The main attraction of the boat trip to the island is the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. It's actually a very small island, and it's difficult to capture the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon in photos (perhaps due to technical issues). If you can afford to pay for a ticket, you can visit it and rent an electric car to tour around the lake.
Hangzhou's West Lake is renowned throughout the country. 1. Su Causeway in Spring: Like a green ribbon, Su Causeway stretches across West Lake. As spring arrives, the embankment bursts with vibrant red peach blossoms and tender green willow branches, creating a springtime scene painted by nature with the most delicate brushstrokes, evoking a sense of spring's vitality and hope.

It is still worth visiting Shangrao. Although there are many people during the summer vacation, it is good that the people are dispersed in the valley. When the lights are turned on at night, it really feels like being in a fairy tale, very fairy 👍🏻
This man-made attraction is overly commercialized, but with the added lighting, it's quite nice at night. It's a great place for photography! Most young people go there for the photos. However, since photo studios are busy during the summer, one photographer often handles many clients in a single night, resulting in a somewhat shoddy production. This is a downfall for Wangxian Valley. If improvements aren't made, it will damage its reputation. I recommend planning your visit around 4 or 5 pm to focus on the evening and night views. During the day, Wangxian Valley is very hot and scorching, making it difficult to enjoy the scenery. A visit should only take three to five hours, as many activities take place at night. I also recommend staying in the small town outside the scenic area, which is quite convenient. Personally, I recommend avoiding accommodation on the mountain within the scenic area. It's so dark up there that it almost feels like the abode of the gods, so mortals should avoid it.

There were a lot of people, but the cable car management was rather chaotic, which felt unsafe. Everyone was scrambling for a seat, and I felt like I might get squeezed out later. I recommend adjusting the route in an orderly manner.
The attraction is quite interesting, not too large, and two hours seemed sufficient. The scenery is beautiful, and the autumn atmosphere is in full swing, with a bountiful harvest and a peaceful and prosperous country.
It is a very beautiful scenic area, an ancient village, located on the top of a mountain. You can take a cable car to get there and enjoy the scenery of autumn sun drying. There are performances at night, with bright lights and crowds of people. The Water Street and the Sky Street are very distinctive and worth visiting.

Buying on Ctrip also gives you 30 yuan off your points, making it a great value. If you forget to pick up your incense at the Jixiang incense dock, you can pick it up after you arrive on the island. The business speedboat waiting area is clean and tidy. The boat cabin is also very comfortable. I barely finished the complimentary snacks before we reached the shore. Putuoshan is a great place to stay overnight. After dinner, go to Baibusha Beach for some water activities. The next morning, I went to burn incense early, and there weren't many people around.
Mount Putuo is a bustling destination, and a full day of worshipping Buddha is packed. Staying in Shenjiamen, I parked my car at the ferry terminal early in the morning, boarded a boat to the island, and made my way to the mountain, worshipping Buddha and stopping along the way. It was both spiritually tranquil and physically fulfilling. Returning to shore in the evening, the gentle sea breeze felt like a perfect day.

I recommend the Jinsha Cableway for a round trip. It is within a small circle of the highlights, including the Giant Python and the Oriental Goddess. The cableway starts at 7:30 in the summer, and you can feel the cool breeze on the way up the mountain. The entire small circle can be completed in 3 hours.
Sanqing Mountain is really worth visiting. The scenery is beautiful. When the weather is good, the view is great. The rocks on the mountain are also in various shapes. I would recommend going there. It’s just that the queues for getting on and off the cable car are a bit long. It takes almost 2 hours to queue up to go down the mountain. It is recommended to park with your ticket to get some fee reduction, so that the experience will be better!

Family, this trip to Songcheng in Hangzhou was so worth it! The "Songcheng Eternal Love" performance was so moving, bringing the stories of Hangzhou from ancient times to the present day to life like a vivid history book. The children were mesmerized, and the elderly praised it highly. There are also many folk performances in the scenic area, and it was a lively and enjoyable experience for the whole family! It was truly an unforgettable memory!
Who in my family understands? A trip to Songcheng is a steal! The time-travel flash mob was incredibly fun, where you could instantly travel back in time in Hanfu costumes and interact with NPCs with banknotes, giving you an immersive experience of ancient life. The stage performances were breathtaking, the light dances were stunning, and the Water Dragon Festival-themed performances were a blast. My bestie and I were absolutely blown away. We'll definitely be back next time! We loved it!

These two days coincided with the summer vacation and the National Labor Skills and Artificial Intelligence Competition, so there were a lot of tourists and the scenic area was crowded. There was not even a place to sit, and it took an hour or two to wait for the bus or boat. Apart from that, the scenery was still good, with the flavor of the small bridges, flowing water and people's homes in the south of the Yangtze River.
The idea of "one step, one view" is fully reflected here. It is very beautiful. An entertainment area for summer vacation and water play has been added. However, there are too many people during the summer vacation and they just keep their heads down and hurry on without stopping for too long. The overall service is better than before and the notices are clear so you don't get lost.

Although it's not large, it's truly comfortable. The beautiful hostess came out to greet me before I even entered. She was incredibly welcoming. While I was waiting to check in, the host enthusiastically poured me some tea. The kids even played Go and checkers in the lobby. When I booked the room, they didn't have enough rooms, so one required a staircase up. Upon arrival, the hostess said another room was available and upgraded me for free! There was also complimentary fruit tea in the room. While it's not in the county center, it's very close to Wunuzhou Island and Xiangao Ancient Town. The hostess also recommended nearby restaurants. It was a truly enjoyable stay!
I've always been fascinated by Wunu Island, and I found it truly lives up to its reputation. The entire scenic area is truly beautiful when the lights are on at night, with all sorts of intangible cultural heritage performances, such as playing with fire pots and making iron flowers with fireworks all over the sky. The 100-drone show around 9:20 pm is truly spectacular and worth every ticket price.

Shenxianju is truly one of Taizhou's must-see attractions. Surrounded by beautiful green mountains, the scenery is truly delightful. The trail is also very clean, and the sanitation workers are very helpful. The mountain's best feature is that the climb isn't very long; escalators and cable cars save a lot of effort. Starting early in the morning, you can explore all the attractions in a single day. The prices are quite reasonable for a scenic area, with no exorbitant markups, which was quite satisfactory. If you want to explore the entire mountain, I recommend not driving. You can take a bus from the South Gate and continue your journey all the way to the North Gate before returning by bus. The bus is also quite affordable at 5 yuan per trip, which is very economical.
There is a cable car, 120 yuan per person for up and down, and an escalator, painless up the mountain, and there is also a King Tea Princess at the top of the mountain, with a sign at the door saying "Even gods need milk tea." We went too late and missed the best time to take pictures, but overall it was okay.

Pingtan Island

It is worth going. Pingtan highlights: the island scenery is beautiful, the blue tears are wonderful and dreamy, the road around the island is comfortable, the stone ancient village is unique, and the seafood is delicious. There are also wind power fields, elephant nose bay and other net red punch points, which is a good place for leisure and vacation.
The beauty of Pingtan Island is a rhapsody unleashed by the Creator. Stretching along 408 kilometers of coastline, the basalt canyons of Xianrenjing (Fairy Well) appear to have been carved by a giant axe. At low tide, stepping into the 47-meter-deep well, waves crashing against the black reef stir up thousands of snowdrifts. The slanting morning light feels like stepping into the secret realms of Iceland. Sunsets at Changjiangao are a visual wonder: a 3,000-acre array of windmills is reflected on the mirror-like beach. When the tide recedes, pink-blue shells scatter like stardust. At night, "blue tears" sparkle with the waves, like diamonds scattered on deep blue silk. Even more remarkable is the preservation of the character of a pristine fishing island. The clifftop road of the northern ecological corridor connects the colorful stone houses of Baisheng Village. Fishermen's nets hanging out to dry tremble in the wind, and the salty sea breeze carries an untamed wildness.
For nine years, Pingtan has strived to balance development and conservation, anchored by an international style and youthful fashion. Smart tourism systems are already bearing fruit: Longwangtou Beach features real-time visitor flow monitoring, automatic flushing pools, and smart public toilets, significantly enhancing the visitor experience. The integration of culture and tourism is also a highlight: the Keqiutou Site Museum condenses 7,000 years of Austronesian civilization into an immersive exhibition; the "Planet Calling" Seaview Theater in Tannan Bay uses light and shadow to recreate the spectacle of the Blue Tears, bringing culture from the academic realm to the masses. However, over-commercialization is encroaching on some corners: the ancient architectural complex of Haitan Ancient City has been reduced to a cookie-cutter Yiwu small commodity market, and the throngs of people jostling for photo spots at the "Eye of the Strait" observation deck on Houyan Island often leave travelers feeling a sense of loss.
Pingtan's ambitions extend beyond being a popular online destination. Events such as the International Kiteboarding Festival and the F4 Racing Carnival ignite excitement along the coast. Sailing activities at Pier 22 allow visitors to transition from simply "watching the sea" to "playing in it," signaling its progress toward becoming a full-time vacation destination. However, shortcomings remain: the public transportation network is weak, and the infrequent island-wide bus service forces tourists to rely on expensive chartered vehicles. Some homestays advertised as "sea view rooms" are actually located in remote villages, making the bumpy dirt roads a heart-wrenching journey home late at night. By strengthening ecological protection (for example, limiting commercial development along the northern corridor) and cultivating its unique cultural heritage (for example, reviving the intangible cultural heritage of rattan shield exercises), this "island closest to Taiwan" can truly become the Hawaii of the East.
Pingtan is a gem sculpted by sea and wind—it boasts some of China's finest coastal scenery and stunning starry nights, yet it continues to vacillate between extensive development and sophisticated operations. If restrained craftsmanship replaces the short-sighted pursuit of traffic, it will surely shine as the brightest pearl of the Strait.
