I thought Suzhou was already beautiful until I visited Yixing

🚆Hangzhou high-speed train 40min Direct to this hidden gem of a small city, which has always been 🔹seriously underrated! Not only is it less crowded here, but the scenery is also nice, and there are many cultural sites. 🔹If you're still worrying about the crowds during the May Day holiday, consider coming here for a visit, you might be pleasantly surprised. 📍Yixing 🚆Hangzhou 45min, Nanjing 34min 🚘Hangzhou 2.5h, Nanjing 2h 💠Day1: Longbei Mountain Forest Park, Shushan Ancient South Street, Yada Yangxian Town 💠Day2: Dajue Temple, Yunhu Longchi Mountain Bicycle Park 📍Longbei Mountain Forest Park The first stop I chose was Longbei Mountain, the closest to the high-speed train station. Here you can find the metasequoia lawn, blue windmills, and a dreamy Ferris wheel. It's not only less crowded and photogenic, but everywhere you look is a green wonderland, very relaxing. 📍Shushan Ancient South Street It has the feel of a small river straight street, but it's more quaint and quiet, with a stronger sense of old street culture. The block is not big, but besides being photogenic, it's also known as 'Purple Sand One Street', where the shops are full of unassuming purple sand artists, allowing you to feel a unique cultural heritage. 📍Yada Yangxian Town A secluded forest town with beautiful lake and mountain views. Don't miss the very bluesy Dongpo Pavilion, which has a great aerial photography spot! The town's restaurants are also deliciously surprising~ 📍Dajue Temple Yunhu Yixing's stunning temple, known as the 'Little Potala Palace', with its orange and white colors and layered architecture is very photogenic. Not only is it free, but you can also eat vegetarian meals, drink coffee, and there's Yunhu Park opposite, which is worth a visit if you have time. On May Day, I participated in the Dajue Temple Vegetarian Expo, which featured various 'World Famous Vegetarian Dishes'. Friends who like vegetarian food should not miss it. Treasure Yixing, in addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, you can also visit Dajue Temple's fair~ 🍀I am Meili Jiang, who never stops walking 📷Passionate about capturing the beauty of travel with my lens ✨Follow me 📷To provide you with more travel photography and fun strategies
