My favorite quiet town has arrived!


There aren't many places I'd like to visit three times! Yaohu is one of them!
This mountain town is close to Hangzhou, so you can eat, stay, and have fun all in one place, without having to move!
✔️ Jiangnan charm ✔️ Cyber ​​fireworks ✔️ Water sports ✔️ All-in-one water fun ✔️ Super relaxing!
Last weekend, my sister and I, along with our parents, took an impromptu "Laozi Tour." They were all talking about it! 😂 When I got back, I immediately shared my hottest travel guide with everyone. For anyone still wondering where to go during the National Day holiday, save this guide!
.
📍: Yaohu Town, Yangxian Ecological Tourism Resort, Yixing City, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province
🚗: About a 2-hour drive from Hangzhou
🚄: A 30-minute taxi ride from Yixing Station

Day 1: Cloud Train → Fish Scale Dam → Zizhai Valley → Crystal Blue Stream → Dragon Teng Water Show
Day 2: Yaohu Four Seasons Water Park → Water Sports → Dragon Furnace Street → Lake Pier → Blooming Flower Garden

🌿 [Zizhai Valley]
River Rafting, Paddleboarding, Camping, Relaxing and Daydreaming...

Weekend Performances and Water Gun Competitions 🔫
This is the ultimate relaxation!

💧 [Crystal Blue Stream]
Yixing's "Blue Danube River"!! The crystal-clear blue stream, the mountain bamboo forest, and the magnificent hot air balloons create a fairytale-like atmosphere.

🐟[Fish Scale Dam]
Natural oxygen bar🍃 and flowing water

Take a stroll in the water to cool off in the afternoon, and enjoy a watermelon drink in the evening...

Weekend music performance! Awesome!

🚤[Water Sports]
I never thought I'd ride a jet ski in Jiangnan!

My sister and I had so much fun! 😂

The "Rolls-Royce of Water" experience was the ultimate thrill.

Experience the speed and excitement of the mountains and water—cool and relaxing!

🚞[Little Train Above the Clouds]
Travel through bamboo forests and tea plantations and step into the Wizard of Oz world.

At night, the train transforms into a cyberpunk-style water and fireworks show!

Relaxing and romantic, I was able to ride the train three times to enjoy the breeze and the scenery!

🎆[Longteng Water and Fireworks Show]
Just like in Dubai! Water curtain + fireworks + city lights.
The dancing water and fire is truly breathtaking! Watching the live performance is simply breathtaking...
Su Shi's "Heavenly Palace" comes to life!

🏺 [Longyao Street]
An art district filled with "jars"~
All the shopkeepers are locals, selling black glutinous rice, coffee, and traditional popsicles...

Simple yet artistic, immerse yourself in the simple life of Zisha~

📷Photo Spots:
✔️Lakeside Pier: Arched bridge, Taihu Rock, pine trees, distant mountains, and Hui-style architecture. It's recommended to stay in town and come early in the morning for better light and fewer crowds.
✔️Zisha Pagoda: Rowboats glide across the crystal-clear waters, recreating an authentic Jiangnan riverside village on both sides~

⚠️Tip:
❶ Be sure to check the "Daily Performance Schedule" 👸 in advance!
❷ Bring two sets of clothes: a swimsuit/quick-dry shirt for swimming and a light-colored skirt for photography 📸
❸ Use a drone after dusk! You can capture the night view, fireworks, water shows, and fireworks parades all in one frame. It's a stunning sight!
