December is the best time to visit Jiuxi Yanshu!

If you have already visited all the attractions around West Lake, where else should you go? After searching online, I found that many travelers recommend visiting Jiuxi Yanshu at this time of year. After carefully reviewing the various recommended routes, I chose the so-called "lazy route," which starts from Longjing Village Bus Station and heads towards Jiuxi Yanshu. This route is mostly downhill, which is easier on the knees, and you can also see the highlights of Jiuxi Yanshu. I set off in the morning and took a ride-hailing car from the hotel to Longjing Village Bus Station to save time. It took about 20 minutes. Then I walked along the stone-paved road towards Jiuxi Yanshu. The air was so fresh, and the tea gardens on the mountains on both sides were faintly visible, shrouded in light mist. Occasionally, streams flowed across the road, and I had to jump over the stones set by others to cross. After about 40 to 50 minutes, I reached the core area of Jiuxi Yanshu. The scenery along the way was already eye-catching, and the core area was even more beautiful. The leaves of the plants here were red, pink, and yellow, and the streams converged into a lake, crystal clear. The colorful leaves were reflected in the emerald green lake, creating a stunning play of light and color. All that was left was to find the right angle, take photos, and capture the beautiful moments. The route I took was indeed relatively easy, from Longjing Village Bus Station to the core area of Jiuxi Yanshu to Jiuxi Yanshu Bus Station. The whole journey took about two hours.
