Is there still a place in China during the National Day holiday that is less crowded and has beautiful scenery?

Can we still find a place during the long holiday that has enough beautiful scenery, few enough people, and traffic that is not congested? I would never dare to travel within the country during the National Day holiday in the past, but this time I want to try. After about a month of research, I set my sights on Taihu Lake, especially Huzhou, which I have long wanted to visit. As I was researching, I found out that there is no such place as the ancient town of Huzhou. When people talk about traveling to Huzhou, they are actually referring to a series of ancient towns scattered around the south of Taihu Lake. To meet the aforementioned three conditions, I avoided those well-known popular ancient towns and chose a few that are less known, but highly regarded by the locals. Such ancient towns have a low degree of commercialization, are home to many local natives, and lack flashy neon lights and loud music. That is the true waterside residence in my heart. The first stop in Huzhou was thus set to be Zhenshan Ancient Town, a 2000-year-old human settlement that began to be established during the Tang Dynasty and quickly became the gateway to the Grand Canal from Beijing to Hangzhou. In Zhenshan, I always see the shadow of Venice, with the commercial buildings by the river having warehouses on the lower floors and residences on the upper floors, and the doors facing a private freight dock, neatly parked with several cargo ships. It was only after some research that I found out that this place was also a drainage lake in ancient times, 'first a torrent, then a marsh, and finally a patchwork of fields and lanes'. Although the ancient town is a 4A-level scenic spot, it is not crowded with tourists. The sparse flow of people gives the ancient town a sense of breathability, allowing one to slowly relax. On the second evening at Taihu Lake, it was still a case of seeing clouds but no sun. Although the sun was hiding, it generously provided a sky full of sunset colors. I think this may be the charm of Taihu Lake in autumn. The crisp autumn air makes even the humidity of this great lake compromise a bit, giving a pleasant surprise to the travelers each day.
