This was my first visit to the Humble Administrator's Garden (one of the four great classical gardens of China). The garden is exquisite and unique, a hidden paradise. We entered from the south gate and exited from the east gate, having basically seen all the highlights.

Niushou Mountain, the air is so fresh, it instantly lifts my spirits! 🌿 The magnificent Buddha Palace is breathtaking, a feast for the eyes. Walking along the mountain path, the pine trees, bamboo groves, and the golden and orange leaves create a vibrant tapestry of colors, like stepping into an autumn fairytale. 🍂 Sitting on the rocks by the lake for a long time, watching the fallen leaves sway on the water, even our work worries faded away. The tranquility here is a rare treasure in the city. Would you like to experience this peace and quiet?

Upon first entering the lake area, the most profound impression is the rhythm of "contraction" and "expansion." Unlike natural lakes that offer an unobstructed view, this area uses pavilions, willow-lined embankments, and arched bridges as frames, meticulously framing the water, sky, and distant mountains into exquisite compositions. Every few steps, the scenery changes, like turning the pages of a beautifully illustrated book. • The Five Pavilion Bridge perfectly blends grandeur and elegance. From a distance, it's a vibrant splash of color on the lake; stepping onto the bridge, a gentle breeze wafts through the pavilions, each arch framing a different waterscape. • The Twenty-Four Bridges transport you to a poetic realm. Silently reciting "Where does the jade maiden teach the flute?", one can almost hear the echoes of history reverberating on the clear water. The bridge is no longer just a bridge; it becomes a cultural footnote. • Taking a painted boat is a must. As the boatmen's oars creaked and groaned, the pavilions and trees on the shore slowly moved backward, and the perspective shifted from eye level to a slight upward gaze. Only then could one truly appreciate the meaning of "pavilions all the way to the mountains." The winding waterway added an element of exploration to the tour.

I went there specifically to see the famous monkey Dudu, and it certainly didn't disappoint! I saw Dudu, along with many other fun little monkeys. I also saw Kapibala and koalas; they looked like a lot of fun, and I had a great time.

Autumn arrives at Yuantouzhu in Wuxi, where parking is convenient. Enjoy the view of seagulls on the lake, their white feathers shimmering on the water – a truly captivating scene. In the afternoon, head to Huishan Ancient Town, where autumn is in full swing: the fragrance of osmanthus permeates the alleys, maple leaves paint the eaves, the aroma of tea mingles with the sounds of storytelling in old shops, and the slow-paced charm of everyday life unfolds. A leisurely day allows you to savor the beauty of autumn and the warmth of everyday life.

Some interesting attractions were cancelled, as were the nighttime attractions; the park closes at 5 PM, and this wasn't mentioned when purchasing tickets. The rides are just so-so, typical of all theme parks, nothing special. I won't be coming back.

I took my parents on a winter trip to Tiger Hill. This season is like a palette of colors—yellow, red, and green—it's absolutely beautiful, dazzling under the sunlight. Tiger Hill seems to have been expanded a lot; a complete walk around takes at least half a day, but it was a wonderful experience. After that, we walked to Shantang Street. The Seven-Mile Shantang Street still looks just like it did when I was a child.

Lingering Garden is known for its "small but beautiful landscapes, with many scenic spots within a small space." Pavilions and terraces are reflected in the clear water, strange peaks and rocks hide tranquility, and plaques and couplets contain profound meaning. Strolling through it, one can fully appreciate the elegance and charm of Jiangnan gardens.
