Things to do in Mingguang

I woke up at 4:30 a.m. to watch the sunrise at 6:10 a.m., and it was a magical experience. The sky was painted in a thousand different colours!I then explored Xihai Grand Canyon and took the funicular. The views were magnificent! From there, you can continue hiking to other peaks or head to the cable car to descend to the city.I spent a little more time wandering around, but as the day was sunny, huge crowds started pouring in. I decided to leave before it got too busy.An unforgettable morning!

This is a beautiful place, I visited with my family and would definitely recommend!

We went with our child, but because there was so much walking, our child wanted to leave after visiting two places and didn't want to play anymore. It felt like a purely artificial scenic area, and we didn't find it very fun. The Qinhuai River night cruise later on was much more enjoyable for our child.

A trip to Yangzhou's Slender West Lake is a must! 🍃 Stepping into the garden is like entering a flowing ink painting. The lake water is clear and winding, willows sway gently, the iconic Five Pavilion Bridge floats on the emerald waves, and the White Pagoda stands quietly. Every scenic spot reveals the ingenuity of the ancients. You can stroll slowly along the long causeway or take a boat trip on the lake. The breeze blowing across the lake carries the fragrance of grass and trees. The park is large, and a leisurely stroll is very therapeutic. There are places to rest, as well as a children's playground. It's suitable for taking photos or simply enjoying the scenery. The gentle elegance of Jiangnan is fully experienced here. ✨ A small suggestion: After entering the park, take a boat trip first, then visit the main attractions. It's best to enter and exit in one go to avoid backtracking. Otherwise, the large park will take a long time to explore.

Hongshan Zoo is built into the mountainside, surrounded by lush greenery. There are no animal shows here, and the animals seem relaxed, carefree, and happy. Strolling through it, you feel a gentle respect for life—it's truly therapeutic.

Nine verdant peaks, resembling lotus blossoms, are known as the Lotus Buddha Kingdom and the sacred site of Ksitigarbha's great vows. Clouds often linger around the rocky peaks, and morning mist blankets the layered steps. Ancient temples are built against the peaks, their yellow walls hidden among pines and bamboos. The sounds of bells and chimes drift on the wind, and clear streams gurgle over the rocks. At dawn, the sun paints the mountains with rosy hues, and at dusk, mist and haze merge with the peaks. Winding stone paths connect the temples, with the Hall of the Corpse, the Palace of the Hundred-Year-Old, and the Small Heavenly Terrace scattered among the mountains, where incense smoke and Zen tranquility blend harmoniously. This mountain, bearing the incense of a thousand years, is not only renowned for its scenery but also for its great vows that guide people. Upon ascending its slopes, worldly cares gradually fade away with the clouds.

We were very fortunate that our top guide today was Ms. Dong Ling. Her professional expertise was solid; she didn't just recite from memory. She eloquently explained the stories and archaeological backgrounds behind each of the museum's treasures, making dry history vivid and easy to understand. My son and I deeply experienced the thousand-year history of Nanjing. Highly recommended!

Yuantouzhu is absolutely stunning! The scenery is picturesque, the air is fresh, and a stroll through it is incredibly pleasant. The boat tour was a great experience, offering breathtaking views of Taihu Lake and providing plenty of entertainment. Five stars! Highly recommended!
