I don't want to leave! I just want to immerse myself in the greenery of Hangzhou.

Jiuxi Yanshu is commonly known as "Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gullies." On sunny days, every plant and tree is clearly visible; on rainy days, everything is shrouded in a thin mist, like a fairyland, which is also the origin of the name "Yanshu" (smoky trees). Streams, tea gardens, mist, and green mountains are the four main features of this scenic area. As you hike along the uneven paths, you can see the misty fog draping over the green tea trees on the hills like silk, and hear the babbling streams flowing at the foot of the mountains, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. "Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gullies, the most beautiful place in the mountains," wrote Qing Dynasty scholar Yu Yue, capturing the infinite beauty of this earthly paradise. The catchy repetition in the poem "Layer upon layer of mountains, winding roads, tinkling springs, and tall trees" brings the ethereal fairyland closer to the heart. Among the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gullies, the most beautiful are the "mountains, roads, springs, and trees."
