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.)
To visit Lingyin Temple, you must purchase a ticket for the Feilai Peak scenic area. However, there are no package deals available inside; even if you do get a package deal, you still have to wait for a tour guide. It's suggested that a package deal option be added, since Lingyin Temple is a must-see when visiting Hangzhou; it's unlikely someone would go to Feilai Peak without visiting Lingyin Temple.

The attraction was incredibly crowded, but luckily we arrived late and saw the massive, dark mass of people leaving. We perfectly missed the peak season. The bonfire party was definitely worth seeing; everyone had a great time.
Overall, it's a good place and a must-see attraction in Shangrao, especially for the beautiful night view. However, the ticket price is a bit high. There are plenty of food options within the scenic area, with snacks generally priced between 15-25 yuan. One commendable feature is the parking lot, which is surprisingly convenient.

The attraction is very small. I only spent less than two hours there with my 76-year-old mother. The autumn harvest drying platform is so small that it's only good for taking pictures. It's colorful, and the 145 yuan ticket price is really not worth it. One visit is enough.
The landscape is breathtakingly beautiful, like a painting, and Huangling has captivated hearts for millennia! There's a unique way of drying crops in autumn in Huangling, and a fairyland in Wuyuan. Amidst the ethereal atmosphere, the warmth of everyday life shines through, a testament to the bountiful harvest and peace of a prosperous China!

Strolling along the elevated walkway amidst uniquely shaped pines and rocks, one can't help but appreciate the wonders of humankind. Actually, I think there's no need for a timed itinerary; there are always surprises around the corners, and limiting yourself only makes you miss the beauty around you. A day is enough if you go up the mountain early.
The scenery is beautiful. I recommend planning your trip and buying tickets in advance. When you arrive at the scenic area entrance, you need to get a number for the cable car. We arrived at 9:30 and waited for more than half an hour before we could get on the cable car. There were so many people.

There are direct tourist buses from Shanghai to Putuoshan, departing from Nanpu Bridge and arriving at Zhujiajian Wharf in 4.5-5 hours. Surprisingly, the weather was still very hot on a November weekend, and the Putuoshan wharf was packed with people. The entire island was teeming with tourists; the off-season was anything but quiet. The South China Sea Guanyin statue was full of worshippers, and Fayu Temple was incredibly crowded. The bus from Fayu Temple to Puji Temple had a one-hour wait. Even after dark, Puji Temple was still teeming with tourists. I never imagined Putuoshan tourism would be so booming.
Putuoshan Scenic Area - Highly Recommended
The title "Buddhist Kingdom by the Sea" is truly well-deserved! Upon arrival, the sea breeze carries the scent of incense; the morning bells and evening drums of the three major Zen temples soothe the soul; the majestic Guanyin statue of the South China Sea inspires reverence. The soft, moss-covered sands of Qianbu Beach, ancient camphor trees providing shade, and the cliff carvings imbued with Zen wisdom—every step reveals a scenic view. The vegetarian cuisine is fragrant, the guesthouses tranquil, and the scenic area is well-ordered. Here, mountains and sea coexist, faith and poetry thrive; a visit here heals all restlessness and is worth returning to again and again!

◦ Spectacular and Stunning Performances: "Songcheng Eternal Love" is the core highlight of the scenic area, hailed as one of the "World's Three Great Shows." Its stage effects are explosive, utilizing lighting, sound, and dry ice special effects to deliver a powerful visual impact.

The scenery at Shenxianju is truly breathtaking. In the morning, it's shrouded in mist; at dusk, the avenue is bathed in rosy light; at midday, the sun shines brightly for miles; and at night, the stars illuminate the path. One can almost feel the immortals soaring through the clouds, or climb to the summit to see Guanyin. Nature's artistry is truly a paradise on earth.
Although it was raining when I went, Xianju had a unique charm in the rain, with swirling clouds and mist, giving it an ethereal feel. I stumbled upon a bayberry factory, ordered a milk tea, listened to the rain, and read a book – it was incredibly pleasant.

We took Line 1 to visit four islands and spent most of the day there. It was foggy in the morning, so the view of the Thousand Islands from Meifeng Mountain wasn't very clear. The weather cleared up around noon, and the scenery was exceptionally beautiful! The lake and sky blended seamlessly, with blue skies, white clouds, and a clear blue sky.
Only Huangshan Peak is worth visiting; the others can be skipped if you're short on time. Boarding the boat is done by swiping your ID card, while the cable car requires scanning a QR code. The scenic area is relatively quiet and less crowded; I didn't see any tour groups. The boats themselves are mediocre, and the toilets smelled terrible—not as good as the boats on the central lake.

Order tickets for any two scenic spots you choose: Qin Palace first, then Along the River During the Qingming Festival. The imperial landscape is absolutely breathtaking! Stepping into the Qin Dynasty is a truly magnificent experience; you'll immediately feel that the ticket price was well worth it!!
If you're a c-drama enthusiast this place will be your heaven!!! Every spot is literally a photo spot and the NPCs made the attractions even more fun!! Guangzhou street/ Hong Kong street and 清明上河图 has the most activities if you ask me. But I prob snapped the most photos at Qin Palace cos that's where bulk of the dramas are filmed at! The crowd at the attractions are def lesser (or maybe it's the season we went) compared to Shanghai Disneyland etc. the place is HUGE, so you won't feel it's overcrowded at any point.
