Suddenly inspired to visit Haining·Jiaxing for tide-watching this weekend, I immediately prepared this special guide to share with everyone. 🚉Transportation Tips: To visit Haining·Jiaxing for tide-watching, there are two main scenic areas: Yanguan Tide Music Town (formerly Yanguan Ancient Town) and Tide-Watching Park. These two attractions are located right next to each other. 🗓Itinerary Suggestions: First, check the tide-watching schedule (synchronized on Haining's official WeChat account). If the tide is at noon, visit Tide Music Town first (estimated 2-3 hours), then go to the park for tide-watching. For early morning tides, watch at Tide-Watching Park first before visiting Yanguan Tide Music Town. For a more relaxed trip, consider staying at Kaiyuan Yiju Holiday Manor (Haining Yanguan Tide-Watching Park Branch) to avoid rushing. 🌟Highlights: Tide-Watching Park is quite spacious with an elongated shape, featuring mainly tide-watching platforms. It also preserves traces left by historical figures who came to watch the tides here. Notable spots include the Xu Zhimo Watching Tides with Friends sculpture, Zhongshan Pavilion, Sanjie Pavilion, etc. Many national leaders have also visited here. 📝Important Notes: The tide-watching timing is very precise but varies daily. The best viewing is usually around the 1st and 15th of the lunar month when tides are more dramatic. Always check the schedule in advance.

The tide video will be played every 10 minutes on time, don’t miss it! [Two] Tide-watching Park: On the bank of Qiantang River, you can see the spectacular "tide line". The iconic tide-watching building "Zhan'ao Tower" is located here. The tide-watching time is different every day, so remember to check the tide time in advance.

I was deeply attracted by the famous waterfall wall in Yanguan Chaole City, so I chose a good day to check it out. It was quite shocking to see it in person, and it was also very easy to take pictures. [Incapable]But... the experience in the scenic area is really a bit disappointing... [JoyTears]First of all, buying tickets is super complicated. There are two scenic spots, Yanguan Chaole City Ancient Town and Guanchao Scenic Park. You can also go to Guanchao Park from the ancient town. It takes about 5 minutes by electric car (you need to buy a separate ticket when you take the car), and it takes about half an hour to walk there. You can also buy Guanchao Park tickets separately without entering the ancient town. The car can drive directly to the Guanchao Park parking lot. [Akward] Secondly, the planning and form of the scenic area are very similar to Puyuan, but it is far less beautiful than Puyuan. Many places are still under construction, and about half of them have been opened, concentrated on the left side after entering the ancient town scenic area and along the tide-watching park area. There are few supporting facilities in the scenic area, and the experience is average. It feels not worth the 80 yuan ticket price. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : 4️⃣ Recommended attractions: After a comprehensive tour, I feel that there are not many recommended attractions in the ancient town. I have only walked past them. The police station and Jin Yong Bookstore are okay. 5️⃣Tips for avoiding pitfalls: I personally do not recommend going to the ancient town, as about half of the area is not open yet. [Tongue] Suggestion: Personally, I think the most efficient and economical way to play is to check in at the waterfall wall at the entrance, buy a ticket for Guanchao Park, drive directly to the Guanchao Park parking lot, watch the tide, and end. [NosePick]But: If you have enough time and feel that you are here, you can choose to visit both scenic spots. It is recommended to use small transportation within the scenic area to go back and forth to watch the tide and visit several scenic spots along the river, because the middle section of the road is the hotel and the unopened area. [Chukle] Okay, I’ll stop here. If you have other questions, please leave them in the comment section and I’ll reply to them one by one!

Yanguan Ancient Town: This is a “living ancient town.” Stepping inside is like traveling back in time, with stone roads, old houses, and even the air filled with history. But don't worry, you won't actually time-travel. At most, you'll take some classical photos and pretend to be a cultured person on your social media! 2. Qiantang River Tide Viewing: The Qiantang River tide is a wonder of the world. When the tide comes in, it is magnificent, as if to say, "Hey, don't stand too close, I don't want to sweep you away!" Remember to check the tide times in advance so you don't make a wasted trip! 3. Haining Leather City: If you like shopping, this is your paradise! Leather goods are dazzling, your wallet may cry, but your wardrobe will smile! Remember to bargain, don't be soft-hearted, after all, traveling is about "bargaining" for happiness! 🍲Dish recommendations: 1. Yanguan Potted Pork: This is Yanguan's "internet-famous dish"! Large pieces of pork belly are stewed until soft and tender, melting in your mouth, fatty but not greasy. After one bite, you can't help but sigh, "This meat is simply the 'gentle knife' of the meat world!" 2. Haining Banquet Balls: Banquet balls are made of fish, with a springy texture and delicious flavor. When you eat them, you can imagine yourself attending an ancient banquet, pretending to be a noble, taking an elegant bite, and instantly feeling sophisticated! 3. Qiantang River Fresh Fish: The fish from the Qiantang River is the "freshest in the river," delicious whether steamed or braised. When eating fish, don't forget to say, "This fish is simply the 'swimming champion' of the river, with firm flesh and first-class taste!" 4. Yanguan Stinky Tofu: Don't be scared by the name, stinky tofu is a representative of "smells stinky, tastes delicious"! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, dipped in sauce, one bite will make you shout, "This stinky tofu is simply the 'like-minded' food!" 📝Tips: - About the tide: Don't stand too close when watching the tide, the tide is "fierce," you don't want to become a "trendy person" among "trendy people," do you? - About the food: When eating potted pork, remember to enjoy it slowly, don't rush to swallow it, after all, the meat won't run away, but your stomach might "protest"! - About shopping: When bargaining in the leather city, remember to bring your "negotiation skills," don't let the boss think you're a "pushover"! In short, Yanguan is a place where you can have fun and eat your fill. Bring your good mood and come to Yanguan to start a journey that will "make you laugh till your stomach hurts"!
