Yushan park is undoubtedly one of the most attractive places in Changshu. You can visit there with family and spend a good time. This park is very big. I have covered very little of its attarctions. The reflection of the bridge on the lake is so beautiful. You can enjoy the surrounding beautiful scenario while walking on the wooden walking path by the lake. There is a zoo within walking distance. The park is well maintained. You can also take the park bus service to have a glimpse of the main sites of entire park. If you come with enough time then you can go to the Yushan mountain and Shanghu Lake which is nearby and the other tourist attraction sites in Changshu.

Jinjiang Inn | Magnolia Changshu Yushan Scenic Area!!
| Magnolia Changshu Yushan Scenic Area!! This was my first time visiting Changshu, and I wanted to stay somewhere close to Yushan Park, Fangta Park, and Fangta Street, so I chose the Magnolia Hotel at the foot of Yushan Mountain.
Location and Surroundings
Location: The hotel is 9–10 km from Changshu Railway Station, about a 30-minute taxi ride. The hotel is right at the entrance of Yushan Park, and you can see the park's fountain (open at night) across the street. The hotel is 2–3 km from Fangta Pedestrian Street by taxi, or you can walk through the alleys of the ancient town to Fangta Park.
Surroundings: There is a slightly deserted shopping street nearby, with a Starbucks that doesn't seem to have many customers. There are no convenience stores nearby, so it's not very convenient to buy food. Yushan Park is just across the street, with beautiful scenery during the day and a lively atmosphere at night. To the east of the hotel is an ancient town area, which is nice to walk around during the day.
Hotel
Price: I stayed during the National Day holiday, and the price was CNY 292.5 per night for a 16–18 m² Elegant Double Room with a 1.65 m bed and a window.
Public Areas: The hotel is a standalone building with guest rooms on floors 1–3. There is a free tea bar on the first floor, one elevator, a laundry room with one washing machine and one dryer, and parking is mainly at the entrance, which may be inconvenient for pedestrians.
Room Amenities: Two bottles of Nongfu Spring water, a small TV with cable, a desk, a chair, a small sofa, and a wall lamp.

December steps into the oil painting of Changshu | Yushan Park, where God's palette is overturned
💁🏻♀️
You say,
Is such Changshu beautiful?
Take a walk in Yushan Park,
As if falling into an oil painting,
Unintentionally, you become,
The beauty in the painting.
In the evening, I exported this set from the camera,
The freshly shot Yushan Park in the afternoon.
To be honest,
I was fascinated,
The place where I lived for twenty years,
I can responsibly say,
This is a small beautiful city that I can't get enough of.

I say the early winter of Yushan Park,
Beautiful like an oil painting,
Thousands of different varieties of red maple,
Overnight dyed the most beautiful colors,
Red, yellow, orange, and green are interspersed,
I really thought it was God painting here,
Accidentally overturned the palette,
Leaving beauty in the world.
🍁
Lake Pavilion,
Is always the iconic spot of Yushan Park.
The antique hexagonal pavilion,
Standing in the middle of the clear pool,
The red maple around the pool is gorgeous and varied,
Tourists stop to enjoy the view on the winding bridge,
Under the bridge are colorful little boats gently swaying on the pool,
Looking up is the five-color Yushan,
Looking down is a pool of clear water,
Beauty,
It's that simple.
🍂
Passing through the Lake Pavilion,
Walking along the colorful maple forest stone path,
The fresh air,
The sun shines through the tree cracks and sprinkles a ground of broken gold,
Leaves all over the ground,
The path twists and turns forward,
Beauty is really beautiful.
💃
Yushan Park is not small,
Built by the mountain,
Pavilions, towers and pavilions are scattered,
There are many small scenes,
The mountain spring is rushing.
There are both tea houses and noodle shops here,
When you're tired,
Order a cup of clear tea and sit under the maple tree to enjoy the maple,
Listen to the wind whispering in your ears,
Feel the early winter of the small city of Changshu.
