叮咚🎁666Niushou Mountain is located on Ningdan Avenue, Jiangning District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. It can be visited by tour group, by car, or by public transport, though it's a bit far and taxis are generally hard to find in the morning. However, it's still well worth the visit. I entered and exited from the west gate. The park is large. You can take the park bus directly from the entrance; the fare is 10 yuan. There's a short climb up some steps, but most areas have escalators, so it's not too strenuous. Inside the core Buddha Palace, the skull relic of Shakyamuni Buddha is enshrined on a lotus throne. The shimmering light and shadow create a solemn atmosphere, drawing worshippers and tourists alike to stand in quiet contemplation, feeling the solemn blessing of a thousand years of Buddhist teachings. Outside the palace, verdant peaks rise and fall, with peach blossoms covering the slopes in spring and red maples painting the valleys in autumn. Winding mountain paths meander through the landscape, occasionally accompanied by the babbling of streams. From the top, you can even catch a glimpse of the hazy outline of Nanjing city. The natural beauty and cultural treasures blend together here. Whether you are worshipping Buddha and praying for blessings or exploring secluded spots, you will be immersed in a double shock to your soul and eyes. It is indeed a Zen paradise worth making a special trip for.

E20***69The pavilions and towers of Slender West Lake are beautiful, the Five Pavilion Bridge is eye-catching, and the scenery changes with every step, offering a delightful aesthetic experience. While it's currently autumn with its vibrant leaves, not its peak beauty, one can only imagine how breathtaking Slender West Lake must be in March, when the lake is truly magnificent.

M43***32It was so much fun!!! Definitely worth a visit. I entered from the South Gate, and the subway exit is at Nanjing Railway Station. Make sure to exit from the North Square, not the South Square, otherwise the walking route shown on Gaode Maps will be extremely long. I arrived around 10 AM, and it wasn't too crowded, within a reasonable range. The animals were also quite active. I spent about 5 hours there, which was very tiring, but very fulfilling.

M53***63Hanshan Temple is very famous and a fantastic tourist attraction. It's quaint and charming, quiet and ancient, and attracts many visitors. Fengqiao Bridge, located nearby, is also worth a visit. Highly recommended! A must-see in Suzhou.

Anonymous userWe went after the Spring Festival holiday, and the queues were still long, but much less crowded than during the holiday. The kids wanted to see the red-billed gulls, and after seeing the free ones, they wanted to go to Yuantouzhu (Yuantouzhu Scenic Area), which was spectacular, especially on the way back with the sunset – absolutely stunning. The island itself is also beautiful, with plenty of food and activities, but it was too cold in winter; it's much more beautiful during cherry blossom season. There's a parking lot at the entrance. The day before, because of the holiday, the queues were too long, so we decided against it. The next day, there were fewer cars, so we could drive in ourselves, which was very convenient.
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.
84.7/5M81***32Lion Grove Garden, a classical garden located in Suzhou, is like a dazzling pearl embedded in the picturesque landscape of the Jiangnan water towns. It is not only one of the four most famous gardens in China, but also a gem of Yuan Dynasty garden art, renowned worldwide for its unique rockery landscape.
94.7/5M53***63The autumn colors of Tiger Hill are absolutely stunning, with golden apricot leaves complementing the Tiger Hill Pagoda beautifully. The entire scenic area is quite large; a thorough visit and photo opportunities would take 2-3 hours. It's a must-see attraction in Suzhou, a truly memorable trip, and I highly recommend it.

麦克哈利斯Visiting the Lingering Garden in Suzhou at this time of year coincided with the blooming of ginkgo trees and the vibrant color of maple leaves. The Lingering Garden is already a quintessential example of Suzhou gardens, possessing a unique charm characteristic of Jiangnan gardens. The scenery was even more beautiful when visiting during this season, making for a very enjoyable trip.
