Shanghai to Liyang Independent Travel by Public Transport

Depart from Shanghai Long-Distance Bus Terminal in the morning by coach, with a ticket price of 89 yuan and a journey of 4 hours to reach Liyang Bus Terminal. Hotels can be chosen within the Tianmu Lake scenic area, which is convenient for visiting both Tianmu Lake and Nanshan Zhuhai. After arriving on the first day, you can go to the Liyang Museum to check in, which is free but requires a reservation on the platform. The unique exterior allows you to understand the history of Liyang's development. In the evening, you can choose to walk to Wanda Plaza for dinner, and then return to the hotel for a good rest. The next morning, set off for Nanshan Zhuhai. There is public transport directly to the destination, but it takes a long time, about an hour. It is recommended to take a taxi, which can save half the time, with the cost between 45-50 yuan. Purchase the tickets on Ctrip one day in advance, which is cheaper than buying at the scenic area. Upon entering the scenic area, you can take a small train to the cable car station or walk there, which generally takes about half an hour. Along the way, there is a small bird pavilion to visit, with scheduled performances every day. The scenic area is divided into two separate attractions. One is to take the cable car to reach the first peak of Wu Yue, and if you have the stamina, you can also hike up the mountain. This is also the junction of three provinces, where you can enjoy the panoramic view of Nanshan Zhuhai. The other is to take the popular ground rail to reach Jiming Village, visit the Bamboo Culture Museum and the Panda Pavilion. It is recommended to buy a joint ticket for 150 yuan. The whole tour is expected to take about five hours. For the return trip, you can take the No. 72 bus directly to Tianmu Lake scenic area at the entrance of the scenic area. If you have the time and energy, you can visit the Baoyan Zen Temple, which has a very strong Thai-style architecture. In the evening, you must have a Tianmu Lake specialty fish head pot, and then enjoy the Hantian hot springs to relieve the fatigue of the day, and have a good sleep. On the third day, sleep until you wake up naturally, you can stroll along Tianmu Lake, and after lunch, you can start your return trip. It is recommended to take the 11:40 coach, which is expected to arrive in Shanghai at 3:30 pm, to avoid the evening rush hour.
