📅Travel guide: Recommended half-day tour route~~Jiangyin Bund👉🏻Yangtze River International Chapel👉🏻Zhongshan Park
[Rainbow] Jiangyin Bund: Take the S1 subway line directly to the destination, exit from Exit 3 and turn left through the food street. You can first go to [RoundNails] Ebizui Park and stroll along the plank road by the river. China's first suspension bridge, the ancient artillery forts of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the fortress forest park complement each other. Walk out of the west gate of Ebizui Park and you will reach the [RoundNails] Shipyard Park. This is the former site of a shipyard. The highlight is the "Yuanwang No. 2 Survey Ship". You can make an appointment and pay to visit the ship. It is full of industrial style! The last stop can be [RoundNails] Jiucaigang Park, where you can see the cool internet-famous bridge.
[Rainbow] Yangtze River International Chapel: A Gothic-style church with a majestic spire over 80 meters high. The main church is on the second floor, and the sunlight shining on the stained glass creates wonderful light and shadows. 🚟Address: No. 103 Tongjiang North Road, Jiangyin, accessible by Jiangyin Bus No. 88/18.
[Rainbow] Jiangyin Zhongshan Park: Formerly the Jiangsu Provincial Education Office Ruins Park, directly accessible via Zhongshan Park Station on Line S1. There is a thousand-year-old wisteria planted in the garden during the Song Dynasty. It is still lush and green after more than 1,300 years. It is worth seeing!
[Cutlery] Food recommendation: As a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, Jiangyin’s dishes are mainly fresh from the river and tend to be sweet. Xiaolongbao, fish ball soup, puffer fish, etc. are all must-try delicacies.
