最美不过路上的风景

The autumn foliage at Hangzhou's Flower Harbor Park is at its peak, with large areas of red maple and Japanese maple turning crimson, creating a stunning "red reflection in the water" spectacle. 🌟 Autumn Foliage Features and Best Viewing Time Autumn Foliage Varieties: Primarily red maple and Japanese maple, with vibrant, scarlet leaves and tall, graceful trees. Some areas also feature feather maple. Best Time: Currently (early December), the leaves are 100% red, and the viewing period can last until mid-to-late December. In the early morning (6:00-8:00 AM), before the mist dissipates, sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a spectacular interplay of light and shadow. In the evening (4:00-6:00 PM), the sunset bathes the leaves in a warm orange hue, creating a truly atmospheric scene. 📸 Must-Visit Photo Spots Red Fish Pond: The reflection of the red leaves in the clear lake, along with the swimming koi, creates a picturesque scene. The Nine-Bend Bridge is a classic photo spot. Near the Peony Garden: The old maple trees display vibrant colors; backlighting from the wooden pavilion allows you to capture the translucent texture of the red leaves. Yanggong Causeway area: At dusk, you can witness the spectacular "golden light through the holes" phenomenon (the Tyndall effect created by sunlight penetrating through maple leaves).

I've been to the Shanghai Romance Park, and I felt the park was too small. The Hangzhou park, supposedly the main base, is indeed very large, with many more shows, and is much better than the Shanghai one.

I went to Hangzhou in September. Since I was staying in the Lingyin Temple scenic area, we walked there the next day to check out the Buddhist supplies shop. It seems the entrance fee has been abolished now, but when we went, we still had to buy tickets. Looking forward to going again; free admission is so kind! Environment: Lush and green, very pleasing to the eye, and the air was very fresh. However, once inside the temple, it got a bit pungent, but that also shows how many tourists there are and how popular it is! Service: Free drinking water and incense were provided upon entering Lingyin Temple. Kudos to the management!

Each island has its own attractions, so I recommend buying a combined ticket that includes cable car and ropeway fees. The islands are much smaller than I expected. On Meifeng Island in the central lake area, there's only a small area to explore, basically just a viewing platform. I suggest walking up and down the mountain; it's not far. I recommend taking Line 2, which skips Meifeng Island compared to Line 1. Meifeng Island is primarily for dining, so I don't recommend eating there; it's expensive and the food isn't good. Longshan Island is the largest of the islands. You can take a sightseeing bus and a magic carpet up the mountain and walk down.

The Buddhist statues are enormous; although I'm not a Buddhist, I was quite awestruck when I first saw them. The temple environment is quite beautiful, but it gets a bit noisy due to the large number of worshippers.

To get to Xixi Wetland Park, take Metro Line 3 and get off at Huawu Station. Turn right and enter the south gate of Xixi Gaozhuang, near Jiaolu Tianzhuang Hotel. The park boasts pristine fishponds, is less crowded, and offers plenty of opportunities to explore. You can also enjoy tea, conversation, and meals at the Tianzhuang, making it a perfect spot for gatherings with old friends.

This is a really great attraction 👍👍👍, especially suitable for children. The Sky Coaster and rafting are both fun and safe. The most commendable thing is the ticket checker at the Tongtian River ferry ticket counter. Her coordination and scheduling skills are excellent, and she has a great sense of humor. She managed thousands of tourists in an orderly manner without any annoyance.

I went there during the National Day holiday. There were a lot of people, but the place was in good order. The second floor was a private dining room, and the third floor deck was very cool. The light show on the shore was a bit short, and the boat would only show it once or twice when it was nearby. There were food and drinks for sale on the boat.

I guess I didn't do my research properly. I always felt that such a large museum like the Zhejiang Provincial Museum shouldn't be like this! They can't even offer a paid guided tour without a group of ten people, so they have to find a more expensive guide. At 150 yuan per hour, that's probably the most expensive guided tour I've ever heard of. Maybe because I paid for it, my expectations were high, so I hoped the content of the tour would be more comprehensive. 😊

Going up the escalator and getting the view is awesome. It's steep but not so fast so I can still carefully turn around to take photos. Coming down with the water slide is exhilarating and cold in December. Imagine cold air and water splashing on to face and hand and yet you still have to hold tightly as the float corners swiftly.
