A very comfortable city. Really quaint. The hotel I stayed in was near the Yuehe Historical District. I walked to the Yuehe Historical District, where there is the God of Wealth Hall and Zongzi Cultural Museum. There is a flower and bird market next door, and then I walked to the Zicheng Ruins Park. There is a Catholic church nearby where you can take photos. Then I walked to the Haogu Pagoda Courtyard, where Wu Zixu is enshrined. You can walk to the top of the tower inside and see the panoramic view of Jiaxing City. Then I walked to the Nanhu Scenic Area. The road along the way is very beautiful, passing by Lanxiu Garden and Shao Garden. It is very beautiful inside and free. Remember to take a look. Some people play harmonicas, some play saxophones, some have picnics, and some take walks. There is wind and sun, it is really comfortable and easy to walk.

1 hr from Shanghai❗|||Nanhu Lake is a landmark of Jiaxing. If you visit Jiaxing for the first time, you must take a walk around Nanhu Lake. It is one of the three famous lakes in Zhejiang and a sacred place. To our surprise, compared with the bustling atmosphere of West Lake, there are far fewer people around Nanhu Lake. Sometimes, you can't even see anyone in front of or behind you. It's a paradise for introverts! 🎫Ticket: 🆓 🕰️Opening hours: All day (some attractions 8:00–17:00) ⏱️Tour time: 3–4 hours 🔁Route length: 5.5 km 🚌Transportation 🚘Self-driving: Navigate to the underground parking lot at 2 Nanhu Road, Nanhu Tiandi (free for the first 2 hours, CNY 5/hour thereafter) 🚃Bus: Tram Line 1, Fangong Road Jinghu Road Station 🗺️Route Nanhu Tiandi ➡️ Huijing Garden ➡️ Huxin Island ➡️ Huijing Garden ➡️ Shao Garden ➡️ Chenggong Dike ➡️ Haogu Tower ➡️ Xiaoyingzhou ➡️ Nanhu Tiandi 1️⃣Nanhu Tiandi An open commercial street by Nanhu Lake with many coffee, drink, and food shops. Have lunch here before setting off, and after walking around the lake, come back here for dinner. 2️⃣Huijing Garden Surrounded by water on three sides, it is a great place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Nanhu Lake. There is Zuixian Tower with an inscription by Jin Yong, and an artificial waterfall made of more than 2,000 tons of yellow stones. 3️⃣Huxin Island A small island on Nanhu Lake, which can be reached by boat from the Huijing Garden Wharf (CNY 20/person). The main attractions are Yanyu Tower and the Red Boat. Yanyu Tower is one of the nine famous towers, and its name comes from the poem "Four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasties, how many towers and pavilions are in the mist and rain." Qianlong visited Yanyu Tower eight times and wrote more than 20 poems praising it. The garden here is small but exquisite, with strange doors and windows, similar to He Garden in Yangzhou. 4️⃣Shao Garden A small Jiangnan garden with stone bridges, flowing water, rockeries, and pavilions. In spring, you can enjoy flowers such as tulips, cherry blossoms, and crabapples, and in winter, you can enjoy plum blossoms. 5️⃣Chenggong Dike A long and narrow dike with willow trees on the shore. The lake breeze blows, the willow branches sway, and the insects and birds chirp. It's very pleasant! 6️⃣Haogu Tower The tower is seven stories high, and you can climb it for free to overlook the panoramic view of Nanhu Lake. Next to it is Wuxiang Temple. The traditional Dragon Boat Festival in Jiaxing is to commemorate Wu Zixu. 7️⃣Xiaoyingzhou Another small island on Nanhu Lake, known as the Little Yanyu Tower, connected to the north bank by a zigzag bridge.

[Awesome] Living in Jiangsu, which is called "Jiangsu without nightlife" by netizens, I still can't get used to it when I came to Jiaxing, because there is even less nightlife here than in our country. So, take advantage of the daylight and go for a good stroll. · [StarsEyeUU] One-day tour route Jiaxing Museum--Nanhu Lake Island--Nanhu New World--Jiaxing Station--Wu Xiang Temple (Haogu Tower)--Zicheng Ruins Park--Shaonian Street--Yuehe Historical and Cultural District--Luxihui Historical District · [Dolphin] Transportation These places are all very close, and public transportation, shared (electric) bicycles, and walking are all possible. · 1️⃣ Jiaxing Museum There are many highlights in Jiaxing Museum, especially the various cultural relics from the Songze culture period, which are very cute and touch the aesthetic taste of our ancestors thousands of years ago. The museum is divided into two areas, north and south. The south area has two basic displays, "The Source of Hexing" and "The Fertile Land of Jiahe", while the north area has basic displays, "Meili Yunshang", "Harmony and Coexistence" and "Harmonious Jiali", and both areas have temporary exhibitions. · 2️⃣Nanhu Lake Island Tickets for the Lake Heart Island can be purchased from the official WeChat account of "Jiaxing Nanhu Scenic Area" for round-trip boat tickets. Nanhu is Jiaxing’s most shining business card, and the spirit of the Nanhu Red Boat has been passed down from generation to generation. But for martial arts fans, Jiaxing has Zuixianlou, Yanyulou, and Jin Yong. The Zuixian Tower in Nanhu Lake is the site of the battle between the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Qiu Chuji. The Yanyu Tower on the island in the middle of the lake is the battlefield where the Seven Sons of Quanzhen fought against the East Evil. So, how can this not be considered a pilgrimage for martial arts fans? · 3️⃣ Jiaxing Station This was also the first time I made a special trip to check in at a train station while traveling. The North Square of Jiaxing Station has replicated the old station building in the style of the Republic of China at a 1:1 scale. The first floor displays the deeds of the representatives of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China who came to Jiaxing in 1921, as well as introductions to Jiaxing celebrities. The second floor is a cultural and creative space and a coffee and tea bar. Jiaxing Station is a sunken railway station. The ground space is all land, and there is a different world underground. From the ground to the underground, it feels like a time-travel experience. The passage from the North Square to the South Square is full of technology. · 4️⃣ Wu Xiang Temple (Haogu Tower) Wu Xiang Temple, as the name suggests, is the temple of Wu Zixu. Inside is the Haogu Tower, one of the "Seven Towers and Eight Temples". This is currently the only tower in Jiaxing that can be climbed. Standing on the top of the tower, you can overlook the city scenery. · 5️⃣Zicheng Ruins Park Zicheng was first built during the Three Kingdoms period and was the seat of county and government offices in Jiaxing throughout the ages. It records the evolution of local political power, systems, and officials throughout the dynasties and contains a profound institutional culture. Next to Zicheng Park is Jiaxing Catholic Church, where you can check in. · 6️⃣ Juvenile Street Shao Nian Street is an ordinary commercial street, but it connects Zicheng and Yuehe, so you can go shopping there~ · 7️⃣Yuehe Historical and Cultural District I like lively historical and cultural blocks. Yuehe has all the elements of an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, with small bridges, flowing water, houses, white walls, black tiles, and horse-head walls. But I like the flower market inside the most. The flowers are beautiful and cheap. I really want to buy them~ There is also a Zongzi Culture Museum where you can visit. When you come to Jiaxing, how can you not get to know Zongzi again? · 8️⃣Luxihui Historic District It’s diagonally opposite the Yue River. Maybe because it was dark when I went shopping, I felt like nothing was going well, so I decided to go shopping again in the daylight.

Misty Rain Tower and the Red Boat are located on the island in the center of the lake. You need to take a ferry from Huijingyuan Wharf (CNY 20 for a round trip). 🌟Misty Rain Tower is named after the poem "480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many pavilions are in the mist and rain?" It has a rich history and culture. It is also the place where the Seven Taoist Priests of Quanzhen fought Huang Yaoshi in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. 🌟Wuxiang Temple was built in memory of Wu Zixu.
