West Lake is surrounded by mountains on its north, west, and south sides, with the city center to the east. Its shape is roughly elliptical. The Bai Causeway and Su Causeway divide the lake into five parts: Outer Lake, Inner Lake, Yue Lake, West Inner Lake, and Little South Lake. Four islands—Gushan Island, Xiaoyingzhou Island, Huxin Pavilion, and Ruangongdun Island—are located within the lake. In 2011, the "Hangzhou West Lake Cultural Landscape" was inscribed on the World Heritage List. West Lake, located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, had a total area of 60.04 square kilometers as of March 2023. It extends from Songmuchang and Baolu in the east, turning north to the Children's Palace Square in Hangzhou city; south from Gulou along the foothills of Wushan, Ziyangshan, and the eastern side of Yunju Mountain; west from Liufangling, Zhuganshan, Jiuquling, and Mingrenling to Meirenfeng; and north from the foothills of Laoheshan Mountain, turning 30 meters north of Qingzhiwu Road. West Lake was formerly known as Wulin Water, Qiantang Lake, Mingsheng Lake, and Jinniu Lake, among other names.
Visiting West Lake is quite economical and convenient. It's a great weekend getaway for the kids. After enjoying the lake, there are plenty of places to eat nearby (like crab roe noodles), so you can have a good time and head home without affecting your plans or work the next day. (If you have enough time, there are also many other attractions nearby, and you can usually find them all on a map.)

Mountain is very beautiful I think I will come back again the wheel is so unseen. It become one of my favorite mountain the hiking is not difficult and children can also go.
"Having seen Huangshan, one need not see other mountains," the saying truly lives up to its reputation. A magnificent ink painting scroll covered in Huangshan pines! We took the cable car up and down the mountain, and the small train up the West Sea Grand Canyon. We didn't visit Tian Du Peak. A 10-hour day trip wasn't tiring at all!

Although it's an artificial landscape, the buildings were still quite impressive when I entered the scenic area after the lights were turned on. The food street had a wide variety of choices at reasonable prices, and the bonfire party was quite lively.
This newly developed attraction after the pandemic boasts scenery (mountain views + waterfalls) comparable to Wuxie in Zhuji. The aerial pavilions are already magnificent during the day, but even more enchanting when illuminated at night. The commercial street is of moderate size and offers many live performances and NPC interactions. Overall, it exceeded expectations.

It seems you have to take the cable car to reach Huangling Village. Because it receives a large number of tourists every day, the system is quite orderly. During the autumn harvest season (excluding holidays), you can definitely get on the cable car within an hour. However, the autumn harvest scene is so easily replicated that one visit is enough.
The scenery is beautiful, and the classic attractions are well-designed. You can take cable car A up and cable car B down. Cable car B offers views of the mountains and terraced fields, and there's also a glass bridge.
Cable car A leads to the middle section, which contains all the scenic spots and photo opportunities. It gets very crowded, so be prepared to queue. There are also restaurants on the mountain: KFC, dessert shops, coffee shops, and souvenir shops. It's worth a visit. The street near cable car B also has a mother and baby rest area.

The Humble Administrator's Garden, a symbol of Suzhou, offers different scenery in each season. It is the foremost of the four famous gardens in China and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Construction began in the Ming Dynasty by Wang Xianchen and was designed by Wen Zhengming. Water is the garden's central element, with pavilions and towers arranged in a harmonious and picturesque manner. In spring and summer, lotus flowers sway in the breeze; in autumn and winter, withered lotus leaves sway in the rain. Every step reveals a new scene, showcasing the exquisite elegance and profound cultural heritage of Jiangnan gardens. Personally, I love summer when the garden is full of lotus blossoms. However, once a tourist attraction becomes too famous, the crowds become enormous. The idyllic scene described by Wen Zhengming—"How pitiful that there are no carriages or horses in this human realm, truly a place where mountains and forests exist within the city"—is something that ordinary tourists today cannot experience.
The Humble Administrator's Garden is the number one private garden in Suzhou. It is divided into three parts: east, central, and west. The eastern part is known for its pastoral scenery, the central part for its ponds, islands, and rockeries, and the western part for its elegant Qing Dynasty architecture. The scenery is beautiful, the architecture is exquisite, and the layout is ingenious!

Overall, it was a good place. The ancient architectural complex was very well-preserved, and the history of southern Anhui can be seen here. Moon Pond and South Lake were exceptionally tranquil and beautiful at night, contrasting beautifully with the bustling crowds. Commercialization was acceptable, but it seems the scenic area should be regulated. I stayed one night and experienced the fish and dragon parade; it was a nice place.
Visiting only Hongcun Scenic Area isn't worth the price. If you're staying nearby for a day or two, I recommend going to Lucun Viewing Platform to watch the sunrise and Qishu Lake to see the morning mist. Both places are free and have beautiful scenery.

The most classic saying about Sanqing Mountain is, "Among the Five Sacred Mountains, the most breathtaking scenery is at Sanqing Mountain." This assessment, rooted in historical praise, succinctly summarizes Sanqing Mountain's unique status as both a natural wonder and a sacred site of Taoism.
The Gangshou Cableway to Sanqing Palace is mostly a slope, with only a short uphill section of steps at the end. However, to reach Sunshine Coast and Jinsha Cableway to see attractions like the Giant Cod Emerging from the Mountain, you'll need some stamina, as there are quite a few steps to climb. Although the Jinsha Cableway was crowded that day, and halfway through Sunshine Coast was a turn-off, preventing us from reaching the Giant Cod Emerging from the Mountain, the scenery along the Gangshou route was still very beautiful.

Songcheng Thousand Years of Love (Performance)
Saved by 2225 users23120 positive reviews
Verified user reviews
My first time seeing "Eternal Love" at Hangzhou Songcheng was truly breathtaking. The entire performance, from the lighting and stage machinery to the actors' skills, exceeded my expectations. The immersive effect, especially the large-scale scene changes and simultaneous performances from all sides, was so captivating that you were completely drawn in before you could even react. The story was fast-paced, with strong emotional fluctuations and a powerful visual impact. The actors' performances were incredibly dedicated, with every detail meticulously crafted. After watching it, I truly felt that "a trip to Hangzhou without seeing 'Eternal Love' would be a regret." Highly recommended, definitely worth a special trip.
Songcheng is a must-visit cultural and tourism destination in Hangzhou. With Song Dynasty culture as its theme, the ancient buildings recreate the daily life of the city. Hundreds of performances cover a variety of experiences, including song and dance, live-action dramas, and haunted houses. The main show, "Songcheng Eternal Love", presents a stunning presentation of Hangzhou's thousand-year history. It is a feast for the eyes and the soul, suitable for the whole family and can be enjoyed in any weather. A day that takes you through a thousand years is well worth the ticket price!

Huatai Scenic Area is a purely tourist route; there are no temples for worship. You don't need to buy a general admission ticket for Jiuhua Mountain Scenic Area, but you must buy a cable car ticket. Transfer to the scenic area bus; the mountain road takes about 10 minutes. Walk 100 meters to reach the cable car entrance.
I'd longed to visit Jiuhua Mountain for 40 years. I previously thought it was a famous Taoist mountain. Only after visiting did I realize it's also a famous Buddhist mountain, with several halls housing mummified corpses, well worth visiting. First, I took a scenic bus up the mountain; the journey was long, and the mountain was very high. Then I took a cable car to Baishui Palace. The incense was very strong, and there was a hall with 500 Arhats at the top. After descending the mountain, I arrived at Jiuhua Town, which was very lively.

The scenic area is quite unique, featuring the Imperial Kiln Ruins, Dragon Pearl Pavilion, and the Imperial Kiln Museum, all of which are great for taking photos. It's also very popular with tourists. However, the entrance fee is a bit expensive. Overall, it's a good experience and worth recommending.
Taoyangli Tourist Area is definitely worth a visit. The water is clear and beautiful, and it's not too crowded, making it a great place for a relaxing vacation. Hotel prices are very reasonable. Prices for food and other goods are also very affordable, making it a hidden gem.
