Yancheng, Jiangsu | Dazong Lake Tourist Resort in Yandu District | Travel Guide

Dazong Lake Tourist Resort in Yancheng consists of two interconnected scenic areas: 【Dazong Lake】 and 【Dongjin Water Town】, collectively known as Dazong Lake Tourist Resort 🖼️. 【Dazong Lake】 features more natural scenery, while 【Dongjin Water Town】 is a replica ancient street. Visiting both allows you to experience two distinct styles ✔️.

Transportation 🚌: The location is quite remote. I drove there, but I noticed a bus stop right outside the Dongjin Water Town Visitor Center called "Beisong" – it was so amusing that I remembered it.

Accommodation 🏠: There are two hotels inside the resort, and more hotels are available nearby outside the scenic area.

Parking 🅿️: Free (possibly limited to the Qingming Festival holiday ⚠️).

Charging Stations ⛽: ① A row of charging stations is located near the wall by the visitor center in Dongjin Water Town's parking lot. ② Two rows are available in the parking lot in front of a hotel outside the North Gate of Dazong Lake.

Tickets 🎫: 60 RMB/person (discounts available for online bookings, and the "Charm of Jiangsu" annual pass is valid 🎟️).

Scenic Area Shuttle 🛺: 20 RMB/person. There are two types of vehicles, with the enclosed one being more spacious and comfortable. The shuttle makes a large loop and a small loop, and passengers can hop on and off with a wristband.

Personal Experience 🤹‍♂️: Exploring both areas thoroughly can be quite tiring, so I recommend the shuttle for those who prefer to save time and energy. However, the shuttle isn't very punctual, and catching one depends on luck. 🔷 Dazong Lake feels like a countryside park. 🔶 Dongjin Water Town is a replica ancient street with shops selling common items like milk tea and snacks—nothing particularly unique. Recently, the flowers have been blooming beautifully, complementing the small bridges, green water, and white walls nicely. Even during the holiday, it wasn't crowded, making it a pleasant place to stroll.
