It's a great deal! But it's cold at night, so wear more clothes, or you'll be shivering. There aren't many people in the park now, but there will be a lot of people during the Spring Festival, so hurry up and take photos while there are fewer people. The park is beautiful, with ancient pavilions and towers scattered along the lake. During the day, the lake reflects the green trees and ancient buildings on the shore, and it feels like you're in an ancient Jiangnan water town.
