Discover
Mount Lu
Mount Lu rises beside Poyang Lake and the Yangtze, a mountain landscape whose clouds, valleys and waterfalls have held the imagination of poets for centuries. Its cultural story includes Buddhist and Daoist sites, learning traditions and later summer villas.
Spend time on the plateau and choose walks for the weather: the shifting views matter as much as any single viewpoint. A longer stay lets you explore Guling, heritage architecture and quieter mountain paths without treating Lushan as a hurried detour.
Mount LuDonglin Temple.
At the foot of Mount Lu, Donglin Temple is closely associated with Huiyuan (334–416) and the early history of Pure Land devotion in China. It is an active religious place as well as an important chapter in the mountain’s cultural history.
A visit works best as its own part of a Mount Lu stay, with time for the temple’s setting and practice today. Ask us to combine it with a wider Jiangxi Buddhist or landscape journey.
Include Donglin Temple ↗For a separate Chan chapter in Jiangxi, explore Yunju Shan and Zhenru Temple in Yongxiu. Its farming tradition and Xuyun’s later life complement Donglin’s Pure Land story, with a dedicated transfer between the two areas.
