile.
The scenery in the flower path is very beautiful, and there are many plants. We can sit quietly by the Ruqin Lake and appreciate its beauty.
There isn't much to see in the flower path, so just walk through it.
Huajing is located 2 kilometers southwest of Guling Street, Lushan Mountain, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. It is 1035 meters above sea level. It was once the location of Dalin Temple, one of the three famous temples in the history of Lushan Mountain (Xilin Temple, Donglin Temple, Dalin Temple). In the Tang Dynasty, it was praised as "the first realm of Kuanglu". Huajing was the place where the great Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi chanted "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple". There is a lake in Huajing, called Huajing Lake, which is now "Ruqin Lake". It is named because the lake surface is like a violin. Because the lake is next to Huajing, it is called Huajing Lake. There is an island in the middle of the lake, which is oval in shape. There is a nine-curve bridge on the island connecting it to the lakeshore.
The scenery is nice, but there are many people when taking pictures.
Ruqin Lake is really beautiful! The rest is just so-so
The flower path is right beside Ruqin Lake, where the tour groups get off and visit. There are many small attractions in the entire flower path. The Bai Juyi Thatched Cottage in it is not real, it is said to be on Hanyang Peak. The scenery of the entire flower path is still good, but there are more tour groups.
April is over, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom
It is midsummer, the trees are lush and green, and the crape myrtles are in bloom. However, the peach blossom season has passed, so it is impossible to appreciate the artistic conception described in Bai Juyi's poem.
There is a bus stop next to the flower path, which is convenient for transportation. There are the flower path pavilion and Bai Juyi Thatched Cottage inside, and Jinxiu Valley is opposite.
The flower path is close to Ruqin Lake, and it is like a small park. It should be very beautiful in the spring when all the flowers are in bloom.
There are so many flowers, very beautiful. I went there in May. It was very cool.
There is a small park next to Ruqin Lake, which has Bai Juyi's Thatched Cottage. It doesn't seem to have any special features.
The flower path is relatively small compared to other places. It was not in bloom when we went there, so it was not very interesting.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the back door of the flower path. It is said that this is written by Bai Juyi. Do you believe it?
Right by the Ruqin Lake, the scenery is pretty good and worth a visit
Bai Juyi's "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple" is about this place, and Bai Juyi's Thatched Cottage is also inside.
Huajing has a sense of history because of the presence of the great poet. Since June is not the best season here, it is worth recommending that there is only one building and one ancient tree, accompanied by Ruqin Lake.
There is a wooden boardwalk on one side of Ruqin Lake and a forest path on the other. Following the path is Huajing Park.
Bai Juyi said that "in April, when the flowers on earth are gone, the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom". Unfortunately, I came at the wrong time and there were no flowers on the flower path. Sometimes you still have to choose spring to travel, and the mountain flowers are definitely beautiful.
It was already the end of spring and the summer solstice when I went there, and there were only a few varieties of flowers left, and the number was small. The flower path is located on the side of Ruqin Lake, and the garden landscape is relatively ordinary and the degree of surprise is average.
The flowers are in full bloom, and with the drizzle, it's a special experience.
It doesn't seem to be anything special. I don't even know what the flower path looks like when I take it out.
There are not as many flowers as I imagined, and it is quite quiet.
It's quite pleasant to walk around and have a look, it's more like a park.
It's near Ruqin Lake, but honestly there's not much to see. The only thing there is Bai Juyi's authentic "Flower Path". It might be because it was March when I went there and it was raining with strong winds and fog.
Huajing is located 2 kilometers southwest of Guling Street, Lushan. There is a lake in Huajing, called Huajing Lake, which is now "Ruqin Lake". Ruqin Lake was built in 1961 and is named because the lake is like a violin. It is also called Huajing Lake because the lake is next to Huajing. There is an oval island in the lake. There is a nine-curve bridge connecting the island to the lakeshore. The island is surrounded by green pines, like a green "necklace" spread on the lake surface. There is a Yiqin Pavilion at the east end of the island and a waterside pavilion at the west end.
It is said to be written by Mr. Bai Juyi. It is worth seeing. The Ruqin Lake here is very beautiful. On January 15, 2016, Liangzi and I visited Lushan Mountain.
It's a pity that I didn't see the most beautiful time, all because of the snowstorm. If it weren't for the strong wind and snow, it would have been very beautiful inside.
It is said that Huajing is the place where the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi wrote the poem "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple". Legend has it that when Bai Juyi was demoted to Sima of Jiangzhou (Jiujiang), he visited Lushan Mountain. It was late spring at that time. Bai Juyi was moved that the peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain had fallen while the peach blossoms here were still in full bloom, so people also called this place "Bai Sima Huajing" and built the "Jingbai Pavilion". In 1988, the "Bai Juyi Thatched Cottage Exhibition Room" was built in the park. In 1996, the stone statue of Bai Juyi made by the famous sculptor Wang Keqing stood by the lake. The word "Huajing" is engraved on a horizontal stone in the Huajing Pavilion. It is said that it was written by Bai Juyi.
