Yixing is a hidden gem that I can't stop recommending to my friends.

I went to Yixing this weekend. There are large tea gardens and grasslands, and intangible cultural heritage purple clay teapots. I enjoyed the colorful autumn scenery. Yixing is really a great place to take a leisurely stroll. • Stop 1: Tao Factory No. 2 ✨ It was transformed from the old site of the Purple Clay Factory No. 2, a collision of old factories and modern art. The exterior of the Tao Art Museum is made of locally produced ceramic tiles, and the surface is treated with a curved concave-convex texture kiln change effect, making the museum itself a work of art. The light and shadow effects and the reflection of the pool make it easy to take a great photo from any angle! Stop 2: Shushan Ancient South Street ✨ It is about 600 meters away from Tao Factory No. 2 and can be reached on foot. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yixing was the birthplace of purple clay culture. The ancient buildings, bluestone roads, former residences of celebrities, pottery studios, and purple clay merchants are all here. You can do pottery DIY and buy a set of your favorite porcelain. The coffee shop "Shushan Dongsi" at the entrance of the alley is worth a visit. Stop 3: Longbeishan Forest Park 🎫 Free national 4A-level tourist attraction The park is very large, and it takes about 2-3 hours to walk around the entire park.

Wenfeng Tower

Wenfeng Tower is located in Longbei Mountain Forest Park, Xinlong Street, Yixing City, Wuxing City, Jiangsu Province (west side). It was originally named Chengyun Tower and was built in the 35th year of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1607 AD).

Jiangsu/Yixing/Blind Box Trip - Experience the Healing Power of a Hidden Gem City, the "Capital of Ceramics"

This blind box trip took me to Yixing, the capital of ceramics! It's truly a hidden gem city. Not only does it boast a thousand years of history, but it also offers stunning natural scenery. Wander through the Great Lawn Park, hike through the bamboo forest, climb the Little Great Wall, visit the majestic ancient temple, and explore the thousand-year-old ancient town to experience the local history and culture. No crowds, high vegetation coverage, and lush greenery. Reverse tourism is the way to go here~ ✔️ Yixing Bamboo Sea A natural oxygen bar rich in negative ions, where you can take a deep breath. The mirror lake, like a piece of jade, is home to schools of fish that play from time to time. Looking up at the highest peak in southern Jiangsu from the mirror lake, it's quite majestic. ✔️ Longbei Mountain Forest Park ⏰ Time: 8:30-16:30 Located south of Yixing City, with three entrances: Taodu Gate, Yangxian Gate, and Jingxi Gate. It's a national 4A-level tourist attraction with a total area of about 5.5 square kilometers. It's one of the largest urban forest parks in East China. The terrain is flat, and the environment is excellent. The park is so large that there are two-person electric cars and multi-person bicycles available at the Yangxian Gate entrance. There's also a camping base. It's really refreshing and comfortable in the summer. Park at Taodu Gate for convenience, walk to Yangxian Gate, and Jingxi Gate is a bit far, not recommended. ✔️ Tao Er Factory It was newly built last year (if I remember correctly), and the interior is not yet finished. The exterior is as pictured, and it's great for taking photos. If you like taking photos, you can go and take some. ✔️ Shushan Ancient Nan Street The Ancient Nan Street Historical and Cultural District is located in the northeast of Yixing Dingshu District. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been a gathering place for the production, manufacture, and trade of Yixing Zisha pottery. Ancient Nan Street is located at the foot of Shushan Mountain, close to Li River. Shushan Mountain got its name from Su Dongpo's "This mountain is like Shu". Li River got its name from Fan Li, who lived in seclusion in the countryside and sailed with Xishi. There are many literary and artistic shops, and you can also experience Zisha DIY. There aren't many people, so it's a good place to take your time and explore. It's also a great place to take photos. 🚌 Transportation: Self-driving or ride-hailing is preferred to get to each attraction.
