The warehouse and service are OK, that is, the designated location of the through train is waiting at 7:20, and the bus picks up people all the way. This is no problem. The most unbearable: after the pick-up, the road conditions are very good, the speed is not more than 60, the tour guide is selling the product all the way without stopping, the ears hurt the brain and the head is also buzzing, half an hour drive, it took 2 hours to get to the pier, Watching other buses one by one exceed, knowing that is the case, I must only buy the ferry tickets, and I drip to the pier.

The ticket timings showing here is only for the park. The main temples and attractions inside the park are closed after 5pm.

Temple of Heaven is located in a public park and it should be noted that all public parks have a small fee to enter. Truly, such a minuscule amount from like $1-$3 at most.&nbsp;

Nice surroundings, beautiful vibe. There are a lot of shopping complex and restaurants nearby. We spent a nice evening there. Must visit.

Jinji Lake

Lakes

I have been to Suzhou many times and visited Jinji Lake for the first time. The first night I came to Suzhou during the Spring Festival holiday, I first saw the &quot;big autumn pants&quot;. The next morning I came to take a boat tour of the lake. From the hotel, I also saw that I could book tickets for Deng Peach Blossom Island at 10:30. I didn&rsquo;t expect to arrive at the scene. It&rsquo;s already sold out. The next one will be 1:30 in the afternoon. I rushed back, so I changed it to 1 o&#39;clock without landing on the island. The overall tour is about 40 minutes, and every attraction will be explained, and I saw the &quot;big autumn pants&quot; at close range.

Nice garden, but unfortunately it was flooded with people when we visited during Autum  holiday. Below my expectations.

The oriental scenery is so be beautiful, not recommended to buy souvenirs inside the garden, i would suggest to somewhere 3pm, then exit at 5.00pm, then wait for night event to see the lighting from 6pm

What I find fascinating about China is that how many majestic Buddhist statues and temples are here in this country. Lingshan Giant Buddha is one of those temples located at the northern bank of Taihu Lake, Wuxi City, Jiangsu province. 🪷📿

The bronze buddha statue here is 88 meters tall which was built in 1997 and is 17 meters taller than Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan. It’s one of the tallest buddha statues in China and also in the world. 

I visited there on the weekend from Shanghai. I took the high speed train from Hongqiao station to Wuxi and then took a direct bus.  In the scenic spot, there were 100s of devotees praying and soaking up the divinely atmosphere. I did the same 😌🙏

One of my best weekend trip! 💕 Just go there 😀
Don’t miss the show.

I went to this restaurant with my friends on the weekend. It has antique Indian decor and the ambiance was enhanced by the Indian music played in the background. 🙏💙 We had vegetarian food which were delicious.

This street is located in downtown Chengdu, famous for its old architectures that dated back to Qing Dynasty. The place is loaded with local chengdu snacks, souvenir shops, restaurants and bars with live music. 🎶🍦🥟🍿🎼

The best time to visit is in the evening, as the decorative lights in the shops and on the street make it look more vibrant. There are many Sichuan hotpot restaurant in this area. It’s worth trying (just don’t forget to buy sweet coconut drink with it) 🥵🔥♥️

As it’s a famous street in chengdu, be prepared for crowd, specially during holidays.

This Sichuan fusion restaurant is near to the CTU airport, Chengdu. 

The ambience of the place is very good including the service. One service girl speaks English, who helped me with my orders.

Must try dishes: iron pot spicy chicken chop and Sichuan pepper drink.🔥😋 They have Sichuan pepper bread too, but I could not try. It was not available that day.

Leshan Giant Buddha, 71 m tall, is the largest Maitreya Buddha in the world which was carved out of a cliff located in Sichuan province, China.  It took three generations to build this magnificent statue in the 8th century. ☀️🙏

The most interesting part of the scenic area is the series of caves where thousands of statues of Buddha and his devotees are stone carved with incredible details. These statues depict Buddhism in China and Southeast Asia🪬 It’s incredibly amazing to see such marvelous human creation. 😍🌎💖

Not to mention it is a UNESCO’s natural & cultural world heritage site.

It’s a fairytale setting. The tranquil nature, the crystal clear turquoise and emerald color lakes, waterfalls and the lush greenery make it an ultimate dreamland landscape.🪽🦄🪽 Perhaps it’s the most beautiful place in China. It’s full of nature, each corner of this valley is a scenic spot. 🤩💕📸

There are 108 lakes in Jiuzhaigou. The beautiful colors of these lakes are due to ferns that grow in the water. It’s an UNESCO site due to its diverse forrest ecosystem, its superb landscape and spectacular waterfalls. Around 140 bird species also inhabit the valley, as well as a number of endangered plant and animals, including the giant panda.🐼

I spent 3 days there. For an in depth exploration it requires one week or so. 

Getting There - either by bus/car or flight from Chengdu. I took the flight as it’s time efficient. 
Attractions - Jiuzhaigou national park 
Hotels - there are many options. I stayed in Hilton garden due to its location. 
Food & Restaurants - try Tibetan hotpot in the Indigo hotel restaurant
Shopping - Not many options. Some small local shops are there.

I stayed for a night in the yurt when I was in Zhangye for the Danxia Geo park aka rainbow mountain. And trust me, you need to stay there too. 

Once I entered the yurt campus, all my tiredness from walking and exploring the mountain during the day disappeared. My mind was hijacked by its unique beauty and calmness.😄😄😄 Plus I was welcomed by a golden retriever 🥰 could not expect more tbh 

Inside the yurt, there was oil heater and electric mattress as temperature drops drastically in the night. There were common bathrooms and toilets outside the yurt, which were clean. The starry night sky was just the icing on the cake 🧁🤩

Breakfast was delicious and unique too. For the first time I tried traditional Tibetan tea with Yak butter. ☺️

Chaka Salt lake is a naturally crystallized saline lake surrounded by snow capped mountains in Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China. It is  located at an altitude of approx 3000m about 300km from Xining.

The combination of the white lake with reflection of the sky in the water, the distant snowy mountain range, the fresh wind makes it a magical place.

I went there in May. It snowed in the evening the day I reached Chaka town while the prediction was 6-12 deg. I carried a puffer jacket for just in case and that saved my life 😄. So, take your jackets no matter which time of the year you decide to visit 🤭

Finding a vegan or vegetarian restaurant in China feels like a quest as there are not many options. After a lot of research in a Chinese app and several screen shot translations, we found this pure vegan restaurant. I went there with my friends on a weekend. The ambiance is simple but elegant. We savor all the dishes. It exceeded our expectations! The manager and stuff were really nice. Highly recommend.
