    Although it was a bit late, I didn't see much of the intricacies of the gardens. I think we should have hired a guide. However, the design of these gardens is indeed ingenious. They must be very beautiful in late autumn and early spring.

    A highly recommended attraction, it offers a unique blend of classical Chinese gardens and Western decor. While strolling along the 1.5km covered walkway, visitors can also learn about the history of the He clan. This educational and entertaining three-dimensional garden is truly excellent.

    This is a very tranquil temple in the Jiangnan region, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with beautiful scenery. A few black swans and koi fish swim in the pond, adding a touch of wild charm. There's also Ouyang Xiu's Pingshan Hall, its interior simple and elegant, and the calligraphy works are of high artistic quality. In addition, there are iconic buildings such as the Jianzhen Monk Memorial Hall and Qiling Pagoda, personally designed by Liang Sicheng. Bamboo, wasabi, water lilies, osmanthus trees, pines, and other trees and shrubs stand in a harmonious and orderly fashion, with cats sitting or lying among them, adding to the lively atmosphere. In short, it's a very elegant temple, well worth a visit!

    Some interesting attractions were cancelled, as were the nighttime attractions; the park closes at 5 PM, and this wasn't mentioned when purchasing tickets. The rides are just so-so, typical of all theme parks, nothing special. I won't be coming back.

    The Chinese-style horror is indeed amazing, but it's more suitable for older children. It's not very friendly to children under 120cm, as there are many height restrictions, which is a bit of a shame. The park is very large, and there are many very friendly NPCs. I'll definitely come back when my child is older.

    Yuantouzhu is truly a fantastic place, and I highly recommend everyone visit! Last time I went with my family, we were immediately captivated by the scenery. The shimmering lake and the distant, rolling mountains combined to create a breathtakingly beautiful scene. We took a boat trip on Taihu Lake, enjoying the gentle breeze. Walking along the lakeside paths, the air was filled with fresh scents, making us feel incredibly relaxed. The island boasts many ancient buildings with a rich historical feel, and you can easily discover interesting things just by wandering around. There weren't many tourists, so it wasn't noisy, allowing us to quietly appreciate the scenery. We brought some snacks, found a shady spot under a tree, and chatted while eating—it was incredibly pleasant. I'll definitely tell my friends about this wonderful place, and I'd love to come back again sometime!

    Today I had a day trip to Nianhua Bay in Wuxi, a 5A-level scenic area, and I really enjoyed it. First of all, the scenery is beautiful; every step reveals a new view. Entering the park immediately evokes a poetic and picturesque atmosphere—truly a Zen-like town. Secondly, there are many simple interactive activities, such as reciting ancient poems, practicing Tai Chi, and copying scriptures. There are also many performances, with a list available on a mini-program, including Sichuan opera face-changing performances, Kunqu opera, musical fountains, and a tower-lighting ceremony. There are shows along the way. What impressed me most was the combination of iron flower fireworks, releasing sky lanterns, and an AI drone show. These three activities were perfectly integrated, offering both interactivity and visual appeal, while also being environmentally conscious (the sky lanterns are not disposable but recycled and reused). The entrance fee is a bit pricey at 150 yuan per person. I recommend staying inside the scenic area for multiple entries and to enjoy the evening shows later. Parking is very cheap at 15 yuan per visit. Nianhua Bay also offers an annual pass, but unfortunately, I live a bit far from the area; otherwise, I would have gotten one and visited more often.

    Zhongshan Scenic Area combines nature and culture. The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is solemn and ancient, with lifelike stone statues standing silently along the Sacred Way; the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is magnificent, and climbing to the top offers panoramic views of Nanjing. The Wutong Avenue stretches with lush greenery, and Linggu Temple is serene and tranquil. The misty rain of the Six Dynasties and the turbulent history of the Republic of China intertwine here, making it a must-visit scenic and cultural landscape in Nanjing.

    The bald cypress trees at Gate 3 are beautiful, and the scenery is breathtaking. The stone statue path feels like stepping into a history textbook. The scenic area is the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The area is very large, so plan your route according to your physical condition and proceed with caution.
