(Three Cascades Waterfall)

Mount Lushan is located in the north of Jiangxi Province, with the Changjiang River flowing by just in the north and the Poyang Lake lying in the southeast . Known as "the most beautiful mountain under heaven" its scenic area covers 302 square kilometers of land, including 16 natural wonders, 474 scenic spots and 171 peaks standing on rolling mountain ranges.
Waterfalls roaring like thunder cascade down precipitous cliffs and gurgling steams meander through serene nooks. Clouds and vapor float and wrap the scenery in a blanket of mist. In the misty slopes and valleys over three thousand species of plants produce a world of green be speckled with a myriad colors while the remains of the quaternary glaciers add an air of mystery to the beauty of the mountain. A million migrant birds soar above the waters of the Poyang Lake, the largest group of cranes in the world dance between heaven and water. A really wonder sight!
