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.

The Yaduo Hotel's travel consultant provided a detailed guide to all the Huangshan hiking routes. Based on my fitness level, they designed a classic route that ascended south and descended from Yungu to Yuping Mountain. It was perfect for a hiking novice like me. I immediately booked it on Ctrip.
8:40 to the transfer center
900 to get off the electric car
9:35 to get off the Yungu cable car
12:30 to Guangmingding Peak
14:10 to the Welcoming Pine
14:35 to the Yuping cable car
14:50 to get on the electric car
A perfect trip to the Huangshan Scenic Area.
It was my first time climbing Huangshan, and I was able to capture the sea of clouds. The service at Huangshan isn't great, and things to do there are expensive. The main thing is to enjoy the scenery and experience nature!
We took the cable car up and down, and the train, but it wasn't worth it. Overall, the scenery was great, but the value wasn't great.

It's a bit late to go there after 4pm. If you go around 3pm, you can see the scenery during the day and at night, and the unique houses on the mountain wall. Enter from the left and then see a road with fewer stairs. If you turn around, you won't be too tired. There is a temple on the snack street. There is a road next to it that goes up in the opposite direction. There are no stairs. You need to go down to a turning point to reach the glass plank road. You should go there earlier when you go in. It might feel more unique. When we arrived, the lights were on, so it was a pity that the view down was not very clear, but it was not scary. In short, there are roads on both sides. You can choose the stairs. Take the one that looks less. Alternating between left and right will not make you tired. The snack street above was beyond my expectation. Although it is a bit expensive, there are really many kinds of things. I think it is worth a visit and there are performances.
Wangxian Valley is not very good during the day, but the scenery at night is still good and very suitable for taking pictures. There are also many performances inside that you can watch. The only drawback is that there are too many people.

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.

Yuzhang, the old prefecture, Hongdu, the new capital. Stars divide Yi and Zhen, the land connects Heng and Lu. It embraces three rivers and embraces five lakes, controls the barbarians of Jing and draws in the Ou and Yue peoples. Natural resources abound, and the dragon's light shines upon the ruins of Niu and Dou. The land is blessed with outstanding people, and Xu Ru slept on Chen Fan's couch. A majestic state shrouds in mist, and brilliant minds dart like stars.
The light show at night is beautiful, but it's too hot during the day, so I recommend going at night. The actors are very professional, and there are interactive games. The cruise is also very good, with beautiful river views.

It is a Buddhist cultural attraction that is worth visiting. The parking lot at the east gate is huge. After entering, scan the code to buy the scenic area bus for 10/person. It takes a few minutes to reach the bottom of the Buddha's Head Pagoda. There are escalators all the way up, so you won't feel tired at all. There is a reclining Buddha of Sakyamuni on the first floor. Take the escalator directly to the underground to visit the relic pagoda. The decoration of the entire hall surrounded by Buddhas is shocking. Then go up layer by layer to visit and have a deep understanding of Buddhist culture. After exiting the underground palace, climb the Buddha's Head Pagoda and you can see the panoramic view of the entire Niu Shou Mountain.
Niu Shou Mountain is a scenic spot worth visiting. Its natural scenery and cultural landscape have unique charm, but the scenic spot still needs further improvement and perfection in ticket prices, supporting facilities and personnel management to enhance the overall experience of tourists.

As a Nanchang native, I consider Lushan to be Nanchang's "back garden." I visit it every spring, summer, autumn, and winter to experience its unique beauty. There's the azaleas and peach blossoms of spring, Ruqin Lake and Lulin Bridge in summer, the maple leaves of Lushan Botanical Garden and the ginkgo trees of Sanbaoshu in autumn, Guling Street and Hanpokou in winter, and the sea of clouds at Wulao Peak and the waterfalls of Sandiequan.
Lushan is the back garden of my husband and me. We have been there many times. I like its history and culture. I particularly like every poem about Lushan. Lushan has a unique charm because of its history. The uniqueness of Lushan also lies in its unpredictable clouds and mists at every moment. Lushan is a summer resort in the summer. It is really cool and it is amazing what a gift nature has bestowed on Lushan.

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.

Sanqingshan has beautiful scenery and a strong Taoist culture. The most important thing is that it is not tiring to climb, and it is suitable for all ages. The easiest way to climb here is to go up from the Gangshou Cableway and down from the Jinsha Cableway. If you go the other way around, it will be quite tiring.
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.

I really recommend this scenic spot. The Songcheng Eternal Love performance combines the history and culture of Hangzhou during the Southern Song Dynasty. The live performance is wonderful and shocking. Next time I go to other cities, I will also experience other Eternal Love performances.
I didn’t get to see the street performance maybe due to normal days, there’s no crowds.  performance of the entire love of great. As due to not a pit season, it took me less than two hours to finish all.
