A place with few people and beautiful scenery, a journey to a paradise on earth

LiYang is very close to Nanjing, and I spent two days there with my mom over the weekend. The timing was just right, suitable for a leisurely vacation, and pet-friendly too 🐶 Apart from the Nanshan Bamboo Sea, other places were not crowded. To avoid the summer holiday crowds, follow my guide, and actually, the Nanshan Bamboo Sea wasn't that busy either, haha There are many spots along the way where you can wade in the stream, remember to bring slippers and a towel · Day1️⃣: Along Highway No. 1 Departing from Nanjing on the first day, we took Highway No. 1. Along the road, there were small scenic spots and stations where we could stop and go without any entrance or parking fees. It's recommended to bring some food for lunch 🍞 The journey was filled with green mountains and clear waters, and winding rainbow roads, which I really liked My route in approximate order: 🎈Miluo Ba Observation Deck (the station offers simple meals) 🎈Highway Coffee (nearby observation deck with a view of the Goddess Lake) 🎈The Most Beautiful Sky Road (undulating slope road, very photogenic) 🎈The Routine of Love (the bamboo forest is also nice) 🎈Heart of the Goddess (has treehouses, stream tracing after rain, and a large table in the forest for picnicking, plus charging stations haha) 🎈Pingqiao Stone Dam (stream tracing possible, enter through the pedestrian entrance, there's a long stretch of stream with fewer people than below the dam; the dam is spectacular after rain, worth a look!) Taking a leisurely walk around, you can then head to the Nanshan Bamboo Sea. Stay overnight at the entrance of the scenic area and enjoy a Tianmu Lake big fish head, delightful 🤗 · Day2️⃣: Nanshan Bamboo Sea Scenic Area It's recommended to go straight there when they open in the morning. I bought a round-trip land rail + round-trip cable car + one-way train ticket for 💰250, which saves energy and keeps you cool, and you can bring 🐕 Following my order, there's basically no queuing in the morning, a relatively effortless and economical plan 🚩Suggested order of scenic area visit: Train up the mountain → Land rail up the mountain → Jiming Village → Panda Pavilion → Ancient Stage (lion dance performance at 10 am, a must-see) → Lunch (you can eat something in Jiming Village first, I thought the food throughout the scenic area would be similar, but it turns out this place has the most choices) → Shouxing Square → Cable car up the mountain (sword dance, seems to be at 12 pm) → Cable car down the mountain, back to Shouxing Square → Walk to Little Bird Paradise (performance, suitable for children) → Mountain's Voice (good for photos, also has performances, didn't wait for it) → Mirror Lake (water performance, at 2 pm)
