A one-day travel guide to Changzhou (Water Rhythm Annual Pass Version)

Suzhou-Changzhou 🚅23 (same & discount code 7 yuan cheaper) Changzhou-Suzhou🚅25 (same & 5 yuan cheaper) Suzhou 🚇 round trip 2.3r; Changzhou 🚇 2r; 🍦 5r Total cost of Changzhou trip: 23+25+2.3+2+5=57.3r ① Dongpo Garden (free) Take Line 1 at Changzhou Station and transfer to Line 2 to get off at Hongmei Park Station and walk 500 meters to see the place where Su Dongpo finally died and experience the canal culture. 👍Most Recommended: ②Hongmei Park (free) The park is very large, and Bijia Mountain is very interesting to climb. When the plum blossoms are in full bloom, there are many tourists. ③Tianning Temple (free) Climbing the tower costs 50 yuan, and the Shuiyun annual card is free. The card is issued before December 31, 2024. There are many cultural relics in the tower, and you can also overlook Changzhou, with a good view. After leaving Tianning Temple, we walked for a while to A35 Red Box, a literary and artistic district suitable for taking photos. We had lunch at Changzhou Shopping Center. By chance, I saw a coupon for a noodle at Xiti Steakhouse. The pre-meal bread was provided and it was valid even if we didn't order any additional dishes. ④Take the subway from Cultural Palace Station to Citizen Square. Changzhou Art Museum has an exhibition of Liu Haisu’s works. It feels like a big place, but there are not many exhibitions. ⑤Changzhou Museum, walk 400 meters from the Citizen Square, the second floor is the Changzhou History and Culture Exhibition, the third floor is the Natural History Museum Exhibition, and the first floor is the special exhibition. ⑥Walk 900m from Changzhou Museum to Changzhou Grand Theater Station and take bus 302 to Dino Water Town, which is the town outside Changzhou Dinosaur Park. (Ticket price for the 120 Degrees East Tower is 50, and you need to swipe your card to enter. It is only open on weekends. It rotates and rises for 4-5 minutes. There is no feeling of weightlessness, and you can overlook the whole town and the park.) It looks great when the lights are turned on at 18:00. There is also an outlet and many places to eat, with reasonable prices. I didn't go to Global Harbor World Town because I didn't get a reservation. Now I have to make a reservation in advance and it is fully booked on weekends. I have been to Qingguo Lane before, but I didn't have enough time. 🚉Transportation strategy: Free transportation in Changzhou: You can apply for a free bus and subway code by uploading the front and back of your mainland China ID card and a screenshot of your ticket on the "Cultural and Tourism Changzhou" WeChat official account. The review time is 2 hours. You need to download the "Changzhou Metro" app to use the subway code, 12 times. It was my first half-hour application, and it’s still under review, so I paid for the subway myself and spent 2 yuan. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had to spend the 2 yuan subway fee. Summary: Changzhou is fun even without the Water Charm Annual Pass. Dongpo Garden, Hongmei Park, Tianning Temple, and Qingguo Lane are free, and you can spend a whole day at these attractions. There are many places to eat in the Civic Square, and there are many choices in the Global Harbor, and the night view is also nice.
