    I found a dream garden in Monet's pen on the bank of Wuxi Taihu Lake. It is red like fire, pink like Xiaxia, blue like a gem. It is colorful and beautiful. I can't see it with my eyes. I don't know where to go on the Dragon Boat Festival on weekends. You can consider it here.

    Beautiful park filled with flowers and locations for photo ops. Would highly recommend arriving here an hour or so before sunset, then staying till night to watch the performances (there are multiple, but be sure to check the times ahead of time so you don't miss them since most are only 5 mins) - the lights are gorgeous!FYI - the usage instructions in the confirmation email I received said to report the phone number entered for the purchase in order to pick up tickets - this did not work for me, but they were able to search for my reservation with my passport.

    I went with the mentality of just strolling around, but the scene scenery is far greater than my expectations. It is worth taking a slow turn. There are many temples. Huishan Temple starts to distribute vegetarian food for free at 9:30 every day. If you are lucky, you can catch up. You must go to Jichangyuan. It is very beautiful. The photo is very good.

    The moment I stepped into the mountain gate, 100,000 emerald bamboos bent over and rustled from the soles of their feet, like a pot of green cold tea. When the cableway car penetrated the morning mist, the flying bamboo chicken wings flitted through the window and cast a fleeting ink on the glass. At the moment of climbing to the top of the "Lingyun Pavilion", I suddenly understood what is the "Bamboo Wave": the wind passed, the undulating arc of the whole mountain, just like the pen of Mr. Dongpo. When I went down the mountain, I deliberately stepped on a few dead bamboo rafts, and I woke up the nap in the mud cave with a crisp sound. It squirmed along the track. It is exactly the same pattern as the Ming Dynasty purple sandsmiths carved on the tea. If you stand in the "Emerald Corridor" with your eyes closed, you will hear the fine burst of bamboo knots - the sound of time being woven by fibers.
