Appreciating Osmanthus at the Right Time: Manjuelong Hiking Route

Just these past few days, the scent of osmanthus has suddenly become rich. Liu Yong described Hangzhou in his writings as: 'Three autumns of osmanthus, ten miles of lotus flowers'. The best place to appreciate osmanthus in Hangzhou is naturally Manjuelong. Manjuelong is located in the southwest of West Lake, near Nine Creeks. This is a mountain trail, suitable for an afternoon hike, smelling the fragrance of osmanthus, appreciating the autumn scenery, best on cloudy days. 🌟Highlights: 1. Osmanthus Viewing Route In fact, there is a bus line 'Route 87 Osmanthus Viewing Route' that you can take along the way, but taking the bus is not as refreshing as walking.
