Explore Jiangyin by Subway in Summer: The Complete Guide to Line S1

Last time I visited Jiangyin, I heard about the popularity of the S1 subway line, which just opened on January 31st this year 🆕. It is currently the only subway line in Jiangyin, and it provides direct access between Wuxi and Jiangyin. So, for this trip back to Jiangyin, I specifically planned a subway line tour, which is both eco-friendly +1 and convenient +1! 🚇 Subway Stations: Jiangyin Bund Station - Zhongshan Park Station - Nanmen Station - Jiangyin Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Station - Jiangyin High-speed Railway Station - Nanzha Station - Qiaoqi Station - Qingyang Station - Mazhen Station 👉 First Stop: Jiangyin Bund Summer is definitely the time to enjoy the river breeze. Just a few dozen meters from the station, you'll find the Yangtze River view, which is simply breathtaking! Goose Beak Park/Shipyard Park/Shad Fish Port Park/Leek Port Park/Huangshan Forest Park are all classic spots connected one after another. To walk through the entire riverside fortress tourist area, you need to reserve enough time and energy. Nearby food recommendations: Mabang Restaurant, Jinfu Hotel, etc. 👉 Second Stop: Zhongshan Park First of all, you must visit the Zhongshan Park that shares its name with the subway station. Mr. Sun Yat-sen really did visit here! Next, I recommend Xingguo Park with its thousand-year-old pagoda, a damaged tower that records the past and present of Jiangyin. Nearby, there's also Jiangyin Pedestrian Street, the old site of the Fortress Command, Jiangyin Wenmiao (Confucian Temple), and the former residence of the Liu brothers. If time permits, you can check them out one by one. Nearby food recommendations: Yongfengyuan Hotel, Wuyue Restaurant, Yongsheng Noodle House, etc. 👉 Third Stop: Nanmen Nanmen Station is very close to the Zhongyi Street Block and Nanmen Babu, which has a more youthful commercial atmosphere compared to the old-fashioned Jiangyin Pedestrian Street of the previous stop. In addition to shopping and eating, you can also take a look at the Xicheng Canal Park along the way and GET a completely different beauty from that of the Yangtze River! Nearby food recommendations: Lao Tang Qian, Chengfu Dim Sum Shop, etc. 👉 Fourth Stop: Mazhen The hometown of the famous pioneer travel blogger Xu Xiake is right here! So, when you come to Jiangyin, how can you not pay homage to Mr. Xu's ancestral home? Nearby food recommendations: Jinyu Private Kitchen, Tianhang Fish Port, etc. 👉 Fifth Stop: Qingyang Because I saw the relics unearthed from Wukong Temple at the Jiangyin City Museum, I made a special trip to see the rebuilt Wukong Temple. Now Ta has been expanded into the Guanyin Cultural Expo Park, with Song Dynasty-style architecture consisting of the Sangha Pagoda Garden, Wukong Zen Temple, and Guanyin Cultural Exhibition Hall. It's super impressive! Nearby food recommendations: Fuda Hotel, Gonghe Yong Cake Shop, etc. 👉 Sixth Stop: Nanzha I heard that Shishan Lake here is the real treasure spot for the people of Jiangyin. It has transformed from a once-abandoned quarry into its current beautiful state. You can also GET a one-stop experience of camping/barbecue/fruit and vegetable picking/temple blessings/creative markets and other fun and interesting activities, perfect for a summer blast! Nearby food recommendations: Ruiyun Building, Shishan Lake Local Cuisine Restaurant, etc.
