nicole216I recommend going in the afternoon and staying until evening to see the beautiful sunset. I suggest skipping the sightseeing bus; there's a free shuttle bus available. If you have time, you can walk to the pier; the scenery along the way is also very nice. Bring bread in advance so you can feed the animals on the way. It's getting cold, so remember to wear warm clothes, including a hat and scarf.

Anonymous userWe went at night, and it was so cold. There was also water mist spraying inside the park. I highly recommend that anyone going in winter dress warmly. The combination of the iron-stunt performance and the fireworks/drone show was quite nice, but I personally thought the iron-stunt performance was better. There seemed to be very few staff members. After watching the iron-stunt performance, I wanted to get to the next area, but I could only follow the crowd and couldn't find any staff to ask for help.

D69***14The tickets were a bit pricey. There was a small stall selling incense, but the vendors seemed inexplicably impatient, and there was such a menacing aura at the foot of the Buddha statue—were there lurking demons? The Buddha statue was truly awe-inspiring! The performance was mediocre! The separately charged ticket wasn't worth it.
54.6/5Anonymous userA garden of exquisite beauty, nestled halfway up Taihu Lake. The beauty of Liyuan Garden lies in its ingenious design, with bridges every three steps and scenic views every five; in the vibrant interplay of pavilions reflected in the clear waters and blossoms adorning the banks. Spring brings peach blossoms, summer offers the fragrance of lotus in the breeze, autumn showcases the sparse shadows of osmanthus, and winter reveals snow-covered eaves. Time seems to slow here, each scene unfolding like a traditional Chinese ink painting, revealing the unique gentleness and elegance of Jiangnan.

M22***35The town does have some scenery and offers a few small shows. If you go on weekends or holidays, they'll let you park in the temporary parking lot at the entrance, but it's still quite a walk to the scenic area service center—about 20 minutes! If you stay inside the scenic area, it's very close. To see the fireworks show, you should generally choose the first show at 6:30 PM; the 8 PM show is too late.

*蚂蚁8Nanchang Street is a very long street. It seems to have been developed in at least three phases, stretching farther and farther away. Every city has this ancient street, with similar contents and similar goods. The main attraction is the scenery along the river. The CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage is carefully selected and meticulously crafted, and the scenery and lighting are magnificent. The main street is wide, while the side streets are narrow. There are many open-air cafes and teahouses along the river, which are mosquito-infested.

泡芙小妹妹Absolutely stunning, a veritable paradise on earth! We were lucky to visit during the first snowfall of the new year; the bamboo forest was a breathtakingly beautiful blanket of white. However, the wind was biting, and we were freezing after taking the cable car to the summit. There's a cafe at the top that offers snacks and pasta 🍝, perfect for replenishing your energy. I recommend taking the cable car up and hiking down. The cable car costs an extra 60 yuan per person (a bit pricey). Different routes offer different scenery. The entire visit takes at least 4 hours, so I suggest leaving early!

Although it was crowded during the Spring Festival holiday, the ticket discounts made it worthwhile. The only downside was the parking fee, which was a bit expensive!
