2025 Jiangyin Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

I have been to this beautiful place twice. once during the day and once at night time. They truly take good care of their horses, the place is very clean and at night time they usually have live entertainment. If you’re looking for a little piece of Europe in China, this is certainly the place to come. The best time to go is in the afternoon going into the evening and during autumn time when the weather is moderate.

I visited Wuxi Ancient Street for my birthday, and it was epic. I had dinner at Casa Zoe then took a walk along the street. You can take a boat ride along the river or browse what the various vendors have to offer. I got a cartoon photo of myself. There were also a lot of restaurants and shops. You can relax and grab something to eat at popular places like Commune or Starbucks. #foodie #urbanexplorer #bday #wuxi

Address - Jiangyin City (Wuxi) Ambiance/Facilities - Great ambiance and facilities, with a modern and clean look Highlights - Close and central Avg. Price per Person - 300RMB + for stay and 128rmb for buffet breakfast Rating - 7/10 because the breakfast is really not up to western standards, or even Chinese standards at all

A failed plan - I've arrived at the place at the time that Xuxiake's former residence closes yet lovely as I've seen views surrounding the area and met kind people who let me charge my bike til it got enough power to drive back to my apartment. #themepark#lakes

Wuxi - jiangyin, a place which is 1 hour by road from train station . Town with good hearted people , hailan area is kind of scenic spot with bridge and clock. The village near to this place is really beautiful with crops field, pond, children's play around the pond and some do fishing . Moon cakes making shops are seen near the village which is really an art and the taste is yummy 😍 #awesomepic #tripaway #mytrip

Visit Jiangyin’s Shipyard park!

It is not Venice, not Europe! It is the Haishu Pegasus Water City in Xinqiao Town, Jiangyin City, the top 100 counties in the country. That's right, it's the scenic spot created by the Haishu House, which is "two times a year" . 11 small holiday Jiangyin weather is fine, the flow of tourists is quite a lot, the key areas of the scenic spot can achieve the effect of people's congregation, but in a relatively comfortable state. If you come here to take a photo, you dont need tickets, and you wont even charge for parking. Additional fees apply for carriage rides and equestrian experiences. Shuicheng also has art galleries, shopping centers, outlets and cinemas, with multiple choices for the whole family. There will be a musical fountain in the evening, it is recommended to play for a day, and there are many restaurants in the scenic area.

Jiangyin Xingguoyuan, which originally had no parks, was built to protect the towering ancient towers in the park. The ancient tower is the Xingguo Tower. It was built in the Taiping Xingguo Period of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than a thousand years. The real antiquities are striking the shape of the top of the ancient pagoda. It is said that the artillery fire has caused it to become the present, just like a Pen tip. There are many antique buildings and stone bridges in the Xingguo Garden, such as Xiaohong Bridge, Zhangzhou Bridge, Shanzheng Bridge, etc. These stone bridges exist in the history of Jiangyin, but they have disappeared now. In the park, it is like coming to a quaint Jiangnan garden, pavilions, rockery and lush green vegetation, making people forget to return~

As autumn's colors deepened, I drove my family to Jiangyin in search of a relaxing retreat. As a wine merchant with high standards, choosing a hotel that satisfies both my palate and my need for tranquility was paramount. The Wyndham Grand Plaza Royale Jiangyin proved to be the perfect choice. 🏠 A Home Away From Home From the moment we stepped into the lobby, we were captivated by the elegant yet welcoming decor. The spacious rooms, ranging from 42 to 85 square meters, exude a sense of thoughtful care. Whether for business or leisure, the hotel offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. 🍽 A Culinary Paradise The hotel's Joyful Western Restaurant and Tianshuiyaju Chinese Restaurant offer a diverse selection of global and authentic Chinese cuisine. The Huaiyang cuisine at Tianshuiyaju is particularly noteworthy, with each dish meticulously prepared and bursting with flavor. 🏊‍♂️ Recreation and Relaxation The 250-square-meter heated pool at the Xingzhou Fitness Center is a haven for both adults and children. The fully equipped gym and personal trainers are available to help you stay in top form. 🎨 Family Fun for All Ages The family rooms are designed with children in mind, featuring fun amenities like slides and children's toiletries. Thoughtful touches like complimentary fruit and snacks make family travel even more enjoyable. Just a short distance from the hotel is the Jiangyin Bund. In the evening, take a stroll along the riverbank and watch the boats glide beneath the Jiangyin Bridge as the setting sun casts a golden glow on the water. Zhongshan Park is another great option, offering lush greenery and fresh air, perfect for a relaxing family walk. If you're planning a trip to Jiangyin, consider the Wyndham Grand Plaza Royale Jiangyin. It not only meets the highest standards of quality but also promises an unforgettable experience for you and your family.

There is a great hiking route along the Yangtze River in Jiangyin. Start from Huangtiangang Park and follow the trail without a map. The vast sky, wide river, and rich colors will refresh you. You will pass one park after another, with no clear boundaries between them: Huangtiangang Park, Jiucaigang Park, Shipyard Park, and E'biwei Park. E'biwei Park is the largest, and in season, the ginkgo and red maple trees at the entrance are bright and vibrant. There are small hills in the park, and the trails are great for light exercise. The riverside boardwalk is refreshing, and you can rest at the "Jiangwei Haitou" and watch the waves crash against the shore and the sunset.

I had heard about Pegasus Watertown in Jiangyin, Wuxi, which is known as the "Venice of China", but I had never been there. So I chose Jiangyin as the destination for my first trip of the new year. It is very convenient to travel from Shanghai. You can take a high-speed train to Jiangyin Station, and then take a bus directly to Pegasus Watertown. Heilan Pegasus Watertown is located at the southern end of Xinqiao Town, Jiangyin City. It is a horse culture tourism complex that integrates equestrian training, performances, competitions, and leisure vacations. It includes an equestrian performance hall, a horse culture museum, the Heilan Art Museum, and other entertainment and experience projects. The architectural style of the Watertown is modeled after the Italian city of Venice, with extensive use of water elements to create a unique landscape of "water in the city, city in the water". Today, Heilan Pegasus Watertown has become a popular destination for internet celebrities due to its European-style architecture. When you arrive at Heilan Pegasus Watertown, it feels like stepping into a European fairy tale. In front of you, there are European-style buildings with spires, carvings, and brilliant colors, which are romantic and elegant. The clear lake water is like a huge mirror, reflecting the buildings, sky, and tourists, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion. Sitting on a gondola, the boatman hums an Italian tune and paddles leisurely. The boat moves slowly, the water ripples around, and the buildings on both sides seem to be slowly retreating, making people intoxicated. Entering the Horse Culture Museum is like starting a cross-time and space journey of horse culture. From ancient horse gear to modern horse racing equipment, from lifelike horse sculptures to precious horse breed introductions, every step allows you to touch the deep emotional bond between humans and horses. As night falls, the entire Watertown is lit up, and the music fountain in the square makes a stunning appearance. The colorful lights and water columns dance together, changing with the rhythm of the music, creating a colorful and beautiful scene. Heilan Pegasus Watertown is not only a visual feast but also a romantic haven for the soul, making people linger and reluctant to leave.

|Xingguo Temple Pagoda. The centerpiece of Xingguo Park is Xingguo Temple Pagoda. The temple was built during the Taiping Xingguo period of the Northern Song Dynasty. The temple was destroyed during the Yuan Dynasty, but the pagoda remains to this day. However, the pagoda has also experienced war. During the warlord conflicts of the Republic of China, the top two floors were cut off by artillery shells, resulting in the current pencil-like shape. In the Jiangyin Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall, there is a photo of the Japanese invasion, with the towering Xingguo Temple Pagoda in the background, which is particularly symbolic. The garden layout in Xingguo Park is winding and secluded. Many residents come here to exercise and sing.

This place made me feel dumbfounded . The twinkling lights at night make this place so bright. Unique and beautiful buildings in view and a river that stretches wide. If you go to this place, you will definitely not regret it and want to take pictures. #jiangsuprovince #Hailan #jiangyin

Heilan Pegasus Watertown in Jiangyin offers the following experiences: dressage performances, the Horse Culture Museum, the Heilan Art Museum, a night yacht tour around the city, horseback riding, gondola sightseeing, a horse-drawn carriage tour, and the Pegasus Watertown Shopping Center. 💰Ticket prices: We bought tickets to the Horse Culture Museum. Tickets are CNY 120 for adults, CNY 60 for children, and free for children under 1.2 m. 🌟Horse Culture Museum: The museum has 3 floors (B1–3F). The first floor has famous horses of different breeds from around the world. The horses rest at noon and are open for viewing at 2 pm. The B1 floor has ancient porcelain horses and cultural relics, as well as European carriages. On the second floor, a guide will take you through the history of horses from ancient times to the present. I have to complain about the dim lighting on the second floor, and the guide turns off the lights so quickly that you only have a few minutes to see each scene! The second floor has a beautiful display of Princess Sissi's carriage, but the lights turn off after 2 minutes, so visitors don't have time to take photos. The third floor is about the connection between the founding national leaders and Pegasus Watertown. ✅Must-try: After visiting the B1, second, and third floors, the famous horse area on the first floor is open. Here, you can learn about horse breeds from different countries and regions. Here, children can see different horse breeds and can't help but talk to the horses! Horses used to gallop across the battlefield, but what can they do now? It's said that horses can sleep standing up for several hours a day! 🌟Heilan Art Museum The Heilan Art Museum is the only attraction that doesn't require a ticket! It's a great place to visit, with different exhibits on each floor. There's a 100-meter-long scroll called "A Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River" and a huge scroll called "The Silk Road," both of which are very impressive! There are also Q-version art exhibitions, sculpture exhibitions, various seals, and different screens on the top floor, including screens used by national leaders on important occasions. 🌟Other paid attractions in the park: horse-drawn carriage tours, city yacht tours, gondola tours, horseback riding, and equestrian performances. I think the horse performances and exhibitions are quite expensive, but the park is even more beautiful at night, so you can just enjoy the scenery.

The weather is getting cold ❄️, so I immediately asked my sisters to eat hot chicken pot. 1⃣️ A whole orchard chicken 🐔, drink the soup first and then eat the meat. It's so happy! The chicken soup is very delicious, and it is very comfortable to drink it with a warm stomach. The chicken is dipped in the exclusive sauce, which is very fragrant 🤤 and not dry at all. It's the first time to eat pigeon claypot rice, it's delicious! The rice is very glutinous 🍚, like adding glutinous rice, double the happiness of carbohydrates. Add fresh winter bamboo shoots and a variety of mushrooms, the chicken soup is more delicious. The winter bamboo shoots are too tender now! Everyone is scrambling to eat, hahaha. The quality of meat and seafood 🦞 is also 👍, visible freshness. Shrimp 🦐 and abalone are still jumping, refusing ❌ to freeze. Five or six of us ordered more than a dozen dishes and ate them all! 😄 There are many people at the peak of lunch and dinner 🤨, it is recommended to make an appointment. The store has an open kitchen, so you can eat with confidence! The environment is also very photogenic.

Sweet and salty, with distinct layers👏🏻 ✔️The dried vegetables and pork are really fragrant, the pork is fat but not greasy and very tasty, the dried vegetables are more fragrant than the meat, and it goes well with rice~ Business is booming🔥Many local natives! ! It’s a good idea to eat with the uncles and aunts. The environment is also very good, with small bridges and flowing water on the side.

🌈Jiangyin Pegasus Water City, a popular online destination, perfect for photos!📸 ✨I set off for Jiangyin Pegasus Water City at 8 am! It's a great place for photos, with a huge Pegasus statue at the entrance. It's a must-visit! Bring your best outfits and get ready for the compliments! 🍽️At noon, try the local specialties! I recommend a place called "Old Street Snacks". Their soup dumplings are thin-skinned and juicy, a real treat! And don't miss Jiangyin's special dessert - Osmanthus Cake, soft and sweet, you won't be able to stop! 🛤️In the afternoon, take a walk along the lake. The scenery is beautiful, with the shimmering lake and the Pegasus statue in the distance looking spectacular at sunset.
