Introduction Changshu Peony Viewing

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Changshu is a great place to enjoy peonies in the south of the Yangtze River. It is known as one of the "four major peony viewing bases in China" along with Luoyang in Henan, Heze in Shandong, and Pengzhou in Sichuan. In the early flowering period, peonies and other flowers bloom together with colorful cherry blossoms; in the peak flowering period, precious varieties such as "Yao Huang" and "Wei Zi" compete with each other for beauty, and the garden is full of national beauty and fragrance; in the late flowering period, the king of flowers, the peony, still stands upright, and the flower-phase peony and the queen rose bloom in relay. In addition to flower viewing, there are also special tours such as "listening to Pingtan and appreciating peonies on a cruise", drone colored smoke shows, puppet fun play, and flower fairy parade. Walking in the meantime, it seems as if you are in a beautiful spring painting, which makes people linger, indulge in this world of peonies, and feel the unique romance and charm of the south of the Yangtze River.

[Changshu] Xingfu Temple, Fangta Park, and Confucian Temple.

[Changshu] Xingfu Temple, Fangta Park, and Confucian Temple.

❶ In the early morning, the sun shines on the ancient temple. The bamboo path leads to a secluded place, where the Zen room is surrounded by flowers and trees. The mountain light delights the birds, and the pool shadow empties the human heart. All sounds are silent, except for the sound of bells and chimes. What kind of scenery could inspire Tang Dynasty poet Chang Jian to write such a famous poem? I think it must be the "Poshan Temple" in late autumn and early winter, where the two red maples by the lotus pond are as passionate as fire, and the yellow walls and round arches are particularly striking. Walking in the footsteps of the great poet, looking down at Xingfu Temple from the ground to the sky, isn't it beautiful? ❷ Fangta Park has three treasures: the square pagoda, ancient ginkgo, and ancient well. In this season, the ancient ginkgo is the star of the entire garden. ❸ In the cold autumn, the ginkgo leaves of the Changshu Confucian Temple are reflected by the red walls, carrying the expectations of many people. [Changshu] Xingfu Temple, Fangta Park, and Confucian Temple, year after year, we are fortunate to meet again, looking forward to the next time! Ticket information: Xingfu Temple CNY 10, Fangta Park free, Confucian Temple CNY 10 Parking information: CNY 7/time, every 5 hours is 1 time

Shajiabang, a revolutionary history!

Shangjiabang is located in the southeast of the city of Changshu in Jiangsu province and about an hour drive from Suzhou city. A new elevated highway from Suzhou to Changsu is under construction and expected to be opened in October that will reduce time to 30 minutes. I did some research online about this place and found an interesting anecdote. Shajiabang was part of the guerrilla base, where the local resistance force Jiangkang (Jiangnan Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army), subsequently incorporated into the New Fourth Army, fought against the Japanese Invaders in the intricate waterways of the area. In 1939 more than thirty wounded and sick Jiangkang soldiers led by Commissar Guo Jianguang could not move on with their troops. They stayed in the area of Shajiabang and were hiding from the Japanese and Nationalist troops near Shajiabang. Sister A Qing was an underground agent of the CCP who used to run a local tea shop as cover. With the help of local residents and her own intelligence, she managed to protect the wounded soldiers from the Japanese invaders and Commander Hu and Advisor Diao of the Nationalist forces. Commissar Guo and his soldiers survived all adversities and returned to Shajiabang to wipe out the enemy.  Apart from the historical aspect, you can also enjoy this place for it's wide range of natural elegance including forest, lake, bridges and canals. You will also find local village and street, locally made rice wine and many recreational activities. For a day long family tour, I would highly recommend this place. #shajiabang #wetland #forestpark #historyofchina

Shanghai Weekend Getaway|Second Visit to Changshu, 2 Days 1 Night Leisurely Tour

Shanghai Weekend Getaway|Second Visit to Changshu, 2 Days 1 Night Leisurely Tour

There are many small towns in Jiangnan waiting to be discovered, and their brilliance seems to be overshadowed. "Changshu" is one of them. The longer you stay in Jiangnan, the more you can't help but fall in love with it. - This is the second visit to Changshu. Last autumn, I visited Shanghu Lake and Xingfu Temple. This summer, I came again to explore the lakes and mountains, play in the water, and appreciate the culture. Different seasons offer different sceneries. A 2-hour drive from Shanghai on the weekend allows for a leisurely tour of the small town. —————————————————— 【Day 1: Shanghai -> Shanghu Huajianfu·Yanboli】 ① "Stay at Yanboli" Depart from Shanghai after lunch and arrive before 3 PM to check in. The afternoon sunlight pours into the room, brew a pot of Pu'er tea provided in the room, and watch the child draw on the small table by the bay window... Lazy and cozy. ② "Stroll in the Courtyard" After having afternoon tea at Huajian, walk into the courtyard with Suzhou-style garden features. There are small bridges, lotus flowers, and crape myrtle trees in full bloom. The soft afternoon light and the pink walls and black tiles of the courtyard make it a perfect time for taking photos. ③ "Shanghu Lake Sunset" After dinner, the sunset over the lake is beautiful. Walk to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, where the sunset reflects on the water. Run along the long boardwalk, watch the wild ducks swimming on the water, and feed the small fish in the lake... This is a paradise for children. - 【Day 2: Enjoy Shanghu Lake Scenery, Visit Jiangnan Gardens】 ① "Shanghu Lake Rafting" A 5-minute walk from the hotel to the entrance of Shanghu Lake Scenic Area, the rafting inside is suitable for families. The first half has gentle water flow, while the second half involves navigating through water columns falling from above, requiring you to row and dodge the water columns, which is very challenging... This was the child's favorite activity. ② "Drive Around the Lake" In addition to driving, you can also cycle around the lake. The hotel offers bicycle rentals. Start from the hotel, cross the Moon Bridge in the center of the lake, and then ride through the shaded trees on the North Ring Road. There are parking lots by the roadside, where you can sit by the lake to admire Shanghu Lake and gaze at Yushan Mountain in the distance. ③ "Visit Zhao Zeng Garden and Fangta Garden" Two Jiangnan gardens in Changshu, Zhao Zeng Garden features large lotus ponds, a stele corridor, and rockeries. Fangta Garden, a national heritage site, has the Southern Song Dynasty Fangta Pagoda, an ancient well, and an ancient ginkgo tree, known as the "Three Treasures of the Garden".

Southern Confucius

Southern Confucius

Yan Zi's Tomb: Yan Zi (506–443 BC), whose given name was Yan and courtesy name was Ziyou, was a native of the State of Wu in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He was one of the 72 disciples of Confucius and the only one from the south. When Yan Zi was the county magistrate of the State of Lu, he was known for his governance through music. In the Book of Rites, he elaborated on Confucius' ideas of a moderately prosperous society and a great harmony, which are of great significance to Confucianism and the study of rites. Yan Zi was revered as the Southern Confucius by later generations and was honored in Confucian sacrifices.

Cengzhao Garden, Changshu

Cengzhao Garden, Changshu

Ceng Garden and Zhao Garden in Changshu, Jiangsu, were famous gardens in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Jiangnan. The two gardens are adjacent to each other, both borrowing Yushan Mountain as a view, with water as the main body, and the scenic spots are built around the pool, interspersed with each other, and the water and mountain scenery are in the same garden. After crossing Yongchun Bridge, you will reach the entrance of Ceng Garden, a Jiangsu Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Unit (announced on June 5, 2006). Ceng Garden is a classical garden building built in the late Qing Dynasty, located in front of Weng Mansion in the southwest corner of Changshu City, Jiangsu Province, adjacent to Zhao Garden. It was originally the site of the Xiaowangchuan of Qian Dai, a censor during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. During the Tongzhi and Guangxu periods of the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Zhizhuan, a Langzhong of the Ministry of Justice, built it as a family garden, called "Xukuo Garden". Borrowing the mountain to take the scenery, the water and mountain scenery are integrated. Ceng Garden has always been a great place to enjoy lotus flowers in the ancient city of Changshu, and is one of the eighteen scenic spots in Changshu. In summer, the lotus leaves in the pond in the garden are lush, the lotus flowers are graceful, and the water is rippling. The pavilions and corridors built by the water are simple and elegant, and they complement the water, sky, and lotus flowers. Zhao Garden is part of the site of the "Xiaowangchuan" built by Qian Dai, a censor during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. During the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods of the Qing Dynasty, it was owned by Wu Junji, a native of the county, and was originally named Shuihu Garden, also known as Shuiwu Garden. During the Tongzhi and Guangxu periods of the Qing Dynasty, the garden belonged to Zhao Liewen, a native of Yanghu, now Changzhou, and the door plaque was "Jingpu", commonly known as Zhaowu Garden. The whole garden is famous for its water scenery, and all the scenery is built around the water, interspersed with each other, and arranged properly.
