Didi carries autumn into West Lake! The fragrant card hides warmth, an autumn feast awaits you

Autumn in Hangzhou is quietly arriving wrapped in the scent of osmanthus🌾. The upcoming limited-time autumn scenery by West Lake, once missed, you’ll have to wait a whole year to see again🍂! Last week, I specially went to West Lake to explore autumn early. As soon as I got into the Didi, a little surprise touched my heart💘! Although Hangzhou has just entered autumn, the Didi cabin was already filled with the taste of autumn from afar—a pine-scented card quietly placed in the car, with a fresh woody fragrance wafting through the air, exquisitely crafted so you can spin and play with it✨. As I turned the card, my thoughts instantly flew into the autumn of the Greater Khingan Mountains, as if a landscape of golden yellows and crimson reds was unfolding before my eyes🍃. Even more heartwarming, when I got off, the driver smiled and handed me the card. This small gift carrying the northern autumn spirit filled the entire journey with warmth~ 🚶 West Lake autumn walking route, every step filled with autumn charm Jiuyue Mountain → Prince Bay → Nanshan Road → Flower Harbor Viewing Fish → Guozhuang → Quyuan Fenghe → Xiling Bridge → Gushan → Green Water Lotus Following this route around West Lake, you can slowly “collect” the autumn scenery on both shores—from the early autumn colors of Jiuyue Mountain’s layered forests🍁, to the yellowing plane trees on Nanshan Road, and then to the poetic autumn waves at Xiling Bridge💧. Every step hides a different kind of autumn romance, making a whole day’s stroll feel endlessly delightful~ ⚠️ Thoughtful tips for enjoying autumn at West Lake - ✔ Don’t choose the wrong viewing spot! If you want to catch a gentle sunrise, go to the south shore of West Lake, where the morning sunlight sparkles on the water, super healing☀️; if you want to wait for a romantic sunset, the north shore of West Lake is the perfect choice, where the sunset dyes the lake orange-red, so beautiful you can’t look away🌇. - ✔ The autumn atmosphere at West Lake is still slowly brewing. Wait a little longer, and the maple leaves and ginkgo will turn even redder and yellower🍂. Just thinking about this year’s autumn scenery already fills people with anticipation, eager to rush to this autumn rendezvous!
