Zhejiang Jiaxing has been the rich land of Jiangnan since ancient times. The city is located between Shanghai and Hangzhou. A South Lake is famous throughout the country for the convening of a major conference of the Chinese Communist Party. In fact, Nanhu was famous for a long time before the CCP was held. The lake and Hangzhou West Lake and Nanjing Xuanwu Lake are also known as the three famous lakes in the south of the Yangtze River. The area of
South Lake is about 600 mu, which is much smaller than that of West Lake and Xuanwu Lake. The area of West Lake is about 10,000 mu. Nanhu was recorded in the Three Kingdoms period. The beautiful scenery of the Yanyu Building on the island is a classical Jiangnan garden.
Yanyulou got the name of the building because of the poetry of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu, "The Southern Dynasties 480 Temple, how many buildings are in the rain." It was built in the Jin Dynasty (936-947) after the Five Dynasties and was later destroyed. The existing Yanyu Building was rebuilt in the Jiajing Period of Ming Dynasty.
Qianlong Emperor prefers the Yanyu Building, six down the south of the Yangtze River, and eight times on the Yanyu Building, leaving more than 20 poems. The
Nanhu Scenic Area is free to open, but you can go to the Yanyu Building and several other attractions to purchase tickets separately. The boat is the only way to go to the Yanyu Building. The plaque of the Yanyu Building is inscribed by Dong Biwu.
Antique Jiangnan famous building, elegant and elegant, Yanyu Building also appeared in Jin Yong's martial arts novels. Jin Yong is a Haining person in Jiaxing. He must be familiar with Yan Yu Lou. The "Heading Heroes of Shooting" has repeatedly mentioned the rain. The building, Jiangnan seven strange and Qiu Chuji fight in the Yanyu Building, full of rivers and lakes.

Jiaxing South Lake: My misty rain, your world.
Transportation:
Take bus 36/81/90/92 to Nanhu Scenic Area (Huijing Garden).
Take tram line 1 from Jiaxing Station to Fangong Road Nanxi West Road Station.
Tips:
Nanhu Scenic Area and Nanhu Tiandi are considered a whole, each with a pier.
The Huijing Garden Pier in Nanhu Scenic Area costs CNY 20 to go to the island in the center of the lake, and CNY 60 for a lake tour and the island. The lake tour is not necessary, as it just goes around the inner lake.
The pier in Nanhu Tiandi only has CNY 60 tickets, and the CNY 20 tickets here are for the Yuehe Historical Street.
The main attractions in Nanhu Scenic Area are the Yanyu Tower and the Red Boat of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China on the island in the center of the lake. Nanhu Tiandi is mainly a large commercial complex combined with modern fashion, with many check-in spots and the Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial Hall.
Yanyu Tower was built in the Five Dynasties, and the name of Yanyu Tower is said to come from Du Mu's poem "480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many towers in the misty rain." Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited Jiangnan six times and climbed Yanyu Tower eight times, which shows that the scenery of Yanyu Tower has been integrated with the lake and mountains. In such an autumn, when you climb the tower and look into the distance, you can only sigh, "The autumn mood rises in the misty rain, and the most beautiful is the Yanyu Tower in Jiangnan."
Nanhu Tiandi is considered a new landmark in Jiaxing. Whether it is the photo wall with a sense of the times, the Yanhulv Hotel with red bricks and blue tiles in the style of the Republic of China, or the commercial area rebuilt from old factories, every place shows the designer's ingenuity, as if the old times have crashed into the arms of the new world, achieving each other's past and future.
In the season when the autumn wind is getting colder and the apricot leaves are turning yellow, go to South Lake to find your own Jiangnan.

A day trip from Shanghai to Jiaxing.
I originally planned to hike the Tanxianling Ancient Trail in Jiaxing, but it has been raining on and off for the past few days. Sigh! The rain makes hiking the ancient trail more dangerous! I bought round-trip train tickets five days ago, so I decided not to refund them. Instead of hiking the ancient trail, I decided to take a walk around Jiaxing City!
This is the itinerary for my day trip from Shanghai to Jiaxing (November 16, 2024):
High-speed train G2365 (07:28–07:46) from Shanghai Songjiang to Jiaxing South (18 minutes).
After arriving at Jiaxing South Station, I took the tram to Fanggong Road and Nanxi West Road (Nanhu Lake Shore), took a boat to the island in the middle of Nanhu Lake, and visited the island. I visited the Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial Hall, took a ride-hailing car to Wuxiang Temple, visited the Xiexijie Fresh Shaomai No. 2 Store, Shen Junru's Former Residence, Meiwang Historical and Cultural Block, Zhufu Historical Data Exhibition Room, and Kim Gu's Refuge. I took a taxi to Jiaxing Catholic Church, Jiaxing Zicheng Ruins Park, and Yuehe Historical Block. I had dinner at Lugaojian Restaurant (Yuehe Historical Block Branch), visited the Jiaxing Zongzi Culture Museum, and strolled around Luxihui.
I took a taxi to Jiaxing Station and took a train back to Shanghai.
Train C412 (19:11–20:10) from Jiaxing to Shanghai South (59 minutes).
