I declare! Yixing is the most underrated treasure city I've visited this year.|||Traveling in the opposite direction during the National Day holiday to avoid the crowds
I recommend Yixing, a short self-driving trip from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai
This is also the second hometown of Su Dongpo
This small city has many surprises, with few people and beautiful scenery!
I recommend a few niche attractions to easily avoid the crowds
[Niche attraction check-in route] 📍
1️⃣st stop 🚏 (Little Great Wall P1-3
▪️I came to the Little Great Wall of Dachao Mountain. If you can't go to the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing, come to the Little Great Wall of Yixing. From a distance, it looks like a winding dragon.
2️⃣nd stop 🚏 (Chashan Shiye P4-6
▪️A cafe with a tea mountain viewing platform, perfect for relaxing, drinking coffee, and looking at the tea garden terraces in the distance, feeling a long-lost sense of relaxation.
3️⃣rd stop 🚏 (Dajue Temple P7-9
▪️Yixing's Dajue Temple is known as the "Little Potala Palace in Jiangnan". The progressive architecture is very impressive, with a history of more than 700 years. It is also the ancestral temple of Master Hsing Yun.
4️⃣th stop 🚏 (Longchi Mountain Bicycle Park P10-12
▪️As the name suggests, this is a great place for cycling and is also the filming location of "Please Advise Me for the Rest of My Life" starring Xiao Zhan and Yang Zi. It also has tea gardens, mountains, and bamboo sea reservoirs, which are great for taking photos.
5️⃣th stop 🚏 (Youche Reservoir P13-14
▪️This place is really niche, but the scenery is charming. The viewing platform on the reservoir is great for taking photos. The mountains in the distance look like they are suspended in the air, with no commercial atmosphere.
6️⃣th stop 🚏 (Yixiantian Scenic Area P15-16
▪️Compared to Yixing Bamboo Sea, there are fewer people here, with less commercial atmosphere and good air quality. There is a stream along the way, and there is a Yixiantian above, which is great for taking photos, attracting many people to check in and take photos.
7️⃣th stop 🚏 (Jiangzuo Phoenix Homestay P17-18
▪️As for accommodation, we stayed at Jiangzuo Phoenix Homestay at night. The homestay is surrounded by a bamboo sea, and you can see the starry sky when you look up. It also has a viewing platform leading to the deep sea of the bamboo sea. I really love this viewing platform. Drinking tea here is very artistic, and the environment and design of the homestay are also great.
🔖If you don't know where to go during the National Day holiday and are afraid of crowds, come to Yixing for a visit!
