Is it better to go to Lushan in April or May?

May is better. April is rainy and a bit cold.

Notes on Lushan Travel

1. Travel Preparations:

1. Prepare a pair of shoes that fit your feet when traveling. Our trip is basically on our own. For those who walk on both feet, it is best to choose sneakers, cloth shoes, travel shoes, and flat shoes. Do not wear leather shoes, high heels, plastic-soled or slippery shoes into the scenic area. In icy and snowy weather, you may fall due to slippery roads, so wear straw sandals or special non-slip shoes with nails.

2. Generally speaking, the temperature in mountainous areas is 7-10 degrees lower than that in plain areas. The temperature is cooler in the morning and evening. You must keep warm and bring good clothes. The climate in the mountains is changeable, and the scenic areas are covered with thick ice and snow in winter, so please be sure to bring cold and rain-proof clothing.

3. Lushan Mountain and the lower mountain are winding mountain roads with many and sharp turns. Tourists in need are advised to bring their own anti-motion sickness medicine and take it half an hour before driving.

4. Because Lushan Mountain is a world geological park with a high greening ratio, mosquitoes and other insects are inevitable, so it is best to bring necessary medicines. Such as toilet water and wind oil essence to prevent mosquito bites, and also bring some fire-fighting medicine and band-aids.

2. Price negotiation reminder:

1. It is best to go up to Lushan from Jiujiang City, as there are many buses and it is convenient. Going up from Lushan District, it is easy to take a black car. It usually costs about ten yuan to go up the mountain. You need to negotiate the price with the master.

2. When renting a taxi for travel, you must first negotiate the price. You can pay a small deposit first and then pay the full amount after the trip. This can prevent the driver from dumping the customer. It is best to find a few taxi drivers in the town and leave their business cards. If you accidentally cannot go back, you can call them to negotiate a price and ask them to pick you up, because there are very few taxis at night when the tourist attractions are less crowded.

3. If you want to hire a tour guide for Lushan tourism, you should first negotiate the price with the tour guide (usually 30 yuan/day), and then make a three-part agreement stating that you should not take him to places you should not go, so as not to waste money and time. .

4. Sandiequan is the most tiring part of the Lushan tour. There are about 3,000 steps back and forth, and there are sedan chairs available. If you want to take a sedan, be sure to negotiate the price with the sedan bearer and ask about the situation to avoid unnecessary disputes.

5. When entering Lushan Mountain, you must be mentally prepared for high expenses. In addition to the attractions charging separate tickets and being more expensive, food, accommodation, and transportation are also high. A plate of roasted potatoes sometimes costs as much as 68 yuan. However, you can also find some cost-effective farm dishes, such as Shiniu Restaurant. In the eyes of netizens, the price-performance ratio is good.
