As a national-level tourist resort area, Huzhou Taihu Lake Tourist Resort Area integrates natural scenery and cultural landscapes, providing a wealth of tourism options.

Moon Bay (Taihu Moon Bay) is the core scenic area of ​​the South Taihu New Area in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, and a landmark section of the national-level Taihu Lake Tourism Resort. Shape: A 100-meter-high, 116-meter-wide circular building, jokingly referred to by netizens as a "toilet seat." Status: China's first platinum seven-star hotel on the water, it is the visual center of Moon Bay. Night View: The dazzling lights after nightfall, reflecting beautifully in the Taihu Lake, make it a must-see attraction.

The scenery was nice, and the guides on the shuttle bus were very attentive. Cats and dogs had to be placed in cages to board, and on the return trip on the mini-train, small animals weren't allowed because they were already in cages and the safety risks weren't clear. The owner of the privately-operated mini-train insisted on this. Going during peak season meant long waits on the return trip due to crowds; the shuttle buses were often blocked off on the village roads by private cars. 🙊

湖州的衣裳街位于市中心的红旗路与南街之间，自古以来就是湖州的商业中心。衣裳街得名于其历史上密集的估衣店，这些店铺在明清时期尤为繁荣。衣裳街作为湖州的历史文化街区，融合了现代商业和古老的传统。这里有众多的老字号，如丁莲芳和周生记，吸引着大量的游客和本地居民。虽然衣裳街的长度不长，但每一个角落都充满了活力和历史感。

The attraction combines a scenic area with a large-scale performance, requiring you to visit several locations. There are still many people during the National Day holiday. The performances are on a loop, so if you miss one, you can wait for the next one.

Here you can enjoy a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery of Taihu Lake and feel the magical charm of nature. Whether it's the sunrise or the starry night, you'll experience an ultimate visual feast. The "Baiyelong Bridge" nearby is particularly easy to overlook; walking up to it might be even better than the viewing platform.

My second visit to West Lake was great; the boat tour was excellent. The dock was easy to find, the staff were very friendly, provided clear explanations, and helped with any issues. There were also sightseeing buses, which were nice but a bit pricey. Taking the boat tour and then walking around was both perfectly fine.

According to legend, more than 4,000 years ago, Xia Yu, the founder of China's flood control, was ordered by Emperor Shun Yao Chonghua to control floods in Taihu Lake. He dug three main waterways, Dongjiang River, Loujiang River and Wusong River, connecting Taihu Lake with the sea and diverting floodwaters into the sea. This is what Sima Qian recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian": "Yu controlled floods in Wu and connected three rivers and five lakes." Taihu Lake is vast, 200 miles from east to west and 120 miles from north to south, covering an area of ​​36,000 hectares.

It is like a paradise on earth, with fairy air lingering around. There are ancient trees over a hundred years old, all with protection plaques, excellent air and beautiful scenery. There are tall ginkgo trees planted on both sides of the path, which bends and stretches into the distance, which is very beautiful and touching.
