 The stunning stone dam you can't miss in Liyang! Pingqiao Stone Dam is truly, truly, truly photogenic! 📸
This, Asia's largest masonry arch dam, is located on Pingheng Road in Liyang City. Promise me you'll add it to your itinerary! Especially during the high-water season from June to September, the spectacular sight of the entire dam surrounded by waterfalls will definitely amaze you! 🏞️
🕰️ Opening hours: 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM year-round
📍 Specific address: Pingheng Road, Liyang City, Changzhou, Jiangsu Province
Strolling around the stone dam, you'll see clear streams flowing over strangely shaped rocks, with lush vegetation all around. The entire environment is particularly tranquil and natural. During the high-water season, waterfalls cascade down, forming beautiful rainbows under the sunlight! 🌈
Photography tips:
1. It's recommended to arrive at 8:30 AM when the park opens; there are fewer people and the lighting is good.
2. Bring a tripod to capture beautiful long-exposure waterfall shots.
3. Cloudy days also offer a unique ambiance (personally tested, the photo success rate on overcast/rainy days is also very high).
4. Make sure to take close-up shots of the dam body; it's incredibly stunning.
There are also many farmhouses nearby. If you're tired from playing, you can try local dishes. Recommended: wild mushroom stewed chicken and Liyang white celery~
