• Pray and taste vegetarian food at Hanshan Temple.

Morning：When we arrived at Hanshan Temple in the morning, the morning mist had not yet dissipated. We followed the master's guidance to worship the Buddha and count the Hundred Arhats. The temple's vegetarian soup was made with bamboo shoots and mushrooms from the back mountain, served with pickled vegetables, and had a unique flavor. Looking up, we could see the cherry blossoms on the temple walls falling in the wind, giving it a somewhat Kyoto-like feel.

Afternoon：We went to Tiger Hill. From a distance, we could see the slightly tilted Huchou Pagoda - it was built 200 years earlier than the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy and was supported without a single nail for 800 years. The February lilies under the tower formed a purple carpet, and the drooping branches of the pendulous were slopingly resting on the wooden beams of the "Broken Beam Hall".

Evening:  We arrived at Nian Nianhua Bay. This place is not only a paradise of Zen culture but also an ideal spot for flower viewing and spring outings. In addition to the cherry blossom forest full of blooming flowers, you can also see a rich variety of flower species, such as hydrangeas, tulips, azaleas and peonies, making you feel as if you were in a sea of spring flowers.

Morning: Continue to stroll around Nianhua Bay. The spring town not only has a sea of flowers but also has a literary atmosphere - there are popular bookstores and coffee shops, and the sunlight shines through the glass windows onto the pages of the books. We can order a drink and enjoy a moment of laziness; if you want to leave a souvenir, you can experience a "Spring Jiangnan Photography" event, allowing a professional photographer to capture your encounter with the flower sea and ancient buildings through the lens.

Afternoon: Drive to Wuzhen, a water town famous for the World Internet Conference but beloved for its old-world charm. Stone bridges, wooden houses, and gondola-like boats on canals evoke a timeless Jiangnan scene.

Evening: Participate in the unique "Lantern Walk Across Bridges" activity in Wuzhen. Holding a lantern, walk across each stone bridge. The warm light of the lantern illuminates the blue tiles, ancient courtyards, and the ancient buildings on both sides. The sound of the oar boats passing over the water and the soft voices from afar interweave,taking you back to the old days of the thousand-year-old town，allowing you to touch the cultural memories of Jiangnan while walking.

We can stroll around slowly. Entering Mao Dun's former residence, we can feel the traces of the literary giant's growth; visiting the blue print fabric workshop, we can see how the artisans dye the white cloth into the indigo color of the Jiangnan region; or sitting on the stone steps by the river, we can watch the locals washing clothes and chatting, experiencing the most genuine hustle and bustle of the ancient town.

Lunch: Enjoy lunch at the Water Pavilion Restaurant, which is a unique dining experience in Wuzhen. The Water Pavilion is half built on the river and half against the riverbank. Sitting inside, your feet are under the flowing water, and in front of you are the passing wooden boats. The ancient trees on the riverbank are sprouting new green leaves, forming a vivid picture of Jiangnan. On the table, there are Wuzhen's river delicacies, braised ducks, steamed fish... Every dish carries the freshness of the water town.

Afternoon: Drive to Hangzhou to visit "The Celestial Mountain and Buddhist Land" - Feilai Peak + Lingyin Temple. In spring, Feilai Peak looks like a spilled green paint palette, with thick green trees growing all over the mountain. Ascending Feilai Peak, you can overlook the entire Lingyin Temple - the golden temple is faintly visible among the green trees, while the West Lake, like a jade gem embedded in the earth, is further away, and the peach blossoms and rhododendrons sway in the spring breeze, very full of vitality.
