Things to do in Yixing

There were too many people during the holidays. It's quite a large place to walk around. I couldn't get on the mini train because the queue was at least 2 hours long. The fireworks show and light fountain at night were pretty good, and the performances in the public square were also quite nice.

The scenic area is quite large, and the cable car saved us the trouble of climbing the mountain. Strolling through the bamboo forest was very pleasant. The electric cart drivers were also quite helpful. It would be even better if the road signs between attractions were clearer, as it was always confusing to find the right way at intersections.

Overall, it was a good experience. Strolling through Shanjuan Cave in a light drizzle had a unique charm. I visited more than 30 years ago, and this time I found it had changed a lot. The scenic area is well-developed, and the paths are much easier to navigate. The only thing I think needs improvement is Luoyan Mountain, which you can take the cable car up to. There's not much to see on the mountain, mainly just a small pavilion. It would be better if there were more attractions to visit.

Zhanggong Cave, located in Yixing, is a masterpiece of nature. Legend has it that Zhang Guolao (a legendary figure associated with the Chinese people) once lived here. Parking is convenient and costs 15 yuan. The entire scenic area consists of a karst cave, rafting, an underground river, and a pottery workshop. It's perfect for summer visits. The cave has four levels, with a year-round temperature of around 10 degrees Celsius. After exiting the cave, there's a Taoist temple and a God of Wealth temple where you can offer incense for free.

The town nestled at the foot of the Lingshan Grand Buddha is breathtakingly beautiful in spring, like something out of a fairytale. There's also a lighting ceremony in the evening. It's recommended to enter the park in the afternoon, watch the performance in the evening, and leave completely satisfied.

蜀山古南街，这样逛体验感最好|||整条街不长，建筑很有江南水乡的风格和花岗石的地面相呼应很古朴。整条街上都是大大小小的店铺，里面各式各样的紫砂壶、紫砂杯、紫砂茶宠摆件……还有的匠人正在制作这紫砂作品，满满的匠心匠艺。如果你想淘一件称心如意的紫砂作品，这里是一个不错的选择。这里咖啡店小吃店都蛮多的，环境不错，兜累了随便找一家就可以坐着。很惬意。喜欢DIY的，有兴趣可以自己做一个紫砂作品，零基础的建议做一个品茗杯吧，1小时就可以完成，价格大概120元左右。如果想要挑战一下可以做一把茶壶，不过制作时间是按照小时为单位计算的呢，个人感觉性价比不高，但体检感拉满。具体看预算！哈哈哈这里拍照很出片哦，想要拍照的可以早点去，或者晚点走，等人少一点。更喜欢雨后的古街，多了一份宁静致远的感觉。这里的停车场都是免费的哈！

A day trip to Yixing Pottery Ancestor Sacred Site was a wonderful experience. The karst cave was incredibly relaxing and cool. The bamboo walkway offered panoramic views of the bamboo forest, the boat ride was a favorite with the kids, and there were also pottery workshops. Overall, the trip was packed with activities and I was very satisfied.

The No. 2 Pottery Factory boasts a beautiful environment and fresh air. In particular, the management department continuously introduces new tourism projects, ensuring a fresh experience for visitors. A wide variety of local snacks are available, and the diverse range of ceramic products will leave you wanting more.

I traveled during the National Day holiday. The area is large, but it didn't feel overly crowded. I could walk around at my own pace, and the performances were quite good. The climb wasn't tiring at all; I feel like someone who walks a lot doesn't need a sightseeing bus.

The sightseeing bus tour, stopping at each station, was quite enjoyable. I spent an unforgettable day at Lingshan Sacred Land: the gushing holy water from the Nine Dragons Bathing the Buddha was awe-inspiring; touching the Buddha's feet brought a sense of peace and allowed me to pray for safety; the magnificent Brahma Palace was a harmonious blend of art and faith; and the koi swimming in the pond added a touch of vibrancy. A truly worthwhile trip, highly recommended!
