2025 Jiangyin Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)
Jiangyin (江阴), meaning “River Shade,” is a riverside, port, and garden city. It got its name from its location on the “yin,” or “shady,” side of the Yangtze River. Yin means north of a hill and south of a body of water. In particular, it's a way of referring to the southern bank of the Yangtze. Jiangyin culture is considered part of Wuyue culture. Notable attractions here include Swan Beak Park, Huangshanhu (黄山湖) Park, Huaxi (华西) Village, the Former Residence of Xu Xiake (徐霞客), Yushan (敔山) Bay, and Changjing (长泾) Old Town. All of these places are visited by endless streams of tourists from China and abroad.

All Trip Moments about Jiangyin
Go to Jiangsu and watch a sunset over the Yangtze River!
This area is collectively known as 💥Jiangyin Bund
🚗 We navigate to the ground parking lot of the Shipyard Park
From west to east, they are:
➡️ E'bi Park, Shipyard Park, Leisure Park (Leisure Park has a night market in the evening and some children's play facilities)
➡️ Then comes Yuanwang No. 2. There are two time slots each day for boarding and visiting the ship, but you need to make a reservation in advance
➡️ Next is the Jiangyin Yangtze River Protection Exhibition Hall
The exhibition hall has a two-story observation deck where you can overlook Yuanwang No. 2
➡️ Walk further to Jiucai Port Park, where there is a tidal flat (pile of rocks). Although it's not allowed to go down and take photos here, there are too many people, so the loudspeaker keeps reminding you to pay attention to safety, and the security guards are patrolling to bring back those who go too far down.

A piece of Europe in China
I have been to this beautiful place twice. once during the day and once at night time. They truly take good care of their horses, the place is very clean and at night time they usually have live entertainment. If you’re looking for a little piece of Europe in China, this is certainly the place to come. The best time to go is in the afternoon going into the evening and during autumn time when the weather is moderate.

Cruising in Wuxi
I visited Wuxi Ancient Street for my birthday, and it was epic. I had dinner at Casa Zoe then took a walk along the street.
You can take a boat ride along the river or browse what the various vendors have to offer. I got a cartoon photo of myself. There were also a lot of restaurants and shops. You can relax and grab something to eat at popular places like Commune or Starbucks.

It is not
It is not Venice, not Europe! It is the Haishu Pegasus Water City in Xinqiao Town, Jiangyin City, the top 100 counties in the country. That's right, it's the scenic spot created by the Haishu House, which is "two times a year"
.
11 small holiday Jiangyin weather is fine, the flow of tourists is quite a lot, the key areas of the scenic spot can achieve the effect of people's congregation, but in a relatively comfortable state. If you come here to take a photo, you dont need tickets, and you wont even charge for parking. Additional fees apply for carriage rides and equestrian experiences.
Shuicheng also has art galleries, shopping centers, outlets and cinemas, with multiple choices for the whole family. There will be a musical fountain in the evening, it is recommended to play for a day, and there are many restaurants in the scenic area.

Jiangyin X
Jiangyin Xingguoyuan, which originally had no parks, was built to protect the towering ancient towers in the park. The ancient tower is the Xingguo Tower. It was built in the Taiping Xingguo Period of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than a thousand years. The real antiquities are striking the shape of the top of the ancient pagoda. It is said that the artillery fire has caused it to become the present, just like a Pen tip. There are many antique buildings and stone bridges in the
Xingguo Garden, such as Xiaohong Bridge, Zhangzhou Bridge, Shanzheng Bridge, etc. These stone bridges exist in the history of Jiangyin, but they have disappeared now.
In the park, it is like coming to a quaint Jiangnan garden, pavilions, rockery and lush green vegetation, making people forget to return~

Jiangyin Mare Island Hotel: A Luxurious Blend of Modern and Traditional
🌃 Recently, I stayed at Jiangyin Mare Island Hotel, a luxury hotel opened in 2018. Its unique architectural style that combines modern and traditional elements, along with the stunning water city night view outside the window, left a deep impression on me. 💖
🏨 The hotel is ranked No. 1 on Ctrip's "Jiangyin Luxury Hotels List," and its excellence is undeniable. The modern architecture infused with classic traditions and European-style elegance makes you feel like you're in a dreamy palace. 🏰

🏊 The hotel's facilities and services are also outstanding. The crystal-clear free swimming pool let me swim to my heart's content, while the upscale Chinese restaurant served a variety of delicious dishes that satisfied my palate. The dedicated underground parking lot provided convenient parking, eliminating any worries. 🍽️
🌉 The hotel's location is also excellent, situated in the Feima Water City commercial area. It's just a 6-minute walk to the music fountain, a 20-minute walk to Feima Sports Park, and a 6-minute drive to Xinqiao Bus Station, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. 🗺️

Jiangyin is the place where you can find food all around the world, even if it is a small city of 1.5 million people. But Xi Cheng Hui restaurant next to the Jiangyin Sporting Center surprised me. (Look at the photos). 📸
The restaurant offers a taste of ancient China with its delicious dishes and an ambiance perfect for leisurely tea sessions, inviting visitors to indulge in the exceptional food and tea culture of Jiangyin. It serves as an excellent introduction to the culinary wonders of the region.
My Recommendation:🌟
1. Cold Salmon and tuna.🍲
2. Crispy bao buns 🍜
3. Delicious eggplants🥖
4. Shrimp/park sweet balls🍤
The restaurant is decorated beautifully with a traditional Chinese vibe. The light and colors are bouncing perfectly.☀️

The healing coffee shop hidden in the old neighborhood likes the relaxation
This coffee shop is really a bit difficult to find, hidden in the corner of the old neighborhood. The parking space at the door is tight. It is recommended to navigate directly to the nearby indoor parking lot
——
I like the facade of this small shop, the healing atmosphere
——
Ordered a signature pistachio latte, the layered appearance is quite beautiful, the first bite was hit by the rich nutty aroma 🌰, smooth taste, but for me the sweetness is slightly higher, sweet lovers should like
——
The door passed by a raccoon cat 🐈 is particularly cute, the boss is very loving 💗 took the ham sausage to feed the cat, the cat completely "laid" refused to leave, I do not know if the boss finally took in this stray cat

Suyun Smart Hotel (Jiangyin Fortune International Branch)
#Jiangyin
Checked in, a pet-friendly hotel:
This is my first time booking on trip. I am usually a loyal user of Lavande Hotel/Shangri-La.
This hotel has sufficient water pressure.
The most important thing is the quality of the water, which is very good...
Basically, you can wash very clean without shower gel!
The laundry room is also great, with laundry detergent and a dryer...

Mantingfang Countryside Garden - A green world
Mantingfang Country Garden is full of greenery, with pink peach blossoms and green willows, and the rhythm of nature is played here. The early morning sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting mottled shadows. The breeze blew, and the dewdrops on the grass sparkled in the light, as if little stars were gently telling the dream of spring.
The flowers look as soft and beautiful as colorful clouds against the backdrop of green leaves. On both sides of the path, you can often see busy bees and butterflies flying among the flowers, as if showing us the secrets of spring.
On the tree-lined paths, the shadows of the trees intertwine, and the sounds of children playing and birds singing blend together, melodiously and beautifully. Every corner is an opportunity to communicate with nature, and every scenery is like a poem.
Tour tips:
You can bring your own simple picnic food

Jiangyin version of "Ada Scallion Pancake" returns 6r Gongpo Pancake is so delicious
Although it is a humble snack bar, the business is really good. No one collects 🈺, and it depends on self-consciousness. You have to pick up the food according to the payment time. It takes half an hour to queue for a pancake. Although it has not been open for more than a year, it is still a top-tier restaurant after returning now.
-
The pancakes with an average price of 6 yuan have many kinds of fillings. The boss has to take care of all the processes such as making pancakes, weighing fillings, baking pancakes, and baking pancakes. Some people say that he is the "Ada Scallion Pancake" of Jiangyin. Seeing that each filling is super full, I suddenly feel that the cost-effectiveness of 6 yuan is really amazing🈵. One pot can make 7 pancakes with different fillings
-
🍃In-law pancake: thin and crispy pancake skin, the lard inside is roasted and fragrant, and it is not greasy at all. There is filling in every bite, which is worthy of being a "signature"
🍃Chicken pancake: large pieces of chicken and carrot🥕filling, but I don’t like this pancake skin very much, it’s a bit too thick, so it tastes a bit like a "flattened" big bun
🍃Beef pot cake: This one is not a thin pancake, it still feels like a baked bun, but the fusion of beef and pepper salt tastes not so tasteless, and the beef filling is very full
-
All their pancakes can be wrapped with eggs🍳 on the outside. It’s really good to eat them while they are hot right out of the pan, and a pancake is super big, even those with a small appetite can eat it. Unfortunately, the scallion pancakes that day were gone

12 small shops on the streets of Wuxi that are full of human touch and all have traditional flavors
I believe many people have one or two private little restaurants in their minds, right? These small shops may not have luxurious facades and few people have reviewed them online, but it is precisely these small shops that always have a few classic signature dishes that make people linger on the memory! Looking back at 2024, we discovered 12 small shops full of human touch in Wuxi! Some of these shops are even older than I am! The taste buds passed down from generation to generation
-
🍃Tianmei snacks: Heart-warming porridge with fried wontons has a Jiangnan flavor! All the cold cuts are refreshing and delicious, and taste like home! Very cost-effective! Open till midnight
-
🍃Yangping midnight snack: mainly cold dishes! Very few types of hot stir-fry dishes! Basically, we cook whatever is available that day! The original oatmeal porridge is the taste of childhood
-
🍃Fuxin Bathroom: A fly restaurant without a name! Garlic shrimp 🍤 is so delicious! The overall taste will be sweeter! Very generous portion
-
🍃Jinfen Wonton: Freshly made wontons! Knife fish wontons are especially popular in spring! I personally think dry wontons are tastier than soup wontons.
-
🍃Friends Wonton: Vegetable rice is their specialty! All dishes are served on the table in small portions! Homemade toppings! Sweet taste in Wuxi
-
🍃Ming Jiang Pot Stickers: Hot and sour casserole soup is really suitable for autumn and winter! The pot stickers 🥟 are not too juicy but very chewy! The fried pork cutlet was average
-
🍃Zhuqin Snack Wonton: The human touch in the vegetable market🔥There are many kinds of wontons and they are all freshly made! The fillings are very filling and mainly seasonal vegetables

-
🍃Ruyi Restaurant: Home-cooked meals full of human touch! Some dishes feel overly seasoned! But I quite like their chicken soup! A wide variety of dishes
-
🍃Cai A Shui Mutton Shop: A great mutton shop for winter! But lamb chops are sometimes made in advance and then reheated! Poor taste! The amount of mutton soup is good.
-
🍃Sichuan cuisine tofu rice: a fly restaurant in a residential building! The tofu pudding is very special! tasty! All dishes are stir-fried and go well with rice! Not pre-prepared food
-
🍃Hongxiu Restaurant: The taste is more like Wuxi but not too sweet! Great value for money! The salt and pepper spareribs are really amazing! If you don't want to queue, you can go early to eat.
