天空20190808• Positive Reviews: Some tourists found the West Lake boat tour experience enjoyable, praising the large and stable boats, the clear explanations of the routes provided by staff, and the quick and efficient boat connections. Others found the on-site QR code ticket purchase convenient and fast, with various discounts readily available based on the ticket purchaser's ID information. • Negative Reviews: Some tourists pointed out the lack of price transparency for the West Lake boat tours, such as shorter advertised rowboat routes and hidden charges for self-rowed boats. Furthermore, the route selection was unsatisfactory, with long queues for island tours and limited views of attractions only on distant shores during the lake tour. Other complaints included inattentive boatman explanations and moldy life jackets.

小魚兒的家Yesterday's performance at Hangzhou Songcheng was fantastic. I had been to Shanghai's "Eternal Love" a few years ago, but I didn't go to Guilin's "Eternal Love" because it's located in Yangshuo (since I was staying near Guilin Railway Station), which is quite far. It's a real pity. I hope I'll have the opportunity to see all the "Eternal Love" shows in different regions in the future.

Anonymous userKey Highlights 1. Millennia-Old Grotto Statues Feilai Peak boasts the largest group of Buddhist stone carvings from the Five Dynasties to the Yuan Dynasty in eastern China, totaling over 340 statues. Among them, the Song Dynasty Maitreya Buddha statue (the Laughing Buddha) is lifelike and has become an iconic symbol; the Yuan Dynasty Tibetan Buddhist statues (such as Vajrapani Bodhisattva) embody the fusion of diverse cultures and possess extremely high artistic value. 2. The Fantastic Scenery of the Peak The peak is named "Feilai" (meaning "flying"), originating from the legend of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Indian monk Huili, who asked, "This is a small ridge of Vulture Peak in India; I don't know how it flew here." The limestone landform has created natural wonders of caves, strange rocks, and secluded ravines, which, together with the surrounding mountains, forests, and streams, form a scene where "every stone is strange, every tree is ancient, and every stream is clear." 3. A Harmony of Culture and Nature Scattered among the mountains are historical sites such as Lengquan Pavilion and Cuiwei Pavilion. Stone inscriptions, babbling brooks, and the sound of the Lingyin Temple bells intertwine, creating a blend of Zen tranquility and wild charm. Literary figures like Su Dongpo and Bai Juyi left poems here, adding to its historical depth. Tour Suggestions • Best Route: Start from Hejian Bridge, walk upstream along the stream to admire the statues, explore Qinglin Cave and Yuru Cave, and climb to the top for a panoramic view of Lingyin Temple. It is recommended to combine this tour with a visit to Lingyin Temple (separate temple ticket required). • Time Allocation: 2-3 hours is sufficient. Early morning or rainy days offer fewer tourists and a more tranquil atmosphere. Must-see attractions: ✅ Qinglin Cave: Northern Song Dynasty Vairocana Buddha Assembly Relief ✅ Yuru Cave: Eighteen Arhat Statues and the unique spectacle of bats inhabiting the area ✅ Longhong Cave: Yuan Dynasty White Horse Carrying Scriptures Stone Carving ✅ Yixiantian (A Line of Sky): A natural fissure through which light shines through. Important Notes: • Holiday congestion: Lingyin Scenic Area is crowded with tourists year-round; it is recommended to visit on weekdays or during the off-season. • Cultural understanding: Some statues are very old and show obvious weathering; it is advisable to learn about the background in advance or use the scenic area's guided tour service. • Slippery and insect-proof: The mountain paths are slippery; take precautions against mosquitoes in summer.

M52***03It's worth going, but it's best to go early. You'll finish exploring in a day and it'll be dark by the time you're done. I was still inside at 8 PM, and I didn't leave until almost 9 PM, having arrived around 10 PM. The scenic area is huge; spending a whole day climbing up and down it shows how stamina everyone has.
64.5/5Anonymous userIt's really clean! There are many shops along the street, and it's more crowded at night than during the day. Although the scenery is rather monotonous and not particularly different from other Jiangnan water towns, the more unique features are probably the light and shadow effects at Lingshui Residence, the Wuzhen Theatre Festival, and its role as a filming location for "Back to Field." Prices for various items within the scenic area are a bit high. Parking fees are reasonable for up to 6 hours.

The sunshine was incredibly warm, and the ecological environment of Qiandao Lake was simply amazing, with high levels of negative oxygen ions. Every breath felt like a deep, satisfying inhale. Traveling during the off-season is fantastic; currently, admission to the islands is free, and boat tickets are discounted. From Huangshan Peak, you can enjoy panoramic views of the lake and mountains.

JadeChongThe theme park service can be improved if they can arrange for a transfer from one to another which can provide better experience and time saving for visitors to maximise visits to all the parks.

suyuYandang Mountain is uniquely beautiful, with majestic peaks and towering cliffs. The night view of Lingfeng Peak is like a fairyland. Waterfalls and clear pools are scattered among the mountains, with Dalongqiu Waterfall hanging like a ribbon in the air and Lingyan Waterfall soaring high in the sky, a breathtaking sight. Every step reveals a new view, a natural landscape painting, truly deserving of the title "Number One Mountain in Southeast China".

如雾亦如露Tianyi Pavilion is not only a library, but also a garden-style architectural complex with beautiful scenery and a relatively quiet atmosphere. It is in no way inferior to the four famous gardens and is a cultural and scenic attraction worth visiting!
