Visiting West Lake is quite economical and convenient. It's a great weekend getaway for the kids. After enjoying the lake, there are plenty of places to eat nearby (like crab roe noodles), so you can have a good time and head home without affecting your plans or work the next day. (If you have enough time, there are also many other attractions nearby, and you can usually find them all on a map.)
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.

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.

The butler at this hotel was incredibly attentive! We went on the 18th, right in the middle of a cold snap, and the butler was like a warm, comforting nurse, constantly checking on us. Later, they gave us a whole bunch of gifts (picture one), including two pairs of gloves and crampons! Seriously, we felt safe and secure! Although the hotel is a bit old, the location is fantastic, perfect for watching the sunrise and sunset! We'll definitely come back.
The beauty of Huangshan truly exceeded my expectations! Taking the cable car up the mountain at dawn, I was greeted by a surging sea of clouds just as I reached Bright Summit. Golden sunlight bathed the clouds, creating a scene straight out of a fairyland. Hiking through the West Sea Grand Canyon, I encountered strangely shaped pines and rocks everywhere. The Welcoming Pine stood tall and vigorous, and the Monkey Watching the Sea was remarkably lifelike. Watching the sunset at Danxia Peak in the evening, the afterglow painted the valley red, and even the mountain breeze seemed to carry a poetic quality. Every step revealed a new vista; every snapshot was wallpaper-worthy. It's definitely worth a special trip!

First of all, the overall night view is undeniably beautiful and majestic. However, due to the autumn break in several provinces, it was incredibly crowded, both on the mountain roads and at the exit. The exit only had a narrow corridor, which suddenly narrowed, causing a surge in people and nearly resulting in a crush. There were no staff members managing the crowds, making it extremely chaotic and dangerous. The trash cans in the food street were also scarce, resulting in litter everywhere. Most of the food was reasonably priced, but a word of warning: avoid the mung bean soup! It was terrible and overpriced.
As night falls and the lights come on, Wangxian Valley transforms into a bustling scene. Houses clinging to the cliffs form a "celestial palace," a truly breathtaking sight. Taking photos here in Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) creates incredibly photogenic pictures. The workshop street, which is also their food street, offers a variety of delicious Jiangxi specialties.

Autumn is a worthwhile time to visit Wuyuan to experience its autumn harvest culture and witness the vibrant colors of the fall foliage – it's truly beautiful. Huangling Scenic Area has many photo spots, but it's also incredibly crowded. Everyone has to queue to take beautiful pictures, and during peak season, it's easy to miss out on the entire view. The signs for the hot spring on the mountain are misleading; some tourists mistakenly believe it's the highest photo spot, when in fact it's just the hot spring itself, and you need to buy a ticket to access the so-called highest point. Taking elderly people up there felt like a rip-off, and we were quite annoyed. The A and B cable cars aren't far apart, but the main roads are narrow, only one lane in each direction, making the return trip in the afternoon prone to traffic jams. There are buses directly to other attractions or the station within the scenic area, but the management is somewhat chaotic, with long wait times and no organized queuing – it's all disorganized and needs improvement.
Huangling is beautiful in autumn. Except for the crowds, everything is great. You have to queue to take pictures at the viewing platform. Even the best spots for coffee or tea are taken. The experience would be much better if there were fewer people. Overall, I recommend it!

Very big and beautiful garden! I think you can take up to 2hours to explore the whole place. Packed with tourist so try to go early
The Humble Administrator's Garden is the pinnacle of Suzhou gardens and is absolutely worth a visit. Its exquisite layout centers around water, with pavilions and terraces arranged in a harmonious and picturesque manner. In summer, the pond is filled with blooming lotus flowers, creating a picturesque scene with classic buildings such as "Yu Shui Tong Zuo Xuan" and "Xiang Zhou." Every step reveals a new vista, making it a veritable textbook of Chinese aesthetics. Although it can be a bit crowded with tourists, standing quietly by the water still allows you to feel the tranquil elegance of the ancients who "enjoyed the pleasures of mountains and forests without leaving the city." It is recommended to enter early in the morning when it opens to enjoy a brief moment of peace and quiet.

The scenery is beautiful, and the underground palace is magnificent. It even has an elevator, which is a nice touch. However, during the autumn break, the lines for the sightseeing bus are incredibly long, especially since the place is remote and the taxi return trip can take more than 30 minutes. You need to plan ahead.
The natural environment is beautiful, the underground hall is magnificent, and the scenic area is designed to be very user-friendly. There are elevators and shuttle buses to go up and down the mountain, making it very suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to visit.

Having seen the Oriental Pearl Tower so many times, this was the first time I'd ever been up there since having a child. The weather was fantastic, with excellent visibility, and the viewing experience was superb. Surprisingly, my two-year-old was braver than us adults, managing to walk through the transparent walkway all by himself.
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.

I recently visited this place and I truly believe it's worth the trip; the scenery is absolutely stunning. First, the natural landscape is breathtaking, every view like a meticulously crafted painting. Second, the facilities are excellent, with the visitor center offering detailed guided tours, which was very thoughtful. Furthermore, the staff are incredibly friendly and always willing to help. Overall, this place is not only beautiful but also offers excellent service, making it a wonderful place to relax and enjoy nature. Highly recommended!
Yangzhou's Slender West Lake is truly a hidden gem! I recently visited and was completely captivated by its beauty. The lake water is crystal clear, and the banks are lined with lush willows and vibrant flowers, making it feel like stepping into a traditional Chinese landscape painting. Small boats gently sway on the water, adding a unique charm. The ancient architecture within the park is also very distinctive, each exuding a rich historical atmosphere. During my visit, I experienced an unprecedented sense of tranquility and peace. Overall, Yangzhou's Slender West Lake is absolutely worth a visit. Whether you want to appreciate natural beauty or learn about history and culture, it has something for everyone. I highly recommend it!
