I declare! This is the most worthwhile ancient city in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai

After traveling all over Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, I discovered this treasure city that is in no way inferior to Suzhou and Hangzhou. The ancient city of Yanguan has both the small bridges and flowing water unique to the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the majestic Qiantang River tide. Even Emperor Qianlong visited Jiangnan six times and checked in here four times! If you are still worrying about where to go on the weekend, you might as well come here for a stroll. 📍Yanguan Ancient City-City of Chaole 🚗40 minutes by car in Hangzhou, 2 hours in Shanghai 🚇 Take a taxi from Hangzhou-Haicheng Intercity Railway to Yanguan Station for 30 minutes 🚄Take the high-speed rail to Haining West Station, then take a taxi for 20 minutes ✅Must-see tour route similar to that of Emperor Qianlong Yanguan Tide Wall➡️Gongchen Gate➡️Bei Dajie➡️Imperial Pier➡️Chen Ge Lao's House➡️Temple of Poseidon➡️Jin Yong Academy➡️Confucius Temple➡️Yanguan Music House Museum➡️Wang Guowei's Former Residence➡️Tide Watching Park ✅Seven check-in spots, don’t miss them 1.

Gongchen Gate: An ancient city gate with a history of more than 600 years. Rowing boats travel back and forth through it, making it easy to take ancient style photos. Don’t forget to take a rowboat ride and experience the afternoon tea on the Zui Jiangnan Cruise. 3. Confucius Temple and Palace: The magnificent architecture is matched with the same red walls as the Forbidden City. It is suitable for taking photos and also for studying and praying. 4. Temple of the Sea God: This temple is dedicated to the "God of Zhejiang Sea". Emperor Qianlong would come here to pray for blessings and peace in the area during his southern tour. 5. Tide-Watching Park: The same tide-watching spot as in textbooks, the “first-line tide” is as worthy of its name, the scene is super shocking. 6. Yanguan Music House Museum: full of design sense, large space, with explanations, and immersive experience of the charm of music. 7. Chen Ge Lao's Residence: When the magnolias are in full bloom, the ancient residence is full of spring vitality, witnessing its glorious past and legendary stories. ✅Accommodation recommendations Xuandemen Hotel is quiet and comfortable. It perfectly integrates Song aesthetics with Jiangnan gardens. It is great for taking photos!
