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).
It's a very large natural area with lots of historical and cultural relics to see. One of the best viewing spots from which to enjoy the lake is Leifeng Pagoda. Access is very convenient and the views are amazing. It's a very popular spot so try to avoid holidays.

Worth to visit with your own eyes! The nature and the scenery during the night is very beautiful. I think 1 day is enough. You can travel by Didi or the direct bus from the Shangrao train station. I would recommended to stay until evening to see the lights. There are all day performance and program so visitors can enjoy the whole day. Great place to visit with family, kids, friends, and couple~ Or even a single traveller can enjoy as well :)
This trip to Shangrao was at the invitation of my guest and comrade-in-arms, and I was very satisfied. Our first stop was Yushan County, where we stayed at Mutao Homestay. I called beforehand, and the arrangements were excellent. Our second stop was Wangxiangu. Before setting off, I spent a lot of time looking at homestays—over 1000 in total! Finally, I chose Wangxi Xiaozhu Homestay. The price wasn't too high or too low; coming from Hangzhou, I wasn't worried about spending a few dozen yuan more, as long as I had a good time. I chose it primarily because of its excellent cleanliness and its poetic name! When we arrived, the owner drove us there. The homestays here are all self-built houses, all the same. The owner's service was superb; he offered to pick us up and drop us off at the scenic area. I even joked with him, asking what if he couldn't manage during peak season? He probably couldn't during peak season; the roads are narrow and traffic jams are a real hassle. The homestay is near a small river, very quiet, which was another reason I chose it. If it were closer to the road, it would be too noisy in the mornings. Here, I felt at home. The owner's parents were very kind and down-to-earth, making us water and offering us sunflower seeds—it felt like home. Secondly, the hygiene and bedding were excellent. The cleaning was meticulous, and the bedding was very comfortable. The pillows were the perfect height. The bathroom had a separate shower and toilet, and the toilet even had a built-in heater. They provided dry-cleaned towels as well as disposable face and shower towel sets. Finally, I want to say that I also run a guesthouse in Hangzhou. The service industry is tough; you have to serve every guest, and sometimes you'll encounter unreasonable people who deliberately cause trouble. But I believe everyone is equal. The owner of this guesthouse is a wonderful person. As someone in the same industry, and as a retired soldier, I think everything this guesthouse has done deserves respect. Chinese people don't cheat Chinese people. I will recommend the owner to other guests in Hangzhou and wish him continued success in his business.

Huangling Village in Wuyuan, hailed as one of China's most beautiful villages, was built in the mid-Ming Dynasty and boasts over 500 years of history. Here, terraced fields cascade down lush green slopes, villages seem to float on clouds, and the traditional autumn harvest drying isn't just a performance—it's a genuine part of the villagers' lives. The morning smoke from chimneys and the evening lanterns—every scene is like a painting. You absolutely must stay overnight to truly experience the feeling of being immersed in a picturesque landscape.
I bought a senior citizen ticket, which was half price. I felt I could walk more at my own pace, without rushing. The scenery in Huangling was truly beautiful; I strolled around, enjoying the views and the food—a very pleasant trip.

1. Great location, clean and quiet, attentive service, will definitely come again!
2. Ideal for business trips, comfortable bed, fast WiFi, and great value breakfast.
3. Very convenient for families with children, attention to detail, highly recommended!
The scenery of Sanqing Mountain is truly breathtaking! Even though the day I climbed the mountain was shrouded in mist, my luck was incredible; I was fortunate enough to witness both the stunning sunset and the sea of clouds. At dusk, the setting sun painted the sky with vibrant colors, a breathtaking sight. The sea of clouds seemed to be enchanted, instantly becoming shimmering and resembling a golden ocean. The mountain mist hadn't completely dissipated, drifting and floating in the valleys, complementing the sunset and the sea of clouds. The distant peaks were half-hidden in the mist, appearing and disappearing like a beautiful, ethereal ink painting slowly unfolding. Standing amidst this picturesque scenery, I felt as if I had merged with heaven and earth.

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.
This performance was absolutely stunning! The stage effects were dazzling, with the lighting, special effects, and storyline blending seamlessly, creating a truly immersive experience. The actors delivered superb performances, their graceful dances bringing the local history and culture to life. The plot was fast-paced and engaging, with every scene captivating and thrilling. It's definitely a must-see, well worth the ticket price, and I'd love to see it again!

Putuoshan Scenic Area (located in Putuo District, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province) is one of China's four sacred Buddhist mountains, renowned for its worship of Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is a national 5A-level tourist attraction. Putuoshan Scenic Area is permitted.
1. Landmark of the Buddhist Kingdom by the Sea
33m Standing Guanyin Statue: Cast in imitation gold bronze, with her left hand holding a Dharma wheel and her right hand in the Abhaya Mudra (gesture of fearlessness), facing the sea, it is the most striking visual symbol of Putuoshan.
The Unwilling-to-Leave Guanyin Temple: Originally built in the Tang Dynasty, it is the site of the legend of a Japanese monk leaving his image and building the temple. Together with the Purple Bamboo Forest and Chaoyin Cave, it forms the cultural origin of the "Guanyin Refuses to Leave" story.
2. Three Ancient Temple Clusters
Puji Temple: The main temple on the mountain, its 8.8m seated Vairocana Guanyin statue in the Yuantong Hall is the most popular; the Haiyin Pond in front of the temple is covered with lotus in summer and snow in winter, and the Yongshou Bridge features 40 stone lions in various poses. Fayu Temple: A nine-tiered temple built into the mountainside, with the Nine Dragons Hall featuring a Ming Dynasty glazed tile roof. The Imperial Stele Hall and Jade Buddha Hall cascade down the mountainside, interspersed with ancient ginkgo and dragon-phoenix cypress trees.
Huiji Temple: Located atop Foding Mountain, it requires a cable car or 1088 stone steps to reach the top. Behind the temple, the "Carpinus" is a national second-class protected rare tree species, offering a 360° panoramic view of the archipelago.
3. Beaches and Unique Rocks
Qianbu Beach: The longest beach on the island, with an arc length of 1750 m. The sand is fine and the slope gentle. Sunrise over the sea is visible in the morning, and the evening displays a "golden sunset over the sand." The "Listening to the Tide Stone" on the west side produces a thunderous sound at high tide.
Baibu Beach: With clearer water, it's open for bathing in the summer and has complete facilities, making it ideal for seaside activities. More than twenty uniquely shaped sea-eroded rocks, including Pantuo Rock, Two Turtles Listening to the Dharma Rock, and the Sea-Sky Buddhist Kingdom Rock, are scattered throughout the mountain, forming a spectacular "mountain-sea-reef" landscape together with Chaoyin Cave and Fanyin Cave.
Putuoshan blends the religious atmosphere of a "Guanyin Bodhisattva's sacred site," the magnificent seascape of the East China Sea archipelago, and the secluded depths of subtropical forests, making it a rare island-type Buddhist holy site in China that offers a four-fold experience of "pilgrimage—sea view—forest appreciation—sand play."
When the vibrant atmosphere of the nighttime economy, the human touch of tourism services, and the rustic charm of the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism intertwine, they create a new era of urban development, reflecting a global perspective on urban landscape.

Booking tickets is convenient; QR code verification allows for direct entry. It's currently the off-season, so there are fewer tourists at Shenxianju, and there are no queues for the cable car or elevators, making it very convenient. At Shenxianju, you can immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the mountains and rivers, enjoying breathtaking scenery and appreciating the wonders of nature. Highly recommended.
The ticket price is a bit high, but the scenery is undeniable. The views from the mountaintops are breathtaking, a testament to nature's artistry, and incredibly thrilling!
Visiting during the off-season means fewer crowds and no queues for the cable car. The overall experience is good, and the scenic area is clean. However, those with limited physical fitness should proceed with caution, as even the cable car ride up and down requires walking over 10,000 steps. Those with a fear of heights should also exercise caution.

I only visited Xizha in Wuzhen, arriving in the afternoon and staying until the lights were dim in the evening. This should be the off-season, as there were still a decent number of visitors, and the scenery was quite nice. However, the entrance fee seemed a bit expensive, and the food inside the scenic area was also more expensive than elsewhere.

In the Southeast Lake area, a boat ride costs 45.5 yuan per person, similar to a bus; you can take any boat. We first went to Osmanthus Island, the furthest one, which had monkeys and was alright. The second island was for lunch, which we skipped and waited a long time on the boat. The third island was Huangshan Peak, recommended online. Despite my sore legs, it took about 40 minutes to climb, and we completed the round trip in an hour. The trees were dense along the way, so we couldn't see much; you only see things from the summit. Overall, it was mostly about enjoying the lake views.
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.

I've been to Wuyishan twice and highly recommend it. It truly lives up to its reputation as a World Heritage Site, a National Park of China, and one of China's Top Ten Famous Mountains. Although the scenic area is large, the shuttle buses are quite convenient, making the visit less tiring. We drove there and stayed in the city center, where the hotels were great value for money.
Wuyishan is truly beautiful, especially the view of the misty clouds in the morning – it's absolutely breathtaking! I highly recommend the bamboo rafting; it was so relaxing for someone like me who prefers a leisurely trip.
