Mount Lu, Mountain peak in Jiangxi Province, China

Mount Lu rises 1,474 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes that create distinct geological formations along the Yangtze River valley.

The mountain served as a residence for Buddhist monks from the 4th century, with the Donglin Temple established between 386 and 402 CE.

The White Deer Grotto Academy, founded in 940 CE, developed into a primary center for Confucian studies during the Song Dynasty.

Visitors can access Mount Lu through multiple hiking trails that connect to Buddhist temples, waterfalls, and observation points throughout the national park.

The mountain experiences cloud cover for approximately 200 days per year, creating patterns of mist that influenced classical Chinese landscape painting.

Elevation above the sea: 1,474 m

GPS coordinates: 29.57250,115.97333
