Once formerly known as Dane’s Island in English, it offers a wonderful place to unwind and relax whilst exploring some rich history of China. It’s famous for it’s Military Academy and old village.
🌴It’s easy to wonder around this place by foot, or by bike and has many places to take a visit.
⛴To get there from the CBD, it’s a short 10 minute ferry ride. (If you really, want you can take your car on the car ferry across the river). Look for the yellow duck when you’re arriving
The key attractions of Changzhou Island is the Military Academy - this is open to the public during open hours will small entrance fee. Unfortunately, I arrived too late so could not visit this time.
But I still had great fun wondering around the old village, seeing locals enjoying life.
Tips:
1. Make sure you take plenty of water as it can get very hot.
2. Some places allow you to go to the 2nd/3rd floor at a small cost. If you manage to find those places, take the chance it can be very interesting!
📍Changzhou Dao Island, Huangpu - Head to Yuzhu Metro Station and from there is easy to find Yuzhu Wharf.

🍔 You can find plenty of street vendors around the island who will sell all sorts of snacks like pancakes, drinks, tofu etc
