Secluded Landscape Painting Inn by the Fuchun River - Tonglu Ganfan · Yanlingwu — traveler post in Baoying

Secluded Landscape Painting Inn by the Fuchun River - Tonglu Ganfan · Yanlingwu

Tonglu Ganfan · Yanlingwu No. 1 Yanlingwu, Luci Village, Tonglu I made a special trip just for that beautiful mountain and water scenery. This time I went to Tonglu, a place praised many times by National Geographic. What made me decide to drive there was a quiet lodging hidden by the Fuchun River, opposite Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace—Ganfan · Yanlingwu. Driving along the small road in Luci Village, until the end of the mountain path, the view suddenly opened up, and the mountain and water scenery came rushing in. A few white-walled, black-tiled houses quietly sat in that river bay. The inn is converted from old village houses, and the designer was very thoughtful, preserving the village’s delicate and intimate feel, such as earthen walls, black tiles, and wooden frames. Upon entering, inside the old house’s framework is a comfortable modern living space. Many large glass windows are used, bringing the Fuchun River scenery into the house like a painting. Sunlight shines through the wooden lattice windows, slowly moving across the white walls. Time here seems to flow especially slowly, just like the river water. The inn is not very large, with more than thirty rooms and a variety of room types. The rooms have full-floor heating and central air conditioning, so the damp cold typical of Jiangnan is completely absent here. The mattresses are from King Koil, curtains are electric, and toiletries are from Barmin, allowing you to maintain a refined city lifestyle even while staying in the mountains. The public areas are well designed, including a viewing platform, infinity pool, riverside tea room, book bar, and chess room. Many activities are prepared so you can fully experience the mountains and waters here: such as cycling along the Fuchun River, trying on Hanfu, hiking in the mountains, doing intangible cultural heritage crafts, or gathering around a stove to brew tea. Within a half-hour drive, you can visit the Malin Ancient Trail, known as “Zhejiang’s Most Beautiful Ancient Trail,” or explore the quaint Maoping Village, Shishe Village, and Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace.

Baoying Lake National Wetland Park|A Must-Visit Autumn Check-In Spot in the Stunning Forest Oxygen Bar of Central Jiangsu — traveler post in Baoying

Baoying Lake National Wetland Park|A Must-Visit Autumn Check-In Spot in the Stunning Forest Oxygen Bar of Central Jiangsu

Last weekend, I finally checked in at the much-anticipated Baoying Lake National Wetland Park, and it definitely didn’t disappoint! I couldn’t help but put together a genuine experience guide to share with friends who want to visit~ 📍 Just search “Baoying Lake National Wetland Park” on your navigation app to get there. It’s located in Baoying County, Yangzhou City, and the route is easy to find. The park opens at 8 AM and stops admitting visitors at 5:30 PM. I recommend going early to enjoy it to the fullest. 🎫 Tickets cost around 60 yuan. Bamboo rafting, the little train, and other activities are charged separately, so you can decide which to try after entering. 🌿 Right at the entrance, I was amazed by the vast Metasequoia forest covering thousands of acres—it truly is the “No.1 Forest Oxygen Bar in Central Jiangsu”! The air in the forest is fresh and sweet; every breath feels like a bubble bath for your lungs~ I especially recommend the old railway track in the forest, where sunlight filters through the towering trees, creating stunning light and shadow effects. Every photo looks like a forest-themed movie poster. 🕊️ If you’re a bird lover, this place is paradise. I went to the birdwatching area early in the morning and actually saw flocks of egrets flying, and occasionally elegant red-crowned cranes. Remember to bring a telephoto lens; the morning light is soft and makes your shots look magical. 🎢 Here are my top three recommended activities: 1️⃣ Bamboo Rafting: Drift leisurely for 30 minutes across the lake with crystal-clear water and endless greenery on both sides—super healing. 2️⃣ Jungle Little Train: Ride the clattering little train through the Metasequoia forest, like stepping into a fairy tale in an instant. 3️⃣ Rainbow Slide: 50 meters long! You can’t help but scream when you rush down—it’s incredibly stress-relieving! 📸 The scenery changes completely with the seasons: In autumn (late November), the entire Metasequoia forest turns orange-red, like walking into an oil painting; in summer, the lotus flowers fill the pond, and you can ride a speedboat through the blooms—cool and beautiful. 🦌 I also visited the petting area to feed the spotted deer and little white geese—they’re very friendly, and kids will definitely love it. If you’re lucky, you might spot squirrels nibbling on pine cones by the roadside~ 💡 A few tips: · Wear comfortable shoes, and light-colored clothes look better in photos · The park is quite large, so renting an electric cart (50 yuan/hour) saves a lot of effort · The best time to visit is from April to October; weekends are busier, so if possible, visit on weekdays for a better experience Your phone storage will definitely run out! A nine-grid collage can’t even contain the beauty here~ Take advantage of the perfect autumn colors now and go on an impromptu oxygen-absorbing trip 😊

Back from a tough trip to Yangzhou, really don't recommend coming in October–November — traveler post in Baoying

Back from a tough trip to Yangzhou, really don't recommend coming in October–November

Yangzhou is in central Jiangsu, on the north bank of the Yangtze River and along the Grand Canal. The September heat has eased a bit, but it's still muggy in the afternoon. The recent local highlights are quite practical: in September, there are several rounds of limited-time free admission to state-owned scenic spots. Daming Temple is free on Sept 5/6, the Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum on Sept 19/20, and Wang's Garden on Sept 26/27. The Expo Park and Baoying Lake also have free admission days. Secondary consumption like the Qiling Pagoda is extra. 🏞️ [Must-visit] Slender West Lake (Trip.com material day ticket is about 100 yuan, painted pleasure boat is around 60, electric boat package is around 150). Enter from the South Gate. Stroll slowly through Wuting Bridge, White Pagoda, and Twenty-Four Bridge. Sculling boats are extra, great for stress-free photos. Ge Garden ticket is about 44 yuan, featuring the Four Seasons Rockery + bamboo forest. A human guide is about 100 yuan; if you're too lazy to look at rocks, you'll really be confused. He Garden is about 45 yuan, with covered corridors and the Shuixin Pavilion, which are very photogenic. Night tickets are separate. Daming Temple is 45 yuan; the Jianzhen Memorial Hall + climbing Qiling Pagoda are extra. Dongguan Street, Pishi Street, the China Grand Canal Museum, and the Grand Canal Sanwan are all free. The Grand Canal Museum requires advance booking, and in-museum guides are extra. Yangzhou Baguai Memorial Hall is 12 yuan, and Wang's Garden is 23 yuan—the small garden is quiet and won't tire your legs. How to play for three days: Day 1: Enter Slender West Lake from the South Gate in the morning; the breeze at Changdi Chunliu will wake you up. For lunch, eat braised dried tofu shreds and clear-stewed lion's head outside the scenic area—the soup is so fresh you'll want to lick the bowl. In the evening, Dongguan Street is fully lit with lanterns; buy sesame candy and lotus root starch dumplings while wandering around. Day 2: In the morning, see the Four Seasons Rockery at Ge Garden. For lunch, eat dumpling noodles and potstickers at old shops like Jiangjiaqiao on Dongguan Street—the skin is thin and the juice is hot. In the afternoon, walk the covered corridors at He Garden. In the evening, take a walk by the Ancient Canal; night cruises are optional and not mandatory. Day 3: In the morning, zone out at Pingshan Hall in Daming Temple. For lunch, eat soft-stewed gluten noodles at a nearby Huaiyang restaurant. In the afternoon, visit the Grand Canal Museum or Sanwan. In the evening, return to the hotel and lounge around to recap your social media posts. 🏨 For accommodation, I chose Huazhu · Yangzhou Geyuan Inn, located in Geyuan Huajuli on Yanfu East Road. It's over 100 meters from Ge Garden and 200 meters from Dongguan Street. In the old alleys, you open the door to the hustle and bustle of life. Being woken up by the scent of morning tea is more effective than an alarm clock. If you want to save money, choose Junting Hotel at Slender West Lake; it's close to both Dongguan Street and Slender West Lake. If budget isn't an issue, choose Yangzhou State Guest House or Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort. The State Guest House has a strong garden vibe, and the hot spring resort is great for soaking away fatigue. Booking on Trip.com for real-time prices is the most reliable. 🚌 Transport: Yangzhou has no subway. From Yangzhou East High-speed Railway Station, take Tourist Bus 1/Tourist Bus 2 to the Slender West Lake and Dongguan Street area. From Wuting Bridge Station, take Tourist Bus 1/Tourist Bus 3 or the sightseeing bus to Ge Garden. From Ge Garden Station, take Ancient City Micro-bus 1 or the sightseeing bus to He Garden. For Daming Temple, take tourist lines like Tourist Bus 1/Tourist Bus 2/Tourist Bus 3. For the Grand Canal Museum, check bus 56, etc. Get a ride code on Alipay. Riding a shared electric scooter in the ancient city is more fun; driving in the old alleys will make you doubt your life. Personal feelings: First, the good stuff. There are few people at Slender West Lake after 7 AM. The reflection of Wuting Bridge is truly amazing; I was asked on social media if it was a filter. Dongguan Street has a great vibe at night, and foodies will be happy to the point of bursting. I also have to mention two painful things: it's muggy and sweaty in the afternoon in September; you'll get aesthetic fatigue after seeing three garden rockeries; and if your shoes aren't soft, your feet will cry. On holidays, the crowds at He Garden's covered corridors are packed; you have to wait for an empty spot to take photos, which will make introverts collapse. 💡 Tips: I recommend this for people who love slow living, Huaiyang food, and taking photos of ancient architecture. You can save a lot with the September free admission days. I don't recommend this for people who only want thrilling rides, are afraid of walking, or can't stand sweet green rice balls and queuing for morning tea—you'll easily end up complaining. I must praise the food: bite into a crab roe soup dumpling and suck the soup first—it's so fresh your eyebrows will dance. The braised dried tofu shreds are as thin as thread, wrapped in chicken soup and bean aroma. The lotus root starch dumplings are chewy with a sweet osmanthus flavor; I wanted to pack three more boxes after eating. I spent my money on food for three days like this: Morning tea for two days at places like Quyuan/Yechun cost anywhere from dozens to over a hundred per person; one day at a small shop for dumpling noodles and potstickers was over 20. Lunch for two days of proper Huaiyang meals was 80–120 per person; one day of snacks on Dongguan Street was 50. Evening snacks on Dongguan Street + Ancient Canal plus occasional proper meals cost 60–100 per person. Three days of eating cost about 400 to 600—not luxurious but not stingy. I feel the money was better spent than buying clothes; at least my stomach wasn't wronged. Overall, if you buy all tickets for Slender West Lake + Ge Garden + He Garden + Daming Temple plus boat rides, it's around 1,000 for two people. If you only hit the free streets and museums, you can basically play like a local with zero ticket costs. Some people complain that Yangzhou "only has morning tea for old folks," but I think it's classy for young people to slow down. Others curse the commercialization of Dongguan Street, but aren't the snacks delicious? What do you think? Let's argue in the comments. If you think this guide is useful, give it a like so I can keep writing. Checking tickets and booking hotels on Trip.com is smarter than waiting around on-site.

The thousand-year-old theatrical charm beneath the Huai Opera mask: Jianhu Jiulongkou Huai Opera Town — traveler post in Baoying

The thousand-year-old theatrical charm beneath the Huai Opera mask: Jianhu Jiulongkou Huai Opera Town

Traveled from Huai'an to Yancheng today, passing through Jiulongkou in Jianhu. Jiulongkou consists of two main areas: the wetlands (take a boat to see the "Nine Dragons Playing with the Pearl" scenery) + Huai Opera Town (free to explore and eat). You need a ticket to take a boat in the wetlands. I went to the observation tower in Huai Opera Town (it costs CNY 15 and you can take an elevator 🛗 up) to overlook Longzhu Island and the entire estuary, so I didn't spend money to go to the wetland park. The characteristics of the nine-river system in Jiulongkou: seven in, two out. · 7 incoming rivers (flowing into Longzhu Island): Linshang River, Qiangou River, Anfeng River, Xinshe River, Xi River, Mo River, Jian River ◦ From Baoying: Linshang River, Qiangou River, Anfeng River, Xinshe River ◦ From Huai'an: Xi River, Mo River, Jian River · 2 outgoing rivers (flowing out from Longzhu Island): Xian River, Cheng River, which eventually converge into the Sheyang River and flow toward the Yellow Sea . The nine rivers converge in the center of the lake, with Longzhu Island in the middle, which is the "Nine Dragons Playing with the Pearl" scenery. You need to go to the island and climb the Jiulong Pavilion to get a bird's-eye view to clearly see how the nine river channels radiate outward. Huai Opera Town was renovated and upgraded on the original site of the old Shazhuang ancient village. Shazhuang is the original name, and Huai Opera Town is the new name after its development into a cultural tourism destination. 1. Shazhuang (Shazhuang Ancient Village) An ancient water town village in the Lixiahe region with over 600 years of history. Surrounded by water on three sides, it has been a place where Huai Opera and Jianhu acrobatics have been passed down since ancient times. Originally called Shazhuang Village, it preserves old residences, old granaries, and stone-paved streets and alleys. This is the original name and foundation of this land . 2. Huai Opera Town Since 2020, relying on the original layout of Shazhuang Ancient Village, it has been renovated while maintaining its original style. With the Huai Opera Wenhua Award-winning play "The Town" as its cultural theme, it has been developed into a scenic spot featuring stages, restaurants, homestays, and intangible cultural heritage exhibition halls. It is called Huai Opera Town to the outside world, but locals are still used to calling it "Shazhuang."

eLong Esports Hotel (Yangzhou Baoying Flagship Store) — traveler post in Baoying

eLong Esports Hotel (Yangzhou Baoying Flagship Store)

This time in Baoying, I stayed at two esports hotels in a row, and finally decisively set eLong Esports Hotel (Flagship Store) as my go-to spot! 🎮✨ I’ve had bad experiences before where some places were over-decorated but had poor equipment, but this one is truly reliable. No flashy influencer walls, but the cleanliness and tidiness are top-notch! The bedding is soft, the air conditioning is powerful, and the soundproofing is sufficient. After playing hard, I just crash and sleep, and the rest quality is excellent. 🛌 💻 Setup and Internet Speed The computer isn’t some flashy top-tier model, but the internet speed is super stable. I’ve never lagged during team games, and the keyboard and mouse feel great. For someone like me who just wants to focus on gaming, it’s more than enough. 🧺 A Lazy Person’s Dream What surprised me the most were the laundry room and shower! The washing machine is easy to use, and the water pressure is very steady. For a player like me staying several days, being able to wash clothes and take a good shower is basically a life-saver! 🚿 💁‍♂️ Service Experience The front desk lady is extremely polite, with no annoying sales pitches, and she responds to every request. In this area, this kind of reliable experience and cost performance is truly unbeatable. Next time I come to Baoying, this place is locked in! 🚀👍

Golden Lake Water Forest Scenic Area

Here, there is no urban hustle and bustle, only swaying fir trees and shimmering water. This is not only a stunning tourist destination, but also a way of life that allows one to return to nature and embrace simplicity.

心泊于江心泊于江

Huaian Fu Shu

One of only two remaining government offices, and the site of the tragic death of Dou E, it features an exhibition of ancient torture instruments, mostly displayed using digital technology, wax figures, physical objects, and illustrations. It's a must-see for tourists in Huai'an.

Hexia Ancient Town

You can spend two days visiting Zhou Enlai's former residence in Huai'an. There's also a nice traditional shop in Hexia Ancient Town. The overall commercial atmosphere isn't too strong, so it's worth a visit.

Huai'an Chuyun Cultural Tourism Resort

Huai'an city is relatively small; two days is enough to explore it. If you like night views, head to the riverbank for a boat ride. The Huai'an Museum, the Canal Transport Museum, and the Huai'an Prefectural Museum are also quite good.

The courtyard was quite unique, with some small scenic spots perfect for taking photos. We were really lucky; the weather was a beautiful, clear blue. We also learned about Wu Cheng'en's family history and life story, feeling a bit a little bit of his divine aura.

TASTE OF CHINA Immersive Chinese Restaurant

This was a lovely way to start our trip in China. Our first city to visit was Shanghai, and we knew we would be tired from our evening arrival. We decided to opt for the Taste of China lunch. We knew this would help us to get moving the next day, enjoy excellent food, and provide us with additional details regarding the food experience in China’s various regions. My husband and I were seated next to two ladies traveling from Korea, and we had the opportunity to get to know them as well, and are now in contact bby social media (and added benefit we hadn’t expected). We enjoyed the food, the show, and the pacing. This is a wonderful place for kids and families, and something that can be enjoyed without tons of walking on the day of arrival or next morning.

China Water Transport Museum

As the only canal transport museum in China, it's generally quite good. However, the 60 yuan guided tour is a bit too general and could be more detailed. The additional 5 yuan per person for headsets is also unreasonable.

Xiyou World of Adventure

Beautiful China 🇨🇳 Huai'an Journey to the West Amusement Park: A place that evokes the Journey to the West nostalgia of those born in the 80s. A Chinese-made amusement park, highly recommended for elementary school students, especially boys. The ticket price is especially worthwhile and the fun is immense 🥳. Even on a rainy day, we had a blast. The staff were very enthusiastic ❤️‍🔥 and diligently checked the equipment repeatedly. A very cost-effective amusement park 🎠.
