    "The scenery of this tourist attraction is very beautiful and makes people linger. Various tourist facilities are also very complete, the tourist service center is very convenient, and the staff service attitude is also very good. The fly in the ointment is that the price of food and souvenirs in the scenic area is high."

    No.1 of Water Fun Attractions in West Lake
    Highlights: Nine Creeks in the Misty Forest are commonly called "Nine Creeks and Eighteen Caves". They are located just below the crest of Jiguan (Cockscomb) Hill to the west of West Lake. The nine creeks merge and flow together until they form a Y-shaped brook. The name "Nine Creeks in the Misty Forest" comes from the thick mists that descend on the forested slopes of the nearby Bajue (Eight Senses) Mountain after every rain storm. The entire valley is filled with fog that wreathes the trees in an intoxicatingly beautiful way. This is also the place where authentic Shiling Longjing Dragon's Well tea comes from. It is a wonderful place to enjoy tea with friends and family in a beautiful and iconic setting.

    "Manjueyu has many small restaurants and homestays, and it is also a Longjing tea base. From Manjueyu, you can walk to Jiuxi Yanshu, about 40 minutes. Manjueyu has a net red "soup house", just next to the road next to Manjueyu 75, after entering, you can see a small tea mountain, "soup house" is on the left side of the foot of the mountain. In fact, this is a unique Han Dynasty style brick and wooden structure building, because it is similar to the movie "thousand and thousands of searches" in the "soup house" and the red."

    "Hangzhou Jingci Temple is located at No. 56 Nanshan Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is located on the shore of West Hunan and under the Huiri Peak of Nanping Mountain. It is one of the four ancient temples in the history of West Lake and one of the famous temples in China. Jingci Temple was founded in the first year of Zhou Xiande (954 AD) after the 5th and 10th Dynasties. It was founded by Qian Xuan of Wu Yue Wang and was originally named "Huiri Yongming Courtyard". It was renamed Jingci Temple in the Southern Song Dynasty and built 500 Luohan Hall. The temple has been damaged and rebuilt many times, and the existing buildings are mostly rebuilt in the 1980s. Jingci Temple covers an area of 184 mu and a construction area of 29,600 square meters. The temple is built on the hillside, and the central axis includes the wall, the release pool and two architectural courtyards. The buildings are all wooden structures in the Qing Dynasty. The main buildings are the Diamond Palace, the Daxiong Palace, the Three Temples, the Guanyin Palace, and the Bell Tower. Among them, the King Kong Temple is the mountain gate of Jingci Temple, and the Grand Palace is the main hall of the Central Palace. The building area is 1260 square meters. The historical and cultural heritage of Jingci Temple is deep. Yang Wanli, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, once lived in Jingci Temple. During the period, his friend Lin Zifang visited and wrote a poem "Xiao out of Jingci Temple to send Linzifang" and circulated to this day. There is also a "Nanping Evening Bell", one of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake. The sound of the big wooden raft hitting the pendulum can be heard at about 16:00 every day. In addition, Jingci Temple is still a place of Jigong practice and silence, and the front of Jizu Temple on the west side of the Daxiong Pavilion is a legendary ancient well of Yunmu."

    "Many friends will leave in a hurry after punching in Lingyin Temple. This is also the consistent route of the tour group. In fact, after Lingyin Temple, there are many niche temples. It is worth everyone to go around. Today, the recommended for everyone is Qiantang's first Fudi Yongfu Temple. Out of the gate of Lingyin Temple, not far to the right, you can see the gate of Yongfu Temple. The area of Yongfu Temple is actually not large, but you will find that you are walking all the way to the mountain. And the scenery also starts from the step by step up the mountain road. The Yongfu Temple in spring is full of flowers, and the Yongfu Temple in autumn is not willing to show weakness. Some leaves that can turn yellow have a gorgeous autumn color, which is different from coming here in spring and summer. It is cooler to come here in autumn. Even if the sun is shining on the face, you will not feel the heat. This is the most comfortable season in the entire Yuhang area. In another month, you will experience a long winter. You must know that Yuhang in winter is actually a bad time to visit Yongfu Temple. It is free. There is also a tea hall halfway up the mountain. If you want to drink tea, friends can order a cup of tea here, quietly in a daze, feel the style of the mountain temple."
