Things to do in Yizheng

The scenic area boasts pavilions, towers, bridges, and flowing water, creating a beautiful landscape. Weeping willows sway along the lake, and the lake water ripples gently. Attractions such as the Five Pavilion Bridge, Xu Garden, and the Twenty-Four Bridges each have their own unique features. I also enjoyed watching the live performance "More Than Just March in Yangzhou," which is highly recommended and deserves praise.

It's really good! The location is excellent, and it's incredibly crowded, but that's to be expected during the holidays. The overall ticket price is a bit high, but it's worth seeing. The view from the top is great! 😂😂😂😂

Positive review. The park has giant pandas and many other attractions included in the ticket price, making it great value. The kids had a lot of fun, and the iron flower performance was incredibly beautiful and impressive. Thumbs up!

Ge Garden in Yangzhou, a private residence of a salt merchant during the Qing Dynasty, is most stunning for its four-season rockery, a unique example within the garden. Within the garden, stones are stacked to represent the four seasons, while the bamboo groves offer tranquility and a different view at every turn. The garden connects to Dongguan Street, allowing visitors to experience the local life and atmosphere after exploring the garden, making it well worth a visit.

The National Day holiday activities were plentiful and varied. I specifically chose to go in the evening. The mini-program's guidance was excellent, and the crowd was just right. Aside from the underground parking lot's notoriously slow exit speed, the entertainment was perfect for young people to have fun! The most commendable part was the fireworks display during the holiday; the five-minute show brought the entire Happy Valley to its climax! It was beautiful!

Perfect for walking, very comfortable. Unfortunately, it's not yet late autumn, the peak season for red leaves. [Helpful Reminder] If you take the subway, "be sure" to follow the same route back to the subway station. Walking through the food street is like walking a complete circle around the neighborhood, adding about a kilometer to your journey.

He Garden (Jixiao Villa) truly lives up to its reputation as the "Number One Garden of the Late Qing Dynasty"—it's definitely worth a visit! The most stunning feature is its covered walkways and corridors, two stories high, interconnected like an ancient overpass. Even on rainy days, you won't get wet. Every step reveals a new vista, with various latticed windows framing the garden like paintings—every snapshot is a masterpiece. The Pian Shi Shan Fang (Stone Retreat) is a unique example of rockery by the master Shi Tao, incorporating the ingenious concepts of "flowers in a mirror" and "moon in the water." The brick and wood carvings in the Shui Xin Ting (Water Pavilion) and Mu Dan Tang (Peony Hall) are exquisite, showcasing the fusion of Chinese and Western architectural styles of the late Qing Dynasty. The garden is full of detail and rich in cultural heritage. A leisurely two-hour stroll is just right—highly recommended! A guided tour is still necessary! A wonderful visit! Learned a lot!

The ancient Daming Temple, with its thousand-year history, is adjacent to the Slender West Lake, boasting a tranquil environment with towering ancient trees. The Jianzhen Memorial Hall, designed by Liang Sicheng, exudes Tang Dynasty style. Climbing the Qiling Pagoda offers a panoramic view of the Slender West Lake and Yangzhou city, a truly magnificent vista. There's also Pingshan Hall and the Fifth Spring Under Heaven, combining Buddhist heritage with the literary atmosphere of Ouyang Xiu. The gentle chimes under the eaves bring a sense of peace. A visit to Yangzhou is definitely worthwhile.

The Yangzhou Grand Canal Three Bends Scenic Area, situated on the banks of the ancient Grand Canal, is an extension of the Grand Canal near the Slender West Lake. Originally a series of sharp bends in the canal, it has been cleverly transformed, turning the engineering marvel of "three bends equaling one dam" into an ecological and cultural landscape. From its vantage point, one can view the iconic China Grand Canal Museum, with the Lingbo Bridge and Silhouette Bridge arching across the water like rainbows. Together with the wetland boardwalk and birdwatching huts, they form a beautiful picture of urban-canal coexistence, blending the ancient and modern, making it a model for showcasing the ecological civilization of the Grand Canal and the charm of Yangzhou's cultural tourism. Admission is free.

A model of lakeside gardens! The long and narrow lake meanders, with the Five Pavilion Bridge, White Pagoda and Twenty-Four Bridges arranged in succession. Willows and pavilions line both banks, and every step reveals a new scene. Taking a boat trip on the lake allows you to immerse yourself in the experience of "flowers and willows on both banks are entirely dependent on the water, and pavilions and terraces all the way to the mountains".
