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.

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.

Hangzhou Jiuxi Scenic Spot is a forest area as famous as Xixi Wetland Park, which is very suitable for outdoor hiking. It's a good place to travel all year round and not far from the city, so it is better to take public transportation there, you can have many lines depending on where you start you travel. Driving there may hit traffic jam, you must make a preparatory. Jiuxi is also the origin of the famous West Lake Longjing Tea. Here, you can see the flow of streams, you can see the tall shrubs, and you can feel the ups and downs of the hills. Find a tea shop to enjoy a cup of local green tea, get more close to the local farmer’s life. Visiting the Lian temple is also a good choice, which is located in the middle of the Jiuxi scenic spot, you can find it on the wayside.

Inside Westlake lots to be explore like the Nine Creeks in the Misty Forest Located 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 . This is also the place where authentic Shiling Longjing Dragon's Well tea comes from. It is a wonderful place to enjoy tea , as many tea houses along the way. You can take a buggy to take you to the center of the area, it cost 8 rmb PP one way. Or choose to walk it’s about 1 hour , but you get to enjoy the tea fields see the creek up close. The water is so clear it’s amazing. Along the way you have snacks and shops to buy drinks , but taking your own is also a good idea. Once at the main area , you will see the beautiful waterfall and the river. A great place for a day trip. Cost : Free ( food and other items you will pay ) 🚘🚕🚌 1) Bus stop Jiuxi Stop on apple map. Or type Jiuxi New Village. Here a public bus will drop you to the entrance and walk in 10 minutes. 2) most cars can’t drive in. You need to be left at front or have him drive inside until you are told you can’t enter. Over all many hikers , a day stroll for sure. Fresh air and it’s just nice.

"The wind here is sticky, sticking to the thoughts of passersby; the rain here turns into threads, entangling us in the world." JJ Lin's song "Jiangnan" captures the gentleness and tenderness of Jiangnan, and fills me with longing for Hangzhou. Finally, I set foot on this land depicted in the song and embarked on a journey as melodious as a song. Upon arriving in Hangzhou, West Lake is a must-visit. Strolling along the lake, a gentle breeze caresses my face, and the shimmering lake surface resembles the misty rain depicted in "Jiangnan." "Has it snowed on the Broken Bridge? I gaze at the lake," standing on the Broken Bridge, I seem to see the romantic encounter of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, a thousand-year-old love story belonging to West Lake. At Jiuxi Yanshu, I follow the winding stream, surrounded by lush green trees and the gentle flow of the stream, as if stepping into the utopia described in the song. At this moment, the melody of "Jiangnan" unconsciously plays in my mind, and I feel that the picturesque scenery perfectly blends with the song's artistic conception. At night, I visit Hefang Street, a bustling market with a variety of specialty shops, full of life. I savor Hangzhou's specialty foods like Dingsheng Cake and Congbao Hui, experiencing the city's vibrant atmosphere.

My 10 km hiking route: Jiuxi Yanshu → Longjing Village → Shili Langdang → Zhenji Temple → Jiuxi Yanshu 1️⃣ The best scenery is at Jiuxi Yanshu! The red, orange, and green colors are like a natural palette. This section is also the most crowded. If you want to avoid the crowds, it's best to go on a weekday or in the morning. However, the crowds don't detract from the beautiful scenery. 2️⃣ Stop by Longjing Village for a meal. 3️⃣ The highlight of Shili Langdang is the Longjing tea plantation. The trees in the tea garden are also tinged with autumn colors, which is very beautiful. This section of the road has an elevation gain of more than 300 meters, which is quite tiring. If you don't want to climb the mountain, you can just walk a short distance and then turn back. However, the view of West Lake from the top is not to be missed. 4️⃣ There is a 1,400-year-old ginkgo tree in front of Zhenji Temple, but the leaves have already fallen. The temple is dedicated to the God of Wealth, so you should pay a visit. 🚩 Start and end point: Jiuxi Bus Station 🧭 Estimated time: 3–5 hours

Yunqi Bamboo Path and Jiuqu Shibajian are places I would recommend to every friend who comes to Hangzhou. They are especially charming in autumn. I like the red maples at sunset. Longjing Village is located there. Longjing tea is produced deep in the mountains. You can see the West Lake and the high-rise buildings in Hangzhou when you climb to the top of the mountain. It feels like being out of the world and in the world. My friend and I went there several times. At the top of the mountain, there's a temple. And at the bottom of the mountain, there are dozens of old trees #deliciousfood #familytrip #travelinspiration #localguides #attractionphotographyguide #outingflowerviewingtime #romanticthings #trip

If you have already visited all the attractions around West Lake, where else should you go? After searching online, I found that many travelers recommend visiting Jiuxi Yanshu at this time of year. After carefully reviewing the various recommended routes, I chose the so-called "lazy route," which starts from Longjing Village Bus Station and heads towards Jiuxi Yanshu. This route is mostly downhill, which is easier on the knees, and you can also see the highlights of Jiuxi Yanshu. I set off in the morning and took a ride-hailing car from the hotel to Longjing Village Bus Station to save time. It took about 20 minutes. Then I walked along the stone-paved road towards Jiuxi Yanshu. The air was so fresh, and the tea gardens on the mountains on both sides were faintly visible, shrouded in light mist. Occasionally, streams flowed across the road, and I had to jump over the stones set by others to cross. After about 40 to 50 minutes, I reached the core area of Jiuxi Yanshu. The scenery along the way was already eye-catching, and the core area was even more beautiful. The leaves of the plants here were red, pink, and yellow, and the streams converged into a lake, crystal clear. The colorful leaves were reflected in the emerald green lake, creating a stunning play of light and color. All that was left was to find the right angle, take photos, and capture the beautiful moments. The route I took was indeed relatively easy, from Longjing Village Bus Station to the core area of Jiuxi Yanshu to Jiuxi Yanshu Bus Station. The whole journey took about two hours.

In December, Hangzhou is in the midst of autumn, and Jiuxi is a must-visit hidden gem! When you arrive, it's like stepping into a palette of colors, with maple leaves creating a colorful feast. As you walk along the winding path into Jiuxi, the sound of the stream accompanies you, and the clear spring water flows joyfully, complementing the colorful maple leaves along the stream. The Jiuxi Yanshu Scenic Area is already mostly red, as if nature is painting a beautiful backdrop for the blue sky, with vibrant reds, bright yellows, and steady greens intertwining and blending. As you go deeper, many maple leaves show a gradient of colors, half red and half yellow, like carefully mixed paint that hasn't dried yet, making for stunning photos. When you're tired of exploring, don't miss the local delicacies. In local restaurants, the tea-flavored ribs are a must-try, with tender ribs soaked in fresh tea aroma, crispy and soft in every bite. There's also Dingsheng cake, soft and sweet with a hint of osmanthus fragrance, warming your stomach and sweetening your heart. In addition to Jiuxi Yanshu, you can follow the stream upwards to Longjing Village, where the tea gardens are serene and elegant. Find a tea house, sit down, and savor authentic West Lake Longjing tea, with its rich aroma. If you want to stretch your legs, Yangmeiling is also a great place to visit, with ancient villages scattered around, where you can stroll along the stone paths and enjoy the tranquility of time. However, there are some things to keep in mind when visiting Jiuxi. There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so remember to bring mosquito repellent. When enjoying the scenery and taking photos, don't forget to watch your step, as the stones are often wet and slippery from the stream. If you're driving, parking can be a challenge on weekends and holidays, so it's best to set off early or take public transportation. Although the maple leaves are not fully red yet, the colorful scenery has its own charm. In about half a month, the entire forest is likely to turn completely red. Take advantage of the good weather, grab your camera or phone, and head to Jiuxi with your friends! Just like the pictures captured with a 13pro, lock this limited-time beauty into your photo album.
