The weather in Zhejiang

The four seasons are clearly distinct

It's pleasant to visit any time of year

Spring is neither too hot nor too cold

Peach blossoms bloom by West Lake

Willows turn green

Stroll along Su Causeway

The breeze feels wonderful

Longjing Village's tea plantations are lush and green

Sit in a teahouse for an afternoon

All your worries fade away

Ancient towns like Wuzhen and Xitang

Have the most charm when it rains

Small bridges over flowing water

White walls and black tiles

So peaceful

Lishui is a bit wilder

When the morning mist rolls in

The Yunhe terraces look like mirrors

Bamboo shoots are super tender this time of year

Delicious stir-fried with pork or on their own

Longjing shrimp is fresh too

In summer

Inside Moganshan

Streams and pools are everywhere

Ice-cold

Qiandao Lake

Has crystal-clear water

You can see the bottom

Take a boat ride

Cycle around the lake

Then have a bowl of fish head soup

That's how you spend summer

Want it even cooler?

Head south in Zhejiang

Lishui

Wenzhou

In the mountain valleys of Taizhou

Streams are everywhere, the air

Is cool and refreshing

Do nothing at all

Just space out and feel great

If you love the sea

Go to Dongji Island in Zhoushan

Or Shitang in Taizhou

Xiangshan in Ningbo

Clean, pristine beaches

Hangzhou fills with the scent of osmanthus

Around Manjuelong

It's all osmanthus trees

A sweet fragrance

Drifting everywhere

Street-side shops

Sell osmanthus lotus root

Osmanthus fermented rice wine

Osmanthus cake

Soft and chewy

In the eighth lunar month

The Qiantang River tidal bore

Rolls in like thunder

Truly spectacular

Siming Mountain's maple leaves turn red

Drive along the winding mountain roads

Scenery all the way

Old villages in Songyang

Still keep the tradition of drying autumn harvests

Chili peppers, corn, persimmons

Drying in the courtyards

Such a lively sight

Hairy crabs are plumpest now

Steam one and crack it open

Full of roe

So good your eyebrows might fall off

Winter is perfect for hot springs

Lin'an, Deqing, Ninghai, Taishun

All have natural ones

When it gets cold

Soak in the hot water

Your whole body warms up

So relaxing

Ancient towns are less crowded in winter

Places like Wuzhen and Xitang

Red lanterns hanging

White walls and black tiles

Look especially serene

If it snows

A thin layer of snow

Covering rooftops and stone bridges

Like an ink wash painting

That's Zhejiang

Backed by mountains

Facing the sea

Great scenery

Amazing food

Mild climate

Warm-hearted people

Everyone you meet feels like an old friend
