Mingyue Bay Ancient Village, where King Wu and Xi Shi admired the moon. A thousand-year-old camphor tree greets you at the entrance, next to the filming location of the popular TV series, "All is Well." Follow the alley on the left to explore Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture: the Huang Family Ancestral Hall, the Fan Li Wealth-Seeking House, and the Ritual and Music Hall. The best scenery is at the Mingyue Bay Ancient Wharf, offering stunning views of Taihu Lake. The sunset is said to be beautiful, but unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating on my visit.

Hesitating where to go for the weekend? Suzhou's "Little Erhai Lake" is worth the trip! A two-day, one-night island getaway~ 🚗 Transportation: Driving is recommended. Parking on the island is very convenient, with free parking spaces available on both sides of the road. For those without cars, renting a car is also very convenient and affordable, offering great value! - Day 1⃣: We arrived at Xishan Island at 2pm and visited two scenic spots before returning to our homestay for a rest. Spot 1: Linwu Cave, a Taoist holy land. The cave is super cool, the stalactites are dreamy, and it's a perfect spot for taking photos! Spot 2: Shigong Mountain: Climb to the top for a panoramic view of Taihu Lake. The sunset is breathtaking! - Day 2⃣: We also arranged two scenic spots for the morning, focusing on relaxed travel! ⛰️ Piaomiao Peak: The highest peak on Xishan Island. The view of Taihu Lake from the summit is unbeatable! The climb is a bit tiring, but the scenery makes it worthwhile! ⛰️ Taihu Bridge: Stop by on the way back for some photos. The lake view from the bridge is stunning~ (But don't stay too long) 🚲 Afternoon: We rented bicycles for a ride around the island. The lake breeze was super comfortable. For those who don't like strenuous activities, you can choose to stroll along the lake, relax, and enjoy the slow pace of life~ Tips: Bicycle rentals are scarce on the island. You can ask the homestay staff to help you book bicycle or electric scooter rentals. The price is 50+ per person. You can also book the popular Snoopy car for 100+ per person, which you can use for a whole day. - 🏠 Accommodation: A good trip depends not only on the destination but also on the accommodation. This time on the island, we found our dream homestay. 🏠 Homestay: Huyin Boyu | 270° Mountain Oxygen Bar, Nordic Design Homestay Location: Located on Xishan Island, it's close to all the scenic spots. We drove there, which saved us a lot of travel time. Most importantly, the overall design style of the homestay leans towards Nordic design, which is very pleasing to the eye! Facilities: The homestay has KTV, a home theater, a chess and card room, and outdoor barbecue facilities, making it a great place for entertainment. Service: The homestay owner is very welcoming and hospitable. They also enthusiastically helped us book the popular Snoopy car and bicycles. Services: The homestay has its own restaurant where you can book meals in advance. We booked our meals before the trip, so after visiting the scenic spots, we could comfortably return to the homestay to rest and eat. - 💡 Tips: 1⃣ Driving is recommended, as the scenic spots on the island are scattered, making driving more convenient. 2⃣ Remember to bring sunscreen and a jacket, as it can be windy by the lake, and there is a significant temperature difference between day and night. 3⃣ Book your accommodation in advance, as it's very popular! Xishan Island is truly a hidden gem, with few people and beautiful scenery, perfect for relaxation! Go for it! 🏃‍♀🏃‍♂

- When you visit Taihu Lake Xishan Island, you must see the orange sea 🍊 sunset 🌇! The perfect photo spot 📸 is ready, so you can start your journey now! - It takes only 1.5 hours to drive from Suzhou 🚗! The first stop is 📍 [Hengshan Island] to see the seagulls. There are many seagulls on the way, and there are aunts selling bread 🍞 by the roadside. You can buy some small bread to feed the seagulls and interact with them. The scenery here is beautiful, and the photos 📸 are very nice 👀, like the sea 🌊. - The second stop is 📍 [Da Dao Lake View Restaurant], a farmhouse restaurant recommended by CCTV.

Bored on the weekend, I decided to take a short trip nearby. I slept in on Saturday and didn't leave Shanghai until almost 2 pm. I wanted to take a stroll around Dianshan Lake, but I left too late, so I went straight to Xishan Island Scenic Area on Taihu Lake. I planned to stay on the island for a night. Admission to the island is free, but there are many paid attractions and farms on the island. I didn't visit any of them. I just drove aimlessly along the road to the island. There are many ginkgo trees around the houses on both sides of the main road. The white walls, black tiles, yellow leaves, and old trees create a poetic scene. When I reached the Shigong Mountain Scenic Area, it was already dark, so I checked into Suzhou Jiangnan Lishan Boutique B&B nearby. Our group stayed in a family suite on the top floor. I didn't expect the B&B to face Dongshan Island. The lakeside room has a large floor-to-ceiling window, so you can watch the sunrise from the bed. You can also go to the balcony to listen to the birds singing in the morning and welcome the sunrise. After watching the sunrise, you can go back to sleep. Then, you can go downstairs to the lobby to enjoy the warm winter sun and have a warm breakfast. If you're not in a hurry to leave, you can sing karaoke or read a book. If I were alone, I might not leave. I would want to stay here for a while. After packing up, we checked out and left slowly. After leaving the island, we saw several scenic spots nearby. We finally chose the most popular Tianping Mountain Scenic Area. We drove to a parking lot near Linyan Mountain, about 3 km from Tianping Mountain, and parked the car. Then, we each rented a shared bike and rode to the entrance of Tianping Mountain. We saw the cars stuck in traffic and couldn't help but admire our own wisdom. There are also beautiful maple trees along the road. I have to emphasize that the most beautiful scenery of Tianping Mountain is the large maple forest at the entrance. People with limited mobility don't have to worry about missing the beautiful scenery. I recommend everyone to visit. Although there are many people, the scenery is really intoxicating. People who have the energy and want to see the panoramic view can also climb the mountain. The good thing about this mountain is that there are downhill paths every so often, so you don't have to worry about not having enough energy to go back. This seasonal beauty is breathtaking.
