Tai Hu Yuantouzhu Scenic Spot(Turtle Head Isle)

The entrance fee includes a boat ticket, and waiting for the boat during holidays is a nightmare. We took an electric cart to the pier, which saved us a lot of energy. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the huge crowds almost exhausted us 😔. Be careful of breadcrumbs falling from above while watching the seagulls from the first floor of the boat; the lady next to me had them all over her head. The scenery on the island was quite nice, and the return trip didn't have as many queues as the outbound trip.

Visiting Yuantouzhu in February, though the cherry blossoms weren't in full bloom, I found a unique, serene charm to be found in the Jiangnan region during winter! Strolling along Taihu Lake, a gentle breeze rippled the surface, while distant mountains were shrouded in a light mist, like a watercolor painting. By Changchun Bridge, withered lotus leaves and bare branches sculpted rugged lines under the warm sun, occasionally graced by migratory birds, adding a touch of life to the tranquil lake. A boat trip on the lake, though chilly, brought a sense of openness and expansiveness, offering breathtaking views of Taihu's vastness and serenity. Ancient trees towered within the scenic area, and the first blooms of red plum blossoms released their subtle fragrance, creating a picturesque scene with the rustic pavilions. The service was meticulous, the signs were clear, and even in the off-season, every corner was scenic, making it a place I lingered in. I'll definitely come back when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in spring!

My visit to Yuantouzhu in February, though I missed the cherry blossoms in full bloom, offered a unique winter charm of Jiangnan! Strolling along Taihu Lake, the chilly wind swept across the water, carrying a refreshing dampness. Distant mountains appeared like dark eyebrows, and the lake was shrouded in mist, resembling a traditional Chinese ink painting. The withered lotus and bare branches by Changchun Bridge possessed a rugged beauty under the warm winter sun, occasionally graced by migratory birds skimming the water, adding a touch of liveliness. A boat trip on the lake, though the cold wind on my face, brought a sense of exhilaration; the vastness and tranquility of Taihu Lake instantly made me forget the hustle and bustle of city life. Ancient trees towered within the scenic area, and the first red plum blossoms released their subtle fragrance, creating a picturesque scene with the ancient pavilions and towers. The service was attentive, and the signs were clear; even in the off-season, every corner was scenic. I'll definitely come back to admire the cherry blossoms when spring arrives!
