Anonymous userI've visited many gardens. The Summer Palace, the Old Summer Palace, the Yonghe Garden. The Ge Garden, the He Garden. The Humble Administrator's Garden's current status, I think, is probably due to its cultural confidence; it's a culmination of cultural achievements. The others are probably just comparisons.

M86***45The trip to Niushou Mountain was impromptu and not part of my plan. I was deeply moved and felt it was definitely worth the visit. Unfortunately, I didn't see any relics. I'll definitely go again next time.

E42***99Yangzhou is even more beautiful in March, with its vibrant flowers and verdant willows! Enter from the South Gate and exit from the North Gate. It was a bit chilly today, with a cooler temperature; the sun was shining, but there was a breeze. After walking for a while, we took a boat directly to the North Gate. The scenery from the boat was also quite nice. For the whole loop, it's probably best to enter from the West Gate and exit from the East Gate, as the main attractions are oriented east-west. If you have the time and energy, hiring a guide is highly recommended.
44.7/5M50***70Hongshan Zoo: A Healing Journey to Reconcile with Nature In this fast-paced urban life, Hongshan Zoo is like a carefully nurtured oasis, providing a rare haven for weary souls. It's more than just a simple visit; it's a profound dialogue about life, respect, and coexistence, inspiring a deeper reverence and love for nature. Upon entering the park, one is immediately struck by its "human-centered, animal-first" design philosophy. Unlike the fenced layout of traditional zoos, Hongshan Zoo cleverly utilizes the terrain to create a near-natural habitat for the animals. Whether it's the giant pandas leisurely basking in the depths of a dense bamboo forest or the African lions running freely in a simulated grassland environment, every detail reveals a deep concern for animal welfare. This "immersive" viewing experience makes one feel as if they are in a vivid nature documentary, experiencing the most primal charm of life. Particularly noteworthy is Hongshan Zoo's efforts in animal conservation and education. The park features multiple science education exhibition areas, conveying rich ecological knowledge to visitors through illustrated panels, interactive installations, and regular animal behavior explanations. Children can not only observe various rare animals up close but also learn the importance of protecting biodiversity, planting seeds of love for nature in their hearts from a young age. Furthermore, Hongshan Zoo's innovative practices in animal welfare are truly admirable. From providing a wide variety of enrichment toys to implementing scientific feeding and management programs, every detail reflects meticulous consideration of the animals' psychological and physiological needs. Seeing animals that were injured or rescued in the wild regain their health and vitality here evokes a warm feeling, a sense of awe at the tenacity and miracle of life. Of course, the beauty of Hongshan Zoo lies not only in its animals but also in its beautiful natural scenery and humanized service facilities. Strolling along tree-lined paths, breathing in the fresh air, and listening to the distant birdsong provides an unprecedented sense of relaxation. The well-equipped rest areas, clean restrooms, and thoughtful guided tours make the entire visit more comfortable and convenient. What's most moving is that Hongshan Zoo is more than just a place to exhibit animals; it's a platform advocating for harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Through its actions, it tells us that every life deserves respect, and every piece of nature deserves to be cherished. Here, we not only witness the cuteness and wisdom of animals, but also humanity's responsibility and commitment to nature. In short, Hongshan Zoo is a spiritual cleansing, a healing journey of reconciliation with nature. It allows us to find a moment of tranquility in our busy lives and gives us a deeper understanding and love for the world. If you're also looking for a place where your mind can relax and your horizons can broaden, then Hongshan Zoo is undoubtedly your best choice.

cindy炎To be honest, this attraction isn't very large in terms of area. But though small, it has everything you need. It's very clean, and there are quite a few activities to participate in. This place is best enjoyed at a leisurely pace. The vegetarian noodles at the temple are delicious, and the prices are reasonable. I was lucky enough to encounter a master giving away calligraphy. It was drizzling, and I chatted with the people around me while waiting in line, thinking about what kind of calligraphy I wanted. It was a very rewarding experience.
64.6/5Anonymous userMy family, who understands?! December was chilly, and I just wanted to find somewhere to relax, but I ended up completely immersed in the winter wonderland of Yuantouzhu. The moment I stepped into the scenic area, the crisp, cool air captivated me. Taihu Lake, caressed by the cold air, shimmered and sparkled, as if hiding many little secrets. The distant mountains were gently shrouded in mist, like a half-unfurled ink painting, so beautiful I didn't want to blink. I strolled slowly along the lakeside, the cold wind whistling, but it couldn't dispel the warmth in my heart. There weren't many people here; I didn't have to squeeze around, and I could quietly enjoy the tranquility. When I got hungry, I went to Guangfu Temple for a bowl of vegetarian noodles. Steaming hot, one bite and I felt completely revitalized. The staff were also incredibly attentive, answering all my questions, which warmed my heart. I absolutely loved this trip to Yuantouzhu!
74.6/5Anonymous userSome interesting attractions were cancelled, as were the nighttime attractions; the park closes at 5 PM, and this wasn't mentioned when purchasing tickets. The rides are just so-so, typical of all theme parks, nothing special. I won't be coming back.

M55***73🌟Overall Impression This trip to Tiger Hill truly exceeded my expectations! The park environment is fantastic, the ancient architecture is remarkably well-preserved, and every step reveals a charming scene. Strolling along the stone paths, listening to the birdsong and the faint sounds of Suzhou storytelling, I felt completely at peace. It's perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway 😌 ✨Must-Visit Highlights 1. Tiger Hill Pagoda: Seeing this leaning pagoda in person is truly breathtaking. It's incredibly photogenic; every shot looks like a masterpiece of ancient Chinese style! 2. Sword Pool: The pool water is crystal clear and emerald green, surrounded by steep stone walls.

逛吃逛吃哒哒哒To capture the tranquil, picturesque Jiangnan landscape of Lingering Garden, it's recommended to arrive before it opens in the morning; we arrived before 7:30. After queuing for a few minutes, we were among the first visitors to enter. As expected of one of China's four most famous gardens, I highly recommend learning about Lingering Garden's history and the best photo spots before your visit.
