Life advice! You must visit Jiuxi once! A paradise on earth!
Tucked away in the southeast corner of the Hangzhou West Lake scenic area, Jiuxi Yanshu seems like a secret garden meticulously carved by nature. Here, the streams babble, ancient trees reach for the sky, and every step is taken on the traces of history and the rhythm of nature. 'Jiuxi Eighteen Streams' is not only a place name but also a flowing landscape painting.

Walking in the spring tea season, the lion peak mountain, Yulongjing took a look, along the way, the most wonderful part of the emperor green lake water, beautiful can not believe. Always upward, I arrived at the tea garden of the tea farmers in Longjing Village, and there were tea pickers picking. After going down the mountain, Longjing brewed a cup in Mingqian, and the spring was included.
Y-shaped map, on the north side is Longjing Village, on the other side is Yangmeiling Village, with Jiuxi Yanshu fork, and on the south end is Jiuxi Bus Station. Overall convenient. We are the elderly, taking physical conditions as a consideration, and we can't play in the water. We just walk around and see. All the way is also very powerful, from Jiuxikou, it is recommended to enter after three o'clock, so it will not be very hot, under the big tree, there is a trace of coolness in the gap. We walked from Jiuxikou to Jiuxi Yanshu, about half an hour, all the way to take pictures, PS from Jiuxi to Yangmeiling Village has a battery car to do, everyone needs to choose. Arrived at Jiuxi Yanshu, we went to Jiuxi 18 to see, and we went back and forth. The overall physical strength is OK, and it is still down. By the way, dinner was solved near Jiuyuan.
The scenery and air here are very good. The streams are crystal clear everywhere. Many tea fields have become interesting scenery. Jiuxi smoke trees are the essence of the entire scenic spot. There are many shallow streams, large and small, on foot down the mountain. Stop and stop, and go back to the stream to play in the water and cool off the heat!
One of the attractions of Jiuxi 18th Stream, there is a monument printed with Jiuxi smoke trees, there is a lake on the side, blue sky, white clouds, green waters and green mountains, very beautiful.
The scenic spot is located near Longjing Village. It is just a walk away. The 18 Qianlong Royal Tree Green Tea is at the entrance of the scenic spot. You can see it as soon as you enter it. There is a tea house inside which is very elegant and suitable for drinking tea and chatting.
Very beautiful, worth a visit
When you come to Hangzhou, you must check in. The mountain in the morning is very quiet, especially you can hit the clock to pray.
