    The rapid transit bus goes directly to the scenic area, and the shuttle bus goes directly to Jade Maiden Peak. From there, you can walk downhill. The Water Curtain Cave is a must-see. It has a very powerful engine, which could easily carry 500 monkeys. I recommend going towards Cave 72. There are strange rocks, numerous caves, and inscriptions by famous people. It's very interesting and meaningful. The whole journey took me about five hours, with many stops along the way.

    This is a very tranquil temple in the Jiangnan region, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with beautiful scenery. A few black swans and koi fish swim in the pond, adding a touch of wild charm. There's also Ouyang Xiu's Pingshan Hall, its interior simple and elegant, and the calligraphy works are of high artistic quality. In addition, there are iconic buildings such as the Jianzhen Monk Memorial Hall and Qiling Pagoda, personally designed by Liang Sicheng. Bamboo, wasabi, water lilies, osmanthus trees, pines, and other trees and shrubs stand in a harmonious and orderly fashion, with cats sitting or lying among them, adding to the lively atmosphere. In short, it's a very elegant temple, well worth a visit!

    日月草1981日月草1981

    Slender West Lake is a landmark attraction in Yangzhou. Visitors can choose to stroll along the river and enjoy the natural scenery, or take a painted boat and experience the carefree mood of Emperor Qianlong when he toured the lake.

    可可兔纸可可兔纸

    Although it was a bit late, I didn't see much of the intricacies of the gardens. I think we should have hired a guide. However, the design of these gardens is indeed ingenious. They must be very beautiful in late autumn and early spring.

    生活在诗与远方生活在诗与远方

    Take the shuttle bus directly to Genting Highlands, and with the bright sunshine today, enjoy a panoramic view of the port city! The other stops weren't particularly interesting. However, the shuttle bus driver deserves praise; he was incredibly kind! He dropped me off at the Tao Yuanming Scenic Area, saving me the trouble of getting off at Faqi Temple and walking the rest of the way. The Sucheng Reservoir next to the mountain after the descent is worth taking photos of; the sunset glow makes for some great shots!

  • He Garden

    A highly recommended attraction, it offers a unique blend of classical Chinese gardens and Western decor. While strolling along the 1.5km covered walkway, visitors can also learn about the history of the He clan. This educational and entertaining three-dimensional garden is truly excellent.

    小小言西早小小言西早

    If you want to see the sea like in Winter Sonata, this is a place definitely worth visiting and experiencing. Braving the wind and waves, listening to the sounds of the ocean, walking on the soft sand, just relaxing and daydreaming—the beauty of the mountains and the sea is something you should definitely appreciate…🌷🌷😁😁

    小仙蓉蓉小仙蓉蓉

    Since it was my first time in Zhenjiang, I definitely had to visit this place. I bought my ticket a day in advance, saving 5 yuan—better than nothing! Jinshan Temple was the main attraction, but it was incredibly crowded on the weekend, making it virtually impossible to take a photo without people. Even the small path leading up was packed! Finally, I went to the boat dock to ride an electric boat. Seeing Jinshan Temple from afar was a nice alternative.

  • Qixia Mountain Scenic Area
    󰺂6.9

    苏苏的旅途苏苏的旅途

    Qixia Mountain is the crown jewel of Nanjing in autumn colors. Red leaves blanket the mountains, ancient temples are nestled among the trees, and imperial stone carvings still bear the marks of time. From its heights, one can overlook the mighty Yangtze River, where Zen and nature blend seamlessly. The scenery changes with the seasons, but late autumn is particularly breathtaking, making it truly "the most beautiful mountain in Nanjing."
