Yixing, the Pottery Capital | Explore Yaohu Town, a Fairyland on Earth

|Explore Yaohu Town, a Fairyland on Earth. In early winter, I stepped into Yaohu Town in Yixing in the morning mist, and was greeted by a fresh and natural atmosphere. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that this paradise is located in the bustling Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai area. No wonder Yaohu Town has been trending on social media recently, and my friends have all come here to "check in". It is said to have become the most popular cultural and leisure tourism destination in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai area. 🌟 Highlights: The "real mountains and waters" here are not just a name, as the scenery is like a movie set. If you think the scenery by the lake is too quiet, take a walk in the tea mountains nearby. There are large tea gardens around Yaohu Lake, and the tea trees are as neat as if they have been trained in military posture, and as green as if they have been filtered. I was not very interested in climbing mountains, but I was healed by the scenery along the way: the sunlight shone through the forest onto the stone road, the air was filled with a faint tea fragrance, and the sound of gurgling streams accompanied me. I really wanted to record this journey as a lullaby. ❤ Recommended reasons: Yaohu Town is not only about natural scenery, but also has a rich cultural heritage. Yixing is the hometown of purple clay teapots, and Yaohu Town has taken purple clay culture to a new height. There is a whole purple clay art gallery in the town, which gathers various purple clay teapot works, from traditional classics to modern creativity, dazzling the eyes. ✅ Must-try: The sightseeing train runs clockwise around the town, taking about 50 minutes in total, with 18 minutes to enter the town and 30 minutes to leave the town. As the train moves slowly, the picturesque scenery of the town unfolds like a fairyland. 🚉 Transportation guide: Self-driving route: Navigate to "Yaohu Town Visitor Center" Take a high-speed train: Arrive at Yixing Station, and take a short taxi ride to reach the destination 🗓 Itinerary: Day 1️⃣: Have fun at Yaohu Bamboo Rat Water Park ➡ Watch the spectacular dragon-shaped water show ➡ Rest at Yaohu Hotel Day 2️⃣: Train trip ➡ Stroll around the town ➡ Boat trip on the lake ➡ Watch the single bamboo drifting performance ➡ Return
