Li Yang, a hidden gem in Jiangsu, is severely underrated

After all, you should take a trip to Liyang, to embark on a secret and refreshing journey amidst the mountains and forests. Witness the ripples created by the gentle breeze in the vast bamboo sea, and set sail on a small bamboo raft on the tranquil lake formed by mountain streams and natural rain, as if you've stepped into a natural ink painting.

Day1: Liyang Museum, Fei Bao'en Zen Temple, Tianmu Lake Fangsuo Cultural Village, Tianmu Lake Shitang No. 37 Starry Sky Swimming Pool

Day2: Walden Bookstore Coffee, Liyang No. 1 Road Coffee, Nanshan Bamboo Sea Coffee, Return Trip

➊ Nanshan Bamboo Sea.
Take a small train through the vast bamboo sea, as if you've traveled into a Hayao Miyazaki movie. The area is vast and you can also see animals like giant pandas and flamingos.

❷ Tianmu Lake
Who would have thought! Liyang actually has two 5A-rated attractions, and one of them, Tianmu Lake, is like a blue gemstone left by God, with water quality that rivals the Maldives.

❸ Liyang Museum
From the outside, it looks like an alien spaceship. Here you can learn about the past and present of Liyang, and the exhibition hall also has a rich collection of items, such as bronze and porcelain, calligraphy, and stone tools.

❹ Fangsuo Cultural Village
A Chinese village built with culture as the concept, it is the perfect combination of modern and traditional, showcasing the unique aesthetics of the Jiangnan water towns. The blue lights are super photogenic.

❺ Bao'en Zen Temple
It's crazy! It's really not Southeast Asia! The entire temple is in Southeast Asian style, splendid and magnificent.

The meals I had in Liyang were all chosen at Mutang Summer next to the homestay, with very fresh ingredients and a super enthusiastic owner! Recommended: black tofu, crispy duck head, golden pork trotters.

The attractions in Liyang are a bit scattered. When planning the trip, I accidentally discovered that the Liyang Culture and Tourism official WeChat account 'Sometimes Liyang' is very convenient and useful for checking routes, booking visits, and even reserving hotels and homestays at a discount. Hurry and bring your favorite person to Liyang~
