Beautiful and reminiscient of the Summer Palace in Beijing. Like most scenic areas in China it was enormous and too big to see the whole. Very pleasant in the late afternoon in summer

Like a Chinese Venice, this beautiful town enables one to slow down and enjoy a pace of life vastly different to the urban cities around. Cars are not allowed in the town, and note that the town tocket is a once off entry so unless you arrange with accomodation to have multiple entries don&rsquo;t leave if you hope to return! Recommend wearing good walking shoes as the cobblestones are uneven and a day walking around is tiring. That said, it&rsquo;s highly worth the walk. Children under 1.4m free. Our favourite site within the town was the Tuisi Garden, but all the little shops of knick knacks were fun to browse - albeit some full of kitsch plastic toys that distract the kids. The boat ride was fun and our boat driver sang us some songs for a small fee. The three bridges that couples in times past cross when they marry was wistful, and the museum of wedding artefacts a fascinating window into earlier times. Overall could have spent quite a few days more here resting and lingering.

Beautiful garden! This was our favourite site in the Tongli water village. The garden is small but it felt very spacious because of the creative design. lots of tourists during the day but our accomodation hosts suggested going first thing or late in the day - watch for mosquitos! If you took a milk tea or cool beverage in you could sit in the gazebo area - climb up the rock path - and overlook the garden. Lovely place for contemplation and fun for kids with all the nooks and crannies.

The Baotu spring was like a lovely Chinese garden with the added feature of a spring. Daming Lake was less crowded and larger, but the spring was still a lovely place to visit. The kids enjoyed the animation of the emporer visiting the spring. After the park across the road had some lovely scenery (note the photo with boat) and a great range of sculptures that were fun for the kids.
