1. Hangzhou West Lake

The famous West Lake Two of the ten sceneries are related to the moon: one is "Autumn Moon over a Flat Lake" and the other is "Three Pools Reflecting the Moon".

Santan Reflecting the Moon is one of the three islands in West Lake and has been a moon-viewing resort since ancient times. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, candles are lit in the tower and the entrance of the cave is covered with tissue paper. The light shines through, like small moons, reflecting in the lake.

When the bright moon is in the sky, the moonlight, lights, and lake light complement each other, and the shadows of the moon, towers, and clouds merge into a scene of "a lake of golden water that is about to melt into autumn."

The best place to enjoy the moon in Dali is by the Erhai Lake. The moon over the Erhai Lake is one of the four famous sceneries in Dali. The Erhai Lake and the snowy scenery of Cangshan Mountain complement each other, and the moonlight is sparkling. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai people row wooden boats to the Erhai Lake to enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes. Young girls and boys also have to sing antiphonally to win the favor of their lovers. Going to Dali to enjoy the "Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon" during the Mid-Autumn Festival sounds very pleasant!

3. Yueyang Tower

Yueyang Tower has always been a popular place for viewing the moon. When the city's prosperity and hustle and bustle are silent, come to the Yueyang Tower and lean on the railing to watch the full moon hanging in the sky. The bells ringing in the distance can be heard vaguely, and there is the faint sound of the rushing water of the Yangtze River. In the mist-like moonlight, the lakeside buildings built in the Tang Dynasty Cishi Pagoda, Junshan Mountain is like a silhouette on the lake. The green grass in Dongting is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is no wind at all. The endless reeds sway all over the lake in golden color.

In the eight-hundred-mile Dongting, the mist is swaying and the sky is blue, and the leaves and boats are catching the setting sun. The wind and rain of 1700 years have not made the Yueyang Tower old. When you climb up the stairs in the day, you can see the clear autumn sky thousands of miles away, and the water flows with the sky. Clarity. You can see the "Autumn Moon in Dongting", "Returning to the Sail in Yuanpu" and "Sunset in the Fishing Village" in Xiaoxiang's eight poems.

"The old moon on the east side of the Huai River". Here you can admire the moon standing on the high city wall, or sit in the Qinhuai River's painted boat and experience the sound of oars. The feeling of light and shadow. The best place to enjoy the moon on the Qinhuai River is Wende Bridge.

It is said that Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, was drinking and composing poems in a restaurant near Wende Bridge. He saw the bright moon in the sky and the silvery light falling on the ground, so he took advantage of the wine to go to Wende Bridge to watch the scenery. Suddenly, he found the moon falling into the water, so he jumped off the bridge drunkenly, and happily opened his arms to catch the moon. The moon was cut in half in the water. Since then, every year on that night, people rush to Wende Bridge to watch the half-moon.

Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring is located in Dunhuang City at the western end of the Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province. Among them, Crescent Moon Spring is named after its curved shape like a crescent moon, and is known as "the first spring in the desert". Every Mid-Autumn Festival night, the moon in the sky, the Crescent Moon Spring and the moon in the spring complement each other. On Mingsha Mountain, beside the Crescent Moon Spring, the silk is melodious and the dance is graceful.

Watching the moon in the desert at night, without light pollution or high-rise buildings, can climb up the sand dunes to see not only the huge moon, but also the stars in the sky.

In the South, it is still early autumn during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Huangshan Mountain is already covered with forest. The red leaves all over the mountain reflect the world-famous Huangshan Welcome Pine. The greenery reveals splendor and highlights the beauty of Huangshan Mountain.

The moon in Huangshan Mountain is so pure, and the night in Huangshan Mountain is so quiet. At this time, whether you are walking on the mountain path to look for the shadow of the moon, or sitting quietly under the tree and inviting the moon with wine, facing such a pure moon, it is so quiet.
