📝Tips:
There are still many people in the scenic area, and this way up is all climbing. At the entrance of the last courtyard, the casual strength came again, so dinner was booked at Guiyu Mountain House. As soon as there are more tourists, everything looks... sigh😑 Bought a casual coffee, and then walked out the same way, leaving... took a taxi all the way to Yangmei Ridge Village.
🌟Highlights:
Yangmei Ridge Village is located on the south line of the West Lake Scenic Area, and is the source of the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gullies in the Qianjiang Scenic Area. The village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with lush trees and beautiful scenery; the village used to produce a lot of bayberries, and now there are large tea gardens. Choosing this village is purely for a stroll before dinner. I didn't know that walking from the village entrance all the way to Qianlong Road is the entrance to the Jiuxi Scenic Area, Li'an Temple, and Jiuxi Smoke Tree are all on this line; the scenic area has a shuttle bus, which operates according to the timetable, and goes all the way down to the Qiantang River. Next time, next time, I'll come again if I have a chance~
Many friends will leave in a hurry after punching in Lingyin Temple. This is also the consistent route of the tour group. In fact, after Lingyin Temple, there are many niche temples. It is worth everyone to go around. Today, the recommended for everyone is Qiantang's first Fudi Yongfu Temple. Out of the gate of Lingyin Temple, not far to the right, you can see the gate of Yongfu Temple. The area of Yongfu Temple is actually not large, but you will find that you are walking all the way to the mountain. And the scenery also starts from the step by step up the mountain road. The Yongfu Temple in spring is full of flowers, and the Yongfu Temple in autumn is not willing to show weakness. Some leaves that can turn yellow have a gorgeous autumn color, which is different from coming here in spring and summer. It is cooler to come here in autumn. Even if the sun is shining on the face, you will not feel the heat. This is the most comfortable season in the entire Yuhang area. In another month, you will experience a long winter. You must know that Yuhang in winter is actually a bad time to visit Yongfu Temple. It is free. There is also a tea hall halfway up the mountain. If you want to drink tea, friends can order a cup of tea here, quietly in a daze, feel the style of the mountain temple.
