Yesterday I went to Yixing and stayed at Yixing Yunhu International Resort. The accommodation and scenery are good. Living in the mountains, the air is fresh. From the hotel to the Yunhu Lake, the scenery is pleasant. You can also walk around the tea Expo garden.

Just opposite Dajue Temple, there is a parking lot, you can go to the lake after visiting the temple. No need to buy tickets, the scenery is very beautiful and very quiet. It is very convenient to take mattresses and snacks on the lawn on weekends.

Jiangsu Yunhu International Conference Center is located in the Yunhu Scenic Area (formerly Hengshan Reservoir) in Xizhu Town, Yixing, enjoying unique natural scenery. The entire building is surrounded by mountains and rivers, facing Yunhu Lake, backed by mountains, and adjacent to Yangxian Tea Culture Expo Park, the ancestral courtyard of the famous Buddhist master Xingyun, and Dajue Temple, the largest Buddhist dojo in Southeast Asia.

There are mountains and water around the Yunhu Lake. The bamboo and grass after the rain are green. The park opposite the Dajue Temple has pavilions and paths. It is a good place to hang out. There is a section of a big stone bank. It is a good place for children to play with water.
