Not knowing how tough the climb was going to be - we were initially ambivalent as mid 50ers in good shape. However we realized this was not a major concern when we saw elderly individuals with canes who had reached the top! Steps were uneven in places but a handrail was available for 90% of the way. All of this was a moot point when you reach the summit platform and see the incredible view of the Li River and the numerous mountain peaks - just spectacular! Don’t miss it!

The riverside walk along the Bund may be busy and crowded during the day, but with good reason - it's simply a must when in Shanghai for people-watching and getting a good feel for the city.
The prefecture took the industrial roots of the city and transformed them into art, see both sides and try to imagine that once this metroplex was once a village and it grew exponentially as its importance as a port grew.

This is a designated section of Shanghai’s port along the Huang Pu River lined with beautiful neo-classical buildings and a waterfront promenade that is packed with tourists, locals and street sellers.
This is where the vast spread of this huge city really connects-the true centre of Shanghai.A great view of both sides of the river- the 19th and early 20th century ornamental British and European buildings on one side, and the futuristic boldly designed skyscrapers on the other. No scammers or pickpockets to worry about here,as it's heavily guarded.Nice for a brisk walk during the day, but amazing to stroll and gaze in wonder at night with all the lighting! Keep walking and you'll find the ferry.Its a 10 minute ride to the other side, and only about 2 or 3 rmb per person!Do your research, and find a fancy restaurant or bar looking across the river to relax and finish off the evening. You can't go wrong!

Considered one of the most beautiful sights in Hangzhou, this scenic lake is sheltered on three sides by hills, with open flat land to the northeast where downtown Hangzhou is located.
I arrived in Hangzhou on November 12th with my friends.It was the first time I went to Hangzhou and it's definitely not the last time.On the morning of November 13th,we visited many scenic spots and what impressed me most was West Lake.There was antique and beautiful scenery.The Three Pools Mirroring the Moon was a wonderful sight,which made me marvel at it.At night,33 moons could be seen here!We visited the Leifeng Pagoda and listened to the guide tell us the stories about it.We learned about ancient Chinese culture there.I think it's very meaningful to visit the West Lake.Tips:When you go to the West Lake,the boat tour is a must.Hangzhou is rainy,so you'd better take the clothes and an umbrella.If you need to take photos,take a camera with you.

Wuzhen, a 1300-year-old water town on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, is a national 5A scenic area and one of China's top ten historical & cultural towns. Located on the Hangzhou-Jiaxing-Huzhou Plain in northern Zhejiang Province, it is at the center of the golden triangle consisting of Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou. Wuzhen can be easily accessed through a number of expressways and national highways. In 2001, Wuzhen was named as a candidate for UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage List. At the end of 2006, it was included in the revised List of China's Candidates for UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. In 2009, Wuzhen was named as the first PATA eco-tourism destination in Mainland China. The ancient Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal flows through the town, which is divided by waterways into four areas, Dongzha, Xizha, Nanzha, and Beizha. Since its foundation in 872 A.D., Wuzhen has never changed its name, location, waterways, or way of life. Traditional buildings remain intact today even after hundreds years of weathering.
Visited this place as part of my tour to Hangzhou. It is like being taken back in time to an ancient town.Took the boat ride and really enjoyed the experience(Woww!!!!).It is good that there are so many beautiful places in China that made me always come back for more.

Hemu Village has been voted by a travel magazine as one of the five most beautiful villages in China. It is accessable by taking a flight from Urumqi o Kanasi (about two and half hours) and then a car (about three hours). During the fall season, this place is a fairyland on earth. Wooden houses, beautiful fall colors, cultural experience of the Tuva people and traditional local food can make the visit very memorable.
