Guling

This small mountain municipality has an area of 46.6 km ² and a population of 13,000 ( end of 2004). It is high 1167 m. Ignorant Westerners confuse Guling like with Lushan, because the name of the country park or the city district dominated in the external representation and other towns of the district do not have as great tourist importance - just think of the significant Lushan cement plants (庐山 水泥厂) in the greater community Haihui!

End of the 19th century made ​​the European colonialists Guling at a summer resort. In a slightly different English pronunciation of the place was called Cooling, which corresponded to its main function during the summer. Even then offered bamboo and pine trees, waterfalls and mossy stones welcome relief from the humid heat of the lowlands. Built by Europeans, originated around 800 villas in different styles. Later, American and Chinese villas were added.

In the first half of the twentieth century Guling was 13 years, the summer capital of Chiang Kai- shek, who finished buildings with his wife Song Meiling in which Europeans house, the Villa Meilu (美 庐 别墅, literally: " Beautiful Lushan " ) resided. The villa is now a small museum where the old wing, the furniture and porcelain dishes can be visited from Chiang's songs and times. The number of visitors, however, is huge.

After the founding of the People's Republic of Guling was also a favorite resort of the party leadership. This took place in the years 1959, 1961 and 1970, important conferences of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Mao's presence, the famous Lushan meetings. The venue was the "Great Lushan Festhalle " ( Lushan Dalitang庐山 大礼堂), one of three buildings that Chiang 1937, for his officer training regiment built. Today, the house serves as a museum ( Lushan Huiyi Jinianguan庐山 会议 纪念馆) the memory of the three Lushan meetings.

Mao, who had initially stayed during the Lushan meetings at Villa Meilu was, in 1961, directly build in Guling on the shores of Lake Lulin own residence, the Villa Lulin (芦林 别墅), because the house number as " Lulin No. 1 " known. The architecture combines Chinese and Western elements. 1984, the 2,700 square foot building was ( with courtyard ) converted into a museum displaying various objects from the inventory of the above 800 villas, as well as historically significant objects and works of art. Particularly noteworthy are the portraits of the 500 Arhats (五百 罗汉 图) of the Qing time painter Xu Conglong (许 从 龙). This had worked for six years at the monumental work, which consisted of 200 individual images. In the war and civil turmoil of war 88 sheet are lost, so that today are still visible 112. Another focus is on ceramics and porcelain from the Han to the Qing period, with a certain emphasis on Ming and Qing porcelains.

Today Guling is all population groups accessible. Many rich people who can afford it, here acquire summer residences. The local authorities are seeking to position the greater community as a renowned tourist destination for well-heeled guests from around the country, but also from Japan, the U.S. and Europe. Currently Guling is, however, far from that goal. Because Lushan, Guling in particular, is also preferred destination of day-trippers who are herbeigekarrt masse with buses and ships. Thousands of tourists wander daily from the ways in Lushan Mountain area and it can be very stifling to move in these masses.
