A hidden gem that deserves more attention | Cliff Hanging Temple

| Cliff Hanging Temple. As autumn deepens, the ginkgo leaves turn yellow. 🍁
It's the season of colorful ginkgo leaves again. 🍂
Enjoy the autumn scenery and the ginkgo leaves, and immerse yourself in the natural beauty.
I finally had the chance to visit this picturesque town of Jiande, which was featured in National Geographic.
I came at the right time, in late autumn in November.
The mountains are covered in golden yellow, and the beauty of autumn is all here.

I have compiled this Jiande autumn hiking route,
hoping to share this autumn beauty with you.

✅ Autumn route:
Take the cable car up the mountain ▶️ Qingyin Pavilion ▶️ Double-sided Buddha ▶️ Yuhua Lake ▶️ Ksitigarbha Hall ▶️ Millennium Ginkgo Tree (Xiangxiang Zhai) ▶️ Glass Walkway ▶️ Dry Slide down the mountain
(It is also recommended not to take the cable car and hike up the mountain, with a total of 2,000 steps, taking about 40 minutes to reach the top. This is a reverse route, so you won't have to retrace your steps. The difficulty level is not high, suitable for all ages.)

Very impressive attractions:
1⃣ The ancient ginkgo tree at Xiangxiang Zhai is the perfect spot for autumn viewing. The ginkgo festival runs throughout November until early December. The best time to enjoy the autumn scenery is from mid to late November to early December.

2⃣ Qingyin Pavilion is built on a cliff, with half embedded in the rock and half suspended in the air. It blends harmoniously with the surrounding mountains, water, and trees, creating a stunning picture from afar.

3⃣ The Double-sided Buddha can be seen from afar at the foot of the mountain, with its golden glow at the top. It offers a panoramic view of the entire scenic area, with an excellent view.

🛣 Location: Daci Rock Scenic Area, Jiande, Hangzhou

🚙 Transportation: Take a taxi from Jiande High-speed Railway Station, about 50 minutes (I took a carpool there and back.)

🎑 Autumn viewing: Mid-November to early December

The autumn frost turns the ginkgo leaves yellow, and the golden ginkgo leaves intoxicate the late autumn.
Don't wait any longer, pack up and go out to welcome it!
