Recently went to the West Lake scenic area, it really was crowded. Having lived in Hangzhou for 14 years I want to say that the beauty of Hangzhou is far more than just West Lake There are various large and small free scenic spots It really is the ceiling of domestic travel! - I've organized 13 places suitable for spring visits, all very much like a green wonderland - 1️⃣ Ten-mile Langdang From the "Ten-mile Langdang" archway in Longjing Village, you can overlook the tea mountains and West Lake, a tender green before Qingming Festival. 2️⃣ Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gullies A small forest in the city, with streams and greenery along the way, suitable for oxygenating walks, very comfortable. 3️⃣ Hupao Park A less popular park, a green secret spot, where you can bring an empty bottle to fill with authentic Hupao spring water. 4️⃣ Solitary Hill Although it's in the core area of West Lake, it's peaceful amidst the noise.

Seeking the gradient colors of Hangzhou in November

I didn't have the chance to experience the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou during the Asian Games, but I found stunning gradient colors in Hangzhou at the end of November. I've been to Hangzhou many times, and in the past, it was more about nostalgia, missing everything about my school days. Every time I went there, I would stroll along the route I used to take, reminiscing about the 151 tram on Yan'an Road. With two braids trailing behind me, occasionally a braid would come loose, the driver would get off the bus, pull the wire a few times, align it with the track, and then continue driving. This time, I was more in search of beautiful scenery. Hangzhou at the end of November was like a knocked-over palette. Cycling on the road from Lingyin to Beishan Street, the sunlight filtered through the dense leaves, and the golden plane tree leaves slowly fell with the wind. All worries can be put aside for the moment, and there is an irresistible urge to shout out loud. It's really too comfortable. From Jiuxi Yanshu to Lingyin Yongfu Zen Temple, then to Xiling Bridge and Bai Causeway, along Nanshan Road from Taiziwan to Huagang Guanyu, the golden or earthy yellow leaves are interspersed with red Japanese maples, reflected on the water surface, it's hard not to feel that the people of Hangzhou are fortunate.

Jiuxi 18 Stream is amazing 🌿

The crystal-clear waters and lush surroundings of Jiuxi 18 Stream offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. If you are visiting this place for the first time, I recommend this 2-hour trail route. 🚌 How to get there? The parking lot is usually crodwd, so it is recommended to take bus or taxi to Jiuxi Station. 🗺️ Route: Jiuxi (bus station) -> Linhai Kiosk (林海亭) -> Jiuxi Yan Shu (九溪烟树) -> Yangmei Ling (杨梅岭) -> Man Jue Long (满觉陇) Tips: If you turn left at Jiuxi Yan Shu, you'll see the Longjing Village (龙井村), which is famous for the Longjing tea.

Jiuxi Yanshu hiking, with super practical guide! Come and save it!

Let me share with you my hiking experience in Jiuxi Yanshu, and super practical routes and guides, hope it can help you 😎 I started from Jiuxi Bus Station, and as soon as I got off the bus, I could feel the fresh and natural atmosphere coming to me, and I instantly felt refreshed 🤩 Walking along Jiuxi Road, there are lush trees on both sides of the road, and it feels like walking into a green corridor, so cool and comfortable. As you walk, you will pass several streams, the water is so clear that you can clearly see the stones and small fish at the bottom 🐟 Don't rush to the road at this time, find a flat place by the stream, sit down and rest your feet, put your feet in the stream and soak, wow, the cool feeling, instantly drive away the fatigue of hiking, super comfortable 😜 Then continue to walk forward, and soon you will see large tea gardens, the tea trees are neat and tidy, and they look particularly eye-catching. Walking in the tea garden, smelling the faint tea fragrance, I feel that I am almost "marinated" by the tea fragrance, haha 😄 Taking pictures is also particularly beautiful, you can take a picture as wallpaper, don't miss such a beautiful photo spot when you go 📷 Further on, the focus is on Jiuxi Yanshu! When the picturesque scenery appeared in front of me, I was really amazed 😍 The red and yellow leaves are reflected in the green lake water, like a colorful oil painting, so beautiful. Nearby, you can walk slowly along the lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery from all angles, and you can't get enough of it. After visiting Jiuxi Yanshu, if you still have energy, you can continue to walk to Yangmeiling, and you will see a different scenery along the way, you can see many ancient houses, and feel the unique charm of Jiangnan. Here are some of my little tips: 1. Dress: Be sure to wear comfortable sneakers, after all, the hiking journey is not short, if you wear uncomfortable shoes, your feet will suffer 😭 Also, it is best to wear long pants, there may be mosquitoes in the grass on the side of the road. 2. Time arrangement: It is recommended to leave early, so that the time is more abundant, you can slowly enjoy the scenery, and you don't have to worry about going back too late and inconvenient. I think it's quite appropriate to start around nine or ten in the morning 🤗 3. Bring food and drink: Although there are some small shops along the way, it is convenient to bring some water and snacks, and replenish energy at any time when you are tired 😏 For example, bring some chocolate, small bread and the like. Jiuxi Yanshu is really worth going for a hike, the scenery is good, the air is fresh, I believe you will love it when you go 💕 You can also ask me if you have any questions, I hope you all have a great hiking experience 😘

I love this late autumn hiking route in Hangzhou more than West Lake.

We come to Jiuxi for hiking many times every late autumn. The autumn is strong, with mountains, water, tea gardens, and fiery red maples. ✔️I recommend 2 hiking routes that we often take, which are easy and family-friendly: ① Jiuxi Bus Station → Jiuxi Yanshu → Longjing Village ② Jiuxi Bus Station → Jiuxi Yanshu → Lian Temple → Yangmeiling Village → Manjuelong No. 75 (popular soup house) → Shiwudong 🚌Transportation: Since the starting point and the ending point are not in the same place, it is recommended to take public transportation. 🚇Take the subway to "Shuichengqiao" Station, Exit B (next to the bus station) and transfer to the bus to Jiuxi Bus Station; →Take a taxi to "Shuichengqiao" subway station after arriving at the destination. PS: You can also take a bus to the subway station, but it is more complicated. 🍁Attractions along the way: ① Jiuxi Shibajian: The maple trees here grow along the stream and are reflected in the stream, giving a strong oil painting feel. The stream flows slowly, with red and yellow leaves floating in it, colorful and pleasant to walk and see. ② Jiuxi Yanshu: In autumn, the maple trees in the mountain stream turn a sunset-like red, which is very beautiful when reflected in the water. ③ Longjing Village: In autumn, the tea gardens and the surrounding maple trees complement each other, creating a very artistic atmosphere. ④ China National Tea Museum Longjing Branch: Located on Manjuelong Road, it overlooks West Lake to the east and tea gardens to the west. The flowers, plants, and trees in the museum are colorful in autumn, making it a great place to enjoy the autumn. ⑤ Lian Temple: Located next to the ancient road of Yangmeiling Village in Jiuxi Scenic Area, Hangzhou. It was formerly known as Yongquan Zen Temple, and is also known as Fayusi because of the "Fayu Spring" in the temple, which is as famous as the Hupao Spring. It is now a place for tea brewing, and the red maple at the entrance is very beautiful, so you can go and check in. ⚠️Best time to see the autumn scenery of Jiuxi: Picture 9 is from November 26 last year, and the other pictures are from December 2 last year, and the time is estimated to be about the same this year. So save the guide first and go again in early December. →More family-friendly hiking routes can be found in my homepage collection "Hangzhou Hiking & Hiking & Cycling," →I will continue to share beautiful and fun autumn hiking routes in Hangzhou in the next article, see you in the next article～❤️

Have breakfast in the courtyard, play with the cats, and then go back to your room to enjoy some tea and sunshine on the balcony.

Hiking from Manjuelong to Jiuxi Yanshu

In the morning, I toured West Lake, and had lunch at Manjuelong at noon. Manjuelong is lined with guesthouses and small restaurants. Entering a small road next to No. 75, you can see the legendary 'Soup House', and there is also a tea mountain here. Returning to Manjuelong Road and continuing forward, then turning towards Yangmeiling, passing through Yangjiashan leads to the Jiuxi Scenic Area. Then, I walked all the way to Jiuxi Yanshu, and finally took the bus from Jiuxi Bus Station back to Leifeng Pagoda. There were too many people at Leifeng Pagoda, and I didn't want to spend money to see the crowd, so I walked to Jingci Temple opposite. The ticket was 10 yuan, and I went in to offer three incense sticks. Walking to the higher ground at the back, you can see Leifeng Pagoda.

Go to Jiuxi for oxygen absorption, a recommended hiking spot and water play paradise

How can Hangzhou's summer be without the cool retreat of Jiuxi? Due to the long and narrow valley, lush vegetation, and thick water vapor, the temperature in the entire scenic area is several degrees lower than outside: ✅Ways to play: 1. Stream tracing and water play 🔹After entering the scenic area, there are many small streams along the way. You can choose a less crowded spot to enjoy the fun of wading. 🔹The stream bed is flat, and the water flow is gentle, making it suitable for children to play in the water. Bringing a few water guns will add more fun. 2. Light hiking 🔹Walk from south to north along Qianlong Road into the depths of Jiuxi. Tea gardens are arranged on both sides of the road, with lush greenery and fresh air. The high content of negative ions makes it like a "natural oxygen bar". 🔹Most of the hiking routes are shaded by trees, so you don't have to worry about getting sunburned or the journey being too strenuous. 3. Camping 🔹You can camp in the open spaces between the woods and enjoy afternoon tea while the kids play in the water nearby. 🔹There are also designated camping areas within the scenic area, such as Jiuxi Jianxie, located next to the Jiulongyuan sightseeing car station, and Jiuxi First Stream (next to Xizhongxi Hotel). 4. Sightseeing car: 🔹Those who don't want to walk can choose to take the sightseeing car into the scenic area. 🔹The one-way route is 2.8 km, with four stops: Millennium Hotel (starting station, near the scenic area entrance), Jiulongyuan, Jiuxi Yanshu, and Yangmeiling Village Entrance. It operates on a "wave to stop" service, and tickets are sold on board. 🔹The fare is 5 yuan per person for one stop, 8 yuan per person for two stops, and 12 yuan per person for three stops. 5. Classic photo spots🌟 🔹Jiuxi Small Waterfall is a must-see photo spot. 📍Transportation: From Hangzhou East Station, take Metro Line 4 to Shuichengqiao Station, then transfer to Bus 308. After one stop, you will arrive at Jiuxi Station. 💌Tips: 1. There are many mosquitoes, so remember to bring mosquito repellent. 2. For those playing in the water, remember to bring water guns, slippers (there may be glass shards or algae in the water), and a change of clothes. The scenic area toilets have places for washing feet and changing clothes. 3. Travel responsibly and take your trash with you. 4. During the summer, there are large crowds and few parking spaces in the scenic area. It is recommended to travel green, take the bus to Jiuxi Bus Station, and then walk or take the sightseeing car to tour the area.

Hangzhou Jiuxi | Take a deep breath of oxygen in the mountains

✅ Hiking Route: Jiuxi Hiking ✔The most beautiful season of the year✔No need to climb mountains, very relaxing✔Wild and free ✅ Hiking Data: Route: Jiuxi Station — Linhai Pavilion — Jiuxi Yanshu — Lian Temple — Jiuxi Yanshu — Jiu Hong Pavilion — Longjing Village ✅ Hiking Suggestions (Key Points): 1. Focus on the essentials. Jiuxi is a capital Y-shaped structure. It's time-consuming and unnecessary to walk the whole route. The most core scenic area is here at Jiuxi Yanshu. 2. Route design. After arriving at Jiuxi Yanshu, the core scenic spot, you will find a three-way intersection. One leads to Lian Temple to Yangmeiling Village, and the other to Longjing Village. I suggest visiting Lian Temple first, then returning to Jiuxi Yanshu, and finally walking the path from Jiuxi Yanshu to Longjing Village. 3. Time management. Be sure to get up early, I suggest coming early in the morning, when Jiuxi is less crowded!

A new chapter of hiking in the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gullies cleanses your soul

Take a leisurely walk through the Nine Creeks Smoke Trees during the weekend holidays, and enjoy the autumn scenery on a hiking trip. Recently, taking advantage of the leisure time during the weekend, I embarked on a hiking trip to the Nine Creeks Smoke Trees. The weather in September is cool and pleasant, making it a great time to travel. Upon reaching the Nine Creeks Smoke Trees, I was greeted by the shade of green trees and the babbling of the stream, a sight too beautiful to describe. Our itinerary was quite fulfilling. At 10:30 in the morning, we arrived at the entrance of the Nine Creeks Smoke Trees and began our hiking journey. Walking along the winding path, we could occasionally hear the chirping of birds and the gurgling of the stream, as if we were in a landscape painting. About an hour later, we reached Longjing Village. The environment here is serene and elegant, with the fragrance of tea pervading the air. We tasted the local Longjing tea, as well as small wontons and a special 'Pian Er' soup (noodles), which were delicious and left a lasting impression. After lunch, we took a short rest before starting our ascent up the mountain. The mountain road ahead was quite steep, with a long flight of stairs that we needed to climb. Although it was somewhat strenuous, the scenery along the way was captivating. After about 30 minutes of climbing, we finally reached the summit. Standing at the top of the mountain and looking around, we saw mountains stretching into the distance, shrouded in mist, as if we were in a fairyland. We thoroughly enjoyed the view, took photos to commemorate the moment, and felt the magical charm of nature. The descent was much easier, and we returned along the same path, admiring the beauty of the Nine Creeks Smoke Trees along the way. In the evening, we concluded our hiking trip and returned home with wonderful memories. This hiking trip to the Nine Creeks Smoke Trees made me appreciate the beauty and magic of nature. In the midst of a busy life, it's worth taking the time to step into nature, feel its charm, and allow your soul to relax and be purified. Plan and layout your travel route
