LUSHAN
Mountain Scenery, Poetic Heritage,
and Cloud Mist Tea
High among the peaks of Lushan, with cascading waterfalls and ancient temples hidden within its mists, Lushan is a serene haven for nature lovers, hikers, and those seeking spiritual reflection, deeply connected to its legacy of classical Chinese poetry and art.
Despite its ancient fame, Lushan maintains a timeless tranquility, infused with a refreshing energy that draws visitors seeking peace and inspiration. From delicate vegetarian dishes served in temple restaurants and locally sourced mountain delicacies to the famed Lushan Cloud Mist Tea, the culinary experience is simple yet profound. There’s a strong focus on natural, pure ingredients: wild mushrooms, mountain greens, and spring water. Everyone has their own idea of a great day out in Lushan.
As twilight settles, a quiet dinner at a guesthouse with mountain views, or a cup of fragrant tea, can mark the start of a peaceful evening, allowing for reflection amidst the cool mountain air.
