Things to do in Xinyi

The Qinhuai River, stretching for ten miles, is a hub of culture. Lanterns reflect on the water, and painted boats glide across the waves. On one side lies the thousand-year-old cultural heritage of the Confucius Temple and the Jiangnan Examination Hall, while on the other side are the bustling streets, snacks, and lively atmosphere of the city. Elegance and popular culture blend together here, and the night view of Nanjing unfolds along the riverbank.

Luoma Lake Beach Park is an artificial beach with numerous sand sculptures. Strolling through it, one might feel as if they are in the sands of Egypt. Especially at sunset, the sky is ablaze with color, painting the water red, and the interplay of light and shadow on the lake is exceptionally beautiful. Take a leisurely stroll, feel the lakeside breeze, admire the sand sculptures, and watch the sunset. You don't need to expect the grandeur of the ocean; the lake scenery has its own unique charm.

This was my first time visiting Baotu Spring. I went in the afternoon to avoid the crowds, so the experience wasn't too bad. The three springs were bubbling away, and the water was crystal clear. No wonder it's called the City of Springs! 👍

Today's visit to the zoo was quite nice. The drive-through experience was excellent, and I saw all the animals I wanted to see. The shows were also very entertaining. I'll definitely come again next time I have the chance.

There are numerous performances throughout the day in the ancient city, and the night view after the lights come on at the entrance is truly beautiful. "Guoxiu Langya" is top-notch in terms of stage design, lighting, hardware, special effects, and lighting effects, and is definitely worth watching!

Immerse yourself in the history of ancient imperial tombs and learn about ancient engineering technology.

Visiting a real tomb-turned-tomb site for the first time, I was truly awestruck by the wisdom of the Han Dynasty people. The anti-theft notice written by Liu Zhu, "There's no silver buried here," was also quite interesting and a novel experience. Outside, there's a beautiful garden, many interesting stone carvings, and plaques treasured in the Imperial Edict Museum—it was quite impressive.

Huaguo Mountain in Lianyungang is a national 5A-level tourist attraction and the hometown and main filming location of Sun Wukong in the classic novel "Journey to the West". It combines unique peaks, strange rocks, seas of clouds, and macaques. The main peak, Jade Maiden Peak, reaches an altitude of 624.4 meters, making it the highest peak in Jiangsu Province. The scenic area is dotted with attractions such as the Water Curtain Cave, Sanyuan Palace, and Seventy-Two Caves, offering both mythological charm and panoramic views of the Yellow Sea, earning it the reputation of "the most beautiful scenic spot in the East China Sea".

Lian Island Scenic Area boasts beautiful scenery, soft sandy beaches, and clear waters. The island offers numerous seafood stalls, making it ideal for a relaxing vacation. The scenic area is well-managed and has excellent facilities, but it can get crowded during peak season. Overall, it was a good experience, and I recommend visiting outside of peak times. I visited during off-peak season, which contributed to my excellent experience.

The most worthwhile scenic spot to visit in Suqian is Xiang Yu's hometown. The scenic area is clean and tidy. The Xiang Yu sculpture at the entrance is very nice, but the purple flowers decorating the gate are too out of place and a flaw.
