`Mysthical` Lushan

Place where Chang Kai-shek said goodbye to China ... place where Mao Zedong survived a power struggle, because Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping didn`t join the rebel cause of Peng Dehuai. Many lives could have been saved. It is still a summer retreat for many officials. For tourists, Lushan is not as rugged as Huangshan, but it has a more authentic feel with 10.000 locals and many old colonial houses. If you go in summer, you might be overrun by hordes of Chinese tour groups.
