Regret comes too late, the underrated niche tourist city in Jiangsu
Jiangsu tourism is not limited to Suzhou and Nanjing, there are also many hidden gem cities in the northern part of Jiangsu. Last week, I visited Suqian, a place even Emperor Qianlong praised as 'the best spring scenery in all the lands', and I regret not coming earlier~
I can't help but share my two-day itinerary, remember to save it first❗️

✅ Itinerary Recommendation
DAY1: Siyang Station - Mazu Culture Park - Yuelai Temple - Night Tour of Sishui Pavilion Canal Scenery Belt
DAY2: Suqian Station - Xiang Wang's Hometown - Suqian Museum - Roman Park - Luoma Lake Beach Park - Suqian Impression·Yuanjia Village - Return trip
🚄 Transportation
✔️ Departing from the southern Jiangsu area, take the high-speed train to Siyang for a day, then go to Suqian.
✔️ Departing from other provinces, you need to transfer in Xuzhou, then you can go to Suqian first, and then to Siyang.
✔️ There are many high-speed train services from Siyang to Suqian, just one stop away. It's also very convenient to take a taxi for city tours~

📷 About the Check-in Spots
1️⃣ Suqian Impression·Yuanjia Village
Small bridges, flowing water, fish lanterns, the charm of the south of the Yangtze River is very photogenic, and the street is full of specialty snacks, suitable for night tours~
·
2️⃣ Sishui Pavilion
Named after the water, Siyang's Sishui Pavilion is a landmark building here, and the night view is even more beautiful when the lights are on. Come here in the evening to enjoy the canal scenery and the evening breeze.
·
3️⃣ Xiang Wang's Hometown - Suqian Museum
Suqian is the hometown of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. The grand Chu-Han architectural complex allows you to climb the ancient city wall and overlook the panorama. Also, don't miss the nearby Suqian Museum to learn about the city's history.
·
4️⃣ Yuelai Temple
I visited specifically because of the temple's name 'Yuelai', and the yellow wall architecture here is unexpectedly photogenic. Locals come here for wedding photos.
·
5️⃣ Mazu Culture Park
Located on a small island surrounded by water on three sides in the canal, the 30-meter-tall Mazu statue stands at one end of the island, sacred and awe-inspiring~

🏨 Accommodation Recommendation
This time we stayed at the Siyang Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel under the Bada House brand, with a new Chinese style, the decorative details showcase Eastern aesthetics. The window offers an unobstructed view of the canal scenery, with a swimming pool and gym, making for a great vacation experience~ Convenient transportation, 3 minutes by car to Sishui Pavilion, 15 minutes to the high-speed train station.
The scenic spot is located in the main city of Suqian, with convenient transportation, but it is basically newly built. Although it is called the "Xiangwang Hometown", it is actually more like "Xiangyu Chu Culture Theme Park". There are also some timed Chu cultural performances in the scenic area. When it is not in the past, it is rainy and it is not seen. Overall, the fare is still a bit high.
It is worth taking the baby to visit the former residence of the overlord. After thousands of years, I dreamed back to Xichu. See the hero and pride of the heavy-handed teenager. Life as a man, death is also a ghost. So far, Xiang Yu, refused to cross Jiangdong.
The actors at the theater Hongmen banquet performed very well, the dance was also great, and I felt that the rehearsal was very careful. The biggest problem during May 1st was that there were too few staff, and there was no one to find if there was a problem. The layout of the scenic spot was not bad. ~
Xiang Wang's hometown May 1st performance is still very rich, I feel that the fare is a bit high for foreigners, the fare of the locals is still very cost-effective. Mainly for Xiang Yu's life and story, there are many memorial halls.
The ecological environment of the scenic spot is very beautiful, the air is fresh and pleasant, people are far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and feel the tranquility and beauty of nature. The supporting facilities of the scenic spot are also very complete, and tourists can enjoy various convenient services here, making the play experience more enjoyable. The service attitude of the scenic spot is very thoughtful, and every staff member is warm and friendly, making people feel the warmth of home. At the same time, the security measures of the scenic spot are also very complete, which makes people feel at ease.
