Central Jiujiang, along the Yangtze River and near Gantang Lake, keeps many sights within a short distance, while the base of nearby Mount Lu offers a different, cooler setting for those focused on mountain scenery. A central riverside stay suits most visitors.
Mount Lu, a scenic mountain retreat just outside the city, is best visited in the milder months of spring or autumn, when hiking and viewpoints are most comfortable, while its cooler elevation also makes it a pleasant summer escape from the heat below. Riverside parks suit a relaxed evening walk in the city itself.
Buses and taxis cover the city center, while reaching Mount Lu typically involves a bus or organized transport up the mountain roads. The lakeside and riverside areas of the city are pleasant to explore on foot.
Spring and autumn bring the most comfortable conditions for both the city and Mount Lu, while summer in the city itself is hot and humid, prompting many to head for the mountain's cooler air.
