There is a city that connects the Yangtze River, Mount Lushan and Poyang Lake.

In my eyes, the travel circle and the entertainment circle are similar. There are more than 600 cities in our country, some of which are popular (such as Changsha and Chongqing), and some of which are a little outdated (such as the Three Gorges). If you happen to be selected by a certain movie or variety show, you may suddenly become popular (such as Zhongwei and Zhanjiang). Does it sound the same as a star?

The former Lushan Mountain is equivalent to the current Beijing 798. It can be called an artist incubation place. At the foot of Lushan Mountain, Tao Yuanming completed the poem "Returning to the Garden and Living in the Fields" and began to hold the title of the founder of pastoral poetry. When the younger generation saw it, they saw that the spirit of Lushan Mountain also came with them.

Ancient poets all had KOL attributes. When more and more famous people wrote poems here, Jiujiang became famous.

Incomplete statistics of poems describing Lushan/Jiujiang:

*What a familiar page

And another highlight moment of Jiujiang , some not so glorious.

During the Opium War, among the unequal treaties we signed, Jiujiang was also one of the ports opened for trade. It is next to the Yangtze River and has a developed water system. Jiujiang Port can transport Jiangxi's rich products out. At that time, Jiujiang, the most prosperous rice market and tea market in domestic trade, occupied a place.

With its mountains, lakes and rivers, Jiujiang has no shortage of tourism resources and various delicacies. The well-known Lushan Mountain actually has many hidden ways to play. It's just that what Jiujiang can show is more about remembering the past. Indeed, in the new era, she has not been able to create more new interests that can cater to the needs of young people.

But I think there are indeed people who like to reminisce about the past who would like to visit Jiujiang.

@Pitt Xu Bi

When writing about Jiujiang, it’s not that you must go to Amway because it’s a strong one. After all, not everyone likes to go to unpopular places. I want everyone to see how different the world is and open up some blind spots in knowledge. But if one day it suddenly becomes popular, those who went there in advance will make a profit.

@Pitt Xu Bi

Next, let’s walk into the story of Jiujiang (National Treasure.avi).

Visiting Jiujiang is roughly divided into three parts: urban area, Lushan and surrounding areas, and Poyang Lake. You can allocate it according to your own time. The background of Jiujiang is inseparable from poetry, so I simply borrowed ancient poems to lay out the travel map of Jiujiang.

First stop: See off guests on the first night at Xunyang River

Xunyang is the old name of Jiujiang. The urban area of ??Jiujiang is on the bank of the Yangtze River, across the river from the Next door is Hubei. The Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge across the river is not inferior to the one in Wuhan, and it is one of the many bridges in the country that can be used to show off its technological content.

Now when walking along the river, you will pass by two pavilions and two floors with their own stories. The scenery is very good.

No matter how many poems I forget, I will never forget the phrase "big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate". Bai Juyi, who was frustrated at work, wrote the elegant sentences in "Pipa Xing" at the Pipa Pavilion by the river.

@云risewhen

This pavilion has been built and destroyed many times, but with big names leading the way, it continues to attract future generations to create. Compared with the 56 inscriptions on the poems and songs of Pipa Pavilion displayed in the pavilion, I think what is more attractive is the view of the Yangtze River from a high place.

Walking west along the Yangtze River embankment, you will see the Suojiang Tower that has withstood 400 years of wind and rain. This stone tower fortunately withstood the earthquake and escaped the war, but the Suojiang Tower and the four iron oxen built together with it did not lock up his life.

@counterfeit Dongfangshuo

Several poets in the Qing Dynasty passed through this place and wrote poems for it after hearing about the experience of Suojiang Tower. For example, "I can travel thousands of miles by relying on columns, but I don't know if the Yangtze River is locked", "The golden bull guarding the earth has disappeared, but the iron lock of Shen Yuan can still remain", which is quite sad.

*The newly built Tieniu and Suojiang Towers

Continuing to the west, Xunyang Tower is more famous than the previous two players. After all, It is a place name that appeared in "Water Margin". It was in this building that Song Jiang wrote his anti-poetry, so he was forced to go to Liangshan.

The Xunyang Tower we see now is newly designed with reference to the illustrations of "Water Margin". If you sit in the teahouse on the fourth floor and watch the sunset, you may be able to find a little bit of that time. Bai Juyi wrote the poetic and picturesque "Inscription on Xunyang Tower" here.

@山外青山楼外楼

The pavilions and pavilions seem to be the bar and bookstore of the ancients. Bai Juyi and the Neo-Confucianist Zhou Dunyi were both on the Yangtze River. Pavilions were built in Gantang Lake, but they were eventually destroyed.

@Xu Shiyao

The newly built Jinyue Pavilion is the site of Master Duan Shui. It is located on the original site of Bai Juyi's pavilion and is named after Zhou Dunyi. You can take a boat ride during the day and enjoy the night view at night. It is a cozy little paradise in the city.

Second stop: Looking across the mountain and forming a peak

Lushan Mountain is the biggest sign in Jiujiang. After all, the airport here is called Jiujiang Lushan Airport. Ancient people left poems handed down from generation to generation praising Mount Lushan; modern people moved their homes to Mount Lushan. There are hundreds of small villas on the mountain with different styles where celebrities lived. The most famous one must be the beautiful house where Soong Meiling lived.

@小子auntie

Chongqing’s 5D magic also exists in Lushan. The villas are built in the town of Guling on the mountainside. It has a permanent population of 20,000 and is equipped with banks, restaurants and hospitals. It is not the kind of place just used to receive tourists, but there are real people living there for generations.

@Lookxiong

Guling Town is a rest stop for visiting Lushan Mountain. One day for the east route, one day for the west route, sleep in the town for one night, and take a Watching "Love in Lushan" in the cinema (only playing this movie) is a classic Lushan itinerary.

It would be a pity to leave Lushan Mountain after walking around like this, because I discovered several hidden attractions around Lushan Mountain, each with its own reasons to go.

In the southwest of Lushan Mountain, there is a 48-meter-high Donglin Buddha, which is the tallest Amitabha statue in the country.

@ sorrow but not sad

The Buddha statue is surrounded by Tang-style buildings. It is very suitable for cherry blossom viewing and taking pictures in spring, and there is no need for such a beautiful place. Tickets.

@ sorrow but not sad

The Donglin Temple where the Donglin Buddha is located is newly built, and its original location is in the northwest of Mount Lu. This old temple was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and is the birthplace of the Pure Land Sect of Japanese Buddhism. There are only two ancestral halls of the Pure Land Sect in China, the other one is at Xiangji Temple in Xi'an.

Donglin Temple is very low-key, does not market and does not charge tickets. It is said that asking for fortune-telling here is quite effective. If you want to live a pure life, you can even stay in the temple for a few nights.

Next to Donglin Temple is Xilin Temple. Su Shi's famous line about Lushan Mountain, "Looking at it from the side, it becomes a ridge and the side becomes a peak" was written here in a flash of inspiration.

Some mountain climbing enthusiasts go straight to Wulaofeng instead of visiting other scenic spots in Lushan Mountain. But they may not know that hidden at the foot of Wulaofeng Mountain is Bailudong Academy, one of the four major academies in ancient times. It was probably Tsinghua University and Peking University a thousand years ago.

@PittXu Bi

This college was famous in the Southern Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, which valued culture over martial arts, Zhu Xi came here to do some operations. , directly upgraded Bailudong from an ordinary school to a 211, and everyone rushed to study here.

@行视安克武

I think so. With such a good environment, it’s no wonder that students can burst out creatively here and write like a genius.

By the way, there is a hot spring resort 3 kilometers away from Donglin Giant Buddha. If you don’t want to live in Guling Town on Lushan Mountain, you can consider staying at the foot of the mountain to soak in the hot springs.

The third stop: A wine glass along the Yangtze River

Wang Anshi has a poem called "Luoxing Temple", the first sentence "Cui Wei rises from the Yuntai Palace" "It is written about Luoxingdun in Jiujiang. This is a magical place that can only be reached on foot from December to March. The rest of the time, it can only be reached by boat.

Legend has it that this is a falling star, which is what we now call a small hill formed by a meteorite. When the tide is high, it is surrounded by a wetland, but when the tide goes down, it becomes an island in the lake. I don’t know what kind of scenery was in front of Wang Anshi when he wrote "A glass of wine along the Yangtze River" here.

The fourth stop: Roll over the wave mountain like snow

There are as many people who have written about Mount Lu as there are people who have written about Poyang Lake. In the process of expanding its territory, Poyang Lake also flooded Haihun County, where Haihunhou was, and eventually became the largest freshwater lake in China.

This is not only the largest lake in terms of area, but also the number and types of migratory birds that stop at Poyang Lake can be compared around the world.

Of course, the scenery of Poyang Lake composed of migratory birds is the most attractive part.

Every year from November to December, when Poyang Lake enters the dry season, large areas of pink polygonum flowers bloom on the exposed land. At this moment, the melody of "Sea of ??Flowers" automatically comes to mind.

At the same time as the polygonum flower, there is a large grassland, which may be the green grassland closest to the people in the south.

As mentioned before about Luoxingdun, there is a similar landscape in Poyang Lake, which is completely exposed only during the dry season every year. This small island formed two million years ago is named Shoe Mountain because it is shaped like a shoe. It may be the most unknown World Cultural Heritage in the country.

During the wet season, in addition to seeing the vast lake, the Yongwu Highway by the lake will turn into a romantic water highway, attracting many people to take photos every year. .

Except for Lushan Mountain and the urban area, the scenic spots in Jiujiang are relatively scattered, so self-driving is a better choice.

Located between rivers, lakes and mountains, the rich products are a gift from God to Jiujiang. Since the beginning of the agricultural civilization era, this place has been a veritable land of plenty.

The fish from Poyang Lake used to be presented as tribute to the emperor, but now the fish with distiller’s grains has become a specialty delicacy of Jiujiang.

The clouds and mist between Wulao Peak and Hanyang Peak in Lushan Mountain remain all year round. The cloud and mist tea produced in this area is of high quality. Jiujiang people specially made Jiujiang tea cakes with camellia oil. This crispy and fragrant cake has been a snack enjoyed by locals with tea since the Tang Dynasty.

There is a signature dish in Lushan: Lushan Stone Chicken, which combines three of the most famous local ingredients: Stone Chicken (actually a kind of frog), Shi fungus (fungus) and Stonefish is very fresh when you think about it.

Jiujiang’s snacks and the happy planet of fans are indispensable. They have overlapping parts. For example, the fans who cannot escape also have their own unique features. It is said that each Jiujiang people all have their own favorite carrot cake shop.

@哈尼丹

Where to eat in the city?

There are two holy places for snacks in Jiujiang: Si Pier Pedestrian Street and Jiujiang College Pedestrian Street, where you can eat almost all the famous local snacks.

The old Youzi shop only sells three things: candies, Youzi and glutinous rice chicken, all related to glutinous rice. The small shop is busy every day and is usually only open until the afternoon.

@curry spicy

Address: Si Pier Crossing

Granny Xu’s Carrot Cake is Jiujiang people have grown up eating delicious food, and the carrot cakes sold by this restaurant are recognized as top-notch taste.

Address: The back door of Pacific Computer City, Wuguichang, Yuliang North Road

Jiujiang radish cake uses puff pastry, which is particularly crispy when chewed, with a wrapper in the middle. If you don’t have shredded radish, you can also add meat and sauerkraut yourself, and every bite will be delicious. Liu Ji, which is next door to Granny Xu, is also a shop with many regular customers.

@ eat more strawberries

If you want to have a midnight snack at night, you can go to the Glasses Fried Club, which is open until 2 o'clock in the morning, so feel free to eat as much as you want. Fried skewers are another special way to make skewers in Jiangxi besides boiling them. Intestines, candies, dried beef hides, glutinous rice cakes... you can order some local special skewers to try.

@curry spicy

Address: The intersection of Dazhong Road Pedestrian Street and Lijia Lane

Nanchang eats mixed noodles, Jiujiang eats stir-fried noodles. Nothing tastes more like Jiujiang than a bowl of steamy rice noodles. Fried rice noodles will become more chewy.

@你萌我萌

Not only is the fried noodles delicious at this old clear soup shop, but the fried radish buns and water-cooked eggs are also top-notch, and the prices are very good. Cheap.

Address: No. 82, Yuliang South Road

Nanchang’s famous Zhou Zhenzhen Mixed Noodles also has a branch in Jiujiang, and its beef mixed noodles is its signature.

There is also an old woman’s noodle shop that is open 24 hours a day. It sells noodles and soup during the day and fried food at night.

Address: No. 2-4, Xunyang West Road

Where to eat in Lushan?

Lushan recommends that you eat in Guling Town. There are many choices and the price/performance ratio is much higher than in the scenic spot.

847 Villa Restaurant is a restaurant that combines environment and taste. The signature dish of stone fish popping eggs has a secret inside. There are many small fish inside the eggs, and you can only find out when you poke them open.

Roasted Pork with Bamboo Shoots, Griddle Pot Chicken, and Lushan Little Potatoes. Although the names of these dishes may sound ordinary, the ingredients are fresh and special after stir-frying. fragrant.

Many people think that three-cup chicken is a Taiwanese dish. In fact, its origin is in Jiangxi. Xunyang Three Cup Chicken is the signature dish of Wanglu Shuo. It is very delicious and has a rich sauce.

Other specialties such as Yunwu Tea Chicken, Griddle Lushan Bamboo Shoots, and Shi'er Chicken Soup are also worth trying.

Shiniu Restaurant is an old restaurant with a good reputation among the locals. The soybean-roasted Anhui fish is both a Jiujiang specialty and the restaurant’s signature dish. The fish is fresh and stir-fried with pickled peppers. It is spicy and sour, which is an unbeatable appetizer.

Poyang Lake fried shrimps, Roasted Chicken with Stone Ear, Lushan Live Tofu...not to mention the delicious taste, the price of 50 yuan per person is absolutely conscience.

@ Uncle who loves coffee

As for accommodation, you can live near Jiujiang Station in Jiujiang City, which is convenient for shopping and eating; in Lushan Town, B&Bs are peaceful Mostly cheap hotels. Staying in Guling Town is convenient but noisy. If you like peace and quiet, stay near individual attractions in Lushan Scenic Area.

If you have already been to Lushan, you can combine Jiujiang with Nanchang or Jingdezhen. The high-speed rails are all interconnected, so transportation is no problem.

I originally thought that the name Nanchang had been used for a long time, but I didn’t expect that the place name Jiujiang was a thousand-year-old name. It was given by Qin Shihuang, but it was called Jiujiang County at that time. Wider.

The ebb and flow of cities is closely related to the general environment at that time. Many places that were once prosperous are now in a state of desolation, and Jiujiang can be considered one of them. I wonder if anyone would be willing to visit this has-been star, follow the path of those great poets, and re-examine the style of Jiujiang.
