The cruise is available in both daytime and nighttime options, but I personally recommend the night tour, which offers a unique experience of Shanghai.
The night tour, held at Pier 2 of Shop 16, was a bit disorganized, but thankfully the scenery was stunning. Shanghai under the lights truly gave you a sense of the bustling international metropolis. Even though I've been there countless times, Shanghai still has that magic: you always see a different side of it.
The Bund, a symbol of Shanghai, is a must-visit for every tourist and Shanghainese.
The Bund's daytime scenery varies depending on the season. In spring and autumn, a gentle river breeze blows, offering breathtaking views of the bustling Pudong skyline. In summer, the scorching river breeze is a bit too much to handle, perfect for quick photo ops. In winter, the chilly river breeze can be accompanied by smog, making the four-piece experience vanish before your very eyes.
At night, the Bund is ablaze with lights, the majestic architecture of international architecture contrasting with the sleek skyscrapers of Pudong. The streets are instantly packed with people.
I wish everyone visiting Shanghai a pleasant trip!

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.

It was an amazing experience, you have to try this package to save your time and you should bring your passport to the park so they scan it and print your ticket , i will come back in next year 👏🏼
The most worthwhile thing to do in Shanghai is to go to Disneyland. Although you have to wait in line for a long time to play each project, it is worth it! I guess I will never come again. I am too old to handle it.

I made a lazy version of the guide and planned to finish the climb in four hours, but I didn’t expect to take the wrong road and spent seven hours to get down the mountain 😤 It really was worth the walk, the scenery at the top of the mountain is beautiful!
The Yaduo Hotel's travel consultant provided a detailed guide to all the Huangshan hiking routes. Based on my fitness level, they designed a classic route that ascended south and descended from Yungu to Yuping Mountain. It was perfect for a hiking novice like me. I immediately booked it on Ctrip.
8:40 to the transfer center
900 to get off the electric car
9:35 to get off the Yungu cable car
12:30 to Guangmingding Peak
14:10 to the Welcoming Pine
14:35 to the Yuping cable car
14:50 to get on the electric car
A perfect trip to the Huangshan Scenic Area.

beautiful garden, quite large with different corners to explore. It's like going back in time.
The Humble Administrator's Garden, the crowning achievement of Jiangnan's gardens, boasts an exquisite layout, seemingly created by nature. Elegant pavilions, winding corridors and bridges, and waterside terraces create picturesque reflections. Each season is a picturesque spectacle: cherry blossoms in spring, lotus in summer, maples in autumn, and snow in winter. Every step changes the scenery, creating a poetic scene.

The scenic area is very large, so it is best to stay for a while. Most people come here for the Buddha's Crown Palace, but the other sights are also very nice. The shock of the Buddha's Crown Palace still needs to be seen in person.
Nanjing's Niu Shou Mountain, built at a cost of 4 billion yuan, is truly breathtaking! The scenery is truly picturesque! The underground palace is a must-see, as it offers a wealth of attractions. If the area isn't crowded, we recommend going up to the Buddha's Top Pagoda for a panoramic view of Niu Shou Mountain. It's also very cool up there! We recommend taking the scenic area's eco-friendly buses, especially for those entering and exiting through the East Gate.

The dining environment at the Pearl Tower is very good, the service staff are also very friendly, and there is an elevator that goes directly to the buffet restaurant, which saves a lot of time. You need to go to the restaurant door in advance to wait. This meal was very pleasant!
It is more cost-effective to buy a combined ticket. I thought I had booked it, but when I looked in the afternoon, I found that it was not booked. I booked a temporary ticket separately, and the time was earlier. I changed the pier and got off at the Oriental Pearl Tower. The time was a bit tight, but the scenery was still worth seeing. I came here as a main attraction.

I was very satisfied with my stay. The hotel is close to nearby attractions, making travel convenient. It happened to be a cool day, and the complimentary travel photography session was also excellent. The makeup artist, Zan Zi, did a beautiful hair job, and the photographer, Mr. Zhou, was very patient and provided great guidance. The photos were also very successful. I really enjoyed this trip. 😊 Being able to take photos in the hotel, rather than waiting in line at the scenic spots, was really convenient. The room was a renovated old house, so it's definitely not perfect, but overall, I was very satisfied!
The combined ticket discount was about 15% off, not much, but better than nothing. The scenery in Yangzhou was truly beautiful, and the crowds were just right, so it wasn't lonely or crowded. The water bus could have been longer for more convenience. We took a rowboat on Slender West Lake. The charter price was 1,000 yuan, and they only left when the boat was full. In the end, six of us took the boat to Xiaojinshan for 500 yuan. Even on a cloudy day, it was beautiful.

We went around 3 p.m., and it was a bit overcast, with soft lighting, perfect for taking photos. The night view of Yuezhao is stunning at night, so if you have enough time, you can stay overnight to experience it all.
The Hongcun Aju performance was fantastic, telling the story of the resilience of Huizhou women. The live performance simulated rain and snow, so you'll need to wear a raincoat or use an umbrella to protect yourself if you're sitting in the front row. After the performance, you can take photos with the performers, and there are international performers, so it's worth seeing.
Hongcun isn't large, so two or three hours of photo-taking is fine. A more in-depth experience requires half a day to a full day. Go around 3 p.m. for softer lighting, perfect for photos. At night, the Moon Pond offers stunning views. If you have enough time, stay overnight to experience it all.
The Hongcun Aju Show is fantastic. The live performance simulates rain and snow, so front-row seats require a raincoat or umbrella for protection. After the show, you can take photos with the performers. It's well worth seeing.

I really recommend this scenic spot. The Songcheng Eternal Love performance combines the history and culture of Hangzhou during the Southern Song Dynasty. The live performance is wonderful and shocking. Next time I go to other cities, I will also experience other Eternal Love performances.
I didn’t get to see the street performance maybe due to normal days, there’s no crowds.  performance of the entire love of great. As due to not a pit season, it took me less than two hours to finish all.
