Shazhou Youhuang Cultural Park is really a treasure. Every time I come here it gives me a surprise and a different experience. This time, Shazhou Youhuang actually moved the entire zoo into the Cultural Park, which is really cool. It's a huge doll. When you stand in it, you feel like you've entered Lilliput, hahaha. The Qianquan Well at the gate is super spectacular and is suitable for taking photos and checking in. The key is, it’s free🆓. Parking 🅿️ is also free. There is also a newly built Xiaomei Amusement Park in the cultural park. It is really friendly to families with children. Children can play there for the whole day. 🛒There are also many market stalls and local delicacies in the park. 🛍️There are also a lot of rice wine peripherals in the shopping mall, including rice wine yogurt, rice wine popsicles🍦, hot milk baby... I like it so much. The entire park is divided into four venues. If possible, you must take your children to visit. Museum - handcrafted brewing - aging wine warehouse - underground wine cellar. If you follow this order, you can really learn a lot.

💁🏻‍♀️ Over the weekend, I spent half a day in the osmanthus-scented Tianzhuang Old Street in Zhangjiagang. I have to say, visiting here in early November, was just perfect and exactly to my liking. The breeze was gentle, the autumn air was crisp, and it was a truly comfortable and pleasant season for outings in the south of the Yangtze River. 🌿 The Tianzhuang Old Street, soaked in the fragrance of osmanthus, was long and quiet, the slightly pinkish stone alleys, mostly Ming and Qing ancient buildings, walking around, the southern Yangtze River charm of the old street, with that touch of literary breath, entered my heart. ✍️ The former glory of Tianzhuang Ancient Town is now unreachable, now only a 250-meter long, 2-meter wide North Street remains, it is a part of the life of the people of Tianzhuang. The old street is small, walking on the greenish, shiny stone road, you can still feel the once bustling and lively atmosphere. The ancient street was built along the river, there are teahouses, blacksmith shops, snack bars, stove cakes, handicraft shops, the commercial atmosphere is not strong, and there are not many tourists. 🍃 Walking around, inside every wooden door on the old street, there is the breath of life, in the winding and deep ancient alleys, old people sit at the entrance of the alley unfolding the chessboard, playing chess leisurely, the warm sun in the autumn afternoon, scattered a ground of fine and warm sunlight in the alley, peaceful and quiet. 👀 Coming to Tianzhuang Ancient Town, those who like history and culture, can enter the Number One Scholar's Mansion and Yang's Filial Piety Archway, etc., to search for the famous figures and events in the history of the old street, and have a deeper understanding of the humanities of Tianzhuang Ancient Town. 🧚‍♀️ Walking along, the fragrance of osmanthus on the old street, was covered by the aroma of just out of the oven stove cakes. I bought a scallion flavored stove cake and ate it on the street, it was very fragrant and delicious, this is a delicacy that has been passed down for many years in Tianzhuang Old Street, you must try it when you come. 🙎🏻‍♀️ Tianzhuang Old Street, should be the only old street in Suzhou area, that I never get tired of visiting, all year round, I will visit multiple times, because the old street has what I like, that kind of original southern Yangtze River life flavor. 🍱 Must-try food on the old street: Tofu pudding, stove cake (must eat while it's hot) 📮Address: Tianzhuang Village, Gangkou Street, Fenghuang Town, Zhangjiagang City

Address－No. 323 Chang'an South Road, Zhangjiagang City Environment/Facilities - Private rooms on two floors Specialties - Jiangsu cuisine Price per person - RMB 200 Rating – 8/10 There is a food street downstairs from my friend's house. They are all ordinary family dishes. The three of us, grown men, ordered white eel slices, yellow eel, snails, fried corn and shrimp, etc. We drank white wine while enjoying the food. The steamed white eel tasted the best 👍👍👍 and the price was reasonable☺️☺️

Address－No. 115, Shazhou West Road, Zhangjiagang City, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China Postal Code: 215638 Environment/Facilities – Hand-Poured Coffee Features – Coffee with a human touch Price per person: RMB 30 Rating – 8/10 I haven't been back to the mainland for more than three years. This time I came to Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu. Because I had to wait for a long time to apply for a bank card at the bank, fortunately there is this Starbucks next to me. I can sit and enjoy this cup of hand-brewed coffee while slowly waiting for the bank to process my bank card. In terms of taste, I think this store does a great job 😋😋 #Starbucks #Mainland Customs Clearance

Address－Zhangjiagang Shopping Park, Zhangjiagang, China CN Jiangsu Province Suzhou City Postal Code: 215638 Environment/Facilities-There is a shopping park behind Features - Small hotel with large rooms Price per person: RMB 400 Rating – 7/10 Meilun has been open for almost 10 years, and it still retains a simple style. There are no luxurious facilities, just simple. The room is clean. Every day after breakfast, I go back to the room and the waiter asks me what time I go out and then helps me clean the room. The sheets are changed every day, but the towels in the toilet are a bit old. However, I always bring my own towels when I stay in a hotel, so this price is reasonable🤭🤭 #Mainland Customs Clearance #Jiangsu Province

#lstaying at hotel is the best way to enjoy relaxing time. Speically after the Spring festival, getting bored with the hustle ad bustle in city, and wanting to experience a different life, so I booked Youzhou Yiyang Hotspring resort--a hotel in countryside. There is a huge park adjacent to Yiyang hot spring hotel, and the park includes a little zoo, and a lot of entertainment facilities. You can choose to take a walk or rent a bicycle to go sightseeing. However, the transportation is not so satisfying-it was hard to hail a taxi, while taking bus to get to downtown needs almost 40 minutes. #staycation

Stopped by this gem just joy riding in the Zhangjiagang. It was such a beautiful day and kids were in the water on these big floats, boat paddles were going, and people were enjoying themselves.

Amazing night at Zhangjiagang! Old part of the town is amazing! My first stop during summer holiday! I had unfortunately only one day to see the city, but i was amazed by beautiful of the town and how polite people are! #summervacation#urbanexplorer

In Zhangjiagang, I accidentally met a small pink, pink grass that I had been thinking for so long. Finally, I found that the children in Zhangjiagang had not calmed down. Hahaha Coordinate: Zhangjiagang Xiaojia The lane features rural villages, in addition to white yarrow, as well as lavender and many other flower fields, all year round can be beautiful, and not far from here is the Phoenix Lake Ecological Park, a boat rafting lake, flower viewing + boating The combination of a static movement is also quite good.

1. Core Autumn Viewing Spots: Unlock the Seasonal Limited Chinese Aesthetic (1) The Magnificent Autumn of the North Gubei Water Town in Beijing is an excellent example of Chinese autumn scenery. The ruins of Simatai Great Wall blend with the red leaves covering the mountains, and the gray tiles of mountain courtyards appear faintly among the colorful forests. When climbing the Great Wall, the blue bricks underfoot intertwine with the "red sea" ahead. Lanterns light up at dusk, and the shadows of red leaves fall softly on the bluestone slabs, fully displaying the ancient charm of the "Red Leaf Town at the Foot of the Great Wall." To avoid crowds, take a morning stroll by Worry-free Lake, watch the autumn water reflect the red and yellow intertwined tree crowns, listen to the wind blowing through leaves and flowing water in harmony, and immerse yourself in the "painting-like autumn." Tianjin Huangyaguan Great Wall highlights autumn with its steepness. Along the 42-kilometer wall, maple and persimmon trees splash golden red colors, and the blue bricks and black tiles of Bagua City surrounded by colorful forests resemble an ancient painting. Taking the cable car for an aerial view, the green of coniferous forests and the red and yellow of broadleaf forests form layers. From the mountain top, you can see the shimmering Cuiping Lake and the autumn scenery of the Yanshan Mountains, fully displaying the grandeur of "one man guarding the pass" and the brilliance of autumn. (2) The Graceful Autumn of Jiangnan Tianping Mountain in Suzhou holds the poetic charm of Jiangnan autumn. Over 300 ancient maples, weathered for more than 400 years, turn vividly red in late autumn, forming an ink painting scene with ancient temples, clear springs, and golden ginkgo trees. Wangfeng Terrace is the best viewing spot, where red maples, green bamboo, and blue-tiled flying eaves frame the scene, making every snapshot a "Jiangnan autumn exclusive." Enter the park before 6:30 a.m., and sunlight filters through the branches casting mottled shadows on the bluestone slabs. Wearing a moon-white Hanfu and leaning on the railing, you fully embody the beauty of Chinese-style blank space. The autumn drying scenes in Huizhou villages are known as a "moving palette." After the autumn equinox, chili peppers and persimmons spread red and yellow blocks on drying racks, contrasting with horse-head walls and black tile eaves. When the morning mist lingers, smoke rises gently, and the colors on the racks appear more vivid in the haze. Paired with the gradually reddening Chinese tallow trees by the village, it fully displays the beauty of agricultural civilization and nature. (3) The Secret Plateau Autumn The autumn of Daocheng Yading is like a richly colored oil painting. The meadows of Luorong Pasture turn golden, poplar groves and fiery red shrubs surround the blue Milk Lake, and the snowy peaks of Xianuoduoji Mountain are dotted with white. Hiking from Chonggu Temple to Pearl Lake, the fallen leaves rustle underfoot, and the lake reflects the red leaves and snow-capped mountains, each step a stunning "heaven for the eyes." Staying in Yading Village, you can witness the golden sunlight on the mountains, with morning light casting warmth on the colorful forests, snow mountains, and red leaves. 2. Immersive Experience: Chinese-style Activities and Photography Tips (1) Themed Activities - Ancient Architecture Autumn Hunt: The ginkgo avenue in Beijing’s Old Summer Palace is covered with fallen leaves that rustle underfoot, recreating the "autumn of the ancient capital" described by Yu Dafu; the millennium-old ginkgo trees at Xi’an Ancient Guanyin Zen Temple begin to turn golden, with fallen leaves forming a golden carpet, creating a Zen painting with the temple’s red walls. - Landscape Autumn Appreciation: Kanas’ Fairy Bay is shrouded in morning mist, where the golden birch trees blend with the emerald lake, and smoke curls from the Tuvan wooden houses, like a fairy tale; at Yanqi Lake, take a boat around the island, watch cormorants skim the water, ginkgo forests spread along the shore, distant mountains like ink, and autumn waters misty. - Folk Autumn Knowledge: The autumn in Taierzhuang Ancient City hides the bustling city life. Take a rowboat on the Ai River, see red lanterns reflected in the water on both banks, stand at the bow in Hanfu, with flowing sleeves rippling with the waves, just like the poetic scene of "a river of fishing lights and ten miles of singing." (2) Photography and Outfit Guide Outfits mainly feature the new Chinese style: brown cotton-linen cardigans paired with khaki slip dresses, accessorized with vintage tassel bags and peace buckle necklaces, exuding a cool vibe; or choose moon-white or cyan Hanfu, holding a round fan in front of red walls and ancient maples, with light and shadow filtering through branches onto the sleeves, full of Zen spirit. Photography spots are cleverly chosen: at Gubei Water Town, select the distant view of Simatai Great Wall, letting the red leaves become the Great Wall’s "natural backdrop"; at Tianping Mountain’s Wangfeng Terrace, shoot from a low angle with blue tiles and flying eaves framing the red leaves; at Kanas’ Fish Viewing Platform at sunset, let the sunset gild the lake and colorful forests. 3. Practical Guide: Avoiding Pitfalls and Trip Planning (1) Best Time and Transportation - Northern Region: Mid-October to early November is best. In Beijing, take Metro Line 10 and transfer to the Western Suburb Line to Xiangshan; in Tianjin, Panshan is best reached by car, with colorful forests along the mountain roads. - Jiangnan Region: Late October to mid-November. In Suzhou, take Metro Line 1 and transfer to Bus 662 to Tianping Mountain; in Huizhou villages, renting a car is recommended for convenient stops and sightseeing. - Plateau Region: Late September to early October. For Daocheng Yading, fly to Daocheng Airport then transfer to the scenic area shuttle bus; for Kanas, self-driving or joining a pure-play tour is recommended to explore less-visited spots. (2) Pitfalls and Tips Popular red leaf spots require advance reservations; Xiangshan and Tianping Mountain are best visited on weekdays; the plateau has large temperature differences (0-15°C), so bring down jackets and oxygen tanks, and avoid strenuous exercise; Jiangnan is rainy, so carry umbrellas and non-slip shoes. For accommodation, book 1-2 months in advance in Kanas Tuvan Village and Daocheng Yading Village; in Gubei Water Town, choose waterside homestays to enjoy lantern-lit red leaves at night. Autumn is brief and poetic. Whether it’s the grandeur of Great Wall red leaves, the grace of Jiangnan ancient maples, or the brilliance of plateau colorful forests, all vividly interpret Chinese aesthetics. Pack your bags, set off with longing for autumn, and let every fallen leaf and ray of autumn light become a romantic Chinese-style footnote on your journey.

1. Northern Danxia: The Imperial Poetry of Red Walls and Leaves (1) Beijing · Xiangshan Park As the "red maple card" of the imperial capital in autumn, Xiangshan from mid-October to early November is the peak of northern red leaves. Nearly ten thousand yellow hornbeams and maples blaze like a sea of fire; when the wind blows, red leaves flutter down like a natural Chinese ink painting in motion. It is recommended to enter from the East Gate, follow the exclusive Red Leaf Festival trail through the Qinzhen Hall to Shuangqing Villa, and climb to the top of Xianglu Peak to overlook the vast red waves and the Beijing cityscape in one frame—an excellent spot to capture the artistic conception of "layers of forest dyed." The secret to avoiding weekend crowds is to visit early on weekdays. Enjoy a cup of hot coffee in the courtyard of Xiangshan Hotel, watching sunlight filter through red leaves casting mottled shadows on the blue bricks, fully displaying the Chinese aesthetic of leaving blank space. Transportation is available via Metro Line 10 transferring to the Western Suburb Line directly; tickets must be booked in advance via the official WeChat account. Wearing comfortable sports shoes is better for hiking and sightseeing. (2) Xi’an · Tang Paradise Autumn in Tang Paradise hides the richest Tang Dynasty autumn charm, with ginkgo trees turning gold and maples burning red. The lotus lake’s shimmering waves reflect the flying eaves and dougong brackets, like a painting straight out of "The Longest Day in Chang’an." The side light at 4 p.m. on the opposite shore of Ziyun Tower is especially precious. Shooting with a wide-angle low perspective can capture ginkgo, flying eaves, and lake water in one frame, instantly turning it into an illustration scene from "Chang’an Thirty Thousand Miles." Rent a 10-yuan oil-paper umbrella in the second-floor corridor of the Ladies’ Pavilion, lean against the vermilion pillars for candid shots, and apply the "Moonlight" filter in Xingtu app to maximize the ancient atmosphere. After 7:30 p.m., the lantern street of the Royal Banquet Palace lights up; using a large aperture to blur the light spots can create a hazy beauty of lanterns reflecting on faces. It is recommended to enter after 4 p.m. on weekdays to avoid crowds and enjoy both the daytime autumn scenery and the "Tang Dynasty Dream Chase" water curtain light show. Don’t miss the Tang market mirror cakes outside the west gate and Zhang’s Roujiamo on Ziwu Road for authentic autumn street food. 2. Jiangnan Ink Wash: The Graceful Mood Hidden in Pavilions and Terraces (1) Suzhou · Tianping Mountain As one of the "Four Great Maple Viewing Spots in China," Tianping Mountain’s autumn embodies the unique gentle elegance of Jiangnan. Over 300 century-old maples gradually turn red by late October, forming a natural ink wash painting with ancient temples, clear springs, and ginkgo trees. Wangfeng Terrace is the core viewing spot where red maples, green bamboo, and ginkgo intertwine. Fallen leaves scatter on the bluestone path; sitting here with a cup of hot tea, one understands the poetic meaning of "Stopping the carriage to love the maple forest at dusk." A hidden tip is to enter before 6:30 a.m. to avoid the entrance fee and capture the stunning light filtering through red leaves. At this time, portrait photography requires almost no obstacle avoidance. During the early November Red Maple Festival, intangible cultural heritage performances and ancient-style markets add elegance. Transportation is available via Metro Line 1 transferring to Bus 662 directly. Remember to bring an umbrella for Jiangnan’s autumn rain. (2) Suzhou · Humble Administrator’s Garden The poetry of autumn in the Humble Administrator’s Garden lies in the interplay of light and shadow. The maple leaves in front of "With Whom to Sit in the Pavilion" and the ginkgo beside the "Thirty-six Mandarin Duck Hall" framed by white walls and black tiles create a picturesque scene. Early morning is the best time to visit when tourists are few, and sunlight filters through branches casting interlaced light and shadow patterns on carved window lattices, making one feel as if traveling through a thousand years. For autumn garden attire, simple and elegant colors are best. Moon white and light gray tones gently contrast with red maples and ginkgo. After touring, visit a nearby teahouse to listen to Pingtan storytelling; the soft Wu dialect paired with the sweet scent of osmanthus sugar porridge captures the delicate flavor of Jiangnan autumn. Note that mosquitoes are abundant in the garden; bring insect repellent and wear comfortable cloth shoes for a leisurely autumn stroll. 3. Western Oil Painting: The Magnificent Spirit of Mountains and Rivers Woven with Colors (1) Xinjiang · Kanas From late September to early October, Kanas is a masterpiece of nature’s oil painting. The birch forest turns golden, Kanas Lake shifts from green to emerald, and the smoke from Tuva wooden houses curls up, composing a panoramic "autumn fairy tale." The morning mist at Fairy Bay is most dreamy, with red leaves and birch trees reflected in the misty lake like a fairyland; at dusk, climb the Fish Viewing Platform to watch the sunset dye the lake golden, breathtakingly magnificent. It is recommended to stay in Hemu Village, accompany villagers to fetch water by the river early in the morning, watch red leaves fall on wooden rooftops, and experience the tranquility of being isolated from the world. If time permits, hike the "Hemu-Kanas" route, where golden birch and fiery shrubs line the way, and every shot is wallpaper-worthy. Travel advice: self-driving or joining a pure-play tour; prepare thick down jackets for temperatures between -5 to 10°C. Book accommodations 1-2 months in advance. (2) Sichuan · Daocheng Yading Autumn in Daocheng Yading is a secret treasure of the western Sichuan plateau, with golden poplar forests, fiery shrubs, blue lakes, and snowy mountains reflecting each other, each step a "heavenly feast for the eyes." The classic hiking route starts from Chonggu Temple, crosses golden meadows, approaches the Xianuoduoji Snow Mountain closely, and finally reaches Pearl Lake—where the water reflects red leaves and snowy peaks, an ultimate interpretation of Chinese landscape painting. The morning in Yading Village is unmissable, with sunlight casting golden mountains over red leaf forests and ever-changing light and shadow; at night, sitting in the guesthouse courtyard, you can see the romantic scene of stars and red leaves in one frame. Be mindful of altitude sickness; prepare oxygen tanks in advance. With temperatures between 0-15°C, down jackets and scarves are essential. 4. Autumn Pursuit Tips: Advanced Guide to Chinese Aesthetics (1) Dressing Aesthetics Ancient-style clothing fits best: for the flourishing Tang style, choose a chest-high ruqun to appear taller, or a horse-face skirt for a dignified posture; for a neutral style, wear a round-collar robe to show a spirited look. For daily wear, the Melrose color palette is recommended—brown with light coffee, wine red with dark gray—naturally blending with autumn scenery. Accessories should be simple; pearl hairpins, oil-paper umbrellas, and wooden hair sticks can add highlights without overpowering. (2) Photography Tips When framing architecture with autumn scenery, use a low angle to avoid crowds, letting flying eaves, red walls, and red leaves form layers; for portraits, use side light to outline contours, backlight for silhouettes to enhance mood, and Xingtu filters like "Moonlight" and "Ancient Capital" to strengthen the ancient style atmosphere. Early morning and dusk light are the softest, the golden hours for capturing autumn details. (3) Time Planning Northern red leaves peak from mid-October to early November; Jiangnan autumn scenery lasts until late November; western Kanas and Daocheng autumn scenes concentrate from late September to mid-October. It is recommended to travel on weekdays off-peak to avoid crowds and enjoy a purer autumn viewing experience. Autumn is brief and poetic. From northern red walls to Jiangnan pavilions, from western mountains and rivers to ancient city fireworks, each place hides the code of Chinese aesthetics. Pack your bags and take this guide to the mountains and seas, letting the autumn breeze unlock the most enchanting autumn scenes for you.

Beijing’s Best-Kept Secret for Maple Viewing! Say No to Crowded Xiangshan! Free 40-Minute Hike to the Summit! Stop squeezing into Xiangshan! Every late October, savvy locals head to Fangshan — the “wild maple viewing trail” hidden in Shuiyu Folk Village is the ultimate autumn gem! It’s free, just a 1.5-hour drive, and only a 40-minute hike to the top. Every photo you take looks like a masterpiece ready to blow up your social feed. Hesitate and you’ll have to wait until next year! Here’s the key info for the lazy ones: free! Few people! 40 minutes to the summit! But don’t think it’s all easy with no surprises — this trail is full of unexpected delights! Navigate to “Shuiyu Folk Village,” then follow signs to “Maple Leaf Bridge.” When you see the bridge, turn right onto a narrow path — pay attention here! The path is very narrow, so find a spot to let others pass. At every fork, turn right. Trust me, just follow this and you won’t get lost! Don’t panic when you pass an abandoned scenic area — you’re not off track. Keep going for another kilometer and you’ll see the trail entrance. That feeling of “light at the end of the tunnel” will instantly boost your excitement! At first, the trail might feel a bit discouraging — the abandoned area’s facilities are old, some wooden boards are loose, so step carefully. Hold hands tightly with elderly and kids. But after just 10 minutes uphill, the scenery changes dramatically! The mountainside is covered in red leaves like a spilled palette, stretching from the base to the summit. Sunlight filters through the branches, casting golden-red shadows on the trail. Looking back, the whole mountain is a riot of colors. When the wind blows, red leaves flutter down like a famous autumn scene from the drama “Goblin.” You won’t stop taking photos, and every shot is social media-ready without any editing! The view from the top is even more amazing! No obstructions, under blue skies and white clouds, the red forest spreads out like waves, with distant villages dotting the landscape like a painting. If you bring your pet, let it run through the leaves — every candid shot is heartwarming. If you’re with your partner, take a backlit hand-holding photo at the summit — the atmosphere will be perfect, and your social media likes will skyrocket! A friendly reminder: don’t come on rainy days! The mountain path gets slippery and there’s a risk of landslides. Travel light — the slope isn’t long but a bit steep, so heavy backpacks will tire you out. Most importantly, this is an undeveloped scenic area with no staff, so safety must come first!

✅Mingxiang Lake lies quietly within the Xiangshan Cherry Blossom Garden. The lake water remains clear and turquoise all year round, as bright and clean as a mirror. The lake surface is wide and offers excellent visibility, making it a perfect spot for photography within the Xiangshan Scenic Area. 💫The name "Mingxiang" is inspired by the poetic phrase, "Bright wind and beautiful sun, fragrant orchids with dewdrops, butterflies fluttering." ✨Here, the seasons change with distinct scenery—spring is full of blooming flowers, summer is lush with greenery, and autumn paints the forests in vibrant colors, all unfolding in turn. On one side of the lake shore hangs a curtain-like waterfall, with water gently cascading down, adding a touch of liveliness and charm to the tranquil lake.

✅Jiyuan Daoist Temple is located on Tenzhuang Ancient Street in Zhangjiagang, Suzhou. It was originally built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, funded and established by local villagers who donated land and money. ✨In the 32nd year of Qianlong's reign, filial son Yang Dai financed repairs and established a charity school within the temple to promote education and culture. As one of the eleven temples in the history of Tenzhuang Ancient Town, Jiyuan Daoist Temple has experienced many vicissitudes and cycles of prosperity and decline. It is not only an important cultural relic but also holds profound influence among the local people. 💫In October 2014, the government allocated funds to restore this cultural heritage site to preserve historical memory and pass it on to future generations.

I always stayed at familiar hotels, but I was curious about other hotels, so I decided to try this one. Its location, right at the intersection of Chang'an Road, which leads to the city center, and Zhangyang Road, which leads out of town, makes it convenient for transportation no matter where you go. The rooms are a bit small, but they've been remodeled nicely, so while they may not be as nice as newly built hotels, they're still impressive. The largest room, which comes with a mahjong table, isn't that expensive, so it's easy to choose. There's a cluster of restaurants and a convenience store nearby, adding to the convenience.

Suzhou Jiangnan Agricultural Culture Park, located at the intersection of Miaofeng Road and Yonggang Avenue in Zhangjiagang, is a large outdoor farming-themed park that combines the natural charm of rural landscapes with the unique features of Jiangnan's water towns. Early autumn is the perfect time to visit. The fields in the park turn golden, and the gentle breeze adds to the serene atmosphere. Every step reveals the simple and rustic beauty of Jiangnan's countryside, making it an ideal destination for families and friends. The park covers a vast area. Start by visiting the exhibition hall to learn about the history of Jiangnan's agricultural culture. You'll see many traditional farming tools and snapshots of rural life from the past, gaining insight into local traditions. Then, head outdoors to the fields where you can participate in interactive activities like rice planting, pigeon releasing, chicken raising, and rabbit catching—perfect for family bonding. Seasonal harvests are also available, with autumn featuring corn and pumpkin fields that make for stunning photo opportunities!

This beautiful and serene place is somewhere I could visit again and again. I went on my own in summer and climbed the never ending stairs to the top; I took my family in autumn and saw the colour contrast of the various trees; we brought family in the winter and felt the vastness of a place full of fresh air and tranquility; we visited again in spring and smelt the wonderful fruity aromas and saw the vibrant blooming of the many flowers. I will visit again to take in the views and clear fresh air of the forest. I love this place, whether going for a mindless stroll or entertaining children, Xiangshan has it all.#fragranthill #xiangshan #xiangshang #zhangjiagang #xiangshan
