Lushan
Lushan, 150kms from the capital Nanchang, has been used a summer retreat for centuries, most notably by Europeans in the 19th Century. The stunning mountain vistas and the European styled architecture have created a unique environment, ensuring its popularity for years to come.
Established in 1903 by Britain's Lord Lannoze, Meilu Villa reflects a British architectural style with winding corridors. From 1934, it became the official summer residence of the political party, KMT. During the meetings of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong also lived here.
Dragon Head Cliff & Immortal's Cave At Lu Shan’s northwestern rim, there are stunning views of the surrounding plains, as the mountain falls abruptly away. There is a popular walking track which leads to the Immortal's Cave and the Dragon Head Cliff. The vertical drop here is not for the faint-hearted.
The Lushan Museum used to be Chairman Mao’s residence when he was visiting Lushan and today, the museum explains the communist leanings of the town.
