## Yixing Travel Guide for Kids: Quality Time in the Mountains and Rivers 👣👣 📍Yixing, a small town in southern China, is famous for its unique purple clay culture and beautiful scenery. For families traveling with children, it not only offers a rich cultural experience, but also many natural attractions suitable for parent-child interaction. Here is a detailed Yixing travel guide for kids to help you plan an unforgettable family trip. ### ✅First stop: Longbeishan Forest Park - A classroom for nature education In the morning, it is recommended to visit Longbeishan Forest Park first. It is the green lung of the city, with a well-developed trail system and rich vegetation. It is especially recommended to take children on a sightseeing train through the forest and learn about various plants in a relaxed atmosphere. There is a children's playground in the park, where slides, swings and other facilities allow children to release their energy. Climb the Wenfeng Pagoda to overlook the city, and tell your children about the history of Yixing, so that natural and cultural knowledge can be cleverly combined. ### ✅Second stop: Shanjuan Cave - Exploring geological wonders In the afternoon, you can drive to the famous Shanjuan Cave Scenic Area. This karst cave, formed millions of years ago, looks like a fairy tale world under the illumination of carefully designed lights. The temperature inside the cave is constant at 18℃, suitable for all seasons. It is recommended to choose a tour route with a guide. Children will be amazed by the unique stalactite shapes such as the "Lion and Elephant Grand Plaza". After leaving the cave, you can experience traditional pottery making and let your children make pottery by hand to feel the charm of purple clay culture (reservations are required in advance). ### ✅Third stop: Yunhu Scenic Area - Waterfront leisure time It is recommended to go to Yunhu Scenic Area in Xizhu Town the next day. The lake and mountains here are beautiful, especially suitable for family cycling. The scenic area provides double/four-person bicycle rentals, and the dedicated lakeside lane is safe and comfortable. In summer, you can take your children to experience kayaking (life jackets are required), or play in the shallows. At noon, you may wish to taste Yixing specialties such as steamed silver fish with eggs and black rice in a lakeside farmhouse. Fresh ingredients are most popular with children. ### 🏯Cultural experience: Ceramics Museum + Shushan Gunan Street If time is sufficient, the China Ceramics Museum cannot be missed. There is a children's interactive area in the museum, which makes the boring history of ceramics vivid and interesting through multimedia displays. Afterwards, you can stroll along Shushan Gunan Street, this well-preserved old street of purple clay is full of studios. Many artists will demonstrate the pot-making process on site. Children can watch the transformation of purple clay from clay to art up close. ### Useful tips: ‼️ 1. Transportation: It is about 30-50 minutes' drive between the scenic spots. You can also choose a taxi (about 60 yuan from Yixing city to Shanjuan Cave) 2. Tickets: Longbeishan is free, Shanjuan Cave joint ticket (including cable car and pottery) is 120 yuan/adult, children under 1.4 meters are free 3. Accommodation: It is recommended to choose a hotel in the city (such as Yixing Hotel), or a characteristic homestay around Yunhu (reservations are required in advance) 4. Best season: Spring and autumn (March-May, September-November) have the most suitable climate for outdoor activities It is recommended to arrange a 2-3 day trip and slow down the pace appropriately. The essence of Yixing lies not in checking in how many attractions, but in allowing children to grow naturally in the mountains and rivers, and learn quietly in the culture. Remember to bring a sketchbook, maybe your child will become the next little purple clay artist!

The aerial view of the lake on a sunny day is very blue. ➋ Chinese-style party I prefer the lively night to the daytime. When various intangible cultural heritage performances are presented before my eyes, I am amazed by the ultimate aesthetics of our ancestors. ➌ Dragon-shaped water show + Longteng fireworks show With the brightly lit town as the background, the water columns of the water show spray like dragons. The fireworks lasted for more than 20 minutes, and the visual and auditory experience was really shocking. The scene was so beautiful! ➍ Cloud Train The train circles the entire town, with stops in the middle where you can get off. It runs both day and night. I recommend taking the neon version of the train at night. The interior decoration is quite ceremonial, and you can enjoy the night view of Yaohu and the fireworks and water show through the window. It's really romantic. ➎ Bamboo Rat Water Park You can enjoy the water in winter. The indoor temperature is constant, making it suitable for family trips. 🏠 Overall, Yaohu Town is perfect for a short trip. If you have enough time, a two-day, one-night trip is also a good choice. I plan to bring my family here again! 😘

"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 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.

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.
