Things to do in Xinghua

The lush forests and verdant waters complement each other perfectly, creating a truly wonderful natural oxygen bar. When I visited the park that day, a light drizzle was falling, and a gentle breeze made me feel as if I were swimming in a clear, cool oxygen bar. Without the sun's rays, that feeling of coolness is something you can't experience anywhere else.

The rapeseed flowers are especially spectacular when they bloom, and there are many photo spots set up. However, the ladies on the tour boats seem to be trying to earn tips, which is a bit shady. I hope the scenic area will strengthen its management.

The garden is quite nice, a typical traditional residence with a courtyard and back garden, indicating that Zheng Banqiao came from a relatively well-off background. Located in a prime area of ​​the city, it boasts convenient transportation and is ideal for tourism. The surrounding old town and many smaller attractions can be visited together; a combined ticket is available at an affordable price.

Xinghua Old Street is very original, with no outside merchants. There are no specialty shops in scenic spots, and there are very few tourists. You can explore the local customs and customs. There are some traditional workshops in the alley, including iron art, barrel making, woodworking, etc. There are not many other places, including teahouses and dumpling noodle shops. It is the daily life of local people.

Shanghai After Dark — The Bund Never Sleeps ✨“Where the river reflects a thousand city lights and the future rises above a timeless waterfront. The Bund is more than a view — it’s Shanghai at its most magical, where elegance, ambition, and endless dreams meet.” 🌃❤

The booking was easy, and we can only use our Passport to enter the park, and you will also get the park ticket after entered as well.I went on a weekday, but there were still a lot of visitors. The line to enter the park was quite long and took a while. There’s a bag check before entering (and it was a bit odd to see that some people weren’t allowed to bring in certain items, while others seemed to get them through).The lines for the rides were also long, depending on which attraction you choose. If you don’t want to wait too long, you can buy special passes.Even though the regular queues take time, the overall crowd management is quite good. The park is also clean.Overall, it was a fun experience, but you may need to plan your rides and timing if you want to get through everything you want.

My second visit to West Lake was great; the boat tour was excellent. The dock was easy to find, the staff were very friendly, provided clear explanations, and helped with any issues. There were also sightseeing buses, which were nice but a bit pricey. Taking the boat tour and then walking around was both perfectly fine.

I have been quite tired recently. My work has been greatly affected by the epidemic. I have not yet fully resumed work and production. I took the opportunity to visit northern Jiangsu. Shagou Ancient Town is the second stop. The first stop was Jiangyan, which can only be said to be average. It is different from Shagou Ancient Town. The atmosphere of life here is relatively strong. Now many tourism developments are exactly the same as Suzhou and Hangzhou, with cookie-cutter attractions and replica cities. The original intention of tourism is to find the lost self. Shagou Ancient Town does have the shadow of a small town where I lived in my childhood, with a deeper sense of history and a stronger humanistic atmosphere. I sincerely hope that the future here will not be as clichéd as other cities, but will remain authentic. I also hope that the residents of Shagou Ancient Town will wait for the flowers to bloom and the moon to shine, so that the ancient town can return to the stage of history. The words are rather messy, purely complaints.

Well, maybe I came at the wrong time of year; Slender West Lake wasn't as beautiful as I expected. While it was still nice, it felt more like a large park, and the attractions were rather scattered.

You’ll get an Incredible experience if you plan to get closer with Chinese cuisine from absolutely different provinces but in very aesthetic way 🌆
