This Mountain is located in the southern part of Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province and to the south of the Yangtze River. Its highest peak Hanyang is 1,474 m above sea level. The picturesque Mountain became a Buddhist center during the Eastern Han Dynasty (58-76). There are three famous temples and other historic and cultural relics in the scenic area. It was included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List in 1996.

The scenery in the Lushan scenic area is breathtaking. It is cool and pleasant in the summer, and therefore enjoys the reputation as a famous summer resort. Some verse and inscriptions on the cliffs, as well as other writings, prints and calligraphic works are of great value, left behind by noted figures in history when they visited the mountain.

The unique landscape and abundant flora such as pines, queer rocks, waterfalls and seas of clouds make Mt. Lushan become a famous tourist site in the south of China.
