Jiujiang

A river-and-lake city at the foot of Mount Lu and beside Poyang Lake, combining landscapes, culture and migratory bird sights.

Jiujiang lies in northern Jiangxi, bordered by the Yangtze to the north and Poyang Lake to the east, and is the province's northern gateway. Mount Lu is a World Cultural Landscape known for its mists, waterfalls, modern villas and White Deer Grotto Academy; Lushan West Sea offers lake-and-mountain scenery for leisurely holidays; the Duchang area is good for watching Poyang Lake's migratory birds and lake views; and Xiushui is the hometown of Huang Tingjian. In summer you can escape the heat on Mount Lu, and winter is Poyang Lake's birdwatching season. Take a high-speed train to Jiujiang Station or Lushan Station, or transfer via Nanchang Changbei International Airport.
