Tourism

Near the northern port city of Jiujiang (九江) is the resort area of Mount Lushan (卢山). A wellknown destination in China, this resort area has stunning scenery and also some historical interest. Sadly it is all too aware of its tourism suitability and, as a result, is a very expensive place to visit. Also near the city are Donglin (East Wood) Temple (东林寺) and Tiefo (Iron Buddha) Temple (铁佛寺), two important Buddhist temples.

Near the small city of Yingtan (鹰潭) is the resort area Longhushan (龙虎山) which purports to be the birthplace of Taoism (道教) and hence has great symbolic value to Taoists. The region has many interesting temples, cave complexes, mountains and villages. It is considered by many to be the best-kept secret of Jiangxi tourism.
