Looking forward to this year: Lushan's winter sensation! Instant masterpiece in the crystal kingdom!

📍Address: Hexi Road, Guling Town, Lushan City, Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province
🚌 Travel Tips: In winter snow, it is recommended to take the sightseeing bus or cable car up the mountain

🔥 Must-visit routes:
1️⃣ Ruqin Lake ➡️ Huajing
Ruqin Lake: Frozen lake surface + perfect match with rime ice! Stake out before 8 AM to catch the moment of drifting mist
📸 Tips: The side boardwalk near the lakeside viewing platform has the fewest people
2️⃣ Hanpokou
The prime spot for sea of clouds observation! Recommended to arrive before sunrise, the combination of ice hanging and morning light is stunning
3️⃣ Wulao Peak
A holy land for ice and snow hiking! The third peak viewing platform offers a panoramic shot of Diamond Well Peak’s rime ice
☝️ Non-slip shoe covers + crampons are essential!

❄️ Hidden activities:
✔️ Early morning shots of red rooftops in Guling Street shrouded in morning mist
✔️ Reflection of rime ice on Ruqin Lake’s ice surface (afternoon backlight is perfect)
✔️ Icefall clusters (guide required)

⚠️ Notes:
- Rime ice is most common from December to February
- Large temperature differences! Down jacket + waterproof boots are standard
- Bring plenty of camera batteries (cold drains power very fast)
