To visit Lingyin Temple, you must purchase a ticket for the Feilai Peak scenic area. However, there are no package deals available inside; even if you do get a package deal, you still have to wait for a tour guide. It's suggested that a package deal option be added, since Lingyin Temple is a must-see when visiting Hangzhou; it's unlikely someone would go to Feilai Peak without visiting Lingyin Temple.
On an autumn weekend, West Lake is like an overturned palette of colors, revealing the gentlest side of Jiangnan. Compared to the hustle and bustle of midsummer, the lake and mountains at this time possess a greater sense of tranquility and depth, worthy of slow appreciation.
If you want to avoid the crowds, the western route of West Lake is an excellent choice. Yanggong Causeway is most pleasant in the early morning; the sycamore leaves turn yellow and fall, rustling underfoot, while the dawn redwoods on both sides gradually turn red, their reflections on the lake creating a misty, oil painting-like scene. Turning into the secluded Turtle Pool, the tallow tree leaves are even more vibrant than the red maples, egrets skim the water, and the sound of reed flutes adds to the serene beauty.
The autumn colors at Flower Harbor Park are incredibly layered: sycamores at the top, red maples in the middle, and red berries of nandina at the bottom, all arranged in a staggered pattern. From the lakeside promenade, you can frame the scene of Leifeng Pagoda and the boats dancing together, while the fragrance of osmanthus wafts through the air, refreshing and delightful. In the afternoon, a visit to Yuhu Bay reveals a mirror-like surface, reflecting the colorful forests and pavilions, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a Monet painting.
Even the taste buds are imbued with autumn's charm. Lou Wai Lou's sweet lotus root with osmanthus blossoms is soft, chewy, and fragrant; street vendors offer roasted sweet potatoes with ginger tea to warm your hands and heart; and buying a jar of osmanthus honey allows you to bring the sweetness of West Lake home.
The only downside is the crowds at popular weekend spots; early arrivals are recommended to catch the first rays of sunlight. But when the autumn sun filters through the maple leaves and falls on your shoulders, and the fragrance of osmanthus drifts across the lake on the evening breeze, you'll understand why it's said, "Paradise on earth is nothing more than an autumn scene at West Lake."

Have fun at Disneyland shanghai.only thing alot of people but enjoy the fun.
I came after the National Day holiday, traveling in the opposite direction, so it wasn't too crowded. The details were great, and the experience was very rich. The theme park is definitely worth a visit. I spent a whole day there. Unlimited entry and exit was very convenient, and there were plenty of restaurants nearby, making shopping, strolling, and enjoying the rides all very comfortable.

The Bund in Shanghai is a famous scenic area along the Huangpu River. A stroll along the riverbank offers views of the modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui on the opposite bank, including landmarks such as the Oriental Pearl Tower and Jin Mao Tower. The Bund also features numerous classical European-style buildings, such as No. 1 to No. 33 on the Bund, many of which were formerly bank buildings. In the early morning, many locals exercise, and at night, the area is brightly lit with stunning river views. Nearby attractions include Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and Yu Garden, both within walking distance. The area offers a variety of dining options, including Nanxiang steamed buns, pan-fried dumplings, and other local Shanghai cuisine. Transportation is convenient, with subway lines 2 and 10 providing easy access. It is recommended to visit in the late afternoon to enjoy both the sunset and the night view.
The river view is beautiful, but it's windy and a bit cold.

Huangshan Core Evaluation:
• Highlights: The five wonders of Huangshan – uniquely shaped pines, strangely shaped rocks, sea of clouds, hot springs, and winter snow – make it a stunning destination. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site with two major natural wonders, beautiful in all four seasons, and easily accessible.
• Drawbacks: Crowded during holidays, high prices at the summit, unpredictable weather, and physically demanding hiking.

I give credit to the team that goes all out to make a valley this gorgeous and charming in the middle of nowhere !!!
I recommend entering the park around 4 PM. Taking photos of the waterfall during the day is still possible, and you can also stroll through the food street. However, to get the truly stunning photos, you'll need to wait for the lights to come on. Once the lights are on, it's like a heavenly palace; every angle offers a breathtaking view.

This time, visiting Huangling Scenic Area in Wuyuan, the cable car was very convenient; after entering, we went to the visitor center and took it to the second floor. It took us directly up the mountain, and the scenery along the way was breathtaking! Although the weather wasn't great that day, it didn't detract from the experience. The scenic area was crowded, but the atmosphere was wonderful. Huaxi Water Street, Tianjie Street, the Drying Workshop… Autumn in Huangling is full of poetry and romance. It's so beautiful. We played there from afternoon until evening. A perfect experience. We then took the cable car down.
It's beautiful when the weather is nice. The autumn harvest is a must-see; the vibrant colors all come together beautifully. Taking photos in traditional country costumes would be even more stunning. You can stroll around, relax, grab a bite to eat and drink, and leisurely ride the cable car down the mountain.

The Humble Administrator's Garden, one of Suzhou's most famous classical gardens, perfectly blends the beauty of nature and culture. Its layout is ingenious, with pavilions and terraces scattered throughout, interspersed with ponds and artificial hills. Strolling through it feels like stepping back in time, experiencing a rich cultural heritage and a tranquil atmosphere.
Take Metro Line 6 to Humble Administrator's Garden Book Museum Station, exit from Exit 2. Must-see attractions: 1. Lanxue Hall, located in the East Garden, is the main hall in the eastern part of the garden. Its name is taken from a poem by Li Bai. 2. Shuxiang Hall, the main building in the eastern part of the garden, faces the mountain and is separated from the water. The interior is spacious and bright.

Impressive architecture n a beautiful place to spend half a day wandering through the parks n the diff sections of the park.
The underground palace is impressive and quite worth exploring; you could easily spend a long time there. There are many shops to browse. The Buddha Tower is also worth climbing; the first level is the most tiring, but it gets better once you get to the top. There's a free elevator for those over 70, which is very convenient. Taking the shuttle bus up the mountain and walking down is a good option, but the shuttle bus is too expensive—ten yuan for a three-minute ride is unreasonable.

Transportation was very convenient, and the route was easy to find. I went with friends, and it was great! 👍 Very cost-effective. The scenery was absolutely beautiful. It's super easy to take amazing photos. I'll definitely come again next time.
An amazingly unforgettable trip! The buffet banquet was phenomenal and possibly the best in Shanghai! The price was extremely resaonable and the lobster with grilled cheese was an absolute dream! With one glance you were circling the Bund and then the Shanghai Tower. A wonderfully romantic night to remember!

The scenery is beautiful; the daytime is much better for taking photos than the nighttime tour of Slender West Lake. I happened to visit during the Chrysanthemum Festival, which was lovely. The only downside is that there are no performances during the day, but the nighttime tour includes a light show and performances.
