Homemade osmanthus sachets
How can we preserve the flavors of autumn and enhance our lives? After the meal, join your tour guide in making osmanthus sachets and sew your own autumn gift to take home.
We set off again at 3:00 PM, following the refreshing scent of sweet-scented osmanthus to Manjuelong. In the golden autumn of October, the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers are in full bloom in Manjuelong, filling the mountains with fragrance and petals falling like rain!
Around 4:00 PM, we arrived at the South Peak area, one of the two peaks known as Twin Peaks Piercing the Clouds, one of the "Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake." Panoramic views offered a breathtaking view of the vast Qiantang River and the mirror-like West Lake. We took a group photo here and continued on our way. Around 5:00 PM, we arrived at the Santai Pavilion and retreated, concluding the activity. With a tearful farewell, everyone was still unsatisfied.
