It has been a long time since I came back from Wuhan, but the trip to Wuhan still left a deep impression on me, especially the beautiful Yellow Crane Tower, and the garden at the entrance was particularly impressive. The tour guide's explanation level was a little poor, but it was also acceptable.
The trip to Wuhan was very impressive. I hadn't originally planned to enter the park, but a few friends decided to watch the night light show. It was really good. The show by the pool was great, especially the main show in front of the tower. We all watched it at the foot of the Yellow Crane Tower. It seemed like half an hour. It was very impressive. At night, the lower floors of the Yellow Crane Tower are closed, as are several areas of the park. I recommend buying a night tour ticket if you can.

I really like this fairy-like town. It is recommended to arrive around 4 pm so that you can see the Wangxian Valley during the day and at night. It is really beautiful.
The scenic area is quite large and can take two to three hours to explore. The night view is stunning, and the bonfire activities are unforgettable.
However, the 120 yuan entrance fee is a bit expensive, so I recommend getting a cheaper price.

Boiling tea around the fire brought warmth to the cold early winter, and the cable car alleviated fatigue. From day to night, there were various views and even a light show. The most beautiful thing was the autumn sun drying, with the bright red persimmon trees covering the entire hilltop.
In autumn, red peppers, yellow corn, and white chrysanthemums drying on rooftops stacked against the Hui-style horse-head walls create a striking image, whether taken from the air or through a window.
Spring offers seas of rapeseed blossoms, summer boasts lush terraced fields, and winter boasts ink-wash paintings of snowy villages – perfect for all seasons.
It's perfect for photography enthusiasts, Hanfu-wearing spectators, and couples on vacation.

The night boat cruise was fun!
You can enjoy the night view of both banks while sailing on the river. Even with the breeze, it was still quite hot.
That's right =oo= If you can't stand still, you can rest in the cabin. Recommended. It's okay.
I went on a business trip to Jiangxi. It was my first time there. I stayed near the Wanshou Palace and was able to walk to the Tengwang Pavilion. I went there during the day and at night. The scenery was very beautiful. Walking along the Ganjiang River and feeling the evening breeze made me feel so happy. I also checked in at the three giants of Nanchang milk tea. The Tengwang Pavilion is worthy of being one of the three great buildings in Jiangnan.

The scenic area boasts beautiful scenery, convenient transportation, and excellent elevator access. The Niu Shou Mountain Scenic Area is like a meticulously crafted work of art, showcasing ingenious design throughout. The most breathtaking sight is the five-story underground palace beneath the Buddha's Head Palace! The magnificent Thousand Buddha Hall and the exquisite stupa—every detail is breathtakingly beautiful! This is a truly unique visual spectacle you won't find anywhere else!
Niu Shou Mountain offers a full tour, either by hiking or taking a sightseeing bus. Niu Shou Mountain is a truly magical place, with a unique and ornate temple atop its summit. Unlike typical temple architecture, the complex has distinctly Western characteristics, and the buildings themselves are also vibrantly colored.

It's very convenient to buy attraction tickets on Ctrip; you can use them right away.
Lushan Mountain tickets are half price for students, and cable car tickets are the original price.
The cable car is fast and offers great views, but it's a bit pricey. The winding mountain route is cheaper, but I'm afraid of getting dizzy.
Climbing Mount Lushan reveals the true meaning of the saying, "Kuanglu is the most beautiful mountain in the world." Clouds and mist are the mountain's attire. In the early morning, ascending the stone steps, a milky white mist drifts across the valley, sometimes shrouding the peaks, leaving only a wisp of indigo visible; other times, it disperses with the wind, letting the roar of cascading waterfalls fill your ears.

Hongcun, located in Hongcun Town, Yi County, Anhui Province, is a national 5A scenic spot and a World Cultural Heritage site. Founded in the Southern Song Dynasty, the village covers 19.11 hectares and is shaped like an ox. Over 140 Ming and Qing dynasty dwellings remain, including scenic spots such as Yuezhao, Nanhu Lake, and Chengzhi Hall. Its Hui-style architecture blends harmoniously with the natural landscape, earning it the nickname "a village in a Chinese painting."
Finally arrived in Hongcun! It truly lives up to its reputation. As soon as I stepped off the bus, I was taken aback by the stunning reflection of Nanhu Lake. 😍 White walls, black tiles, arched bridges, and weeping willows—the lake reflects the entire village like a mirror. Any photo is a masterpiece, no filters needed!
The guide's explanation was incredibly fascinating. It turns out the entire village is shaped like an ox, with the Moon Pond as the "ox stomach" and the waterways as the "ox intestines." The ancient wisdom is truly remarkable! The bluestone paths wind around, and as you walk, you'll often encounter art students sketching. The atmosphere is truly captivating.
I had the internet-famous Mao tofu and osmanthus rice wine. The Mao tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it was absolutely amazing with the chili sauce! The rice wine was sweet and refreshing. The waitress was incredibly friendly and even taught us how to eat it the local way.
The only minor drawback: It's very crowded during holidays, so I recommend arriving early to avoid the tour groups. While there is some commercialization, the old buildings in the core area are well-preserved, and the villagers still live there. The harmony between the everyday life and the ink painting style is inexplicably harmonious.

Slender West Lake is truly picturesque, captivating and captivating, leaving one wanting to linger. Entering the scenic area is like stepping into a slowly unfolding ink painting of Jiangnan. Willows sway like smoke on both sides of the long causeway, dotted with pink and white peach blossoms. The gentle breeze rustles the willow branches, and petals flutter down—the scene is simply breathtaking. A boat ride slowly under the Five Pavilion Bridge, where the arch and its reflections form a perfect circle—every frame is perfect for a screensaver. The Twenty-Four Bridges are also truly unique. Walking across them, the poem "Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night" comes to mind. The white marble railings flow like a jade belt, and the bridge complements the surrounding lake and mountains beautifully. At night, when illuminated, it's even more breathtakingly beautiful. And then there's the White Pagoda, a distant echo of the Five Pavilion Bridge. Its pristine white tower stands out against the blue sky and clear water, like a graceful young woman quietly standing by the lake. Slender West Lake is not only beautiful in nature, but also rich in cultural heritage. Here, you can experience the elegance and taste of the ancients, as if traveling through time and space, and engaging in a dialogue with history. In short, Slender West Lake is a truly unforgettable travel experience, and I highly recommend it to everyone!
It is indeed quite long and narrow. Enter from the South Gate and get off the boat to the 24th Bridge, which is the West Gate. You can walk from Xu Garden to the Guest House. It took two hours on a rainy day. I asked for directions along the way and found the small gate. The ticket for four people, one adult and one child, is 200 yuan, and the boat ticket is 210 yuan. I suggest you get fish food from the hotel in advance, as the ducks are very easy to feed.

The scenery is breathtaking. Even Su Dongpo couldn't resist praising it with the words, "I have seen the beauty of all the Five Mountains, but the most stunning is at Sanqing."
There are three cable cars going up and down the mountain: Jinsha (near the Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain and the Oriental Goddess), Waishuangxi (near the One-Line Sky at Wanshou Garden), and Gangshou (opened in 2005, near Sanqing Palace, and convenient for descending the mountain, with a free shuttle bus to the Jinsha Cable Car Service Area).
We took the cable car up the mountain. At the entrance, there's a Mixue Ice City with very affordable prices. Lemon black tea is 8 yuan. After reaching the top, turn right from the cable car entrance to the small and medium loops. Turn left for the large loop, which is flat and free of climbing. I found the views at Giant Python Rock, Dragon Out of the Sea, and Goddess Peak all quite nice. The prices at the small mountain shop were reasonable, but the service was poor. They wouldn't even offer me some hot water when I asked for it. The scenic area could definitely use free water dispensers at popular tourist spots. I took the medium loop, which took five hours and was a joy to walk through.
