1 hour from Nanjing. This fireworks town in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai is about to explode.

Yixing Yaohu Town super detailed guide, hurry up and save it! From Nanjing, you can drive for 1 hour to reach this treasure fireworks town in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai - Yixing Yaohu Town. Avoid the crowds and go on a reverse trip! 🎈Beautiful Scenery During the day, the green mountains stretch and the green water ripples, like a watercolor painting. Take a boat ride on the lake or take a train through the bamboo forest, with a gentle breeze and swaying bamboo shadows, it is very comfortable. The architecture of the town is unique, combining the styles of various dynasties. Walking through it, you will see a different view at every step, and every corner is suitable for taking photos. Standing on the lakeside trestle bridge, the mountains and rivers complement each other. If it is a sunny day, the lake is blue and clear from the aerial view, which is beautiful. 🍱Food There are many delicious foods in Yixing! The first recommendation is Yixing black rice, which is fragrant and glutinous. The glutinous rice soaked in the juice of the black tree leaves has a unique aroma. It is sweet and delicious when dipped in white sugar. There is also Yixing crisp sugar, which is sweet but not greasy, melts in the mouth, and the rich sesame flavor spreads on the tip of the tongue, full of the taste of the old days. Salted meat stewed bamboo shoots is also a must, the fresh and tender bamboo shoots absorb the salty aroma of the salted meat, the soup is fresh and delicious, just thinking about it makes your mouth water. 🎡Attractions 1. Chinese-style Party: When night falls and the lights come on, the town becomes lively. There are activities with strong Chinese characteristics, such as the flying fire phoenix, fire skirt dance, fire pot performance, and bonfire party. The intangible cultural heritage performances are wonderful, and the cultural treasures passed down by our ancestors shine before our eyes, which is shocking. 2. Dragon-shaped Water Show and Dragon Fireworks Show: With the brightly lit town as the background, the water columns of the water show rise and fall like dragons, spraying and jumping. The fireworks last for more than 20 minutes, lighting up the night sky, a feast for the eyes and ears, the beautiful scene is intoxicating. 3. Cloud Train: The train runs around the town, with picturesque scenery along the way, and there are stops in the middle for getting on and off. It is highly recommended to take the neon version of the train at night, the interior is beautifully decorated, and the sense of ceremony is full. Through the window, you can enjoy the charming night view of Yaohu and the fireworks and water show, which is extremely romantic. 4. Bamboo Rat Water Park: Even in the cold winter, you can enjoy the water here. The park adopts an indoor constant temperature design, the water temperature is comfortable, and there are a variety of amusement facilities, which is an excellent choice for family trips, allowing children to play in the water and enjoy a happy time. 📌Notes 1. If you plan to go to the water park, remember to prepare swimsuits and water play equipment in advance. There are also shops in the park for purchase, but the price may be slightly higher. 2. If you accidentally miss the opening time, don't worry, there will be the same rich program during the Spring Festival, and you can come to experience it then. 3. It is recommended to stay overnight in the scenic area. There are many homestays, each with its own characteristics.
