My dears👫, today I have to tell you about my wonderful adventure in Phoenix Mountain😎. The Flight of the White Snake just stunned me. This trip was really worth it. I felt like my eyes were about to be filled with the beauty💥 📍Travel Guide: "King Bomb" starts from the beginning🎯 Family members, trust me this time! Starting from Wansong Academy, it is definitely a "king bomb" level choice! Just navigate to Wansong Academy quickly, and parking will be as easy as pie. The parking lot is like a super reliable little follower 😎, helping you solve parking problems steadily 🅿 As soon as you get off the car, wow! Wow, the scene was so lively. The famous Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area - Jieyi Pavilion was just around the corner, and many people were praying devoutly here. [Joyful]Walking slowly along the path beside Jieyi Pavilion🚶, I only took a few steps and hey! An S-shaped sky corridor suddenly appeared before our eyes, as if by magic! That’s right, this is the super popular check-in spot of the "Love Poetry Road" park by the West Lake - "White Snake Flying Crossing" 🌈 From Wansong Academy, it only takes five minutes to run. It is simply a micro hiking route specially customized for those of us who want to go out for a stroll on the weekend~ 😲White Snake Flying, Stunning Debut🌟 Standing at the entrance, "Flying White Snake" is like a naughty ghost who wants to show off. The whole picture suddenly rushes into your field of vision. An S-shaped corridor, as agile as a white snake, twists and turns in the native woods of Phoenix Mountain. I heard that there is a romantic story of Xu Xian and White Snake behind it. The bridge is about 200 meters long. Just take a photo from any angle 📷, the effect is amazing! I feel like I can debut as a supermodel right here and now in the next second👯. Phoenix Mountain niche hiking route 🚵 After visiting the "Love Poetry Road" park, if you have enough time, you must go hiking in Phoenix Mountain and experience the joy brought by the niche route. The altitude of Phoenix Mountain is simply a "small case", less than 200 meters. The Phoenix Pavilion at the top is an excellent viewing spot. Phoenix Pavilion has 2 floors. Climb up to the 2nd floor, wow! You can see a corner of Chenghuang Pavilion Scenic Area, Zhejiang Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall, Hangzhou Revolutionary Martyrs Monument, West Lake Hangzhou and Qiantang River, as if you are holding a super luxurious "scenery party" 🎉. 🌟🌟🌟There are so many options for going down the mountain that you will be dazzled👀. You can follow the route of Phoenix Pavilion - Tiger Cave Site of Southern Song Dynasty Official Kiln - Zhongshan Memorial Forest Stele - Northern City Wall Site of Southern Song Dynasty Imperial City, stroll slowly all the way back to Wansongling Road, and then go to Mantoushan Community and Mantoushan Cultural and Creative Block for a stroll 🎨. You may find some cool treasures like a treasure hunt 🎁. 🌟🌟🌟Or you can follow the route of Phoenix Pavilion - Pai Ya Stone Poetry Carving - Moon Rock - Qiyun Temple on the White Pagoda Forest in Hangzhou - Ancient Brahma Temple - Songyun Cultural Park - Southern Song Dynasty Imperial City Ruins. This route is like traveling back to ancient times in a time machine🕰, and the strong historical flavor is everywhere📜. 🌟🌟🌟There is also a third route, which is to hike down from the Phoenix Pavilion to the Jade Emperor Mountain Scenic Area, to visit the Old Jade Emperor Palace, Fuxing Temple, Zilai Cave and other super famous Taoist cultural attractions, and feel a different mysterious cultural atmosphere🧘. Maybe you will be lucky enough to meet some "immortal cultivation" masters who look like they came out of a fairy tale drama🧙.

On a full moon night, at a certain time, the moonlight will pass through a round hole in the rock and reflect on the opposite pool, so that a bright moon will appear in the sky, on the rock and in the pool, forming a wonderful scene of "the moon enters through the hole, and the jade mirror rotates underground". 2️⃣ Shengguo Temple Ruins, Shengguo Temple Ruins has many ancient sites, including the Western Three Saints and Eighteen Arhats carved by Qian Liu of the Wuyue Kingdom, and the cliff stone carving of "Loyalty" written by Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty to the Imperial Forest Army. 3️⃣ Wansong Academy, Wansong Academy is famous as the highest academy in Zhejiang during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, where not only the story of "Liang Zhu" (and the famous dating place), but also many ancient sites are left. - 🔔Note: 1️⃣ There are no public toilets or supplies on the way up the mountain, so you need to be prepared. 2️⃣ There are many steps along the way, some wild roads and paved roads, so you need to pay attention to safety. 3️⃣ There are many mosquitoes in the mountain, so you can bring some mosquito repellent.

And the orange OOTD shot in Phoenix Mountain, Hangzhou a month ago, turned to a surprise and passed a season. There is still a pile of pending images in the hard disk, seeing new friends that old friends have met, grateful for the surprises and reminders of life everywhere, and the best stories are left behind. There are still a lot of important things to accomplish, open the calendar and write a month's arrangement, stuffing the next month, tightly and no longer anxious, and the heart is full. I hope that good things will happen naturally~
