I love this late autumn hiking route in Hangzhou more than West Lake.

We come to Jiuxi for hiking many times every late autumn. The autumn is strong, with mountains, water, tea gardens, and fiery red maples. ✔️I recommend 2 hiking routes that we often take, which are easy and family-friendly: ① Jiuxi Bus Station → Jiuxi Yanshu → Longjing Village ② Jiuxi Bus Station → Jiuxi Yanshu → Lian Temple → Yangmeiling Village → Manjuelong No. 75 (popular soup house) → Shiwudong 🚌Transportation: Since the starting point and the ending point are not in the same place, it is recommended to take public transportation. 🚇Take the subway to "Shuichengqiao" Station, Exit B (next to the bus station) and transfer to the bus to Jiuxi Bus Station; →Take a taxi to "Shuichengqiao" subway station after arriving at the destination. PS: You can also take a bus to the subway station, but it is more complicated. 🍁Attractions along the way: ① Jiuxi Shibajian: The maple trees here grow along the stream and are reflected in the stream, giving a strong oil painting feel. The stream flows slowly, with red and yellow leaves floating in it, colorful and pleasant to walk and see. ② Jiuxi Yanshu: In autumn, the maple trees in the mountain stream turn a sunset-like red, which is very beautiful when reflected in the water. ③ Longjing Village: In autumn, the tea gardens and the surrounding maple trees complement each other, creating a very artistic atmosphere. ④ China National Tea Museum Longjing Branch: Located on Manjuelong Road, it overlooks West Lake to the east and tea gardens to the west. The flowers, plants, and trees in the museum are colorful in autumn, making it a great place to enjoy the autumn. ⑤ Lian Temple: Located next to the ancient road of Yangmeiling Village in Jiuxi Scenic Area, Hangzhou. It was formerly known as Yongquan Zen Temple, and is also known as Fayusi because of the "Fayu Spring" in the temple, which is as famous as the Hupao Spring. It is now a place for tea brewing, and the red maple at the entrance is very beautiful, so you can go and check in. ⚠️Best time to see the autumn scenery of Jiuxi: Picture 9 is from November 26 last year, and the other pictures are from December 2 last year, and the time is estimated to be about the same this year. So save the guide first and go again in early December. →More family-friendly hiking routes can be found in my homepage collection "Hangzhou Hiking & Hiking & Cycling," →I will continue to share beautiful and fun autumn hiking routes in Hangzhou in the next article, see you in the next article～❤️
