Taking the cable car up and down the mountain can save a lot of energy for sightseeing, it's definitely a blessing for the lazy! After getting off the cable car, a wonderful romantic journey begins! 1⃣️1314 steps. There are many rest areas in between, hold your loved one's hand and set off bravely! 2⃣️A letter from the sky. A white rectangular frame, whether sitting, standing, or lying down, freeze yourself and the star-studded Xianhu Island, and send it to a better future self! 3⃣️The little flying house with colorful balloons. A fairy-tale colored little house stands on the edge of the cliff, gently push open the doors and windows, as if opening a colorful fairy tale world! 4⃣️Pink beach. Who doesn't have a pink girlish heart! On the pink beach, there are coconut trees, beach loungers, and moon swings, walk barefoot over, and experience a different beach style! 5⃣️Cliff swing.

At an altitude of 520.1314 meters, it's the world's largest glass-bottomed viewing platform! It's also the pinnacle of the scenic area! Walking on it, feel the vibration of the wind, the visual impact of looking down through the void, and take in the beautiful scenery of the entire Xianhu Lake!

About accommodation🏠 Before the trip, I found a newly opened homestay, Shanju Qiuming, which is very close to the scenic area, about a 5-minute drive. The style of the homestay is the new Chinese and wild luxury wabi-sabi resort style that I recently like, each room has an independent small courtyard, quiet and tranquil. Some rooms can even take a hot spring bath in winter, which sounds very comfortable. 🏠: Shanju Qiuming Homestay 📍: Next to the Village Committee of Gaoshan Village, Wangying Town, Yangxin County, Huangshi City, Hubei Province Precautions: 1⃣️You can choose to return the same way when going down the mountain, but you will miss the joy of the shouting spring and the beauty of the bamboo forest. 2⃣️Friends who bring drones should act according to their abilities, as the wind speed on the mountain is high, fly cautiously!

The first time I learned about Yellowstone Magnetic Lake was just last night, as our travel route was passing through Yellowstone. The original plan was to visit the City in the Sky, but my companions, tired from the numerous hikes and cable car rides on this trip, didn't want to climb mountains or take cable cars anymore. So, I started looking for other scenic spots to visit. By chance, I discovered that Yellowstone also has a Magnetic Lake, which rivals the scenic beauty of Hangzhou's West Lake, and it's even located right next to Hangzhou East Road... We drove straight to Magnetic Lake and walked along Hangzhou Road to visit. There weren't many tourists, the water quality was decent, and there were many small islands. One of the more famous islands is 'Cheng Yue Island,' connected to the mainland by a small bridge; the lake is vast, and it is said that walking around Magnetic Lake is about 40 kilometers. Hangzhou East Road crosses Magnetic Lake... Legend has it that the name 'Magnetic Lake' comes from the abundance of magnetite...
