ONCE UPON A TIME IN Taihu Grottoes
"Thunder lit the airwaves. Lightning cleaved a befogged sky. Then, the heavens blazed forth in a spectrum of blues that melted into flaxen patches of atmosphere. Like a painting, the sky was a swirl of colors-the firmament hung directly over us in deep indigo, but on the horizon, the sky throbbed in sprightly citrine. Somewhere in between, a somber grey connected the poles of this watercolor sky. A brushstroke of lightning burst the tableau open, and the ablution of the Taihu began. We listened to the raindrops throw themselves against the grass. It was our final, transcendental delectation of the Wuxi we would soon be leaving.”
"
Yixing 🇨🇳 Jiangsu
Yixing in Jiangsu was advertised with the roadside paintings as a stunning bamboo forest that was very foggy. (Pic5)
and
Yixing was literally a stunning bamboo forest national park with ridiculous amounts of fog both days we were there.
The area is lovely with little restaurants and b&b's plus a couple big hotels near the national park entrance.
We stayed at the Bamboo international hotel and it was superb, they were accepting of our road bikes and breakfast was an array of Chinese foods.
In the evenings we tried the local restaurants and they were cosy and all had lots of bamboo, potato and pork dishes.
On our second day we went into the national park and went up a very long cableway (potentially 30mins). The higher we went the less we could see, but it was fun to walk around the peaks in thick fog and kinda eerie. The lakes and scenery are beautiful and I will return in the future in hope of a slightly clearer day.
Getting There- Self-drive, Taxi, tour bus or cycle. The roads are steep and very tight, great for cyclists who love mountain climbing as there wasn't much traffic.
Visit to the Yixing bamboo forest! 🎋🎋
a while ago I was privileged enough to visit this lovely park. this place is called the bamboo forest because the whole area is filled with so many bamboo trees and thus makes it such a great experience. the only thing I would have loved to see would be the cute pandas but unfortunately this area doesn’t have any.
This place is actually located in a small county just outside Wuxi in Jiangsu province and I was able to visit this spot with a bunch of amazing photographers and capture the beauty of this place.
another cool thing you could do here is to hike. there is a hill which is not too high, so it’s not such a tough hike but at the top, you have an amazing view, and also there’s a temple at the top and a gong that you might be able to ring. this was such an amazing experience for me and I recommend everyone to try this.#momentsmission #travelinspiration #scenicspotguide #decembertravel #naturalwonders #nationalpark

Jiangsu Yixing is rich in bamboo and has been known as the sea of bamboo since ancient times. The bamboo with a radius of more than tens of thousands of mu is undulating with the mountains and over 800 miles. It is like the waves of the sea rolling over and forming an emerald sea. It is also known as the "first bamboo sea in China".
My hometown There are also many bamboo forests in Guangxi. Even my grandmother's house is full of bamboo, but when I came to the lake, I was shocked by the greenery here. Into the bamboo seascape area, 10,000 acres of green bamboo, green and dripping, bamboo circuit turn, really amazing, I feel that I can shoot more than a dozen Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
After walking for a while, I decided to take the cable car to the top of the mountain. The newly built cableway is 1,500 meters long and the upper and lower stations are 400 meters apart. It is the most in the east of China. Take the cable car to the top of the "Sunan Peak". On the way, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the bamboo sea in the air. In the wind, you can enjoy the magnificent and turbulent waves of the bamboo sea.
The bamboo sea seen in the cable car mountain is very shocking. The foot is really a sea of green water, stretching to the mountains and clouds in the distance. The cable car is very steep, and people with fear of high disease still have to be careful, but it is wonderful to shuttle between the breathtaking and beautiful scenery.
