    • Positive Reviews: Some tourists found the West Lake boat tour experience enjoyable, praising the large and stable boats, the clear explanations of the routes provided by staff, and the quick and efficient boat connections. Others found the on-site QR code ticket purchase convenient and fast, with various discounts readily available based on the ticket purchaser's ID information. • Negative Reviews: Some tourists pointed out the lack of price transparency for the West Lake boat tours, such as shorter advertised rowboat routes and hidden charges for self-rowed boats. Furthermore, the route selection was unsatisfactory, with long queues for island tours and limited views of attractions only on distant shores during the lake tour. Other complaints included inattentive boatman explanations and moldy life jackets.

    Yesterday's performance at Hangzhou Songcheng was fantastic. I had been to Shanghai's "Eternal Love" a few years ago, but I didn't go to Guilin's "Eternal Love" because it's located in Yangshuo (since I was staying near Guilin Railway Station), which is quite far. It's a real pity. I hope I'll have the opportunity to see all the "Eternal Love" shows in different regions in the future.

    The Buddhist statues are enormous; although I'm not a Buddhist, I was quite awestruck when I first saw them. The temple environment is quite beautiful, but it gets a bit noisy due to the large number of worshippers.

    Hangzhou Xixi National Wetland Park is divided into paid and free sections, which I visited this time, but time was a bit rushed, mainly spent on the electric boat. We stopped at a few smaller scenic spots along the way for photo opportunities. The air was fresh, the environment beautiful, and there weren't many people, making it perfect for a weekend getaway. Xixi is beautiful, and I'll definitely come back again.

    It's really clean! There are many shops along the street, and it's more crowded at night than during the day. Although the scenery is rather monotonous and not particularly different from other Jiangnan water towns, the more unique features are probably the light and shadow effects at Lingshui Residence, the Wuzhen Theatre Festival, and its role as a filming location for "Back to Field." Prices for various items within the scenic area are a bit high. Parking fees are reasonable for up to 6 hours.

    Nighttime is better than daytime for boat trips, watching shows, and staying at nearby hotels. There are also many guesthouses in the old town. Since it's weekday season, it's not crowded. The overall experience was quite good.

    Tianyi Pavilion is a great place to visit, the scenery is absolutely beautiful, and Ningbo is also a wonderful place to explore. I've always bought my tickets through Ctrip, and I'll continue to choose Ctrip in the future. It's very convenient and a great travel companion.

    Tianyi Pavilion is not only a library, but also a garden-style architectural complex with beautiful scenery and a relatively quiet atmosphere. It is in no way inferior to the four famous gardens and is a cultural and scenic attraction worth visiting!

    The theme park service can be improved if they can arrange for a transfer from one to another which can provide better experience and time saving for visitors to maximise visits to all the parks.
