For families traveling with children, it not only offers a rich cultural experience, but also many natural attractions suitable for parent-child interaction. Here is a detailed Yixing travel guide for kids to help you plan an unforgettable family trip. ### ✅First stop: Longbeishan Forest Park - A classroom for nature education In the morning, it is recommended to visit Longbeishan Forest Park first. It is the green lung of the city, with a well-developed trail system and rich vegetation. It is especially recommended to take children on a sightseeing train through the forest and learn about various plants in a relaxed atmosphere. There is a children's playground in the park, where slides, swings and other facilities allow children to release their energy. Climb the Wenfeng Pagoda to overlook the city, and tell your children about the history of Yixing, so that natural and cultural knowledge can be cleverly combined. ### ✅Second stop: Shanjuan Cave - Exploring geological wonders In the afternoon, you can drive to the famous Shanjuan Cave Scenic Area. This karst cave, formed millions of years ago, looks like a fairy tale world under the illumination of carefully designed lights. The temperature inside the cave is constant at 18℃, suitable for all seasons. It is recommended to choose a tour route with a guide. Children will be amazed by the unique stalactite shapes such as the "Lion and Elephant Grand Plaza". After leaving the cave, you can experience traditional pottery making and let your children make pottery by hand to feel the charm of purple clay culture (reservations are required in advance). ### ✅Third stop: Yunhu Scenic Area - Waterfront leisure time It is recommended to go to Yunhu Scenic Area in Xizhu Town the next day. The lake and mountains here are beautiful, especially suitable for family cycling. The scenic area provides double/four-person bicycle rentals, and the dedicated lakeside lane is safe and comfortable. In summer, you can take your children to experience kayaking (life jackets are required), or play in the shallows. At noon, you may wish to taste Yixing specialties such as steamed silver fish with eggs and black rice in a lakeside farmhouse. Fresh ingredients are most popular with children. ### 🏯Cultural experience: Ceramics Museum + Shushan Gunan Street If time is sufficient, the China Ceramics Museum cannot be missed. There is a children's interactive area in the museum, which makes the boring history of ceramics vivid and interesting through multimedia displays. Afterwards, you can stroll along Shushan Gunan Street, this well-preserved old street of purple clay is full of studios. Many artists will demonstrate the pot-making process on site. Children can watch the transformation of purple clay from clay to art up close. ### Useful tips: ‼️ 1. Transportation: It is about 30-50 minutes' drive between the scenic spots. You can also choose a taxi (about 60 yuan from Yixing city to Shanjuan Cave) 2. Tickets: Longbeishan is free, Shanjuan Cave joint ticket (including cable car and pottery) is 120 yuan/adult, children under 1.4 meters are free 3. Accommodation: It is recommended to choose a hotel in the city (such as Yixing Hotel), or a characteristic homestay around Yunhu (reservations are required in advance) 4. Best season: Spring and autumn (March-May, September-November) have the most suitable climate for outdoor activities It is recommended to arrange a 2-3 day trip and slow down the pace appropriately. The essence of Yixing lies not in checking in how many attractions, but in allowing children to grow naturally in the mountains and rivers, and learn quietly in the culture. Remember to bring a sketchbook, maybe your child will become the next little purple clay artist!

"Thunder lit the airwaves. Lightning cleaved a befogged sky. Then, the heavens blazed forth in a spectrum of blues that melted into flaxen patches of atmosphere. Like a painting, the sky was a swirl of colors-the firmament hung directly over us in deep indigo, but on the horizon, the sky throbbed in sprightly citrine. Somewhere in between, a somber grey connected the poles of this watercolor sky. A brushstroke of lightning burst the tableau open, and the ablution of the Taihu began. We listened to the raindrops throw themselves against the grass. It was our final, transcendental delectation of the Wuxi we would soon be leaving.” "

Yixing in Jiangsu was advertised with the roadside paintings as a stunning bamboo forest that was very foggy. (Pic5) and Yixing was literally a stunning bamboo forest national park with ridiculous amounts of fog both days we were there. The area is lovely with little restaurants and b&b's plus a couple big hotels near the national park entrance. We stayed at the Bamboo international hotel and it was superb, they were accepting of our road bikes and breakfast was an array of Chinese foods. In the evenings we tried the local restaurants and they were cosy and all had lots of bamboo, potato and pork dishes. On our second day we went into the national park and went up a very long cableway (potentially 30mins). The higher we went the less we could see, but it was fun to walk around the peaks in thick fog and kinda eerie. The lakes and scenery are beautiful and I will return in the future in hope of a slightly clearer day. Getting There- Self-drive, Taxi, tour bus or cycle. The roads are steep and very tight, great for cyclists who love mountain climbing as there wasn't much traffic.

a while ago I was privileged enough to visit this lovely park. this place is called the bamboo forest because the whole area is filled with so many bamboo trees and thus makes it such a great experience. the only thing I would have loved to see would be the cute pandas but unfortunately this area doesn’t have any. This place is actually located in a small county just outside Wuxi in Jiangsu province and I was able to visit this spot with a bunch of amazing photographers and capture the beauty of this place. another cool thing you could do here is to hike. there is a hill which is not too high, so it’s not such a tough hike but at the top, you have an amazing view, and also there’s a temple at the top and a gong that you might be able to ring. this was such an amazing experience for me and I recommend everyone to try this.#momentsmission #travelinspiration #scenicspotguide #decembertravel #naturalwonders #nationalpark

Jiangsu Yixing is rich in bamboo and has been known as the sea of bamboo since ancient times. The bamboo with a radius of more than tens of thousands of mu is undulating with the mountains and over 800 miles. It is like the waves of the sea rolling over and forming an emerald sea. It is also known as the "first bamboo sea in China". My hometown There are also many bamboo forests in Guangxi. Even my grandmother's house is full of bamboo, but when I came to the lake, I was shocked by the greenery here. Into the bamboo seascape area, 10,000 acres of green bamboo, green and dripping, bamboo circuit turn, really amazing, I feel that I can shoot more than a dozen Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. After walking for a while, I decided to take the cable car to the top of the mountain. The newly built cableway is 1,500 meters long and the upper and lower stations are 400 meters apart. It is the most in the east of China. Take the cable car to the top of the "Sunan Peak". On the way, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the bamboo sea in the air. In the wind, you can enjoy the magnificent and turbulent waves of the bamboo sea. The bamboo sea seen in the cable car mountain is very shocking. The foot is really a sea of green water, stretching to the mountains and clouds in the distance. The cable car is very steep, and people with fear of high disease still have to be careful, but it is wonderful to shuttle between the breathtaking and beautiful scenery.

| Yaohu Town Travel Guide in Yixing. 🌧️ First Impression: When a Cyber Train Meets the Jiangnan with a Cement Scent The afterglow of the spiral staircase photoshoot at Taodu Peninsula Hotel hadn't faded when we arrived at Yaohu Town by car. The moment we passed through the antique-style archway, a drone was filming a promotional video overhead—the black-tiled, white-walled buildings flowed like an ink-wash scroll in the lens, but in reality, the scent of fresh cement lingered in the air. My friend sighed, "This isn't 'Beautiful Streams and Mountains'—it's 'Beautiful New Construction'!" --- 📸 Photo Rescue: 3 Hidden Spots to Save Your Shots Though the town lacks historical depth, creative lighting can still work magic: 1. **Lakeside Boardwalk Trick**: Drones! We regretted not bringing one. 2. **Waterwheel**: Use a wide-angle lens to capture the waterwheel and stream. 3. **Nighttime Redemption**: After 21:00, the crowds thin out. The embers of the fire performance at Shehuo Square linger—grab sparklers and shoot "dancing fire trails." Surreal Moment: The cloud train gliding through bamboo forests offers a unique view. --- 🍜 Food Pitfalls: The Hunger Games at 2 PM The harsh truth about scenic dining hits hard: - **In-Park Restaurants**: The "Dongpo Banquet Set" serves pre-made dishes in purple clay pots—the crab roe tofu tastes canned. - **Last Resort Outside**: "Ancient Kiln Restaurant" closes at 14:00 sharp! The owner pointed to a Yixing proverb on the wall: "No meals past noon—the chefs need to tend the dragon kiln~" Survival Tips: ① Grab black sticky rice at the Lakeside Food Market before 13:00. ② Pack portable heating packs for a "mobile picnic" on rowing boats. ③ Drive 5 km to Zhangzhu Town—the wonton shop next to KFC is the locals' go-to. --- 🗺️ Must-See Route: 3-Hour Speedrun of a New Water Town ⏰ Crowd-Avoiding Schedule: - Enter at 15:00: Skip tour groups and enjoy the train alone. - Arrive by 18:30: Secure the lakeside spot for the dragon water show. 🚶 Reverse Crowd Path: East Gate → Dash to the Purple Clay Tower summit → Take the train backward to Tianjie Station → Watch fire dancing at Shehuo Square → Capture blue-hour shots at Dragon Kiln → Exit via West Gate. --- ⚠️ Survival Rules for New Towns: Lower Expectations, Raise Skills 1. **Lodging Paradox**: The in-park "Yaohu Grand Hotel" pool reflects the Purple Clay Tower, but Taodu Peninsula offers better value. 2. **Ticket Hack**: Online "Train + Entry" combos save ¥25. 3. **Silver Lining**: Treat faux-antique buildings as photo backdrops—focus on details like the weathered Qing Dynasty hitching post. --- 📜 Xuan Yao's Notes: Salvaging a Scoop of Old Jiangnan from the Cracks of Cement On the way back to Shanghai, grease from a KFC bag smudged the "Clouds Over Jiangnan" print on our train ticket stub. It reminded me of Su Dongpo’s line about Yixing: "I’ll grow old buying land in Yangxian." If he saw this half-finished water town, would he reconsider? Perhaps all newly built ancient towns are awkward hybrids of time—not old enough, not new enough, yet stubbornly cradling urbanites’ fantasies of rural idylls.

I've long been searching for hidden gems in Jiangnan, and this time I finally discovered a treasure—Yaohu Town in Yixing, Jiangsu! Previously seeing it frequently recommended on social media, I visited in early spring and was amazed by the poetic experiences tucked away here. The millennia-old kiln culture intertwines with blooming spring flowers, unlocking a whole new level of healing travel in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai region. Located in Yixing, Jiangsu, the town is easily accessible. Take a high-speed train to "Yixing Station," then a 30-minute taxi ride will get you there. If driving, simply navigate to "Yaohu Town Visitor Center" for a smooth arrival. Once here, these spots are must-visits! Top recommendation is the "Floral Wonderland," a dreamy valley hideaway. This year’s trending Monet Garden theme is perfectly recreated here. Strolling through, the gentle charm of Jiangnan blends with the vibrant floral valley, creating a surreal atmosphere. When mist rises over the water, it feels like stepping into a fantasy world. At night, the scene transforms, offering a breathtaking view of the dragon-themed water and fireworks show. Don’t miss the "Floral Express" cloud train. Winding through flower fields and bamboo-covered mountains, this "spring special" ride feels straight out of an anime. Sitting inside, you’ll feel like the protagonist of a romantic adventure. The lakeside boardwalk is a viral photo hotspot. At dawn, with mist drifting over the lake, walking here feels like entering a fairyland—every snapshot is postcard-perfect, making it Jiangsu’s newest landmark. The town’s performances are another highlight. During Qingming Festival, up to 36 dazzling shows run daily. Night shows are particularly spectacular—don’t leave early! "Millennia of Kiln Fire" blends intangible cultural heritage like Nuo dance, fire pots, and skirt dances. "Zama Banquet Band" delivers heavenly vocals that light up the night, while "Dragon Water Fireworks" paints the sky in unforgettable brilliance. Missed Qingming? No worries—all shows return unchanged for Labor Day! Seize the chance to start your magical spring journey at Yaohu Town!
