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
