Follow the reviews and don't get lost. I chose the first one, and it really lived up to its reputation. I bought a set meal for 2-3 people in a group purchase, and was shocked by the amount served. A large fish head in a casserole, with four bowls of soup, was really fresh, and the fish was super tender. The waiters were super nice and told us that the fish would be more delicious if dipped in vinegar. After eating it, it was true. A little pepper can be added to the fish soup to make it more fresh. Three people were actually full with a fish head soup [smiley face][call], the black rice in the group purchase is a local specialty, sweet and delicious 😋, bamboo shoots, and local eggs are all authentic farm dishes, very solid 👍, the meat is fresh and a little ham is added to enhance the flavor, which is quite delicious. Even during peak meal times, the waiter will carefully ask if you are used to it, which is very attentive. [love]

Jiangsu Province boasts not only the historical weight of its six ancient capitals but also the poetic charm and vibrant life hidden within its county towns. Yixing's bamboo forests and pottery, Xuyi's mountain streams and crayfish, Liyang's lakeside highways, and Rugao's ancient elegance and longevity—these four county towns shine like four pearls, each with its own unique brilliance. Visiting just two of them would make the trip worthwhile! ------ I. Yixing: A Hidden Gem in the Pottery Capital and Bamboo Forest Recommended Off-the-Beaten-Path Attractions: Longbeishan Forest Park: Escape the crowds and climb to the top of Wenfeng Pagoda for panoramic views of Yixing. Hidden within 5,000 acres of forest is a hundred-acre rose garden. While there may not be a sea of ​​flowers in autumn, the vibrant colors of the forest create a serene atmosphere. Jade Maiden Pool: The private garden of Zhou Yanru, a top scholar of the Ming Dynasty. The pool's water is like jade, and the rocks are rugged. Taking photos in Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) feels like stepping back in time. Highlights: • Pottery DIY: In the "Ancient South Street" of Dingshu Town, learn to make a Zisha teapot with an intangible cultural heritage inheritor and feel the warmth of the clay. • Night Tour of Yangxian Xishan: Enjoy the charm of a Jiangnan town under the lights, listen to Pingtan (a traditional storytelling and ballad singing art) in a teahouse, and experience the romance of a "night cruise." History and Culture: Yixing is the birthplace of Zisha teapots. Its 7,000-year history of pottery making has earned it the reputation of "Pottery Capital." Su Shi once wrote the poem, "I will grow old here in Yangxian, having bought land here." Itinerary: Day 1: Climb Longbei Mountain → Explore Yunu Pool → Pottery making in Ancient South Street → Overnight stay in Xishan Town. Day 2: Explore Shanjuan Cave → Cycling through the Bamboo Forest (Less-known route: Zhanggong Cave to Yunu Pool section). Tips: There are many mosquitoes in the bamboo forest, so bring mosquito repellent; it is recommended to book the pottery making experience in advance. II. Xuyi: Mountains, Waters, and Local Flavors by Hongze Lake Recommended Off-the-Beaten-Path Attractions: Tieshan Temple Tianquan Lake: Even more tranquil than the First Mountain, the autumn redwood forest is reflected in the lake. Take a boat trip through the "water forest" and you might even encounter flocks of egrets. Huanghuatang New Fourth Army Headquarters Memorial Hall: A hidden gem in red tourism, the restored headquarters site and immersive theater take visitors back to the war years. Highlights: • Ming Ancestral Mausoleum Night Tour: In the autumn evening, the setting sun bathes the stone carvings in gold. Drone aerial photography can capture the breathtaking "water imperial mausoleum." • Kejie Culinary Delights: Avoid the crayfish season and try Xuyi's "Thirteen-Spice Chestnuts" and "Yushan Tea," experiencing the local's hidden gem of local flavor. Historical and Cultural Highlights: Xuyi is an important center of Chu-Han culture. The discovery of the Ming Ancestral Mausoleum reveals the sacrificial traditions of the Ming Dynasty imperial family, while the cliff carvings at Tieshan Temple bear witness to the flourishing of Buddhism during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Route Planning: Day 1: Ming Ancestral Mausoleum → Hiking at Tieshan Temple → Night Tour of Tianquan Lake. Day 2: Huanghuatang Memorial Hall → Kejie Food → Xiangshan Mining Park (“Jiangsu’s Little Santorini”). Tips: Wearing light-colored clothing will result in better photos at Xiangshan Park; driving between scenic spots is recommended as public transportation is infrequent. III. Liyang: A Healing Journey Connected by the Rainbow Highway Recommended Off-the-Beaten-Path Attractions: Pingqiao Stone Dam: Asia's largest masonry arch dam. During the autumn high-water season, the waterfall cascades like a silver river, and after rain, the mist creates a fairyland-like atmosphere. Bieqiao Original Rice Dream Space: Hobbit-style cottages, giant scarecrows, a hidden paradise for family trips. The golden rice fields in autumn offer incredibly healing photo opportunities. Highlights: • Highway 1 Drive: The 365km Rainbow Road connects Tianmu Lake and Nanshan Bamboo Sea, offering scenic and less crowded spots like "Goddess Lake" and "The Tricks of Love." • Tianmu Lake Night Fishing: Autumn brings plump fish; experience the joy of night fishing with locals. Route Planning: Day 1: Pingqiao Shiba → Bieqiao Yuanxiang → Overnight stay at a Tianmu Lake guesthouse. Day 2: Highway 1 Drive → Nanshan Bamboo Sea off-the-beaten-path trail (from the ancient official road to the first peak of Wuyue). Tips: The best lighting at Daomeng Space is after 4 PM; headlamps and mosquito repellent are necessary for night fishing. IV. Rugao: The Ancient Charm and Delicious Food of the Longevity Town Recommended Off-the-Beaten-Path Attractions: Shuihui Garden Washing Pot Pond: Avoid the crowds at the main scenic area and enjoy the tranquility of a late Ming Dynasty garden in the early morning. Sip Rugao green tea in the pondside teahouse and listen to birdsong and cicada chirps. Dongda Street Intangible Cultural Heritage Workshop: Experience Rugao's redwood carving and bonsai making in a century-old house, and take home a handmade souvenir. Highlights: • Dinghui Temple Vegetarian Cuisine: Vegetarian noodles from a 1400-year-old temple, made with local mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots, with a delicious broth. • Longyou River Ecological Park: A treasure trove for locals' morning exercise; the ginkgo avenue is carpeted in gold in autumn, making for a wonderful cycling experience. History and Culture: Rugao is one of the earliest cultural birthplaces in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The royal imprint of Dinghui Temple and the tales of talented scholars in Shuihui Garden tell stories spanning a thousand years. Itinerary: Day 1: Shuihui Garden Washing Pool → Dinghui Temple Vegetarian Cuisine → Dongda Street Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience. Day 2: Longyou River Cycling → Rugao Museum → Enjoy Crab Roe Soup Dumplings (recommended: "Sihai Lou"). Tips: Rugao cuisine tends to be sweet; request "less sugar" when ordering; shared electric bikes are the best way to explore the ancient city. Avoid these pitfalls: 1. Yixing Pottery: "Free trials" within scenic areas may be used to sell overpriced courses. It's recommended to visit a studio in Dingshu Town instead. 2. Xuyi Crayfish: Autumn is not peak season. Be cautious when buying "freshly caught crayfish," as they may not be fresh. 3. Liyang Fish Head: Prices at farmhouses around Tianmu Lake vary widely. Choose established local eateries (such as "Yu Yan Lou"). 4. Rugao Baked Flatbread: The "Grass Oven Baked Flatbread" on Dongda Street is the most fragrant when freshly baked. Avoid buying pre-packaged ready-made versions. These four counties in Jiangsu are either picturesque, culturally rich, or charmingly rustic. Visiting just two is enough to make your trip worthwhile! This autumn, why not choose two for a healing journey? #Off-the-Beaten-PathFreeSpots #LeisureDestinations #JiangsuTravel #WeekendGetaways #Off-the-Beaten-PathTravelDestinations
