ANASTASIA RHODES

Early winter in Changzhou | It's still the best place to enjoy autumn

Changzhou, also known as Dragon City, doesn't seem to have a high presence in Jiangsu Province, a major tourist province. However, when you really get close to Changzhou, you will find the unique charm of this city. Here you can find the China Dinosaur Park, a tourist body that combines food, scenery, and amusement facilities, as well as the Tian Ning Zen Temple with a history of thousands of years, which witnesses the historical changes of Changzhou. There is also Dongpo Park, a place where Su Dongpo has set foot more than ten times. 1. Changzhou China Dinosaur Park The world's largest dinosaur theme park, with both parent-child play projects and passionate heartbeat projects. The Dinosaur Park is very large and is divided into Magic Rainforest, Dream Manor (recommended for little babies around 5 years old), Jurassic Water World (another park, buy tickets separately), Crazy Dinosaur Man, Brula, Cooksuk and China Dinosaur Museum, etc. Adult ticket 216, it is recommended to buy it one day in advance, and there are relatively fewer people in the morning. Friends who like fewer people are recommended to play in the morning. 2. Dongpo Park Dongpo Park covers the four wonders of garden artistic conception, mountain and forest landform, canal scenery, and historical sites, blending the essence of Dongpo relics, royal style, canal culture, and the rise and fall of Buddhism. It is a unique example of classical gardens in the south of the Yangtze River with a long history, clear theme, numerous cultural relics, beautiful ecology, and unique style on the ancient canal of a thousand years. Today's Dongpo Park has become a part of Changzhou's historical and cultural corridor. Walking in Dongpo Park, shaded by green trees, there are ancient stone bridges from the Qing Dynasty and Dongpo ancient ferry next to Dongpo Park. Walking in Dongpo Park, I can't help but think of the various histories of Su Dongpo and Changzhou. Mr. Dongpo left 66 poems, 10 lyrics, and 103 essays related to Changzhou in his life. This is a precious spiritual wealth he gave to Changzhou, which has had a profound impact on the cultural development of Changzhou in the future and promoted the prosperity of Changzhou's humanities in the following generations. 3. Tian Ning Zen Temple Tian Ning Zen Temple was built during the Tang Dynasty's Zhen Guan and Yong Hui years and has a history of more than 1350 years. It is the largest and best-preserved ancient temple in Changzhou. Tian Ning Zen Temple is known as the 'first forest in the southeast' for its 'majestic and spectacular buildings, tall and solemn Buddha statues, famous monks from all generations, and famous Dharma meetings'. In the early winter of Tian Ning Zen Temple, there are very few people in the morning, and there are ginkgo and other trees that have just turned yellow, which are very suitable for taking pictures. If you haven't seen enough of autumn, you must go to Tian Ning Zen Temple, it's really a great place to take pictures. 4. Jiaoxi Ancient Town Jiaoxi Ancient Town has a deep accumulation and a history of more than 700 years. It is a natural painting of the water town and is the best-preserved ancient town in Changzhou. It is also the only ancient town in Changzhou that has the dual titles of 'China's Historical and Cultural Village and China's Traditional Village'. Approaching Jiaoxi Ancient Town, a small stream passes through the village, especially in the evening sunset, it looks even more beautiful. Adjacent to the Grand Canal, it has created a different canal culture and history. The years have passed, leaving more cultural and civilized history, waiting for tourists to visit and comprehend.
