11 Reverse Tourism: Budget Travel to Less Popular Cities
Travel Guide to Linhai, Yancheng, Fuzhou, and Jixi These four cities are located in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Anhui provinces, each with its own distinct character: Linhai is an ancient city with Song Dynasty charm at the foot of the "Great Wall of Jiangnan"; Yancheng is an ecological city where wetlands, deer, and sea salt culture intertwine; Fuzhou is the hometown of Tang Xianzu, known as the "Hometown of Talented Scholars"; and Jixi is a hidden gem of Huizhou culture. Below is a summary of key activities and practical information for each city. I. Linhai (Taizhou, Zhejiang) Keywords: Great Wall of Jiangnan, Ziyang Ancient Street, Nuojiji Snacks Core Attractions The Taizhou City Wall, certified by National Geographic as the "Great Wall of Jiangnan," is an important blueprint for the Ming Dynasty Great Wall in the north. Recommended Route: Lansheng Gate → Baiyun Tower → Yanxia Pavilion → Chaotian Gate → Wangjiang Gate → Xingshan Gate, approximately 2 hours in total. The section between the No. 3 and No. 2 watchtowers features the "most beautiful S-curve" of the entire city wall. The city wall can be climbed for free from Xingshan Gate before 7:00 AM and after 6:00 PM daily. Ziyang Street is an ancient street that still retains the lifestyle of the original inhabitants; the further you walk in, the more authentic it becomes. Along the main street, you can connect Longxing Temple, the Zhu Ziqing Memorial Hall, the former site of the People's Bank, Taizhou Confucian Temple, and the Drum Tower. Longxing Temple was first built in the Tang Dynasty, and its Thousand Buddha Brick Pagoda is one of the few remaining Yuan Dynasty pagodas in Zhejiang, with exquisite brick carvings. Donghu Park is the location where Zhu Ziqing described "viewing the willows and water from the waterside pavilion." The Nine-Bend Bridge and the pavilion in the middle of the lake form a typical Jiangnan garden landscape. Linghu Lake is a "green energy field" for Linhai residents; you can rent a bike to cycle around the lake, perfect for a slower pace. Suggested Itinerary: 2 days 1 night. Day 1: Ancient City Tour (Xingshan Gate → Longxing Temple → Ziyang Street → Donghu Lake); Day 2: Great Wall Climb (City God Temple to the city wall → Wangtiantai → Yanxia Pavilion → Chaotian Gate → West Street). The city wall is best viewed from the City God Temple and descended through Xingshan Gate, as the entire route is downhill and easier. Food Recommendations Linhai is famous for its "glutinous rice balls." Egg white sheep's tail is a signature dessert, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet but not cloying, and was once served at Emperor Qianlong's Thousand Elders Banquet. Other local specialties include seaweed cakes (best eaten fresh out of the oven), black rice cakes, plum blossom cakes, wheat shrimp, wheat cakes, and fermented rice soup. Baitaqiao Hotel's signature dishes include egg white sheep's tail, chilled eight-treasure rice, and seasonal seafood; Wanjun Xiaochu's three-delicacy wheat shrimp and fried rice cakes are also worth trying. Best Season: April-May and September-November, with pleasant weather. Avoid the typhoon season from June to September. II. Yancheng (Jiangsu) Keywords: Wetland deer, sea salt culture, Yancheng water town Core Attractions The China Sea Salt Museum is the only sea salt-themed exhibition hall in the country. Learn about Yancheng's thousand-year history of "being born from salt" starting here. The New Fourth Army Memorial Hall and Yancheng City Museum are options to choose from, or you can visit both, depending on your interests. The Dayangwan Ecological Tourism Area is suitable for an afternoon stroll. In the evening, head to Yanzhen Water Street to see the riverside buildings and night views. The Water Street is better visited at night; the atmosphere is relatively ordinary during the day. The China Milu Deer Park is the core attraction of Dafeng. The park is quite large, and you can combine sightseeing with a tour bus tour of the deer's activity area and wetland landscape. Milu deer are wild animals, and whether you can see them up close depends on the season and weather. Do not feed or chase the animals during your visit. Suggested Itinerary: 2 days and 1 night. A "city + Dafeng" route is recommended. Don't try to cram Tiaozini, Red-crowned Cranes, Milu Deer Park, and Yellow Sea Forest Park all into one itinerary. Go to Dafeng to see Milu deer, Sheyang to see red-crowned cranes, and Tiaozini to see migratory birds on the mudflats. Choose only one highlight for each two days. Food Recommendations Yancheng's "Eight Bowls" is a national intangible cultural heritage dish praised by CCTV, including eight classic dishes such as braised pork belly, chicken wrapped in chicken, braised glutinous rice balls, steamed cake, and radish stewed with mussels. Dongtai fish soup noodles have a history of over 200 years; the soup is thick like milk, fresh but not greasy, and won a medal at the Panama International Exposition. Jianhu lotus root starch balls, Wuyou drunken snails, and Funing rice cakes are also local specialties. Drunken snails are a type of pickled seafood; those with sensitive stomachs should not eat too much at once. Best Season: April-May for tulip viewing in the Dutch-style flower fields; October to February of the following year for observing red-crowned cranes and migratory birds. Yancheng's scenic spots are scattered along the coastline; driving is the most convenient option. Those not driving should confirm direct shuttle bus routes to the scenic areas in advance. III. Fuzhou (Jiangxi) Keywords: Hometown of Talented Scholars, Tang Xianzu, Linchuan Beef Offal Core Attractions Fuzhou, formerly known as Linchuan, is the hometown of Tang Xianzu, Wang Anshi, and Zeng Gong, boasting a rich cultural heritage. Wenchangli Historical and Cultural District is the birthplace of Tang Xianzu. The ancient streets from the Ming and Qing dynasties hold many surprises, and there's a live performance of "The Peony Pavilion" in the evening. Both the Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall and the Wang Anshi Memorial Hall are free to enter (entry by ID card), and the two are not far apart. Zhengjue Ancient Temple, originally built in the Tang Dynasty, remains full of Zen spirit despite reconstruction. No entrance fee, and it's less crowded and less-visited. St. Joseph's Catholic Church is tucked away in the ancient streets, a great spot for taking photos. If time permits, you can extend your trip to Le'an Liukeng Ancient Village (a thousand-year-old village) or Zixi Dajue Mountain Scenic Area (cable car ride through the sea of clouds, visit the thousand-year-old Dajue Temple, entrance fee + sightseeing bus + rafting package approximately 260 yuan). Suggested Itinerary: A suggested one-day city tour route: Zhengjue Ancient Temple → Wenchangli → St. Joseph's Catholic Church → Yulong Wanshou Palace → Niyantai → Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall → Wang Anshi Memorial Hall → Fuzhou Museum → Sanweng Park. If you have a 3-day itinerary, you can add Liukeng Ancient Village or Dajue Mountain. Food Recommendations Linchuan Beef Offal is the most representative food of Fuzhou. It was awarded the title of "China's Famous Snack" in 2018, and its preparation technique was listed as a provincial intangible cultural heritage in 2021. Luojia Lane in Shangdun Ferry Town, Linchuan District, is a famous "Beef Offal Street."

Other specialties include Nanfeng Clear Soup (thin-skinned wontons), Linchuan Beef Tripe, and Le'an Fermented Fish. Best Season: March-May and September-November are the top choices. Spring offers fields of rapeseed flowers, and autumn's clear skies are perfect for visiting ancient buildings and academies. In summer, you can go rafting at Dajue Mountain to escape the heat. IV. Jixi (Xuancheng, Anhui) Keywords: Huihang Ancient Road, Longchuan Ancient Village, Hu Shi's One-Pot Dish Core Attractions Longchuan Scenic Area is a thousand-year-old village shaped like a ship. It produced famous figures such as Hu Zongxian and Hu Xueyan. The wood carvings in the Hu Clan Ancestral Hall are hailed as a "museum of wood carving art." Longchuan Water Street offers a glimpse into the idyllic Huizhou landscape with its bridges, flowing water, and traditional houses. Entrance fee: approximately 75 yuan. The Huihang Ancient Road is a classic route for hiking enthusiasts. It runs from Fuling Town in Jixi to Yonglai Village, a total of about 18 kilometers, requiring 6-7 hours. It passes through key points such as the First Pass of Jiangnan, Shicha Pavilion, and Lantian'ao (the highest point). If your physical condition is average, you can just hike the essential section from the First Pass of Jiangnan (about 2-3 hours). Entrance fee: approximately 58 yuan. Zhangshan Grand Canyon is known for its clear pools and unique rocks. Entrance fee: approximately 49 yuan. The streamside trail is about 2.5 kilometers one way and is a great place for water activities in summer. Meiganling Viewpoint is free. In the early morning or after rain, you can see the terraced fields and villages with white walls and black tiles shrouded in mist, like a living ink painting. Renli Ancient Town differs from the commercialized Longchuan; it's a free and "living" ancient village. Its maze-like "Eighteen Lanes" and the quiet lives of elderly people make it perfect for a leisurely stroll. Suggested Itinerary: 3 days 2 nights. Day 1: Meiganling Viewpoint → Zhangshan Grand Canyon; Day 2: Huihang Ancient Trail Hiking; Day 3: Longchuan Scenic Area → Renli Ancient Town. If you only have 2 days, you can simplify it to Day 1: Ancient Village Cultural Tour (Jixi Museum → Longchuan → Renli), Day 2: The best section of the Huihang Ancient Trail. Food Recommendations: Jixi is known as the "Hometown of Anhui Cuisine". Hu Shi's One-Pot Stew is a famous dish from Jixi, where layers of ingredients are stewed together. The bottom layer consists of shredded radish, bamboo shoots, and other vegetables; the middle layer is filled with pork belly, tofu buns, quail eggs, and meatballs; and the top layer is egg dumplings and pieces of free-range chicken. Slow-cooked over low heat, every bite is infused with the aromas of meat, beans, and vegetables. Stinky Mandarin Fish is a representative of Anhui cuisine's "smells bad, tastes good" characteristic; the fish meat is shaped like garlic cloves and melts in your mouth. Jixi Tart Cake is most classic with a preserved vegetable filling; the outer skin is golden and crispy, making a satisfying "crunch" with every bite. Other local specialties include Jixi Fried Vermicelli, Braised Vermicelli, and Water-filled Buns. Intercity Travel Suggestions The four cities are located in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Anhui provinces, and can be connected by high-speed rail. There is a direct high-speed train from Yancheng to Linhai (such as G7472, approximately 5 hours and 42 minutes), and there are also trains from Linhai to Yancheng (approximately 5 hours and 5 minutes). Fuzhou and Jixi are connected by the Xuancheng-Jixi High-Speed Railway, with the fastest journey from Xuancheng to Jixi North Station taking only 39 minutes. If planning to visit all four cities in one trip, a suggested route is: Linhai → Yancheng → Fuzhou → Jixi (or vice versa), allocating 2-3 days to each city, for a total trip of approximately 10-12 days. If time is limited, you can choose based on seasonal preference: in spring, prioritize Linhai + Jixi (spring flowers in the ancient city and rapeseed flowers in Huizhou); in autumn and winter, prioritize Yancheng (migratory birds) + Fuzhou (autumn colors and ancient architecture). The best travel windows for all four cities are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November), when the weather is comfortable and each city offers its seasonal scenery, making it the most suitable time to visit them in a combined trip. Travel Guide to Linhai, Yancheng, Fuzhou, and Jixi These four cities are located in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Anhui provinces, each with its own distinct character: Linhai is an ancient city with Song Dynasty charm at the foot of the "Great Wall of Jiangnan"; Yancheng is an ecological city where wetlands, deer, and sea salt culture intertwine; Fuzhou is the hometown of Tang Xianzu, known as the "Hometown of Talented Scholars"; and Jixi is a hidden gem of Huizhou culture. Below is a summary of key activities and practical information for each city. I. Linhai (Taizhou, Zhejiang) Keywords: Great Wall of Jiangnan, Ziyang Ancient Street, Nuojiji Snacks Core Attractions The Taizhou City Wall, certified by National Geographic as the "Great Wall of Jiangnan," is an important blueprint for the Ming Dynasty Great Wall in the north. Recommended Route: Lansheng Gate → Baiyun Tower → Yanxia Pavilion → Chaotian Gate → Wangjiang Gate → Xingshan Gate, approximately 2 hours in total. The section between the No. 3 and No. 2 watchtowers features the "most beautiful S-curve" of the entire city wall. The city wall can be climbed for free from Xingshan Gate before 7:00 AM and after 6:00 PM daily. Ziyang Street is an ancient street that still retains the lifestyle of the original inhabitants; the further you walk in, the more authentic it becomes. Along the main street, you can connect Longxing Temple, the Zhu Ziqing Memorial Hall, the former site of the People's Bank, Taizhou Confucian Temple, and the Drum Tower. Longxing Temple was first built in the Tang Dynasty, and its Thousand Buddha Brick Pagoda is one of the few remaining Yuan Dynasty pagodas in Zhejiang, with exquisite brick carvings. Donghu Park is the location where Zhu Ziqing described "viewing the willows and water from the waterside pavilion." The Nine-Bend Bridge and the pavilion in the middle of the lake form a typical Jiangnan garden landscape. Linghu Lake is a "green energy field" for Linhai residents; you can rent a bike to cycle around the lake, perfect for a slower pace. Suggested Itinerary: 2 days 1 night. Day 1: Ancient City Tour (Xingshan Gate → Longxing Temple → Ziyang Street → Donghu Lake); Day 2: Great Wall Climb (City God Temple to the city wall → Wangtiantai → Yanxia Pavilion → Chaotian Gate → West Street). The city wall is best viewed from the City God Temple and descended through Xingshan Gate, as the entire route is downhill and easier. Food Recommendations Linhai is famous for its "glutinous rice balls." Egg white sheep's tail is a signature dessert, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet but not cloying, and was once served at Emperor Qianlong's Thousand Elders Banquet. Other local specialties include seaweed cakes (best eaten fresh out of the oven), black rice cakes, plum blossom cakes, wheat shrimp, wheat cakes, and fermented rice soup. Baitaqiao Hotel's signature dishes include egg white sheep's tail, chilled eight-treasure rice, and seasonal seafood; Wanjun Xiaochu's three-delicacy wheat shrimp and fried rice cakes are also worth trying. Best Season: April-May and September-November, with pleasant weather. Avoid the typhoon season from June to September. II. Yancheng (Jiangsu) Keywords: Wetland deer, sea salt culture, Yancheng water town Core Attractions The China Sea Salt Museum is the only sea salt-themed exhibition hall in the country. Learn about Yancheng's thousand-year history of "being born from salt" starting here. The New Fourth Army Memorial Hall and Yancheng City Museum are options to choose from, or you can visit both, depending on your interests. The Dayangwan Ecological Tourism Area is suitable for an afternoon stroll. In the evening, head to Yanzhen Water Street to see the riverside buildings and night views. The Water Street is better visited at night; the atmosphere is relatively ordinary during the day. The China Milu Deer Park is the core attraction of Dafeng. The park is quite large, and you can combine sightseeing with a tour bus tour of the deer's activity area and wetland landscape. Milu deer are wild animals, and whether you can see them up close depends on the season and weather. Do not feed or chase the animals during your visit. Suggested Itinerary: 2 days and 1 night. A "city + Dafeng" route is recommended. Don't try to cram Tiaozini, Red-crowned Cranes, Milu Deer Park, and Yellow Sea Forest Park all into one itinerary. Go to Dafeng to see Milu deer, Sheyang to see red-crowned cranes, and Tiaozini to see migratory birds on the mudflats. Choose only one highlight for each two days. Food Recommendations Yancheng's "Eight Bowls" is a national intangible cultural heritage dish praised by CCTV, including eight classic dishes such as braised pork belly, chicken wrapped in chicken, braised glutinous rice balls, steamed cake, and radish stewed with mussels. Dongtai fish soup noodles have a history of over 200 years; the soup is thick like milk, fresh but not greasy, and won a medal at the Panama International Exposition. Jianhu lotus root starch balls, Wuyou drunken snails, and Funing rice cakes are also local specialties. Drunken snails are a type of pickled seafood; those with sensitive stomachs should not eat too much at once. Best Season: April-May for tulip viewing in the Dutch-style flower fields; October to February of the following year for observing red-crowned cranes and migratory birds. Yancheng's scenic spots are scattered along the coastline; driving is the most convenient option. Those not driving should confirm direct shuttle bus routes to the scenic areas in advance. III. Fuzhou (Jiangxi) Keywords: Hometown of Talented Scholars, Tang Xianzu, Linchuan Beef Offal Core Attractions Fuzhou, formerly known as Linchuan, is the hometown of Tang Xianzu, Wang Anshi, and Zeng Gong, boasting a rich cultural heritage. Wenchangli Historical and Cultural District is the birthplace of Tang Xianzu. The ancient streets from the Ming and Qing dynasties hold many surprises, and there's a live performance of "The Peony Pavilion" in the evening. Both the Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall and the Wang Anshi Memorial Hall are free to enter (entry by ID card), and the two are not far apart. Zhengjue Ancient Temple, originally built in the Tang Dynasty, remains full of Zen spirit despite reconstruction. No entrance fee, and it's less crowded and less-visited. St. Joseph's Catholic Church is tucked away in the ancient streets, a great spot for taking photos. If time permits, you can extend your trip to Le'an Liukeng Ancient Village (a thousand-year-old village) or Zixi Dajue Mountain Scenic Area (cable car ride through the sea of clouds, visit the thousand-year-old Dajue Temple, entrance fee + sightseeing bus + rafting package approximately 260 yuan). Suggested Itinerary: A suggested one-day city tour route: Zhengjue Ancient Temple → Wenchangli → St. Joseph's Catholic Church → Yulong Wanshou Palace → Niyantai → Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall → Wang Anshi Memorial Hall → Fuzhou Museum → Sanweng Park.

Stumbled into a fairytale wonderland, a hidden gem you'll want to visit twice
🏰 Step into a storybook! A fun day out with kids at Andersen Wonderland Hello! Get ready to set off and dive straight into the fairytale world created by Andersen. Whether you're bringing kids or you're an adult looking to rediscover your inner child, this place is full of atmosphere. Here is a complete guide for your visit. 🎫 Tickets 🎫 It's best to book online in advance. Distinguish between regular daytime and evening sessions, and check the policies for concession tickets. Simply scan your e-ticket to enter, saving time waiting at the window. Most rides in the park are included in the ticket price, while a few specific experiences require extra payment. 🎫 Tips: Don't arrive right before closing. Leave yourself enough time to play. If you leave the park, you'll need to buy a new ticket to re-enter. Some rides may be temporarily closed for maintenance. Please check the on-site notices. 🏨 Hotels 🏨 For a worry-free family stay, the Qianhehu Hotel is the top choice. It's just over 300 meters from the park, within walking distance, and features a children's play area. The rooms are spacious, and the family suites are perfect for a family stay. Parking is also convenient. 🏨 If you're looking for great value, the Qianhehu Reis Hotel is also very close to the park. It offers quiet lake-view rooms and a great breakfast experience, making it suitable for family trips. 🏨 Tips: Rooms fill up quickly on weekends and holidays, so be sure to book in advance. Prioritize room types that include breakfast to save the trouble of finding food in the morning. If traveling with kids, try to avoid street-facing rooms to ensure a good night's sleep. 🚗 Transportation 🚗 If driving, navigate directly to the park. The park has a dedicated parking lot with plenty of spaces. 🚗 For public transport, arrive at the nearest high-speed railway station, then take a taxi or ride-hailing service directly to the park entrance. 🚗 Tips: The parking lot fills up easily on holidays, so try to arrive early. After arriving by public transport, don't trust vehicles soliciting passengers on the side of the road. Parking for non-motorized vehicles at the park entrance is limited; do not park indiscriminately. 📅 Itinerary (1-day trip, recommended duration 4–5 hours) 📅 Enter the park in the morning and head straight to the landmark Mermaid Castle. You can take a quick tour inside the castle. Prioritize rides with shorter lines. Take your time strolling through the Thumbelina Garden; the giant mushroom installations are very whimsical. 📅 Have lunch nearby and take a short break. In the afternoon, finish the remaining rides, explore the Emperor's New Clothes Square, and try the interactive installations. Wait until the evening when the light is soft for photos. If there's an evening session, stay to enjoy the castle lights for a fully immersive atmosphere. 📅 Tips: Popular rides have long lines on weekends, so try to visit them during off-peak times. Bring a change of clothes for kids, as some rides involve water. Manage your energy wisely; don't try to do everything at once. 📸 Best photo spots: The stairs behind Mermaid Castle (avoid crowds to get a full view of the castle), the flower maze in Thumbelina Garden, the fun statues at the Emperor's New Clothes Square, and the main carousel when it lights up in the evening. Wearing light-colored clothing makes for better photos. 🍲 Food 🍲 For a nearby option, choose Muxian Worldless Cuisine on the park's commercial street. They have a rich menu with fried chicken and steak, which is great for kids. The restaurant has an elegant environment, perfect for dining after your visit. 🍲 If you want a warm soup base, choose Junyan Yunnan Wild Mushroom Hot Pot. The mushroom and chicken soup base is light and delicious, suitable for all ages. It's very comforting to drink a bowl of hot soup after a long day. 🍲 Tips: The commercial street gets crowded during meal times, so try to eat during off-peak hours. Snacks inside the park are relatively expensive, so you might want to bring some light snacks and bottled water. If traveling with kids, try to avoid overly spicy or oily dishes. ✨ Summary: Andersen Wonderland is perfect for families and young people who love a fairytale atmosphere and want to take photos or relax. The park's rides are gentle and family-oriented, without any overly thrilling large equipment, balancing fun and photo opportunities. The one-day trip pace is manageable. Staying at a nearby hotel within walking distance allows for an all-in-one experience of eating and playing without the hassle of traveling back and forth, letting you fully immerse yourself in the fairytale atmosphere.

The hotel itself is elegantly decorated, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Ella is warm, sincere, and provides attentive and thoughtful service, ensuring a very comfortable stay throughout!
Anonymous userRed-Crowned Crane Wetland Ecological Tourism Area
The Red-crowned Crane Park is quite far from the city center. There were many tourists, but because it's so large, it didn't feel crowded. I went outside the red-crowned crane migration season, so I didn't see the spectacular sight of flocks of cranes flying overhead, but there were still performances by artificially bred red-crowned cranes to watch. While not as entertaining, the wetland scenery was truly breathtaking, a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, making it a place I wanted to linger in. I would definitely come back again if I had the chance.
Anonymous userBoxin Huangsha Port Scenic Area
The children's library at Boxin Plaza is truly amazing! The environment is bright and clean, with a wide variety of picture books and children's books. The automatic book lending and returning machine is especially convenient—just put the book on it and you're good to go. There's also a book sterilization machine nearby, which is both worry-free and reassuring…
M33***82Humble Administrator's Garden
The garden is just amazing. I can spend all day there. The weather was bad. Therefore recommending to travel on september
Narmin1998Nanjing | Hua Chenyu Mars Concert 2.0
🔥The Mars Concert was absolutely amazing! The immersive Mars stage atmosphere was incredible, Hua Chenyu's live vocals were incredibly stable, and every song was so captivating. The fireworks, lights, and music blended perfectly, creating a two-way flow with the Martians—both exhilarating and healing. It was a complete escape from reality, a beautiful dream with a powerful aftertaste, definitely worth attending countless times! ✨
Anonymous userTsingtao Beer Museum
Convenient, just scan the code to enter. It's a combined A and B hall, with a single-line design so you don't backtrack… Just follow the signs. At the end of the two halls, there's a free beer area; you can get two. The second one was replaced with hot beer tea, which was also quite nice… At the exit, there's a souvenir shop. The beer mugs were in secure packaging to prevent them from tipping over, so I searched online for the same model from the official flagship store. The mug arrived home before I even got there!
Chenting228Niushou Mountain Cultural Tourism Zone
No one can help but be awestruck by the architecture and splendor of Niushou Mountain. It houses the Buddha's skull relic, a supreme Buddhist treasure. The mountain is also very accessible for the elderly; after disembarking from the sightseeing bus, an extremely long escalator leads directly to the Buddha's Palace. Every detail is worth exploring. A sacred Buddhist site, faith nourishes all things. It's recommended to start with the underground palace, which is open to the public for approximately 21 days each year.
kang kangLaoshan Scenic Spot
Laoshan's reputation as a famous mountain by the sea is truly well-deserved. Climbing to the summit at Yangkou offers panoramic views of the azure sea and sky, while exploring the Mitian Cave is incredibly fun. The ancient trees and red walls of Taiqing Palace add a touch of Taoist tranquility. The blend of mountains, sea, and culture creates a stunning landscape. The only downside is the shuttle service within the scenic area; long queues during holidays and inefficient connections slow things down. Visiting during off-peak seasons will greatly enhance the experience.
Anonymous userSlender West Lake
Slender West Lake truly lives up to its reputation as a classic Yangzhou garden, with its elegant lake scenery and scattered pavilions. The iconic Five Pavilion Bridge, White Pagoda, and Twenty-Four Bridges are all charming, offering picturesque views along the way. The scenic roads are smooth, with plenty of benches for rest, and you can also take a sightseeing bus for a more relaxed experience. The park is clean and refreshing; a leisurely stroll allows you to fully immerse yourself in the poetic beauty of Jiangnan, making the trip worthwhile. 👍
