12.9live Autumn at Hupao Park is stunning, making it the top choice for autumn sightseeing.

Hupao Park is a must-visit. In my opinion, Hupao Park is the best park in Hangzhou, a place worth visiting in all four seasons. I visit five or six times a year. It not only boasts beautiful mountains and rivers, but also integrates spring culture, tea culture, Buddhist culture, and celebrity culture, making it full of cultural atmosphere. However, it may be too classic, so there are not many tourists. But this year, Hupao Park has become popular! There are many people on weekends! It is recommended to go early on weekends, or better yet, on weekday mornings. The park opens at 7:00! After entering the antique gate, a deep path leads straight to the distance, and on the right is a stream, with towering metasequoia trees on the bank that are now golden. The first time Master Hongyi came to Hupao Temple, he was probably deeply attracted by such scenery, which gave rise to the idea of fasting and becoming a monk. Attractions: Hupao Dream Spring, Li Shutong Memorial Hall, Dinghui Zen Temple, and various tea rooms. It is recommended to visit counterclockwise. When you reach the pond, go up the steps on the right, to the Drum Tower, Guanyin Hall, the internet-famous tree with a large teapot, Jigong Pagoda, Yudai Pavilion, Li Shutong Memorial Hall, and the pond. It is recommended to go to Hupao Park early, as the light is poor after 3:00 pm. Tickets: CNY 15, free with a park card. Reservations can be made at the entrance. Opening hours: 7:00–17:30 Transportation tips: There is heavy traffic on Hupao Road all year round. The nearest subway station is Shuichengqiao Station, 2.4 km away by bike.
