Beijing’s Best-Kept Secret for Maple Viewing! Say No to Crowded Xiangshan! Free 40-Minute Hike to the Summit! Stop squeezing into Xiangshan! Every late October, savvy locals head to Fangshan — the “wild maple viewing trail” hidden in Shuiyu Folk Village is the ultimate autumn gem! It’s free, just a 1.5-hour drive, and only a 40-minute hike to the top. Every photo you take looks like a masterpiece ready to blow up your social feed. Hesitate and you’ll have to wait until next year! Here’s the key info for the lazy ones: free! Few people! 40 minutes to the summit! But don’t think it’s all easy with no surprises — this trail is full of unexpected delights! Navigate to “Shuiyu Folk Village,” then follow signs to “Maple Leaf Bridge.” When you see the bridge, turn right onto a narrow path — pay attention here! The path is very narrow, so find a spot to let others pass. At every fork, turn right. Trust me, just follow this and you won’t get lost! Don’t panic when you pass an abandoned scenic area — you’re not off track. Keep going for another kilometer and you’ll see the trail entrance. That feeling of “light at the end of the tunnel” will instantly boost your excitement! At first, the trail might feel a bit discouraging — the abandoned area’s facilities are old, some wooden boards are loose, so step carefully. Hold hands tightly with elderly and kids. But after just 10 minutes uphill, the scenery changes dramatically! The mountainside is covered in red leaves like a spilled palette, stretching from the base to the summit. Sunlight filters through the branches, casting golden-red shadows on the trail. Looking back, the whole mountain is a riot of colors. When the wind blows, red leaves flutter down like a famous autumn scene from the drama “Goblin.” You won’t stop taking photos, and every shot is social media-ready without any editing! The view from the top is even more amazing! No obstructions, under blue skies and white clouds, the red forest spreads out like waves, with distant villages dotting the landscape like a painting. If you bring your pet, let it run through the leaves — every candid shot is heartwarming. If you’re with your partner, take a backlit hand-holding photo at the summit — the atmosphere will be perfect, and your social media likes will skyrocket! A friendly reminder: don’t come on rainy days! The mountain path gets slippery and there’s a risk of landslides. Travel light — the slope isn’t long but a bit steep, so heavy backpacks will tire you out. Most importantly, this is an undeveloped scenic area with no staff, so safety must come first! Now is the best time to visit — from late October to mid-November, the leaves are at their reddest. Miss it now and you’ll have to wait a whole year! When are you planning to go? Share your “autumn maple viewing plan” in the comments. The friend with the most likes will get a private “hidden photo spots guide” for the trail, helping you capture maple photos no one else can! Don’t hesitate — this autumn, head to Shuiyu Folk Village and fill your album with the most beautiful red leaves!

Shazhou Youhuang Cultural Park is really a treasure. Every time I come here it gives me a surprise and a different experience. This time, Shazhou Youhuang actually moved the entire zoo into the Cultural Park, which is really cool. It's a huge doll. When you stand in it, you feel like you've entered Lilliput, hahaha. The Qianquan Well at the gate is super spectacular and is suitable for taking photos and checking in. The key is, it’s free🆓. Parking 🅿️ is also free. There is also a newly built Xiaomei Amusement Park in the cultural park. It is really friendly to families with children. Children can play there for the whole day. 🛒There are also many market stalls and local delicacies in the park. 🛍️There are also a lot of rice wine peripherals in the shopping mall, including rice wine yogurt, rice wine popsicles🍦, hot milk baby... I like it so much. The entire park is divided into four venues. If possible, you must take your children to visit. Museum - handcrafted brewing - aging wine warehouse - underground wine cellar. If you follow this order, you can really learn a lot.

💁🏻‍♀️ Over the weekend, I spent half a day in the osmanthus-scented Tianzhuang Old Street in Zhangjiagang. I have to say, visiting here in early November, was just perfect and exactly to my liking. The breeze was gentle, the autumn air was crisp, and it was a truly comfortable and pleasant season for outings in the south of the Yangtze River. 🌿 The Tianzhuang Old Street, soaked in the fragrance of osmanthus, was long and quiet, the slightly pinkish stone alleys, mostly Ming and Qing ancient buildings, walking around, the southern Yangtze River charm of the old street, with that touch of literary breath, entered my heart. ✍️ The former glory of Tianzhuang Ancient Town is now unreachable, now only a 250-meter long, 2-meter wide North Street remains, it is a part of the life of the people of Tianzhuang. The old street is small, walking on the greenish, shiny stone road, you can still feel the once bustling and lively atmosphere. The ancient street was built along the river, there are teahouses, blacksmith shops, snack bars, stove cakes, handicraft shops, the commercial atmosphere is not strong, and there are not many tourists. 🍃 Walking around, inside every wooden door on the old street, there is the breath of life, in the winding and deep ancient alleys, old people sit at the entrance of the alley unfolding the chessboard, playing chess leisurely, the warm sun in the autumn afternoon, scattered a ground of fine and warm sunlight in the alley, peaceful and quiet. 👀 Coming to Tianzhuang Ancient Town, those who like history and culture, can enter the Number One Scholar's Mansion and Yang's Filial Piety Archway, etc., to search for the famous figures and events in the history of the old street, and have a deeper understanding of the humanities of Tianzhuang Ancient Town. 🧚‍♀️ Walking along, the fragrance of osmanthus on the old street, was covered by the aroma of just out of the oven stove cakes. I bought a scallion flavored stove cake and ate it on the street, it was very fragrant and delicious, this is a delicacy that has been passed down for many years in Tianzhuang Old Street, you must try it when you come. 🙎🏻‍♀️ Tianzhuang Old Street, should be the only old street in Suzhou area, that I never get tired of visiting, all year round, I will visit multiple times, because the old street has what I like, that kind of original southern Yangtze River life flavor. 🍱 Must-try food on the old street: Tofu pudding, stove cake (must eat while it's hot) 📮Address: Tianzhuang Village, Gangkou Street, Fenghuang Town, Zhangjiagang City

Address－No. 323 Chang'an South Road, Zhangjiagang City Environment/Facilities - Private rooms on two floors Specialties - Jiangsu cuisine Price per person - RMB 200 Rating – 8/10 There is a food street downstairs from my friend's house. They are all ordinary family dishes. The three of us, grown men, ordered white eel slices, yellow eel, snails, fried corn and shrimp, etc. We drank white wine while enjoying the food. The steamed white eel tasted the best 👍👍👍 and the price was reasonable☺️☺️

Address－No. 115, Shazhou West Road, Zhangjiagang City, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China Postal Code: 215638 Environment/Facilities – Hand-Poured Coffee Features – Coffee with a human touch Price per person: RMB 30 Rating – 8/10 I haven't been back to the mainland for more than three years. This time I came to Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu. Because I had to wait for a long time to apply for a bank card at the bank, fortunately there is this Starbucks next to me. I can sit and enjoy this cup of hand-brewed coffee while slowly waiting for the bank to process my bank card. In terms of taste, I think this store does a great job 😋😋 #Starbucks #Mainland Customs Clearance

Address－Zhangjiagang Shopping Park, Zhangjiagang, China CN Jiangsu Province Suzhou City Postal Code: 215638 Environment/Facilities-There is a shopping park behind Features - Small hotel with large rooms Price per person: RMB 400 Rating – 7/10 Meilun has been open for almost 10 years, and it still retains a simple style. There are no luxurious facilities, just simple. The room is clean. Every day after breakfast, I go back to the room and the waiter asks me what time I go out and then helps me clean the room. The sheets are changed every day, but the towels in the toilet are a bit old. However, I always bring my own towels when I stay in a hotel, so this price is reasonable🤭🤭 #Mainland Customs Clearance #Jiangsu Province

#lstaying at hotel is the best way to enjoy relaxing time. Speically after the Spring festival, getting bored with the hustle ad bustle in city, and wanting to experience a different life, so I booked Youzhou Yiyang Hotspring resort--a hotel in countryside. There is a huge park adjacent to Yiyang hot spring hotel, and the park includes a little zoo, and a lot of entertainment facilities. You can choose to take a walk or rent a bicycle to go sightseeing. However, the transportation is not so satisfying-it was hard to hail a taxi, while taking bus to get to downtown needs almost 40 minutes. #staycation

Stopped by this gem just joy riding in the Zhangjiagang. It was such a beautiful day and kids were in the water on these big floats, boat paddles were going, and people were enjoying themselves.

Amazing night at Zhangjiagang! Old part of the town is amazing! My first stop during summer holiday! I had unfortunately only one day to see the city, but i was amazed by beautiful of the town and how polite people are! #summervacation#urbanexplorer

In Zhangjiagang, I accidentally met a small pink, pink grass that I had been thinking for so long. Finally, I found that the children in Zhangjiagang had not calmed down. Hahaha Coordinate: Zhangjiagang Xiaojia The lane features rural villages, in addition to white yarrow, as well as lavender and many other flower fields, all year round can be beautiful, and not far from here is the Phoenix Lake Ecological Park, a boat rafting lake, flower viewing + boating The combination of a static movement is also quite good.

In early November, on a whim, I decided to go on a trip with my bestie. Our main destination was Nanjing. However, we especially wanted to visit Shuangshan Island in Lianyungang. We finally decided to take the high-speed train to Lianyungang first. After spending a day there, we drove straight to Nanjing and stayed for four more days. Before setting off, we booked a car at the Yihai Car Rental store at Lianyungang High-Speed Rail Station. The car was super, super new. Lianyungang probably isn’t a major tourist city, and since it wasn’t a holiday, there weren’t many people renting cars. The staff were very professional and had a great attitude. They even politely reminded us to check the car’s condition—really excellent service overall. Lianyungang Chapter After arriving in Lianyungang, we picked up the car and took a stroll around the city before heading to the hotel. After a short rest, we decided to start a self-driving island tour on Shuangshan Island. You can drive on Shuangshan Island, but the car needs to be ferried onto the island. Personally, I think you must drive around Shuangshan Island at least once—it’s truly beautiful! The island tour started from the ferry dock on Shuangshan Island’s Slow Street. This area is adjacent to the North Wharf and is home to unique guesthouses, local restaurants, and creative shops. It’s worth stopping here to taste local delicacies, recharge, and soak in the town’s authentic atmosphere. Setting off on the island route, we soon reached Dabodun Ecological Wetland Park. Located at the island’s northeast corner, it’s lush with vegetation and a bird lover’s paradise. Strolling along the waterside boardwalk, quietly admiring the towering dawn redwoods and swaying reeds, occasionally spotting birds flying by, you can experience the tranquil beauty of the wetland ecosystem. Continuing on, the solemn Victory Crossing Park is an important red landmark on the island, inspiring respect and remembrance of the past. Next, we visited Laowei Hong Village, the only nationally recognized beautiful red village pilot in Suzhou, where you can immerse yourself in the unique charm of red culture. Driving to the northwest side of Shuangshan Island, you’ll find the scenic Haitang Bay. With the autumn breeze blowing, standing at Haitang Bay and looking across the river at the magnificent Jiangyin Yangtze River Bridge, the river breeze fills you with peace and joy. The journey’s perfect ending is the Pearl Lighthouse, a new island landmark shaped like a sailing riverboat. Climbing the observation platform, the view opens up dramatically: beneath you is the lush ecological treasure island, and in the distance flows the endless Yangtze River. The expansive river view and the sunset glow together paint a magnificent picture. After the Shuangshan Island self-driving tour, the island offers various leisure options to make the end of your trip just as wonderful. The Shuangshan Golf Course is well-equipped and pleasant, an ideal place to experience golf. On the wide green fields, you can enjoy swinging the club, and the course has rest areas and restaurants to recharge and enjoy a moment of tranquility. As night falls, you can head to Jingbo Bay Starry Sky Camp. The camp has tents and cabins, perfect for stargazing. Surrounded by woods and open lawns, the atmosphere is peaceful, and you can enjoy bonfires and barbecues, adding fun to the night. The warm winter sun is the golden season for cycling. Hop on a bike and embrace Shuangshan Island’s vast river breeze, rich ecology, and red heritage. Explore the charm of Shuangshan Xiangshan in the most comfortable way, letting your wheels measure the beauty of winter and gain a refreshing and unforgettable journey. First, I want to thank my “spur of the moment” decision for giving me the chance to experience autumn in Nanjing! Even though it was crowded, looking up at the full autumn colors was very satisfying! Nanjing Chapter We stayed at the Shangri-La Hotel in Nanjing. The location is excellent, the rooms are clean, and the service is great! If your budget allows, I recommend the lake view or skyline rooms, but I booked the cheapest city view room. Lunch: Xie Yuanwai. This restaurant is very close to the hotel, just a few minutes’ walk! I ate here three times in four days, haha! Today I ordered crab roe noodles, a huge portion and very delicious! After leaving the station, walking toward the city gate, just past the second gate, you’ll see ginkgo trees everywhere! When I went, two trees were fully yellow, and some were yellow-green, very beautiful! Right at the entrance, I saw several super cute cats! Walking a bit further, after seeing the lake, turn left. The willow trees by the lake and the big white geese in the water create a poetic scene! Continuing forward, you’ll reach the area near the Calligraphy and Painting Institute, where the popular Chinese tallow tree is located! When I went, about half the leaves had fallen, but the leaves were red, still very picturesque! After walking around, I collected many leaves, and seeing the various colors was a very special experience! Then we drove to the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. For dinner, we chose Sun’s Plum Blossom Cake - Old Drum Tower Soup Dumplings. I didn’t expect it to be an old establishment! When I arrived, only one red bean paste flavor and two fruit flavors were left, so I decisively chose the red bean paste! It wasn’t too sweet, the red bean paste was warm, and I got so excited I burned my mouth on the first bite, haha! Highly recommended! Delicious! But after eating, I still wasn’t very full, so I went next door to Old Drum Tower Soup Dumplings and tried two new pine nut roast duck shumai. Surprisingly, they were quite tasty, with real roast duck slices inside! Day 3: Experiencing the Beauty of Nanjing’s Temples While driving, there was a section of plane tree avenue with fewer people. If you have the energy, try walking into the scenic area; the scenery along the way is also very nice! I had some oden at the entrance before entering the scenic area. I took a small path to the left and soon saw a red wall gate with stunning light and shadow—I really liked it! Walking a bit further, I saw the Ming Dynasty architecture of the Beamless Hall. The ginkgo trees at the entrance were truly beautiful, carrying the weight and vicissitudes of history! Entering the Beamless Hall, I was amazed by the ancient architectural craftsmanship, and when I saw Sun Yat-sen’s will, tears suddenly fell. The revolutionary predecessors sacrificed so much for the happiness and peace we enjoy today. Exiting the Beamless Hall, in front of me was the Osmanthus King of Jinling, but unfortunately, the osmanthus had all withered by the time I came! Turning right, I reached Linggu Temple. In front of Linggu Temple stands a century-old ginkgo tree, really tall, already yellow. I lingered for a long time but couldn’t capture its beauty in photos! Turning back to the main path, I headed toward Linggu Pagoda. First, I arrived at Songfeng Pavilion. The legendary rainbow tree had mostly withered, a pity I didn’t see the most beautiful Songfeng Pavilion! Walking further, I reached Linggu Pagoda. I climbed to the third floor, and the view was quite nice! I saw photos of people who climbed to the top floor and captured the Linggu scenic area—truly breathtaking! After coming out, I returned the same way but made a detour to Linggu Deep Pine, right next to Linggu Temple, which I hadn’t visited earlier. On the way back, by the lake, there were a few small maple trees, and the sunlight felt very bright! Then I headed to Pilu Temple. There were so many people photographing the ginkgo trees, but it was really beautiful! The yellow ginkgo, white Bodhisattva statues, and red Wanfo Tower created a truly pure and sacred atmosphere! Along the way, there were many small Kṣitigarbha statues that were especially cute! Entering Wanfo Tower, I went down to the basement to count the Arhats!

Zhangjiagang's new hotel is legendary! The smart hotel just a 1-minute walk to Mambat is simply irresistible. I was pleasantly surprised by this newly opened hotel in 2025 during my business trip to Zhangjiagang! Elong Anyue Hotel (Zhangjiagang Mambat Plaza Branch) perfectly meets all accommodation needs, and after staying here, I definitely recommend it to friends planning to visit~ The hotel's location is absolutely impeccable! It’s right at No. 33 Hexi Road, just a 1-minute walk to Mambat Shopping Plaza. You don’t need a taxi for shopping, dining, or buying things; if you want to take a stroll by the Zhangjiagang riverside and enjoy the breeze, it’s only a 5-minute walk; and if you want to explore Yangshe Old Street and try local snacks at night, a leisurely 10-minute walk will get you there. Stepping outside puts you right in the core business district and attractions—location lovers can book with their eyes closed! As a newly opened hotel, all the room facilities are brand new, with top-notch quality. Special praise for the smart guest control system: you can control the lights, curtains, and air conditioning by voice. Just say “Good night mode” while lying in bed, and the curtains automatically close, the lights dim slowly, instantly creating a cozy sleeping atmosphere. The sense of technology and happiness is both on point! The bedding is soft and skin-friendly, and the bathroom facilities are also brand new, making the washing experience super comfortable with none of the worries you have at older hotels. The public areas are simple and elegant, perfect for taking great photos. Whether on a business trip or a family vacation, you can stay here with peace of mind and comfort. Having stayed in many city hotels, this one ranks among the best in terms of cost performance and experience. Next time I come to Zhangjiagang, I’ll definitely choose this place again!

In this cozy little inn in Zhangjiagang, the room is fully equipped, and single-use toiletries are provided.

The meaning of rushing around is to encounter better scenery. The meaning of a hotel is to keep every bit of warmth for you. Open the window to the city's neon lights, lie down in bed to feel the warmth of home. We are not just a place to stay, but a charging station when you are tired.

Zhangjiagang Muzi Hotel is located at 281 Chang'an Middle Road, a ten-minute walk from the city center, with affordable prices, waiting to welcome you.

Avoid the crowds, enjoy peaceful and pleasant family time, with accommodation, dining, and entertainment all in one place—stress-free for moms and worry-free! 🚗 Family Transportation Guide 1. Self-driving is recommended. After exiting the highway, you need to drive along a rural road for a while. The resort is very large, so be sure to set your navigation to "Hantian Resort Lobby" to avoid parking in remote lots. Parking lots are widely distributed, and after parking, you can call a shuttle anytime for pick-up and drop-off, which is very convenient. 2.

Traveling with kids means no walking, making it easy and worry-free. 🏠 Family Accommodation Options The resort has three sub-hotels to meet different family needs: 1️⃣ Main Building Hotel: The top choice for lake view series!

Highly recommend Liyang black rice, soft, glutinous, and sweet—kids love it! 1. Main Building 9th Floor Chinese Restaurant: Key point! Be sure to buy meal vouchers via the mini-program or Dianping for great value! A 3-person set meal costs only 480 RMB, with ample portions and a variety of dishes, including the signature fish head soup, delicious and loved by kids.
