Help! I think I've found the hidden treasure town of Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai—Changzhou!

Three days and two nights of immersive city walking, unlocking a super healing new way to experience Jiangnan, with every frame ready to be posted directly on your social feed📸 🌆【DAY 1: Stroll through the old town, encounter a thousand years of elegance】 The morning sun shines on the red walls of Tianning Temple, where green tiles and thousand-year-old ginkgo trees weave a stunning play of light and shadow🌳! Be sure to buy a creative cultural ice cream and take an artistic photo with the magnificent pagoda~ When hungry, head straight to the locally recommended Yinsi Noodle Shop (Maxiang branch), where the silky noodles paired with sweet net oil rolls are soul-satisfying🍜! In the afternoon, wander to Hongmei Park, where Su-style gardens and a modern light art museum collide wonderfully. Standing on Bayong Bridge to capture the water reflections, the atmosphere is instantly elevated! At dusk, explore the 14-story Banshan Bookstore, where the sunset light filters through the floor-to-ceiling windows like a soft-focus filter, and enjoy a cozy time in the magical book wall café☕️ 🌲【DAY 2: Head to the lakes and mountains, enter a fairy tale secret realm】 Wake up and head straight to Taihu Bay Camping Valley, as if stepping into a Swiss fairy tale forest🌲! Hobbit houses, starry lawns, glass plank paths... Rent a Hanfu and effortlessly shoot a martial arts blockbuster! For lunch, feast on Taihu’s "Three Whites" at Yujia Denghuo, so fresh it’ll make your eyebrows fall off🦐! In the afternoon, visit Gehu Low Carbon Park, instantly entering a summer scene from a Miyazaki manga, with pure white windmills and lakeside reeds perfect for photos📷! At night, check in at Mancang (Sanjing Industrial Park branch), an old factory transformed into an Instagram-worthy space full of style, where the red wine pear roast duck pizza is a must-try🍕! 🏮【DAY 3: Seek dreams in the alleys, feel the artistic slow pace】 Qingguo Alley is truly amazing! More serene and artistic than Pingjiang Road, the white walls and bamboo shadows of Zhou Youguang’s former residence look great in any photo~ For lunch, enjoy exquisite Song-style Jiangnan cuisine at Tangyan (Qingguo Alley branch), a feast for both taste and sight🥢! In the afternoon, head to Culture Square, where futuristic buildings look like an alien spaceship base🛸, and the light and shadow corridor on the basement level makes it easy to shoot sci-fi blockbusters! ⚠️Super practical tips to avoid pitfalls: 1️⃣ Changzhou’s subway is super convenient, and taxi starting fares are very friendly🚇 2️⃣ For panoramic shots of Tianning Temple, the Kaixin Building opposite is the perfect spot 3️⃣ Visit Qingguo Alley early in the morning to perfectly avoid tourist crowds 4️⃣ The local milk tea "Bianjing Tea House" beats all the trendy shops—definitely try it! 🛏️Accommodation recommendations: Art lovers should blindly choose the secluded inns in Qingguo Alley to feel the ancient Jiangnan charm; design lovers should go for the Intercontinental Culture Square sky-high rooms to overlook the city’s beauty~ Changzhou is like a film kissed by time, with the ripples of the canal as its romantic language and the mottled pink walls of Qingguo Alley as a natural filter🎞️. Keep this local’s secret travel map safe, and in the early morning before tourists arrive, go touch the truest gentleness of Jiangnan~
