Xiufeng Scenic Area
秀峰
A waterfall and cliff-inscription scenic area on Lushan's south foot, where the waterfall Li Bai described in “Flying cascade plunging three thousand feet” can be found.
Xiufeng lies on the south foot of Lushan in Lushan City. In ancient times it was home to Kaixian Temple (today Xiufeng Temple), where Emperor Zhongzhu of the Southern Tang once studied. The Huangyan Falls and Mawei Water in the scenic area are the prototype of Li Bai's “Viewing the Waterfall of Mount Lu.” There are also Longtan, Qingyu Gorge and over a hundred historical cliff inscriptions, the most famous of which is the Seven Buddhas Verse, in the hand of the Song-dynasty calligrapher Huang Tingjian. Admission is about 50 yuan (check on site), and it is not included in the Mount Lu entrance ticket. From Lushan's South Gate or from Lushan City, a taxi takes about 20 minutes. It can be combined with the White Deer Grotto Academy and Guanyin Bridge as a southern Lushan day trip.
