The West City Pavilions were built during the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. After 1,500 years, they formed a large building complex by the end of the Qing Dynasty, but were later destroyed by war. The West City Pavilion is a garden rebuilt on the original site, with a total length of more than 1,200 meters, which is very suitable for climbing and looking far!
During this Mid-Autumn Festival, you can visit the West City Pavilion at night and see many Song Dynasty themed performances, such as "Bodhisattva Man", "Ru Meng Ling", outdoor open-air movies, NPC interactions, sword dances under the moon, markets, etc.
You can also participate in the "Yu Jian Song Chao" Mid-Autumn Festival sharing event to witness the prosperity of Yucheng's Song Dynasty style and light up the Mid-Autumn Festival night in Yucheng (you will have a chance to get tickets to the Yushan City Wall Night Garden)

If you have enough time, you can also visit Fangta Garden, a classical garden with a history of 850 years!
