Things to do in Haining

Yanguan Ancient Town is definitely worth a visit; it completely exceeded my expectations. There are many genuine ancient buildings within the town, and strolling around at a leisurely pace is very relaxing. The food prices are surprisingly reasonable compared to other ancient towns. The only downside is that many ancient buildings were locked, resulting in some areas being less crowded. Overall, Yanguan Ancient Town offers excellent value for money and is highly recommended.

The Tide-Watching Park isn't large, but it's rich in content. Historical relics include the Fish Scale Stone Embankment (originally built over 1700 years ago, renovated into a large fish-scale stone embankment during the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty, considered one of the three great ancient architectural projects alongside the Great Wall and the Grand Canal); and the Zhan'ao Pagoda (a Ming Dynasty structure, offering panoramic views of the Qiantang River from its summit). Other attractions include the Mao Zedong Tide-Watching Poem Stele Pavilion and the Zhenhai Iron Ox. The high tides occur from the 1st to the 6th and from the 15th to the 20th of each lunar month, offering the spectacular "One-Line Tide" phenomenon.

Overall, the attractions inside aren't very engaging. Eighty percent of the ancient buildings within the scenic area are closed. The immersive role-playing game is more suitable for older children; you can just stroll around, take a boat ride, and then leave. The most unique feature is actually the two waterfall walls outside the entrance, where music and flowing water create a truly immersive experience.

Bộc Viện có lịch sử từ thời Nam Tống, nổi bật với kiến trúc mang phong cách Tống, những mái ngói cong, nhà gỗ, hành lang dài, cầu đá bắc qua dòng kênh xanh và những con phố nhỏ đậm chất Giang Nam.Mình thích nhất là cảm giác thong thả khi dạo quanh nơi này. Ban ngày, cổ trấn đẹp nên thơ với những cây cầu soi bóng xuống dòng nước. Đến tối, ánh đèn thắp lên dọc hai bờ kênh, cả khu phố trở nên lung linh như một thước phim cổ trang.Cổ trấn đủ rộng để khám phá trọn một ngày, nhưng không quá đông đúc hay nhộn nhạo. Cứ thong thả đi bộ, ngắm cảnh, ghé một quán trà rồi lại đi tiếp, chẳng cần vội vàng chạy từ điểm này sang điểm khác.Với mình, một cổ trấn đẹp không chỉ nằm ở kiến trúc, mà còn ở cảm giác khi mình đi qua nó. Và Bộc Viện làm điều đó tốt hơn Ô Trấn một chúttt nha

Shenxian Lake, located in Yuanhua Town, Haining, adjacent to the hometown of Jin Yong (a famous Chinese novelist), is a secluded paradise transformed from an abandoned mine through years of ecological restoration. It's currently free to enter, and easily accessible by car from Shanghai. The entire lake area is surrounded by cliffs. On a clear day, the lake water displays a clear gradient of blue and green due to the refraction of minerals, combining the rugged charm of Nordic fjords with the gentle elegance of Jiangnan landscapes, earning it the nickname "Lakeside in the real-life Zelda." Gentle walking paths and viewing platforms surround the lake, offering panoramic views of the twin lakes. A leisurely stroll around the lake is a rare and refreshing natural retreat in northern Zhejiang.

A place very worth visiting, hahahahahahaha

The ancient town was beautiful and the experience was amazing. A great getaway from the busy city and chill by the river.

I bought a combined ticket, and unless you go to the attractions very early in the morning, the time might be a bit rushed for first-time visitors to Wuzhen. However, overall, the environment and service experience made it a very worthwhile trip. I would highly recommend it to my friends. I would definitely come back again if I have the chance, because there are some interesting and engaging attractions that you simply can't fit in one day. ☺️

The leather and furs in Haining Leather City are the best designed in China, and the quality is comparable to that of Europe and the United States. There are many stores in the market, and the brand area is in the middle of the 2nd/3rd floor of Building A. Among them, the unified cashier area on the 3rd floor is newly opened, and the quality is more reliable.

This little-known ancient town is renowned for being the site of numerous works by renowned contemporary writer Yu Hua, who penned them here. Its quaint, nostalgic, and artistic atmosphere is evident. Small bridges, flowing water, and bluestone slabs create a 1970s and 1980s atmosphere. For dining, visit Shengli Restaurant and Wufangzhai. For fun, visit the Jiangxiang Garden and the winery. For art, visit the Creative Barn. Those who enjoy a nostalgic, petty-bourgeois vibe should definitely check it out.
