Like many ancient towns in China, Nanxun is quite commercialized. Houses are beautiful, many are restaurants now but there are still people living in this town. The rivers, or should I say canals, extend through the whole town. You can walk everywhere but I strongly suggest a boat ride with the awning boats. I went to this town during the plum rains season, not ideal if you hate rains, but perfect if you really want to experience the “misty Jiangnan”, a well-known poetic depiction of the views in the old towns in the south side of the Yangtze river. Basically it is a Venice with mist and oriental features. Although you can walk everywhere but I strongly suggest to get on one of those famous awning boats to have to full experience. The local cuisine is also well-known in this area. River shrimps are small (as they are supposed to be) and the white fish has many fishbones (really a lot). I liked it a lot but it is probably not for everyone.

Wuzhen water town, is a beautiful ancient restored n renovated town , with canals flows through the town. It's a must visit when u r in Hangzhou. Go in the evening , expect a minimum of 3 hours strolling.

What a beautiful lake to walk and relax. You can also take the boat hopping to different pit stops and enjoy the scenary around. Good numbers of restaurants and cafes for you to hang out. Mainly Chinese tourists touring here and all are in orderly fashion. Overall it is a must visit place whenever you are in HangZhou.

Beautiful place, the closest mountain to Shanghai. And also a place with lots of history.

Breathtaking ancient temple! Founded in 326AD with 1,700 years of history, one of China's ten most famous Buddhist temples. Nestled in lush Wulin Mountains, truly lives up to "Temple of the Soul's Retreat". Impressive entrance hall and heavenly king statues. Deeply serene experience!

Pleasant park with lots of walking paths. Plenty of small restaurants within the park boundary. We stayed overnight at a charming hotel called the Xixi Fan Yuan Hotel (凡云酒店） which was walking distance to a museum, a “walking street” with eateries and arts and craft shops.

Amazing 😍

Not good experience, but was good location and nice view

Qiandao Lake (simplified Chinese: 千岛湖; traditional Chinese: 千島湖; pinyin: Qiāndǎo Hú; lit. 'Thousand Island Lake') is a man-made freshwater lake located in Chun'an County, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, that was formed after the completion of the Xin'an River hydroelectric station in 1959.

Amazing place in China

Xihai Hotel Huangshan offers spectacular views of the mountains. we stayed there for 4 consecutive nights as we wanted to cover as many trails as possible. our room is in A wing and has a walk out balcony. it is comfortable and clean. towels and bedding are white and soft. we had all our meals at the Hotel restaurant. the food is tasty. ingredient fresh with many choices. Staff is friendly and professional. highly recommend.

This little city is amazing. It is a must stop if you're the type to want to visit the less obvious tourist places. If you happen to be in Shanghai of course see the tower, the Bund and the zoo, but if you have a day go to Chenkan. It is an old place, tight quirky and full to the brim with hand crafted masterpieces. The old houses are impressive, the old temple with the old paintings, yes it could or should be restored but even so, must see. Also, if you're into wooden trinkets, the master craftsmen do them on the spot and you'll only whish to have a bigger suitcase to buy all you can find there for a crazy low price. Helpfully there are stores selling luggage, gotta love the trader spirit. Must go, no question

The Hongcun village was probably one of the more scenic ancient towns. It felt a bit more commercial but that wasn’t a bad thing for tourists. Food was available nearby and amenities were mostly available. Didn’t enjoy this as much as Xidi, maybe because here a little later but it’s a great place that with a guide - it helps to bring the storied past to life.

Sanqing Mountain named after 3 peaks, Yujing, Yuxu & Yuhua which are steep & towering is like 3 pure mountains sitting on at top . Our Guide told us Yujing Peak is the highest with an altitude of 1,816.9 meters.. Directory signages and information boards are well displayed for visitors. From the concrete walkway, we can see the mountains in the distance, with strange peaks and rugged rocks, as well as wonders of nature. Every flora & fauna has a information board displayed.!! After an hour walk , we arrived at the edge of Nanqing Garden. We need to climb 600 steps up, for a scenic view of several granite peaks formed more than one billion years ago by geological evolution. However for those who prefers not to climb up to the top, bamboo carrier chair by workers at a fee is available. These strange peaks and rocks are unique feature of Sanqing Mountain in Nanqing Garden. The giant python looks like breaking out of the mountain and wanting to fly into the sky. The Oriental Goddess, beautiful and simple, is like a goddess sitting on the mountain, silently watching all living beings, with a peaceful expression. The hard stone peak presents a plump and soft shape. There were some tents who camp overnight at the peak terrace to view sunrise, sunset and sea of clouds. Our Guide said those views of Strange peaks & rocks, ancient trees & flowers, flowing springs & waterfalls, and sea of clouds & fog waves are well known as the four natural wonders of Sanqing Mountain. Do wear comfortable shoes for this sightseeing, be fully aware whats ahead of you walking within the walkway, like they always said in Chinese…“抬头看树，低头看路”(look up for trees, look down for road). Nevertheless, despite the “breathtaking” walks, Sanqing Mountain is indeed a spectacular and unique China’s 5A level tourist destination !!!!

The Tengwang Pavilion stands as a majestic testament to ancient Chinese architecture and artistry. Its intricate design, with layers of gracefully curved eaves and vibrant colors, immediately captivates the eye. The pavilion's history is as rich as its appearance, steeped in tales of emperors, poets, and scholars. Ascending to the top floor is an experience in itself. The panoramic view is breathtaking, offering a stunning vista of the Gan River and the surrounding cityscape. The atmosphere is refreshingly invigorating, with a gentle breeze that carries the scent of the river and the whispers of history. Visiting the Tengwang Pavilion is like stepping back in time, a chance to appreciate the beauty of a bygone era while enjoying the tranquility of the present. It's a must-see for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Chinese culture and heritage. ✨Credits to a wonderful Chinese friend of mine✨
