The First Peak in Southern Jiangsu | Yixing Bamboo Forest

📍Yixing Bamboo Forest is located in Hufu Town, Yixing City. Transportation: 🚗Self-driving is highly recommended. Public transportation is also very convenient. You can take a high-speed train or bus to Yixing City, and then take the tourist bus No. 201 to get there directly. 🎫Tickets are CNY 70 if purchased in advance. 🕐Opening hours: 8:00–17:00 🌟Tour route: The sightseeing bus at the entrance costs CNY 10 for a one-way trip to the foot of the mountain. It is recommended to take the bus, otherwise it will take about 1 hour to walk. However, the scenery along the way is very beautiful, with small attractions such as Mirror Lake (where you can see "peach blossom jellyfish"), Jizhao Temple, suspension bridge, and fountain. The bamboo forest plank road along the way is a great place to take photos! 🎥 The starting point of the climb is "Seabed", and when you look up, you will see the Bamboo Forest in the Mist and Rain. There are snacks and souvenirs for sale here. From "Seabed" to Yunu Peak at an altitude of about 600 meters, the whole journey is on stone steps, which are relatively steep. It takes about 1 hour to reach the top. Although it is tiring, you will be surrounded by green bamboos along the way, which is very pleasant. 😋Local delicacies: There are many farmhouses around the scenic area. You must try Yixing's special black rice with white sugar, bamboo shoots, and bamboo chicken.
