The water is like flying pearls and splashing jade, and the sound is like thunder and waves, shaking the mountains and the earth, which is spectacular.

West Lake Scenic Area is the core of Hangzhou's landscape, surrounded by mountains on three sides and the city on the other. The Su Causeway and Bai Causeway stretch across the lake, dividing it into several smaller sections. The most exquisite sights around the lake are undoubtedly the "Ten Scenes of West Lake" passed down from the Southern Song Dynasty. Including the later "New Ten Scenes of West Lake" and the "Three Appraisals of the Ten Scenes of West Lake," hundreds of scenic spots unfold along the lakeshore and mountains. Pavilions, temples, pagodas, gardens, islands, and distant mountains and nearby waters complement each other. The legend of the Broken Bridge, where the White Snake and Xu Xian met, adds a touch of history to the lake and mountains. There's no need to insist on visiting every single spot; simply strolling along a stretch of the lakeshore is enough to bring you bliss. You can explore West Lake by walking, cycling, taking a sightseeing electric cart around the lake, or by boat. The electric cart route circles the entire lake, saving you energy and making it convenient. cycling along the lake is leisurely and romantic, and there are many public bicycle rental points along the shore. If you want to take a boat, there are several docks along the lake offering different types of boats and routes. It is highly recommended to take a boat to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon in the center of the lake and enjoy the lake views from the boat. Alternatively, you can hire a rowboat on the lake shore and have a boatman row you around the lake, which is more free and flexible. The attractions on the north bank are concentrated. A typical starting point is the Broken Bridge in the northeast corner, walking along the Bai Causeway to Gushan Island. Along the way, you can see cultural landmarks such as the Xiling Seal Society, Zhejiang Provincial Museum, China Seal Art Museum, and the Fanghe Pavilion in Zhongshan Park. Enjoy a bowl of authentic West Lake Vinegar Fish at Lou Wai Lou restaurant, then cross the Xiling Bridge to Yue Fei Temple and Quyuan Fenghe. In the summer, when the sun is strong, consider taking the North Mountain Road instead, finding shade under the dense trees to admire the curves of the Broken Bridge and the swaying willows on the Bai Causeway. There are many entrances along the way to Baoshi Mountain for panoramic views. The "Most Memorable is Hangzhou" live performance on Yue Lake in the evening is also worth seeing. If you have enough time and energy, you can also walk along the Su Causeway from the Yue Fei Temple area for a complete walk and a panoramic view of West Lake. The area along the southeastern shore, from Hubin Road to Nanshan Road, is another densely populated area of ​​attractions. Hubin Road is located at the junction of the city center and the attraction area, adjacent to the city's commercial district, making it suitable for tourists with limited time to stop briefly. The lakeside also features a landmark musical fountain and a cruise dock. Walking south along Nanshan Road from Hubin Road, you'll find attractions like Liulang Wenying (Listening to Orioles Singing in the Willows), the Long Bridge, Leifeng Pagoda, and Nanping Evening Bell, all lined up along the way. Further west is Huagang Guanyu (Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor). It's convenient to walk or take a tour bus between these adjacent attractions, allowing you to choose which ones to visit based on your preferences. Leifeng Pagoda and Nanping Evening Bell are best visited in the evening; listening to the bell at Jingci Temple and climbing Leifeng Pagoda to overlook the lake and mountains at dusk are both excellent experiences.China · Hangzhou

The scenic area is well-planned, and the downhill path wasn't too tiring. I finished the walk in about an hour and a half with minimal stops. The first waterfall was the most beautiful, the second waterfall, passing through the Water Curtain Cave, was quite interesting, but the third waterfall was just average.

This was my second visit to Tongling Mountain, and the scenery was as beautiful as ever. Its biggest feature is its waterscape, which is crystal clear and the potholes are particularly unique! However, I must complain about the current tour route. The newly opened walking trail has moved south, significantly increasing the number of steps and taking us further away from the core scenic area. At my leisurely pace, it took me 65 minutes to walk from the ticket gate to the 21-degree viewing platform, during which time there were no particularly noteworthy views. The original wooden boardwalk was much more practical, shorter, and led directly to the core scenic area. My suggestion to the scenic area is to consider making the current exit the entrance, allowing visitors to easily explore from top to bottom, and then take a bus back to the visitor center from the south gate, or to build a new sightseeing cable car at the south gate. If the tour route is optimized, I believe this scenic area will attract a large number of tourists. Personally, I think Tongling Mountain's scenic elements and overall effect are superior to Wencheng's other top attraction, Baizhangji. Looking forward to a third visit after optimization!

The entire temple has a quiet environment, magnificent regulations, simple style and solemn artistic conception. Both the design style and architectural construction are extremely "imperial" style. It can be said to be a culmination of Ming and Qing architectural technology and art. What is even more rare is that the Liu Ji Temple has been basically preserved intact to this day. It is the most research-worthy Ming Dynasty wooden structure complex in southern Zhejiang and is listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in my country.

My second visit to West Lake was great; the boat tour was excellent. The dock was easy to find, the staff were very friendly, provided clear explanations, and helped with any issues. There were also sightseeing buses, which were nice but a bit pricey. Taking the boat tour and then walking around was both perfectly fine.

Anfu Temple of Tiansheng Mountain is built on the mountainside, with an elegant environment. It originally had a mountain gate, Vajra Hall, Mahavira Hall, Square Hall, monks' quarters and dozens of rooms. It has experienced several ups and downs in history. It was originally a holy place for Buddhist pilgrimage and a treasure place for Zen meditation and health preservation. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, noble scholars and celebrities also liked to gather here, chanting and writing poems that were widely praised. The surrounding scenery of Anfu Temple is beautiful. It is adjacent to the most famous tourist attraction "Baizhang Waterfall" in Wencheng County to the east, the largest freshwater lake "Feiyun Lake" in southern Zhejiang to the south, the national forest park "Tongling Mountain" to the west, and the national scenic spot "Liu Ji's Hometown" to the north. The geographical location is unique.
