To witness the unparalleled beauty of the Yi and Liang Pavilions, I made a special trip to the Humble Administrator's Garden, the premier garden in Jiangnan, Suzhou. I strolled westward through the garden, only to find a large crowd of fellow enthusiasts, resulting in a 40-minute long, serpentine queue. However, it was absolutely worth it! The aesthetic sense of our ancestors! The 70 RMB entrance fee is quite expensive.

The 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.

Yangzhou City and the Slender West Lake Scenic Area are highly recommended. The scenery is beautiful and pleasant, making it a great place for a family trip. A whole day spent strolling around, stopping to explore, was very enjoyable. A must-visit place in Yangzhou!

Hongshan 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!

📍Suzhou • Hanshan Temple The moon sets, crows caw, frost fills the sky; River maples and fishing lights reflect my sorrowful sleep. Outside Gusu city lies Hanshan Temple; At midnight, the bell tolls to the traveler's boat. My impression of Hanshan Temple probably all comes from this poem, "A Night Mooring at Maple Bridge."

I 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.

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.

The environment is exceptionally nice, with many trees, artificial hills, pavilions, and towers, creating a profound and evocative atmosphere. There's also a fantastic coffee shop with a beautiful view; sitting there and enjoying a cup of coffee when you're tired is a truly delightful experience.

The autumn colors of Suzhou are truly breathtaking, and Tiger Hill's palette of colors is simply irresistible! Intense and profound! [rose emoji] P.S.: Just came here to relax again! [grinning emoji]

This garden is definitely worth visiting. Its ingenious overall design and exquisite landscaping make it worthy of being listed as one of the four most famous gardens in China, alongside the Summer Palace, the Mountain Resort in Chengde, and the Humble Administrator's Garden.
