    Yuantouzhu in December is a true gem! It lacked the bleakness of winter I'd imagined, instead possessing a serene beauty. The dawn redwoods along the lake were a vibrant red, sunlight filtering through the leaves creating dappled shadows that were incredibly soothing. The biggest surprise was the red-billed gulls, flocks circling the lake, even flying alongside the boats when we fed them—you could feel the wind from their flapping wings! So graceful! Strolling along the lakeshore, the vast expanse of Taihu Lake, where water and sky merge seamlessly, with only the sounds of wind and gulls, was much quieter than during peak season, making it easy to take photos without having to fight for a spot. The "Orange Sea" at dusk was breathtaking; the setting sun bathed the lake in warm orange hues, and the red-billed gulls skimmed the surface—every snapshot was a masterpiece. The facilities at the scenic area were also thoughtful; the paths were smooth and easy to walk on, and there were even mobile food carts offering snacks. It's definitely worth coming here in December! You can experience the charm of winter in Jiangnan and interact with adorable "winter elves." It's relaxing and pleasant, and I've already recommended it to my friends!

    Some interesting attractions were cancelled, as were the nighttime attractions; the park closes at 5 PM, and this wasn't mentioned when purchasing tickets. The rides are just so-so, typical of all theme parks, nothing special. I won't be coming back.

    To be honest, this attraction isn't very large in terms of area. But though small, it has everything you need. It's very clean, and there are quite a few activities to participate in. This place is best enjoyed at a leisurely pace. The vegetarian noodles at the temple are delicious, and the prices are reasonable. I was lucky enough to encounter a master giving away calligraphy. It was drizzling, and I chatted with the people around me while waiting in line, thinking about what kind of calligraphy I wanted. It was a very rewarding experience.

    🌟Overall Impression This trip to Tiger Hill truly exceeded my expectations! The park environment is fantastic, the ancient architecture is remarkably well-preserved, and every step reveals a charming scene. Strolling along the stone paths, listening to the birdsong and the faint sounds of Suzhou storytelling, I felt completely at peace. It's perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway 😌 ✨Must-Visit Highlights 1. Tiger Hill Pagoda: Seeing this leaning pagoda in person is truly breathtaking. It's incredibly photogenic; every shot looks like a masterpiece of ancient Chinese style! 2. Sword Pool: The pool water is crystal clear and emerald green, surrounded by steep stone walls.

    To capture the tranquil, picturesque Jiangnan landscape of Lingering Garden, it's recommended to arrive before it opens in the morning; we arrived before 7:30. After queuing for a few minutes, we were among the first visitors to enter. As expected of one of China's four most famous gardens, I highly recommend learning about Lingering Garden's history and the best photo spots before your visit.

    Nighttime is better than daytime for boat trips, watching shows, and staying at nearby hotels. There are also many guesthouses in the old town. Since it's weekday season, it's not crowded. The overall experience was quite good.

    It'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.

    Zhouzhuang is surrounded by water on all sides, its town formed by the rivers, its streets along the waterways, and its markets centered around the streets. Major attractions include Fu'an Bridge, Twin Bridges, and the Sunken Hall. Fourteen ancient stone bridges built during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties are well-preserved across its grid-like waterways. Zhouzhuang Ancient Town is a candidate site for World Cultural Heritage status, one of the first batch of National AAAAA-level tourist attractions, and one of the world's ten most beautiful towns.
