Changzhou's First Garden | Hongmei Park, open 24 hours for free

Attracted by the check-in point of Wenbi Tower and Wensi Bridge, I discovered that Hongmei Park is full of the local flavor of old Changzhou. Pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, red plums defying the snow, and lush green trees... Named after Hongmei Pavilion, Hongmei Park was established during the reign of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang, over 1100 years ago. In the park, locals often come to stroll, drink tea, listen to music, and practice martial arts! 📍Address: No. 28 Danqing Road, Changzhou 🚇Transportation: Hongmei Park Station, Metro Line 2 🎫Tickets: Free ⏱Opening hours: All day ⏰️Duration: 2 hours 🌈Highlights of Hongmei Park 1️⃣The park is named after Hongmei Pavilion, which has a history of over a thousand years.
