September is Duffy-themed month, and the Tron Lightcycle Power Run is also red. I always have a great time at Disneyland. This time, I bought a family package, which included admission for two adults and one child, plus three 40-yuan dining vouchers. It was a great value.
It was a pleasant experience. The consumption in the scenic area is a bit expensive, but the amusement projects and performances are very good. The route was planned reasonably and I played everything I planned for the whole day. It is a park that can be visited twice.

The cruise is available in both daytime and nighttime options, but I personally recommend the night tour, which offers a unique experience of Shanghai.
The night tour, held at Pier 2 of Shop 16, was a bit disorganized, but thankfully the scenery was stunning. Shanghai under the lights truly gave you a sense of the bustling international metropolis. Even though I've been there countless times, Shanghai still has that magic: you always see a different side of it.
The Bund, a symbol of Shanghai, is a must-visit for every tourist and Shanghainese.
The Bund's daytime scenery varies depending on the season. In spring and autumn, a gentle river breeze blows, offering breathtaking views of the bustling Pudong skyline. In summer, the scorching river breeze is a bit too much to handle, perfect for quick photo ops. In winter, the chilly river breeze can be accompanied by smog, making the four-piece experience vanish before your very eyes.
At night, the Bund is ablaze with lights, the majestic architecture of international architecture contrasting with the sleek skyscrapers of Pudong. The streets are instantly packed with people.
I wish everyone visiting Shanghai a pleasant trip!

Hangzhou West Lake is a world-famous tourist attraction and a 5A-level tourist attraction that is open to tourists free of charge nationwide. It not only has the legendary story of Xu Xian and White Snake, but also has the characteristics of the Jiangnan water town and many delicious foods. Welcome to Hangzhou West Lake.
Unique Natural Landscape: The West Lake Scenic Area features a "one lake, two embankments, and three islands" landscape. The Su Causeway and the Bai Causeway, along with three islands, divide the water into five sections, creating a classic "one pond, three mountains" landscape design. This is a classic example of Chinese landscape design, embodying the poetic beauty of lakes and mountains. West Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, while the emerald waters embrace it. The scenery changes with each season. In spring, peach blossoms, green willows, and cherry blossoms bloom; in summer, lotuses fill the lake, shaded by lush greenery; in autumn, sweet-scented osmanthus flowers waft through the air, and crimson leaves adorn the landscape. In winter, after snow, the lake and mountains resemble a watercolor painting, with the renowned "Broken Bridge in the Snow" becoming a scene. I took advantage of my holiday to check in 📍 and was not disappointed. First, I loved the environment, and second, the service was excellent. Overall, I was very satisfied.
- Rich Cultural Heritage: West Lake is a source of inspiration for traditional Chinese culture and poetry. Literati throughout the ages, such as Bai Juyi, Su Shi, and Yang Wanli, have left behind numerous poems. Folk myths and legends, such as those about Jigong, Xu Xian, and the White Snake, add to the lake's romantic charm.

After spending a long time looking at the weather forecast, we decided to hike Huangshan Mountain during a thunderstorm turning cloudy. Since we couldn't make it to Tiandu Peak, we hiked up from Ciguang Pavilion. It was foggy early in the morning, and the fog thickened as we climbed. Visibility was less than five meters, and we couldn't see the surrounding scenery. I was in a dreary mood for most of the day. The Welcoming Pine was packed with people, and even in such bad weather, many people were taking photos. We felt the crowds wouldn't be good for photos, so we didn't take any photos and continued on. We didn't feel the thrill at all when we reached Yixiantian (One Line Sky) because we couldn't see the surrounding scenery. Guangmingding (Bright Summit) was also shrouded in dark fog, and the wind was very strong. We decided to go back to the hotel and rest. After 3 p.m., as we passed Feilai Rock, a sudden gust of wind blew away the fog, revealing a ray of blue sky and white clouds. Our mood, which had been gloomy all day, suddenly brightened up, and we rushed to take photos and videos. Back at the Paiyunxing Hotel that evening, we were treated to a stunning sunset and sea of clouds, which was a bit of a relief for the day. The next day, we got up early to watch the sunrise at Danxia Peak. The rising golden sun illuminated our good mood for the whole day. After dinner, we set out for Xihai Grand Canyon to see the spectacular mountains and sea of clouds. We took the popular train from the bottom of the valley to Tianhai, and then to Guangmingding to make up for the regret of not seeing it yesterday. At Guangmingding, we saw Lianhua Peak in front of us, quietly shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland. After hiking further up the mountain to see the Monkey Sea, we decided to head down to the South Gate Transfer Center. Seeing a sign telling us to hike down, we headed straight for it. The further we went, the more deserted it became. It felt very desolate, and something suddenly felt off. Finally, we bumped into a few people who told us this was the way to Songgu Temple at the North Gate. Suddenly, we felt overwhelmed. Going back up would be arduous, with endless steps. So, we continued down together until we reached the North Gate Visitor Center. There was no one along the way, no signal, and very few signage. It would have been terrifying if we were just one or two people. It was past 5 p.m., and the Taiping Cableway had already stopped operating. There were no rides, and taxis were expensive. After picking up our luggage at the South Gate Transfer Center, we took another ride to Tunxi. It was already past 9 p.m., so we went straight to the hotel to sleep.
I sincerely advise everyone to find good weather before hiking, otherwise your ticket will be wasted and you won't see anything. Always pay attention to the signs before you go, otherwise one wrong move could lead to many more. I also strongly recommend that the Huangshan Scenic Area strengthen the signage along the North Gate hiking route, at least to provide visitors with clear directions.
The saying "You can't leave Huangshan without seeing more mountains" is well-deserved. Although I chose a less demanding route, taking the Yungu Cableway up and down the mountain, and while I didn't see the most iconic sights, I still enjoyed Huangshan's stunning scenery. The sea of clouds, the extraordinary peaks, the pine trees and rocks were a feast for the eyes.

It's my first time staying in this hotel. The environment is very new. The owner's service is very good, especially the shuttle bus. Thank you very much. He guided us on how to play. The view from the room is very beautiful. I will stay here again next time.
Huangling is the most beautiful village in China. It is located at the junction of Zhejiang and Jiangxi. If you drive by yourself, you need to get off the highway and then walk along a rural road to get there. There is free parking in the scenic area. The cable car to the scenic area is mandatory. The ticket plus the cable car is 140, which is a bit expensive. The scenery on the mountain is very good, but there seems to be no lights at night, and there was a rainstorm, which felt a bit dangerous.

This is a very exquisite garden, worthy of being the representative of Suzhou gardens. The scenic area is beautiful and unique, allowing people to appreciate the ingenuity of Chinese craftsmen. If you come to Suzhou, you must visit the Humble Administrator's Garden!
Teacher Li Qing's explanations were both entertaining and educational, drawing on classic texts and providing detailed and insightful explanations. His profound knowledge of poetry and history was evident in his three-hour in-depth tour of the Humble Administrator's Garden. We were deeply impressed by its cultural beauty, which transcended its superficial beauty. His poetic quotations, in particular, broadened the children's horizons and enabled them to apply their knowledge. We highly recommend that anyone bringing children to a garden with a professional guide like Teacher Li ensures a truly rewarding experience.

The experience was very good, my family was very happy, I will go again if I have the chance, the revolving restaurant is also very good, the ingredients are fresh, it is also very nice to take pictures, the iconic buildings are all photographed, there are not many people, not crowded, overall very good
Shanghai's iconic buildings, the Oriental Pearl Tower is a must-see when you come to Shanghai. Take a Huangpu River cruise to see the buildings on both sides of the Huangpu River. You can also see the three-piece set, which is a must-try experience.

We went around 3 p.m., and it was a bit overcast, with soft lighting, perfect for taking photos. The night view of Yuezhao is stunning at night, so if you have enough time, you can stay overnight to experience it all.
The Hongcun Aju performance was fantastic, telling the story of the resilience of Huizhou women. The live performance simulated rain and snow, so you'll need to wear a raincoat or use an umbrella to protect yourself if you're sitting in the front row. After the performance, you can take photos with the performers, and there are international performers, so it's worth seeing.
Hongcun isn't large, so two or three hours of photo-taking is fine. A more in-depth experience requires half a day to a full day. Go around 3 p.m. for softer lighting, perfect for photos. At night, the Moon Pond offers stunning views. If you have enough time, stay overnight to experience it all.
The Hongcun Aju Show is fantastic. The live performance simulates rain and snow, so front-row seats require a raincoat or umbrella for protection. After the show, you can take photos with the performers. It's well worth seeing.

The weather was bad when we went there. Heavy fog rose in the mountain just after we got out of the cable car. We couldn't see anything clearly. Then it started to rain heavily. Our shoes and socks were soaked. It was a miserable experience.
The sea of clouds is so beautiful. I'm not exaggerating. I just came from Lushan. Sanqingshan is absolutely stunning. Although it doesn't have many allusions and political stories, the scenery is really beautiful. The little squirrels and lovebirds are so cute. The sea of clouds, pines and cypresses, and the mountains are so beautiful that even a camera can't capture it. I was a special forces soldier and challenged the two-day tour route in one day. Jinsha up and Hongshou down. The free bus to Jinsha is about 7km for 2w, which is also perfect.

It is worth experiencing the unique scorpion poop on Foshan Island. I feel sad about the suffering in the world. I feel sad about how the compassionate Bodhisattva can accommodate so many wishes. As the saying goes, it is good to be here. It will get better and better.
It's worth coming. The sea and sky are one color, very beautiful. It's just too hot when I went there. The bus on the island is also convenient, but you often have to wait. I went there during the off-season. In addition to the cable car, there is no additional charge. If you buy a package ticket, there is nothing else to charge. However, the prices on the island are expensive. The water costs 8 to 15 yuan. In addition, it is very sunny, so you must wear sunscreen. You can hire a tour guide there to learn more.
