Stunning! This Ancient City Hides Breathtaking Scenery That Even Emperor Qianlong Was Obsessed With

Who understands this, folks! I regret not visiting this Jiangnan hidden gem earlier, which Emperor Qianlong chose four times! Consider this: Qianlong traveled to Jiangnan six times, and four times he rushed to this place. I used to wonder what magical place could be so captivating, until I visited personally. Gliding in on a paddle boat, I was absolutely blown away!! This Yanguan Tide Music City hidden in Haining is an absolute treasure for trips around the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai area! Transportation is super convenient - train travelers can get off at Haining West Station or Tongxiang Station and take a taxi directly there! Driving from Hangzhou takes just over 30 minutes - perfect for spontaneous trips! Save this immersive travel guide: ✅ Tide Viewing Park: The must-visit spot! Tide times vary daily, so check the official schedule in advance or ask staff members. When the tide rushes in like thousands of galloping horses with deafening roars, the magnificent power of nature will give you goosebumps! ✅ Yanguan Tide Wall: You'll be amazed by the two impressive city walls right at the entrance! Whether shooting traditional-style photos during the day or capturing the blue hour in the evening, casual shots will blow up your social media! ✅ Gongchen Gate: Highly recommend taking a boat ride under the city gate to experience "traveling through a thousand years" of romance! If you're lucky, you might catch a pipa performance on the water, creating a perfect atmosphere! ✅ Imperial Dock: Emperor Qianlong's actual landing spot during his southern tours. Standing here, you can almost imagine the grand procession of that era, with the weight of history washing over you! ✅ Chen Elder's Mansion: The legendary residence of the Chen family of Haining. With deep courtyards and a century-old pine tree as its treasure, it's filled with the charm of a scholarly family! ✅ Sea God Temple: Architecture enthusiasts will love it! The magnificent building complex offers cinematic shots whether you're capturing panoramas from the steps or using symmetrical composition inside the ceremonial gate! ✅ Confucian Temple and Academy: Red walls and green trees make this the ultimate traditional photo spot! Hanfu enthusiasts should rush here - you can get Forbidden City-quality photos in minutes! ✅ Music Home Museum: A hidden gem on the basement floor of the Lead Singer Music Resort Hotel! Here you can learn about musicians' stories, immersively experience various instruments' sounds, and even fulfill your conductor fantasy - super fun! Tips: Plan a full day to explore slowly, experiencing both the impressive tides and savoring the historical charm of the ancient city. What are you waiting for? Grab your friends and set off on a spontaneous Jiangnan journey!
