Hangzhou is a place worth visiting. It has a unique group of Jiangnan cliff carvings and Lingyin Temple, where the incense is burning and the voices of the people are lingering. It would be a pity not to visit Lingyin Feilai Peak when you come to Hangzhou!
The West Lake is picturesque and beautiful in all seasons. It is very pleasant to stroll on Sudi and boating on the lake. The attractions are concentrated and free, but the holiday crowds are crowded and some areas are more commercialized. The overall experience is good and worth savoring.

The place to go to Shanghai is the Bund except Pudong Lujiazui. After dinner in the evening, I walked through the pedestrian street and the Peace Hotel and came to the Bund. It is not clear what time the lights are on in other seasons. We came in June. The lights on the Bund at 7 pm here are up together. It is another scenery compared with the daytime. There are many people on the Bund, but the hygiene is still very clean. From the Bund to Lujiazui, it is even more beautiful. It is best to come to the Bund at night.
The Bund in Shanghai, a dazzling pearl nestled on the banks of the Huangpu River, stands as a vital witness to China's modern history.
Historically, since Shanghai's opening as a port in 1843, the Bund has served as a crucial base for Western powers in China, witnessing the dramatic changes of modern China over the past century. After China reclaimed the concession in 1945, the "international architecture" here took shape, reflecting the development and changes in China's modern politics, economy, society, and culture.
Architecturally, the Bund boasts 52 distinctly classical revivalist buildings, earning it the nickname "International Architecture." These buildings blend Western classicism, Renaissance art, decorative art, and eclecticism, representing the world's leading level of architectural design and construction technology at the time.

The hotel offers a wide variety of dining, drinking, entertainment, and shopping options. The food selection is extensive, including turkey legs, corn dogs, Mickey Mouse ice cream, and other specialties. The merchandise is diverse and adorably designed, making it irresistible to buy.
The lines were long, especially for popular attractions, which can last for longer than an hour or two, especially during holidays and peak tourist season. Even with a fast pass, you might still have to wait in line.
I bought the ticket last-minute, so it's not cheap.
Immersive: The park's overall design is exquisite, with the castle, streets, and buildings all imbued with a fairytale atmosphere. Background music and cartoon characters are everywhere, and the float parade and fireworks show further enhance the atmosphere, making you feel like you've been transported to a fairytale world.
- A wide variety of attractions: From the thrilling "Tron Lightcycle Power Run" to the family-friendly "Seven Dwarfs Mine Train," to the immersive "Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure" and "Soaring Over the Horizon," there's something for everyone, regardless of age or interest.
- Spectacular performances: Shows like "Frozen: A Celebration" and "Mickey Mouse Book of Wonders" feature dedicated and professional actors, with meticulous attention to detail from set design to plot design, providing visitors with a visual and auditory feast.
- Attentive and considerate service: The staff are friendly and helpful, proactively offering help and guidance. The park also provides amenities and services for people with special needs, such as wheelchair rentals and nursing rooms, making the experience even more convenient and comfortable.
- Diverse Dining and Shopping: The food selection is plentiful, with specialty items like turkey legs, corn dogs, and Mickey Mouse ice cream. The wide variety of merchandise, all designed with cute designs, is irresistible.
Disadvantages
- High Ticket Prices: Tickets are relatively expensive, especially during holidays and peak season, making them a significant expense for some families and tourists. Adjustments to annual pass discounts have also left some visitors dissatisfied.
- Long Queues: Popular attractions often require lengthy queues, especially during holidays and peak tourist season. Queues can sometimes exceed one to two hours, disrupting the overall experience. Even with a Fast Pass, you may still have to wait in line.

There's a saying: "After visiting the Five Great Mountains, you won't want to see any other mountains, and after visiting Huangshan, you won't want to see any other mountains." Huangshan's scenery is indeed beautiful, but it requires a good level of stamina. The only downside is the popular photo-taking spots. I suggest the scenic area organize staff to manage them properly to avoid too many people in the frame, which can somewhat imperfect the overall look.
Getting to the scenic area is quite convenient, with a direct bus from North Station, making it very accessible to outsiders!

The Humble Administrator's Garden is a masterpiece of classical gardens in Jiangnan, China, blending the beauty of nature with the spirit of humanity. Its exquisite design features waterscapes woven throughout, pavilions and towers arranged in a staggered pattern, and flowers and trees shading the gardens for a vibrant, seasonal spectacle. Through its "mountain forest within easy reach" layout and the use of "borrowed scenery," it creates a scene of ever-changing beauty and profound depth. The stained glass windows, the winding paths, and the garden's subtle and elegant aesthetic are reflected in every detail. Every name and inscription in the garden embodies the reclusive sentiments and philosophical reflections of ancient literati. After over four centuries of vicissitudes, the garden, with its refined brushwork, still depicts the ideal realm of "man-made, yet seemingly created by nature." It is a pinnacle of Eastern garden art, inviting one to linger in its timeless poetic beauty and philosophical ideal of harmony between man and nature.

The scenic area offers a variety of tour routes to choose from. There is an elevator at the west gate that goes directly to the core area of the Buddha's Head Palace, and a shuttle bus at the east gate can reach Tianque Station, which is convenient for tourists to choose according to their own situation and save energy.
Nanjing Niu Shou Mountain Cultural Tourism Area
I went there with my children and the elderly in my family that day. The sightseeing bus stop is on the left after entering the area, and it takes us halfway up the mountain. There are places to eat, drink, and relax. Then, we take the elevator and walk directly to the top. The architecture at the top is quite impressive. Inside, there's a reclining Guanyin Buddha and various other Buddha statues, all hand-carved, on five floors. After the tour, we checked out Niu Shou Mountain Cultural and Creative Ice Cream. My children and I walked the entire way, totaling over 20,000 steps. If you prefer not to walk, remember to bring a stroller.

I took my kids to visit, and they had a lot of fun. They especially liked the two balls below, and they didn't want to leave. However, the kids didn't like the space capsule on the top, so I thought it was a waste of money. However, the kids liked the two balls below.
The Oriental Pearl Tower is indeed worth a visit. It is really unnecessary to waste money on the top ball. I personally think it is really boring. I want to give a bad review for this boring ball, but the following two balls make me unable to do so.

Despite the light rain, the scenery was truly beautiful. I also saw the evening fish lantern parade and, while a spectator, became a participant, following the lanterns for a while. Later, the rain intensified and the event was canceled. During the day, I visited Nanhu Academy, Yuezhao, and the Wang Family Ancestral Hall. I also visited the two large trees at the village entrance and got a stamp at the post office. Commercial services were quite convenient, with plenty of restaurants, cultural and creative shops, photography shops, and art shops. However, there were some drawbacks. At night, I encountered an elderly woman selling blackberries. It was hard to see in the dark, so I washed them and tried them during the day. It was summer black, a bit of a letdown.

Songcheng Thousand Years of Love (Performance)
Saved by 1810 users21467 positive reviews
Verified User Reviews
The first time I saw "Songcheng Eternal Love," I was blown away! As a university student from Chongqing, I expected it to be just an average performance, but it completely exceeded my expectations. The stage effects were stunning, with water curtains and real-life props appearing one after another. Combined with the actors' superb performances, it instantly transported me back to Hangzhou a thousand years ago. From the Liangzhu civilization to the heyday of the Southern Song Dynasty, the plot was tight and engaging, and the scene where Yue Fei fought against the Jin Dynasty was truly thrilling. It was an excellent value, and I highly recommend it. This visual and auditory feast is absolutely worth the price!
Songcheng in Hangzhou is really worth a visit. The three world-famous shows, Eternal Love, incorporate the culture of Liangzhu, Song Palace Banquet and Dance, Golden Armor and Iron Horse, Legend of Xizi, and Charming Hangzhou, bringing us an audio-visual feast!!!
