Not Western Sichuan!! It's Liyang, a super comprehensive two-day, one-night guide

Who knows, family! After posting on Moments, I was bombarded with questions about "which obscure route in Western Sichuan," but it turns out to be Liyang, Changzhou! Ten thousand acres of bamboo sea + stunning lake views + starry sky hot springs, 48 hours to fully relax, with a pitfall avoidance guide attached, hurry and save it✨ 📍Address Liyang, Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, the "back garden" of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, with core attractions concentrated in Tianmu Lake Town and Daibu Town, very convenient to drive between them. 🚗Transportation - Self-driving fans rejoice: 2.5 hours from Shanghai/Nanjing, 1.5 hours from Hangzhou, along the way the No.1 highway rainbow markings are great for photos, you can stop anytime by the roadside to buy a coffee and enjoy the view. - For those without a car: Take the high-speed train to "Liyang Station," then directly take a taxi for 30 yuan to Tianmu Lake Scenic Area, or take bus No. 25 (5 yuan), but be patient waiting for the bus. Key point: self-driving > taxi > bus. If you want to be lazy, go for the official shuttle bus, don’t trust unlicensed cars! 🌟Must-visit spots ✅ Nanshan Bamboo Sea: Lijiayuan Village, Daibu Town, ticket 90 yuan. Don’t force yourself to hike! The small train + ground cable car must be bought (combo ticket 120 yuan). The "round and chubby" panda at the mountaintop panda pavilion can cure all bad moods. Walking in the bamboo forest, even your breath becomes sweet. ✅ Tianmu Lake Landscape Park: No.1 Huanhu West Road, a 4.7-rated Jiangnan benchmark. Take a boat to Longxing Island, you can see little fish swimming by the boardwalk, and on Tea Island you can experience tea picking, photos look like walking into an ink painting. ✅ Yushui Hot Spring: No. 888 Lijiayuan Village, a fairy hot spring hidden in the bamboo sea. Best to go in the evening, soaking in the mountaintop starry sky pool watching the sunset, the traditional medicinal bath pool leaves your skin silky smooth, night tickets are more cost-effective. ✅ Liyang Museum: Free! The futuristic building is great for photos, wear light-colored clothes for a 100% chance of good shots, but remember it’s closed on Mondays so don’t go in vain. 🍜Food recommendations - Tianmu Lake Claypot Fish Head: A must-order at Tianmu Lake Hotel, the milky white broth is so fresh you’ll stomp your feet, the fish meat is tender and melts with a bite, pairs perfectly with rice for two bowls to show off. - Liyang Zhagan (Liver Dish): A local secret hard dish, pork liver and pork belly stewed together, rich in oily fragrance, perfect with beer. - Zhao’s Soup Dumplings: An old brand next to the market, freshly made and steamed, the broth is delicious and not sweet, worth waiting 10 minutes in line. - Wumi Rice: Fragrant and soft, sprinkle some sugar as dessert, refreshing and filling, you can buy a portion for 10 yuan at street stalls. 🏨Accommodation options - Luxury: Yushui Hot Spring · Zhuxigu Hotel, bamboo privacy villas with infinity pool, open the window to the bamboo sea, expensive but worth the price. - Cost-effective: City guesthouses under 200 yuan, very close to the night market, perfect for showing off barbecue and late-night snacks. - Family-friendly: Jiangu Wyndham Hotel, with alpacas and a dinosaur park, kids can play all day without clinging. ⚠️Pitfall avoidance tips 1. Don’t go to Nanshan Bamboo Sea in the afternoon! 35°C high temperature + crowded like a sauna, better to go in the morning to see the morning mist. 2. Apply mosquito repellent all over! The "little bites" in the bamboo forest are fierce, the itching after being bitten makes you question life. 3. Don’t go to the hot springs on weekends! It’s so crowded it’s like dumplings dropping into water, weekdays are best to enjoy the bamboo sea hot pools alone. 4. Don’t trust roadside "free shuttle buses"! They all take you to shopping places.
