Anonymous userThe scenery is beautiful. There are two routes to the top: one is to take a scenic shuttle bus directly to the summit, and the other is to hike. We hiked up and took the shuttle bus down. The hike offers stunning views, especially beautiful in autumn. You can pass by places like the Buddha's Peak Temple, but there are many steps, so bring a hiking stick. The Buddha's Peak Temple is magnificent and attracts many people taking photos inside and out, making it easy to get great shots.

E00***27Why is Slender West Lake so slender? Is the Twenty-Four Bridges a single bridge or 24 bridges? During my trip to Yangzhou, I found the answers. It turns out that Slender West Lake is a miniature version of West Lake. Slender West Lake is incredibly beautiful. Yangzhou will always be my hometown.

M23***77Hongshan Zoo was quite fun. It's very different from Shanghai Zoo. Most of the animals were healthy and chubby. I saw many monkey species I'd never seen before, and even a white tiger! I was so happy!

64.6/5_We***73I went at the end of November. There were seagulls, which was nice, but the environment was just average. The boat ticket seemed a bit expensive, even though it wasn't a very long distance. The island had an incredible number of water mosquitoes, swarming everywhere.
74.6/5Anonymous userSome 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.

104.7/5M27***06Lingering Garden is known for its "small but beautiful landscapes, with many scenic spots within a small space." Pavilions and terraces are reflected in the clear water, strange peaks and rocks hide tranquility, and plaques and couplets contain profound meaning. Strolling through it, one can fully appreciate the elegance and charm of Jiangnan gardens.
