Ruqin Lake is majestic yet elegant. It got its name because of its curvy shores and the lake surface that resembles a violin. In addition, there are two characters "Ruqin" carved by ancient people on the rocks beside the lake.
Half of the lake is close to the Huajing Garden, also known as Huajing Lake. There is a curved bridge leading to the island in the middle of the lake. The garden is full of flowers, winding paths, lakes and mountains, and the scenery is picturesque.
It is said that the Flower Path is where the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi wrote the poem "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple". There is a "Bai Juyi Thatched Cottage Exhibition Room" in the garden. A stone statue of Bai Juyi stands by the lake.

Ruqin Lake is majestic yet elegant. The lake is named after its curvy shores, which resemble a charming violin, and the words "Ruqin" carved by ancient people on the rocks beside the lake. Half of the lake is close to Huajing Garden, so it is also called Huajing Lake. There is a curved bridge leading to the island in the middle of the lake. The garden is full of flowers, winding paths lead to secluded places, and the scenery of lakes and mountains is picturesque.
It was really beautiful. I felt like I was in a fairyland, with clouds and mist covering the lake, the small bridge, the pavilion, the trees and flowers, and making them seem invisible. The small wild flowers were hung with crystal clear dewdrops, which looked particularly beautiful. It seemed that it got dark very quickly in the mountains. Ruqin Lake was purple at night, as if covered with a thin veil. The light at the beginning reflected the lake surface, which was even more deep and quiet.
Ruqin Lake in Lushan Mountain, located in Guling Town, Lushan City, Jiujiang City, is one of the famous scenic spots in Lushan Scenic Area. It is an artificial lake formed by building a dam at the valley mouth at the upper end of the sky bridge using the deep depression in the West Valley. Because the lake is shaped like a violin and the two characters "Ruqin" written by ancient people are engraved on the rocks beside the lake, it is named "Ruqin Lake".
There is an island in the center of the lake, which is connected to the lakeshore by a nine-curve bridge. There are green pines and artificially raised peacocks on the island. There is a famous glacier relic "Flying Stone" beside Dalin Road in the east of the lake. The flower path by the lake is also called "Bai Sima Flower Path" because Bai Juyi once walked along the path to appreciate the flowers. There is a couplet on the gate of the garden: "Flowers bloom in the mountain temple, and the poet stays." Ruqin Lake is surrounded by peaks and ridges, and the forest is lush and elegant. Whether you are strolling by the lake or climbing the island to watch peacocks, you can enjoy it.
There are two lakes on Mount Lushan, one is Lulin Lake next to the Lushan Museum, and the other is Ruqin Lake.
Looking down from the air, the lake looks like a violin, hence the name "Ruqin Lake", an artificial lake built in 1961. Ruqin Lake is adjacent to Huajing, and it is said that the original site of Dalin Temple was in Ruqin Lake, but now Dalin Temple is no longer there, replaced by Ruqin Lake.
One minute the lake was as clear as a mirror, with the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the Nine-Curve Bridge, the distant mountains and the nearby trees clearly displayed before one's eyes. The next minute everything was hidden in the mist, like a dream.
Coming out of Michun Garden, you are still at Ruqin Lake. Going further, you can see the words "Ruqin" and "Keting" written on the ancient stones on the roadside. It seems that this lake is not in vain! Ruqin Lake in the mist is like a still ink-splashed landscape painting, which makes people want to sit quietly on a chair by the lake and integrate themselves into this painting.
Ruqin Lake is located near the Huajing Garden, and is also called Huajing Lake. There is an antique stone bridge leading to the lake island. When I looked from the bridge, I always felt that there was a road behind the Yiqin Pavilion in the lake that led to the other side of the lake. So my cousin, who originally did not plan to go to the lake island, used practice to prove that my guess was wrong. The lake island is really in the lake center. There is only one way to get there, the nine-curve bridge. It is a lonely island.
We estimated that it would take longer to go around the lake, so we decided to return the same way and walk along the path by the lake back to the bus stop.
Ruqin Lake is the highlight of the Huajing scenic spot. In the early morning, the lake view bathed in the rising sun is breathtakingly beautiful.
This is the source of Sima Bai’s “Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple”.
The poem "The beauty of April on earth is gone", was memorized by two elementary school students named "Hangzhou" and "Paradise". One of them was very popular and the other was very familiar with it. Awesome, awesome!
Ruqin Lake in Lushan is located in a street park in Gulingjie Town, Lushan City. It is also one of the famous scenic spots in Lushan Scenic Area. It is named "Ruqin Lake" because the lake is shaped like a musical instrument violin. There are curved bridges, pavilions, and flower paths in the lake. The flower path is also called "Bai Sima Flower Path" because Bai Juyi once walked along the path to appreciate flowers.
There is a lake in Huajing, which is now the "Ruqin Lake". It 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. Because the lake is next to Huajing, it is called Huajing 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 on the lake surface. There is a Yiqin Pavilion at the east end of the island and a waterside pavilion at the west end.
Ruqin Lake in Lushan Scenic Area
I personally prefer the winter at Ruqin Lake, as shown in Figure 1
Picture 2 was taken during the National Day holiday.
Figure 3 is the beginning of the school year in September
The best time to visit Lushan waterfall is in July and August, the peak season for water flow. There is nothing to see in October. If you go in October, it is okay to wear short sleeves, but in Lushan, the temperature is relatively low, especially at night, so it is best to bring a jacket or something.
It is even more beautiful than Lulin Lake.
I built my house in a human world, but without the noise of carriages and horses.
How can you do this? The mind is far away and the place is far away.
Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, I leisurely see the southern mountains.
This is a beautiful scenery on Mount Lushan, the view is nice!
Ruqin Lake is beautiful. It is very pleasant to sit on a bench by the lake and watch the sky and clouds. There is a small place by the lake where you can play with water guns, which is also a great place for children.
Ruqin Lake after the afternoon fog and the morning clear sky have two different feelings, the former is mysterious and the latter is tranquil.
An artificial lake, on top of Mount Lushan, is very rare, with water, mountains and good times.
The third small scenic spot on the second day, Ruqin Lake, was photographed from the stone tablet to the pavilion in the lake. It was very beautiful! If you have time, you can walk to the pavilion in the lake and sit there!
A must-see attraction in Lushan, next to Guling Town, stay on the mountain and walk around at night, it feels great, the scenery is nice
The scenery is very good. It is also one of the important sites. The Flower Trail and Jinxiu Valley are next to it.
The photos look very beautiful when there are clouds, but without clouds it is just a mountain lake, dotted with pavilions and towers, and the area is relatively small.
When I arrived, the snow had not yet melted, and the Ruqin Lake with snow was still very beautiful. It was a pity that the Sandiequan scenic area was closed, so I didn't have the chance to see it.
The water here is clean and clear, and because the lake surface is shaped like a violin, it is named Ruqin Lake.
Ruqin Lake has beautiful and unique scenery, and is a Feng Shui treasure land of the entire Lushan Mountain. It is like a vast bright moon in the water, refreshing and beautiful.
Next to the flower path is the "Ruqin Lake", the lake is calm, like a clear mirror, lost among the mountains. That day, the fog was very heavy, and then I thought I was here to cultivate immortality.
Lushan Mountain, Huajing area, Ruqin Lake are very beautiful.
In the thick fog, the word "like a harp" can be seen clearly, but the word "audible" is basically invisible.
They say it's a violin.
I really believe it.
Foolishly searching,
Looking for the four words on the bluestone:
As audible as a piano!
In the autumn breeze of slanting rain,
Splashing circles of ripples.
On the small island in the center of the lake,
A sad flute sound was heard.
I want to see the remains of peach blossoms.
The whole garden was turned upside down.
The corner of the ruined wall,
Carved with mottled:
April is the season of beauty...
A good Dalin Temple.
I don't know when it was destroyed and disappeared without a trace.
In the weeds and thorns,
All the startled birds were unknown.
Are you feeling comfortable in the autumn rain?
Knowing that I am the wind that always travels alone,
You will be entangled in confusion,
I squander my poetic spirit recklessly.
Qiuyu, are you being unreasonable?
You messed up my hair which is always neat and tidy.
And wet my skirts,
Disdain is my final warning to you.
A puzzle that is beyond comprehension.
I'm too lazy to take shelter in the thatched cottage.
Could the owner of the thatched cottage come to meet you?
You can welcome me or hate me,
Here I am, in early autumn.
In the early autumn rain,
I washed away all the makeup,
Tear off the hypocritical veil that only exists in the mortal world.
On the misty lakeside,
I have no scruples.
Being unrestrained is my true nature.
Wearing a ragged raincoat,
While the lake is calm,
Boil a pot of fragrant tea in the cabin.
He howled hoarsely,
The autumn geese were so frightened that they wandered away.
A line of words was printed in the rippling waves.
They say it's a violin.
I really believed it.
Forget the lingering wind and the drunken rain,
I only remember the four words on the bluestone:
As audible as a piano!
Ruqin Lake
Written by Wang Long of Huangzhou on October 24, 2016
Ruqin Lake is a lake in Lushan Scenic Area. The wind by the lake is very cool and the scenery is beautiful.
This is a very beautiful lake, but I also recommend going there on a sunny day. You won’t be able to see the azure blue water on a cloudy day.
The scenic spots in Lushan Scenic Area, such as the artificial lake that looks like a piano, are not charged separately. The Wulao Peak, Hanbokou, and Sandiequan are simply too expensive.
Ruqin Lake is relatively close to the main street of Guling Town, and it is within walking distance. It is quite relaxing to travel around the lake. You can take a short half circle along the lake and sit on the small island in the middle of the lake. It is a rare relaxation.
Ruqin Lake is not far from Guling Town, only one or two stops away by sightseeing bus. It is the first place to visit on the west line. You can walk around the lake from the flower path. Because the entire lake surface is like a violin, it is called Ruqin Lake. In fact, it is also an artificial lake. The scenery will be more beautiful when the peach blossoms bloom in spring.
Surrounded by mist, it's like a fairyland. I still prefer the foggy Lushan Mountain.
I didn't go in to see it today, but I took a few photos on the roadside. The scenery should be okay, and it's nice to take pictures. Although the lake seems to be very clean in the photos, it is actually a bit dirty.
The night view is also beautiful, and the surrounding accommodation is convenient.
We were pleasantly surprised to see a cloud of mist floating towards the lake from the opposite valley. After a while, the cloud formed a dreamlike scenery on the lake surface. I took the most beautiful photo of this trip.
To see the beautiful scenery, you need the right time, right place and right people. It's like entering a fairyland, just like the painting in Du Fu's poem.
Right next to the hotel, there are cultural performances and the scenery is nice. The hotel provides free cars to the main street, which is quite good. The night view is also beautiful, with many European-style villas. It is quite pleasant to go around the river. There is a section of the hotel sewage that makes the lakeside smelly, which is a pity.
The mountains and lakes of Ruqin Lake ripple with all the nothingness, as long as you can imagine it. Where there is water, there is spiritual energy, and the feeling makes people feel light.
Ruqin Lake is a street park located on Guling Street in Lushan Mountain. It is named "Ruqin Lake" because the lake surface is shaped like a musical instrument violin. It is especially beautiful in the mist and rain.
The lake is named after its shape like a violin. There is a small island in the center of the lake, which makes boating on the lake more interesting.
We sat under a big tree by the lake and enjoyed the coolness of the moment.
There were many water striders on the lake. The children watched them very carefully and kept calling "bug, bug".
When we arrived at the station, I was speechless to see such fog. I told the driver that I didn’t want to get off and went directly to the next station.
The driver said: Let’s go down and take a look, the fog comes in waves.
So I got off the bus and found a place to sit and wait for the fog to clear...
After waiting for a while, the fog really dissipated. I almost missed the unexpected beautiful scenery!
When the fog was almost dissipated, it came again, like the song "Love in Lushan" playing on loop.
Beautiful lake view and water. A good place for tourists to take a walk.
The scenery is great, with great fall colors. Great place for photography!
The scenery of Ruqin Lake is really amazing. People who live here are really happy. It's a natural oxygen bar. It's not the right time to go. It would be better if you go in autumn or on a snowy day.
Ruqin Lake is beautiful for taking photos, but it is not very good in reality, the lake water is a bit dirty
I like the quiet beauty of Ruqin Lake. The location is at the entrance of Huajing Park. There is a tulip exhibition in Huajing Park, which I like very much.
Ruqin Lake in Lushan is in Guling Town, which is more convenient to go to.
The lake is beautiful, but it was raining, so I didn't see the most beautiful view
It must be very beautiful after the snow in winter. Come and see it next time in winter.
The Ruqin Lake in front of me is so beautiful~
The combination of the lake and the flower path attracts countless photography enthusiasts to create here regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter.
The lake, covering an area of 110,000 square meters, is majestic when the wind blows and beautiful when the wind stops.
Standing by the waterside pavilion, admiring the sights, and the winding covered bridges evoke longing!
I deeply suspect that the altitude here is low, because there is too much fog and heavy moisture, so I can't see the lake behind my son.
This is another kind of hazy and gloomy sky and water. To be honest, I don't like it. I still love the blue sky and look forward to the bright sun.
The mist suddenly dispersed, and a small pavilion appeared on the Ruqin Lake! "Quickly take a picture of my mother!" In the blink of an eye, the pavilion had become much more blurred.
Ruqin Lake is so shy, but the strong wind embraces us passionately and fiercely. We can't stand it anymore, so let's run away.
Fortunately, the eco-friendly buses by Ruqin Lake are very easy to get. Seeing that it was still early and the weather was cold, I decided to go see the cultural landscape - Meilu.
After walking half a circle from Ruqin Lake, you can go directly up the mountain from Jinxiu Valley. Along the way, you can reach the Good Luck Stone, Fanyin Spring, and Fairy Cave.
I just knew it was called Ruqin Lake, hahahahahahahahaha
Located in Lushan Scenic Area, the name is beautiful, the air in the morning is very good, and everything is quiet. Bai Juyi Thatched Cottage is a house built later, with no special features. It displays and sells Bai Juyi's poems. The whole scenic area is quiet and peaceful. There is an island in the middle of the lake, which is named Peacock Island because peacocks are raised there. The lakeside is connected to Peacock Island by a curved bridge, which sets off each other, and the name sounds very artistic.
The snow is melting...so beautiful! But it's a bit cold and the ice is very slippery. Remember to bring non-slip shoe covers, otherwise it will be difficult to walk.
The beautiful morning light is foggy. Take the tour bus included in the scenic spot package to get here.
There is no need to say much about the beauty of Ruqin Lake, it is the essence of Lushan Mountain. However, the weather is very important. If there is heavy fog, you can't see anything.
It was foggy most of the time, but it would come and go. It was worth taking some photos.
It was cloudy and foggy when I went there, and I finally got a glimpse of Ruqin Lake. It snowed on the last day, and Ruqin Lake was so beautiful after the snow. The only regret was that it was cloudy all the time.
Very beautiful and quiet, especially in foggy weather.
Ruqin Lake is majestic yet elegant. It got its name because of its curvy shores, the lake surface resembles a violin, and the words "Ruqin" carved by ancient people on the rocks beside the lake.
Half of the lake is close to the Huajing Garden, also known as Huajing Lake. There is a curved bridge leading to the island in the middle of the lake. The garden is full of flowers, winding paths, lakes and mountains, and the scenery is picturesque.
A must-visit place when you come to Lushan! Very suitable for taking photos!
Without further ado, here are the pictures!
In Lushan, just take the sightseeing bus and get off at Huajing!
Ruqin Lake is an artificial lake with calm water like a mirror. Its biggest attraction is the curved bridges and pavilions on the lake, which is one of the business cards of Lushan Mountain.
Ruqin Lake in Lushan is a street park located on Guling Street, Lushan District, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. It is named "Ruqin Lake" because the shape of the lake resembles a musical instrument violin.
Built in 1961, it covers an area of about 110,000 square meters and has a water storage capacity of about 1,000,000 cubic meters.
Lushan Ruqin Lake, a very comfortable scenery...
Ruqin Lake has exquisite scenery, surrounded by mountains and shrouded in mist.
The scenery of the lake and mountains at Ruqin Lake in Lushan is quite nice, and you can visit it together with the flower path.
Ruqin Lake is still very beautiful, a very suitable place for taking photos. There is also a Nine-Curve Bridge on the lake. Not far from here is the Flower Path, and in the opposite direction is Jinxiu Valley~
A little further ahead of Ruqin Lake is the Flower Path, and when you get off the tourist bus, you will see the Sky Bridge. The Sky Bridge, Jinxiu Valley, and Xianren Cave are all on the same line.
The place where people in Lushan take a walk in the evening, the lake and mountains, the unpredictable clouds in the sky make the scene very different at every moment, the beauty of change. I went to many so-called scenic spots along the way, which made me feel that I was in a fake Lushan. This lake is already good, but it is not much different from the scenery of the park near my home. It's just so-so, but at least the park near my home doesn't sell Pulse and Scream for 15 yuan, and Baisui Mountain is enough for 8 yuan.
The scenery of Ruqin Lake is average, but you need to take a good look at the surrounding scenery
A very beautiful lake with ripples. It looks very beautiful when it is foggy.
Ruqin Lake in Lushan is a street park located on Guling Street, Lushan District, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. It is named "Ruqin Lake" because the shape of the lake resembles a musical instrument violin.
Built in 1961, it covers an area of about 110,000 square meters and has a water storage capacity of about 1,000,000 cubic meters. Starting from the street park in Guling Street and heading west along Dalin Road, you will reach Ruqin Lake, which is named because the lake is shaped like a violin. It is a mountain park with a couplet on the gate that reads "Flowers bloom in the mountain temple, and poets stay here", and the words "Flower Path" are written on the gate. Beside Dalin Road in the east of the lake, there is the famous glacial relic "Flying Stone". Ruqin Lake is located in the West Valley, surrounded by peaks and ridges, lush forests, and an elegant environment. There is an island in the center of the lake, and there are many artificially raised peacocks on the island, so it is named Peacock Island. It is connected by a curved bridge and decorated with waterside pavilions, forming a green water and green mountains, which complement each other. Standing on the island, you can see the wonderful surroundings.
Take a walk along the lake and experience the natural scenery
I took a lot of photos here. It was so beautiful that I fell in love with this place.
After visiting Huajing Park, we went to Guling Town for dinner.
Then, we returned to the shore of Ruqin Lake. There would be a performance at Ruqin Lake Cultural Square tonight.

Ruqin Lake is beside the flower path, and the lakeshore is curvy and exquisite
The lake viewed from the air looks like a charming violin.
If Ruqin Lake is silver at night and blue at noon
Then the evening should be purple
Like a thin veil
The lights reflected from top to bottom, making the lake seem even deeper and quieter.
