Grand Canal

Gongchen Bridge, Xiaoche Park Gongchen Bridge and Xiaoche Park on the Grand Canal are great places to visit on the weekend. The scenic area is in the city center, so it's more convenient to take the bus or subway than drive. In the morning, the park is mostly filled with joggers and people doing morning exercises. The commercial street is also closed, so it's pretty quiet. If you can get up early, it's a great place to take a walk and take photos. The morning light is also great.
