Pirates of the Caribbean is a must-see! I rode it three times, it was so much fun! I also got to ride Hot Pursuit twice. Being in the park made me feel like a princess! The parade was so much fun, I love Nick, Nick Nick, Judy Judy!
It's improved a lot since it opened! To be honest, when it first opened, compared to Hong Kong Disneyland, the service was terrible, the parade costumes and the attitude of the performers really deterred me from going there.
Six years later, I guess there are more non-Shanghai residents among the staff, and everything has improved significantly. During the parade, they no longer acted arrogantly, looking away; they were very enthusiastic and interacted with the audience a lot.

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."

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 scenic area boasts picturesque views, with towering peaks stretching as far as the eye can see. Various unique peaks and rocks are sometimes visible and sometimes hidden amidst the swirling clouds and mist. There are many high-end hotels with friendly staff and well-placed restrooms. Restaurants are located at the summit and throughout the area, allowing guests to stay on the mountain and enjoy the sunrise and sea of clouds.
It's definitely worth a visit. I took the kids there during their autumn break, and they had a great time. We took the Yuping cable car up and descended towards Yunggu, hiking the entire way ourselves. It was a bit tiring, but we were happy – a wonderful experience!

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 most anticipated attraction in Jiangxi is the autumn harvest scene, which is particularly beautiful. Taking the cable car there feels like entering a completely different world. It's a large place with plenty of food and drinks, great for exploring, and perfect for taking photos.

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.

My trip to Niushou Mountain was definitely worthwhile; it far exceeded my expectations and is absolutely a place worth making a special trip to from Nanjing.
The most stunning sight was the Buddha Palace. Its exterior resembles a giant durian, quite unique from afar, and even more impressive up close. But the real gem is underground. Wearing shoe covers, you descend level by level, and are surrounded by magnificent, exquisitely carved golden decorations. The sheer awe is indescribable; even speaking softly becomes a subconscious experience. The Zen-like Grand View above ground is also a must-see; the enormous reclining Buddha appears exceptionally serene and peaceful in the play of light and shadow.
The scenic area is very user-friendly, requiring minimal climbing. Entering from the East Gate, you take a shuttle bus, then three extremely long escalators directly to the entrance of the Buddha Palace. It's easy for the elderly and children to explore. The Buddha Pagoda is also worth climbing; it offers panoramic views of the entire mountain and provides excellent vantage points for taking pictures of the Buddha Palace. The white corridor outside the palace is also photogenic, with a touch of European style; every shot is a masterpiece.
However, a few words of advice: it's best to come on a weekday morning, as weekends are too crowded and the experience will be less enjoyable. Food inside the scenic area is a bit expensive; a simple bowl of noodles can cost several tens of yuan, so it's recommended to bring your own snacks and water. Also, entry to the underground palace closes at 4 PM, so you need to go early, otherwise you might miss the main attractions.
Overall, this place is excellent for viewing architecture, experiencing the atmosphere, and taking photos; the ticket price is well worth it.
It's magnificent, grand, and breathtakingly beautiful. Definitely worth a visit! Plenty of photo spots, perfect for taking pictures. Elevators both up and down make the walk easy and not tiring at all. A must-see!

Highly recommend the Oriental Pearl Tower's second sphere observation deck! Take the high-speed elevator to the 259-meter-high all-transparent suspended observation deck, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the Huangpu River and the Lujiazui skyline, taking in the city's vibrant cityscape – perfect for taking amazing photos. Then, head to the 263-meter main observation deck for a 360° view of the Bund's historic buildings and the winding Suzhou Creek, offering different charms by day and night. The ascent is smooth, with clear signage, and you can even visit the unique souvenir shops. Whether it's a family trip, a romantic date, or a girls' getaway, you're guaranteed a thrilling and enjoyable experience!

The Oriental Pearl Tower's second sphere observation deck is fantastic! The 259-meter glass observation deck is incredibly thrilling; stepping onto it feels like walking on clouds, with the river breeze on your face and the entire city skyline seemingly within reach. The 263-meter observation deck offers a wide-open view; even with binoculars, details are clearly visible. The golden sunset casts a beautiful glow on the river, creating a truly immersive atmosphere. The景区 service is excellent, with ample rest areas and convenient transportation, directly accessible by subway. Whether you want to experience the modern vibrancy of Shanghai or visit city landmarks, the Two Spheres Sightseeing Tour is a great value option and definitely worth a visit!

This was my second time taking a boat trip on Slender West Lake. Although it wasn't springtime, the lake was slightly cool, giving it a serene and refreshing feel. The moon over the Twenty-Four Bridges was still there, and the Five Pavilion Bridge and Fishing Terrace in the center of the lake were as beautiful as ever after being lit up. After disembarking, the neon lights along the lakeside path and the mist made it feel like a fairyland.
Slender West Lake is more exquisite than West Lake. It's said that Hangzhou's West Lake is plump, while Yangzhou's West Lake is slender. The pavilions, towers, bridges, and flowing water here are like a carefully dressed young woman. Recommended route: Enter from the South Gate → Long Causeway with Spring Willows → Xu Garden → Little Gold Mountain → Fishing Terrace → Five Pavilion Bridge → White Pagoda → Twenty-Four Bridges → Jingxiang Study → Shibi Flowing Water → Exit from the North Gate.

I've been looking forward to visiting Hongcun for a long time, and today's visit lived up to my expectations. Luckily, the weather was fantastic today, with blue skies and white clouds. The photos I took looked like ink paintings, truly like walking through a painting. I especially loved the Moon Pond scenic spot; it was simply breathtaking. In the evening, I went to the garden, where the ink-wash reflections under the night lights were like a dream!
Arriving in Hongcun at the height of autumn colors, the experience exceeded my expectations. The golden rice paddies at the south gate of the scenic area, interspersed with red, yellow, and green tallow trees, created a vibrant tapestry of colors, like an oil painting spread across the land.
