As a representative of Jiangnan gardens, the Humble Administrator's Garden is small yet grand, with charming bridges and winding corridors, offering ever-changing views and revealing meticulous design at every turn. The entrance fee is a bit expensive, but seniors get a half-price ticket, making entry quite convenient.

Overall, the stay was satisfactory, with no major issues but room for improvement in details. The location was good, close to a bus stop for convenient transportation. The room was clean enough, and the bedding was reasonably clean. However, some facilities were outdated, the air conditioning was only moderately effective, and there were some water stains on the bathroom tiles. Front desk service was somewhat mechanical; when asked for local travel information, only basic details were provided. While the response was timely, there was a lack of proactive care. Breakfast selection was limited, and hot food was occasionally unavailable. I hope the hotel can update its outdated equipment, improve cleaning details, and enhance the personalization of its services; I believe this would lead to a better experience.

Slender West Lake truly lives up to its reputation as Yangzhou's landmark and the city's largest park. Autumn is the off-season, but it's still beautiful. There are chrysanthemum exhibitions, maple leaves, and ginkgo trees. Yangzhou must be even more beautiful in March. I heard that prices in autumn are half the price of spring prices. If you don't want to walk but still want to explore the entire Slender West Lake, you can take an electric cart, except for the area around the South Gate. It costs 20 yuan one way and 40 yuan round trip. Around the South Gate area, there are boat tours; if you want to experience the charm of Jiangnan, you can take a boat tour of Slender West Lake.

Right at the Nanjing Railway Station exit! We stored our luggage directly at the subway entrance and then spent 3 hours at the zoo with our friends! We even had lunch there! The food inside was a bit pricey!

Strolling hand-in-hand with your loved one at Hanshan Temple, the ancient temple is tucked away in the bustling city yet remains tranquil and serene. Red walls and black tiles reflect a Zen-like atmosphere, and the poetic imagery of "A Night Mooring by Maple Bridge" permeates the entire journey. Together, we strike the prayer bell, admire the calligraphy inscriptions, and feel the romance of fishing lights on the river flowing through our hearts. It is an unforgettable journey that combines cultural heritage with the warmth of our love.

We went after the Spring Festival holiday, and the queues were still long, but much less crowded than during the holiday. The kids wanted to see the red-billed gulls, and after seeing the free ones, they wanted to go to Yuantouzhu (Yuantouzhu Scenic Area), which was spectacular, especially on the way back with the sunset – absolutely stunning. The island itself is also beautiful, with plenty of food and activities, but it was too cold in winter; it's much more beautiful during cherry blossom season. There's a parking lot at the entrance. The day before, because of the holiday, the queues were too long, so we decided against it. The next day, there were fewer cars, so we could drive in ourselves, which was very convenient.

Some interesting attractions were cancelled, as were the nighttime attractions; the park closes at 5 PM, and this wasn't mentioned when purchasing tickets. The rides are just so-so, typical of all theme parks, nothing special. I won't be coming back.

Lion Grove Garden, a classical garden located in Suzhou, is like a dazzling pearl embedded in the picturesque landscape of the Jiangnan water towns. It is not only one of the four most famous gardens in China, but also a gem of Yuan Dynasty garden art, renowned worldwide for its unique rockery landscape.

It was a very good experience. You need to go to Tiger Hill Scenic Area early to avoid crowds and take beautiful photos. Autumn is the perfect time to photograph the leaves; it's absolutely gorgeous. Although it's not very large, it has many different attractions, making it quite lovely.

Visiting the Lingering Garden in Suzhou at this time of year coincided with the blooming of ginkgo trees and the vibrant color of maple leaves. The Lingering Garden is already a quintessential example of Suzhou gardens, possessing a unique charm characteristic of Jiangnan gardens. The scenery was even more beautiful when visiting during this season, making for a very enjoyable trip.
