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 management process of the scenic area is standardized and orderly, and each link is well connected. The natural environment of the scenic spot is breathtakingly beautiful, and every step is a scene that makes people linger. The incense is even more prosperous! It is the most beautiful tourist attraction
It is very convenient to buy tickets. There is a self-service ticket machine when you get off the boat. You can buy tickets separately and then swipe your ID card to go through the gate. I come to Putuo Mountain every year. It is recommended to hire a regular tour guide to take you to worship, walk around, and tell you the stories. It is also recommended to experience the morning class of Puji Temple, but go there in advance and don't sit on the kneeling bench and don't face the Buddha with your buttocks.

The scenery is beautiful, and there are many stone carvings. However, the exit sign is only at the ticket gate; there are no signs within the scenic area. While the main road is fine for a quick look at Feilai Peak, those with a weak sense of direction might not find the exit if they explore more carefully. Also, taxis are difficult to get, requiring a shuttle or bus transfer. Also, in summer and autumn, the area is densely covered with vegetation, making mosquitoes common, so be mindful of mosquito repellent. There are paid guided tours at the entrance, either live or electronic, which you can purchase. Alternatively, scan the QR code on each Buddha statue or stone carving for a free guide.
1. Climbing Feilai Peak is so worth it! The stone steps are lined with thousand-year-old Buddha statues hidden in the shade of trees, and greenery is still emerging from the cracks in the rocks. The sound of the Lingyin bell drifts in from afar, and the Zen atmosphere is completely filled.

I've been to Wuzhen about three or four times, and every time I go, I have a different feeling. This time I went alone and it was early, so there weren't many people around. I took a leisurely stroll and it was quite pleasant.
Wuzhen's East and West Districts offer distinct yet complementary styles. Like a thread-bound book bound in raw rice paper, East District preserves the pristine character of the Ming and Qing dynasties, where residents continue their daily lives. Attractions include Mao Dun's former residence and the Blue Print Workshop. West District, like a poet of the night, overturns the Milky Way. When illuminated by thousands of lanterns, the waterways transform into a flowing galaxy. Cultural venues like the Mu Xin Art Museum and Zhaoming Academy offer a fascinating symbiosis of traditional culture and contemporary art. East District evokes the pristine tranquility of the past, while West District embraces the refined romance of the present.

One of the easiest mountains I've climbed so far. From the South Gate cable car, you'll see the mountain elevator, and then you can basically just walk down the mountain.
🎡Lazy Route: (Up from the south, down from the north; there's no elevator at the North Gate)
1⃣️ Take the South Gate cable car up (an eight-person cabin with seats)
2⃣️ Don't get on the elevator yet; turn right and check out the Buddha Shadow Lotus (queue for photos, one minute per person)
3⃣️ Take the lazy elevator for a painless climb
4⃣️ If you're not afraid of heights, check out the South Sky Summit
5⃣️ Have a cup of Bawang Chaji (the milk tea shop at the top of the mountain is a must-see)
6⃣️ Walk along the mountain road toward the North Gate (mostly downhill, not tiring, and you'll pass various bridges and beautiful views)
7⃣️ Check out the Ruyi Bridge (drone available for aerial photography)
8⃣️ Take the North Gate cable car down (a large one with standing passengers)
My first time hiking in Taizhou, I stayed at the south gate of the Shenxianju Scenic Area. To get to the scenic area, you need to take a shuttle bus, which is not far and costs 5 yuan. Once inside, you can take the cable car up and down, with escalators in between, which is relatively easy. The scenic area has pleasant scenery, various bridges, and a glass plank road. However, the cost is quite high. The entrance fee, the cable car up and down, the South Zenith, and the shuttle bus cost about 360 yuan per person.

Qiandao Lake in Chun'an County, Hangzhou, is an artificial lake formed by a hydroelectric power station. It boasts 1,078 islands and boasts water quality that meets national first-class standards, earning it the title of "the most beautiful water in the world." Here, visitors can enjoy boat tours of the lake and islands, cycle along the over 150-kilometer greenway, try water activities like motorboats, and savor delicious Qiandao Lake fish head soup.
Qiandao Lake is perfect for vacationers looking to relax and enjoy the natural beauty. You'll get a better experience by thinking of it as a large, natural "resort" rather than a destination where you need to check in on every attraction.

The scenery of Lingfeng and Lingyan is first-class. If you have time, you can visit the Zhenji Temple in Lingfeng. It is in Japanese style and is about 1.5 kilometers away from Guanyin Cave. It is all flat road and easy to walk. The scenery of Dalongqiu after rain is also good. I also saw a double rainbow when I went there. It is more convenient to go to Fangdong and Lingyan together. Generally, you enter Fangdong and exit Lingyan. Otherwise, you need to go to Lingyan alone for many steps. The scenery of Sanzhe Waterfall is average and it is not worth going there specifically. The water volume is very small. The night view of Lingfeng mainly depends on the shape of the mountain. If you don’t have a combined ticket, there is no need to go, and there are not many things to see.
The mountain scenery is beautiful and the air is fresh. The shuttle bus is user-friendly and easy to get in and out. The ticket seller at the window was very patient. He first refunded my ticket and then reissued it (I bought the wrong ticket for personal reasons). 😂 I recommend visiting Fangdong first and then Longyan. Although going down the mountain is also tiring, I prefer the former to the latter. This is purely personal opinion for reference only.

Yuehu Park is an open central park in Ningbo. Although there are endless traffic on the roads on all sides, the park is very quiet and peaceful. It has a garden with ethnic characteristics. The pavilions and bridges are traditional Chinese forms, and several ancient buildings are preserved.
There are many attractions worth seeing in the scenic area, including Tianyi Pavilion itself, Mingzhou Stele Forest, Qin's Branch Temple, and the Exhibition Hall of the Origin of Mahjong. Tianyi Pavilion is very special in terms of fire prevention, ventilation, and moisture prevention. For example, there is a firewall between it and Fan's residence. There is a "Tianyi Pool" in front of the building, which draws water into the pool and stores water to prevent fire.
Yuehu Scenic Area also often holds activities. For example, the Lantern Festival this year was held, which was held again in 20 years. This year, a large lawn of 3,000 square meters was opened for the first time during the May Day holiday to hold the "May Day Fun Yuehu, Market Fun" event. The night view of the scenic area is also beautiful. The warm lights outline the soft lakeshore, and the pavilions, bridges and terraces are beautiful and stunning under the lights.
Tianyi Pavilion is one of the four largest book collection buildings in China. It is a Chinese garden building, and every design reflects the wisdom of the ancients. I entered the park just in time for the free explanation of the volunteers, which gave me a better understanding of Tianyi Pavilion. I am very grateful to the volunteers for providing free explanation services to tourists on such a hot day, which greatly enhanced the experience of visiting the park.
