Departing from Wuxi for 1h, come to Tongguanshan for creek tracing and hiking on weekends!

📍The Jiangnan area is not only known for the gentle beauty of its water towns but also for its hidden mountainous sanctuaries. Tongguanshan in Yixing is such a green oxygen bar that makes people linger. Located in the southwestern part of Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, about 50 kilometers from the downtown area of Wuxi, it is a rare natural treasure in the Yangtze River Delta region. 🏞️【Must-Visit Attractions】 The essence of Tongguanshan lies in its primitive forests and clear streams. Stepping into the mountains is like entering a natural oxygen bar, where every breath is filled with negative ions. Here are a few recommended spots: - Tongguanshan Main Peak: Climbing to the top allows you to overlook the entirety of Yixing and gaze at the scenery of Taihu Lake. - Dragon Pool: A hidden emerald lake nestled in the deep mountains, like a piece of jade set amongst the hills. - Waterfall Group: A series of multi-level waterfalls formed along the stream, each one a vivid landscape painting. 🚗【Transportation Tips】 Self-driving: Depart from Wuxi, take the G25 Changshen Expressway to the Yixing exit, then switch to the S342 provincial road, the whole journey takes about 1 hour. Bus: Take a long-distance bus from Wuxi Bus Station to Yixing, and then transfer to a local bus or taxi to Tongguanshan Scenic Area, the whole journey takes about 2 hours. 🌟【Nearby Attractions】 In addition to exploring Tongguanshan, nearby attractions such as the Bamboo Sea, Shanjv Cave, and the Purple Sand Museum are also worth visiting. - Bamboo Sea: Not far from Tongguanshan, it is a vast world of bamboo forests, suitable for walking and enjoying the tranquility of nature. - Shanjv Cave: One of the four famous caves in China, the cave wonders are breathtaking. - Purple Sand Museum: Learn about the history and culture of Yixing purple sand pottery and experience the fun of pot-making firsthand. 🏨【Accommodation Recommendations】 - Yixing Bamboo Sea Hot Spring Resort: Located within the Bamboo Sea scenic area, enjoy hot springs while admiring the beauty of the bamboo forest. - Yixing Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel: Located in the city center, with complete facilities and convenient transportation. ❗【Precautions】 - Protect the environment, do not litter, and take care of nature. - Wear comfortable sports shoes for the tour, as some sections of the path are rugged. - There are many mosquitoes in summer, remember to bring mosquito repellent. - Pay attention to weather changes and dress appropriately.
