The most beautiful season in China is here: Autumn! Life lately has been filled with love, whether a romantic sunset walk at Guangfulin Historial Site, or a family wedding back in Yangzhou, I am feeling nice and warm inside. Guangfulin was the original settling place of Songjiang in Shanghai, with settlements found to be dating back over 5000 years. The fields, waterways, temples, and traditional architecture make it a scenic spot to visit in the area. The cultural site is only a short journey from Sheshan National Forest Park and boasts stunning natural beauty without all the tourists! I highly recommend visiting at Golden Hour. The next weekend we headed back to Yangzhou for Miu's cousin's wedding. This was my first time attending a Traditional Chinese Wedding. I learned so much about the culture, customs, and traditions that local Chinese families participate it at a marriage celebrate. From tea serving ceremonies, red packets, fighting to see the bride, and endless food, I felt incredibly grateful to experience such a monumentus event in their lives. 下个周末，我们回到扬州参加了miu表妹的婚礼。这是我第一次参加传统的中式婚礼。中国婚礼有许多文化、习俗以及传统值得我去学习。从奉茶仪式、红包、接亲，当然还有许多许多美食，我真的非常荣幸能参加他们人生中至关重要的一天。

This vlog by Expat Natt captures the beauty of autumn in Shanghai and the unique experience of attending a traditional Chinese wedding in Yangzhou. In Shanghai, Natt and her partner enjoyed a peaceful evening walk at Guangfulin Historical Site, a 5000-year-old settlement showcasing stunning natural beauty and traditional architecture. The site's serene atmosphere and historical significance provided a tranquil escape from city life.
The following weekend, their journey took them to Yangzhou for a family wedding.

The groom and his groomsmen had to pass a series of playful tests to reach the bride, adding a layer of fun and tradition to the proceedings. The tea ceremony, where the groom serves tea to the bride's parents to seek their blessing, was a particularly moving moment.
Natt's detailed account highlights the differences between Western and Chinese wedding traditions, offering viewers a unique cultural perspective.

The wedding concluded with a beautiful evening reception, filled with joyous celebrations and shared moments with family and friends.
