After a long day at Shanghai Disneyland, I was exhausted, but the joy was pure and simple!
The fun was evident in these moments:
* The immersive experience of Soaring Over the Horizon was amazing. A few minutes took you around the world, the fresh scent of the grasslands and the hot winds of the desert felt so real.
* The visual effects of Pirates of the Caribbean were breathtaking. The grand scene of the battle for the sunken treasure was always awe-inspiring.
* TRON Lightcycle Power Run is a must-ride for the daring. The moment you hop on the motorbike, the light and speed deliver a thrilling experience.
* As soon as the music for the parade started, the fairytale came to life. Waving with Lina Belle and Elsa, all your worries vanished.
* The Enchanted Storybook Show brought the day to a perfect close. Castles, fireworks, and music intertwined, bringing tears to your eyes.
There's a magic here that makes you willingly become a child again. Even though the queues were long and tiring, the heartfelt laughter and amazement made it all worthwhile!

On an autumn weekend, West Lake is like an overturned palette of colors, revealing the gentlest side of Jiangnan. Compared to the hustle and bustle of midsummer, the lake and mountains at this time possess a greater sense of tranquility and depth, worthy of slow appreciation.
If you want to avoid the crowds, the western route of West Lake is an excellent choice. Yanggong Causeway is most pleasant in the early morning; the sycamore leaves turn yellow and fall, rustling underfoot, while the dawn redwoods on both sides gradually turn red, their reflections on the lake creating a misty, oil painting-like scene. Turning into the secluded Turtle Pool, the tallow tree leaves are even more vibrant than the red maples, egrets skim the water, and the sound of reed flutes adds to the serene beauty.
The autumn colors at Flower Harbor Park are incredibly layered: sycamores at the top, red maples in the middle, and red berries of nandina at the bottom, all arranged in a staggered pattern. From the lakeside promenade, you can frame the scene of Leifeng Pagoda and the boats dancing together, while the fragrance of osmanthus wafts through the air, refreshing and delightful. In the afternoon, a visit to Yuhu Bay reveals a mirror-like surface, reflecting the colorful forests and pavilions, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a Monet painting.
Even the taste buds are imbued with autumn's charm. Lou Wai Lou's sweet lotus root with osmanthus blossoms is soft, chewy, and fragrant; street vendors offer roasted sweet potatoes with ginger tea to warm your hands and heart; and buying a jar of osmanthus honey allows you to bring the sweetness of West Lake home.
The only downside is the crowds at popular weekend spots; early arrivals are recommended to catch the first rays of sunlight. But when the autumn sun filters through the maple leaves and falls on your shoulders, and the fragrance of osmanthus drifts across the lake on the evening breeze, you'll understand why it's said, "Paradise on earth is nothing more than an autumn scene at West Lake."
West Lake, the heart of Hangzhou, is like a dignified young woman, gracefully displaying her beauty. She possesses not only captivating beauty but also a rich history. Like an elder weathered by time, West Lake always attracts countless visitors with its unique charm. Whether it's the willow branches gently swaying by the lake or the snow-covered Broken Bridge, it evokes a sense of longing, as if stepping into a flowing painting.

This place seems to be one of the synonyms for Shanghai. Strolling through it feels like traveling back in time to the past and present of Shanghai, with different scenery, different angles and different feelings on both sides of the Huangpu River.
As night falls, the moment you step onto the Bund in Shanghai, you feel like you've entered a visual feast and a spiritual dialogue that transcends time and space.
Standing on the Huangpu River, the skyscrapers of Lujiazui on the other side of the river descend like a dazzling galaxy. The Oriental Pearl Tower, shimmering with vibrant colors, like a fashion icon, showcases the vitality and avant-garde of modern Shanghai in the night. The Shanghai Tower soars into the sky, its majestic presence demonstrating the city's ambition and sophistication. The lights of these buildings cast vibrant reflections on the river's surface. Amidst the shimmering waters, one can almost feel the pulse of Shanghai as an international metropolis. Every flicker of the lights speaks to the world about its prosperity and progress.
Turning back, the Bund's international buildings, illuminated by warm yellow lights, exude a rich historical atmosphere. Each brick and stone of these Baroque and Gothic architectural styles bears the story of old Shanghai. The bells of the Customs House chime, long and deep, as if slowly flowing through the river of time, connecting past and present. Strolling along, one can almost see the bustling traffic of the Bund in the past, hear the hustle and bustle of the concessions, and the weight of history washes over one, leaving one feeling a sense of profound change at the city's core.
In this blend of old and new, tourists weave through the area, pausing to take photos or whispering to each other. Like the hand in the fourth image, framing this beautiful scene from a unique perspective, each of us is a participant and recorder of this grand spectacle. Here, the fast pace of modernity and the profound depth of history seamlessly blend, allowing you to experience the charm of a bustling city while also allowing you to calm down and savor the passage of time.
Exploring the Bund is like reading a three-dimensional book, each page offering a different, captivating experience. It combines the glitz and glamour of a modern city with the profound heritage of a historic city. This fascinating collision is captivating, allowing one to experience the unique spirit of Shanghai, a city of inclusiveness and vibrant development.

I'd heard the saying, "After seeing Huangshan, no other mountain compares," and this time I finally experienced it for myself. In short, it was absolutely worth it! Although my legs were aching from the climb, all the fatigue vanished when I saw the scenery.
Let me start with the scenery everyone's most interested in—and I'm not exaggerating. The pine trees are truly amazing; they grow in the cracks of rocks, their branches twisted and gnarled yet incredibly vibrant.
Overall, the beauty of Huangshan is the kind of breathtaking beauty you have to see for yourself; photos can't fully capture it. Although climbing the steps was exhausting, seeing the sea of clouds at sunrise and the strangely shaped pines and rocks standing tall in the mountains made the trip truly worthwhile. Next time I go, I'd like to stay overnight to fully experience the mornings and evenings in the mountains.
You can just swipe your ID card, it's very convenient. The uphill section is quite flat with few steps to climb, but we encountered a lot of fog. However, the fog gave it a picturesque, landscape-like feel.

Place is quite nice. It is too crowded on Saturday. Best to come on a weekday. Not as big as I thought. Spent the whole afternoon.
If you come to Suzhou, you absolutely must visit the Humble Administrator's Garden. It's truly worth seeing the splendor of Ming and Qing dynasty architecture. The pavilions and terraces are interwoven, with small bridges, flowing water, and traditional houses. Every step reveals a new scene, a feast for the eyes. Crowds thronged the garden, eager to take photos. This trip to Suzhou was definitely worthwhile.

Worth a visit, but can be a bit confusing when you are not told which “pearl” you are at… but worth the visit and the view is good.
You can see the city lights pretty, enjoyed the glass bridge too. But a bit expensive for me cause the 360 view is too small . Overall is good

Early November at Songcheng was so much fun! The "Magic Night" event featured a multitude of handsome NPCs—so good-looking they were dazzling! They were also much more friendly and approachable than NPCs at typical amusement parks, without any airs of stardom. Songcheng truly lives up to its reputation as China's leading entertainment company.
Hangzhou is indeed a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery; there were handsome men everywhere, all around 185cm tall.
On the day of the event, Master Kumārajīva, also known as Li Guolin, was performing, happily interacting with visitors.
There were also formal performances, blending music, dance, and acrobatics to showcase Hangzhou's civilization and the beautiful lives of contemporary people.
The entire Songcheng experience was joyful and delightful, avoiding any preachy or didactic elements, and radiating warmth and friendliness.
It's a very worthwhile place to visit; both the shows and the attractions are unforgettable. We arrived too late, around 2 PM, and had to rush in to see some attractions just before closing time, so we didn't get to interact with all the NPCs. However, because it was late, we could see a unique night view. We'll definitely come back next time we have the chance.

A special thank you to Luo Yuan at the front desk! Her service throughout the trip was incredibly thoughtful, making our family's weekend getaway to Lingang exceptionally wonderful. 👍👍👍 Upon check-in, she proactively upgraded us to a room with a bathtub, allowing the kids to relax comfortably after playing in the snow without worrying about them catching a chill. She even added us on WeChat to book lunch, which was so convenient. The breakfast on the second day was also fantastic—freshly made noodles, wontons, and steamed buns were all delicious, and there were even local vegetarian toppings! A bowl of mushroom and gluten noodles for breakfast was 💯 and so satisfying. When we checked out, our child asked, "Can we come back again?" We were already reluctant to leave! The hotel service was excellent, the facilities were top-notch, and the experience was fantastic!
The kids had a blast at this place they'd been longing to visit! All the shows were fantastic, and since it wasn't peak season, it wasn't too crowded. The experience was amazing; I'm almost thinking of getting a half-year pass!
