Nine Creeks Highlight Route👇

1️⃣ Nine Creeks Smoke Trees Entrance ➡️ Waterfall Viewing Platform
A 15-minute walk to see the first small waterfall! The sound of the creek is super healing~
📸Must-shoot: Stand on the stone slab bridge to capture the depth of flowing water! Long exposure can be done with a phone

2️⃣ Qianlong Ancient Path ➡️ Jiuhong Pavilion
The stone path walked by Qing Dynasty emperors! Crunching fallen leaves underfoot
Encounter a huge maple tree🍁 like a spilled paint palette

3️⃣ Lian'an Temple Ruins
Ancient temple ruins hidden in the bamboo forest
Fairy-like mist at dawn!

⚠️Tips to Avoid Pitfalls
▫️Wear non-slip shoes! Stones by the creek are covered with moss
▫️Bring mosquito repellent (learned the hard way😭)
▫️Light is softest after 3 PM

🍁Autumn Bonus:
Maple leaves are bright red from late October to mid-November
Even better on rainy days! The misty Jiangnan atmosphere is at its peak~
