I arrived at 15.30, which was a bit late as it closes at 17 BUT being there during sunset was MAGICAL! The site is vast, so be ready to walk with amazing views ⛰🌾✨ Entrance ticket 🎟: 60 RMB How to go: Take metro Line 2 to Liangzhu station, then take a taxi or bus. #zhejiang#liangzhu#hangzhou

There are seats to rest while queuing. The sightseeing bus will take all the tourists away before getting off work. If there are too many people, an empty bus will be arranged to pick them up. A pleasant day is over. Although the 5,000-year-old Liangzhu civilization did not leave any words, the traces of history will remain in people's hearts forever.

The weather is getting cooler, which is perfect for outdoor activities, so I quickly arranged a trip to Liangzhu Ancient City to see the deer. I had been wanting to go for a while, but it was too hot in the summer! Now the weather is just right. 🥰 🦌 The deer are in the Deer Park of Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins Park. You can walk in from the south gate or take a sightseeing bus. Families can also rent a small sightseeing bus for convenience, but you need a driver's license to rent one. You need to walk around the Deer Park, which takes about half an hour, but I probably stayed for more than half an hour. The deer are so cute and fun that I didn't want to leave. 🤣 There are more deer in the middle. There may be fewer deer when you first enter, so keep walking. Deer food is sold in the Deer Park, and there are keepers nearby to guide you on how to feed the deer and which one to feed (to prevent one from eating too much). The keepers are very friendly and will patiently answer visitors' questions and tell them stories about the deer. Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins Park is very large. In addition to the Deer Park, there are also archaeological sites. For a better experience, I suggest visiting the Liangzhu Museum first to learn about Liangzhu culture before heading to Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins Park. The Liangzhu Museum takes about an hour to visit, and the Liangzhu Culture Ruins Park depends on how you want to play. I suggest setting aside at least half a day to visit. 📍 Address: Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins Park, Hangzhou 🈺 Hours: 9:00–17:00 🎫 Tickets: CNY 60 per person.

I have been to Hangzhou countless times, but this is my first time to Liangzhu. Even if all four parking lots are full on weekend afternoons It took more than half an hour to find a parking space... but! It’s really worth it! The scenery is really beautiful Every step is like walking in an oil painting🖼️ Before coming here, I collected several locations in the scenic spot. 🌳Lonely tree 🛖thatched house 🌾miscanthus rice field... I found out after I went in A lonely tree is not lonely (although the one in the picture is indeed the most beautiful in the scenic spot) Thatched houses and fields can also be seen everywhere As long as you have the patience to search inside, you will find scenery everywhere If you are like us Just to enjoy the natural scenery and autumn scenery Then I suggest you don’t buy sightseeing tickets. I saw long queues at every station I passed. It's really a waste of time Here are some tips for everyone traveling on weekends⬇️ 🅿️There are three entrances to the scenic spot, and the south entrance is the most crowded, because the p1 and 2 parking lots are here, but there is no space at all on weekends! 🚗For self-driving, it is recommended to enter from the west entrance. There is a social parking lot nearby, but you need to walk a little. There are very few people entering this entrance, but this way you can miss the peak of the big group when you go out at night. 🌳The location of the lonely tree is behind the 📍Mojiao Mountain Observation Station. The west entrance is the closest. You can stop and take photos along the way and you'll be there. 🦌Luyuan will be cleared at 16:30! Remember to go early! This is my only regret this time. I arrived there at 16:40 and didn’t make it in time. 🌾The rice fields will begin to be harvested in early November, but it doesn’t matter! There are also large areas of miscanthus and wolf's tail grass in the scenic area, which are very beautiful, especially the light from the setting sun before evening is really stunning! 📍Liangzhu Ancient City Heritage Park 🎫60/person, Hangzhou locals🆓

Liangzhu Ancient City not only carries a rich historical and cultural heritage, but is also a habitat for many creatures. For over 5,000 years, the beautiful picture of Liangzhu's ancestors living in harmony with nature has continued to be written on this land. After the opening of Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins Park, a group of sika deer were introduced, and these deer were loved by tourists as soon as they "checked in", bringing vitality to this sacred land of civilization.

Such a beautiful day to walk around the Liangzhu Ancient Ruins. The scenery was breathtaking and even though the park was busy it was big enough to always find quieter areas. Perfect for a day out near Hangzhou with a picnic and suitable for individual, couple, or family trips. Would highly recommend going in spring and summer for the beautiful flower fields. #hangzhou #hangzhoutrip
