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.
Yixing Parent-Child Tour, a non-powered paradise for stream tracing and water play
⏰Day2
Since we stayed in a homestay near the Bamboo Sea the previous night, we got up leisurely the next day and arrived at the Yixing Bamboo Sea. There were still many people, and we had to queue to enter.
At the entrance, we got a map🗺️. There was a special plan for May Day, with celestial officials touring and entering the painting. We could get a stamp at the scroll location, and celestial officials gave us Bamboo Sea souvenir postcards. Our family of three got three cards.
🅿️Tourist car route
Starting station (main gate) - Cableway station (amusement park) - Puhu Tan station - Sea bottom station (mountain entrance) → Puhu Tan station (→ Final station (main gate))
We didn't take the sightseeing car but walked slowly instead, slowly appreciating the beauty of the bamboo forest. It was really comfortable in the mountains, with clear water that you could see to the bottom. It's truly a summer retreat.
🌈Check-in spots:
🎋Bamboo Sea Mirror Lake
The lake and mountains are beautiful, with gentle ripples on the clear water, like a mirror. The pavilion in the center of the lake is also particularly poetic.
🛶Suspension Bridge Lingbo
A group of people on the shaky suspension bridge, feeling the thrill of being surrounded by the bamboo sea and the lake and mountains.
⛰️The First Peak of Southern Jiangsu - Yunnvfeng
The mountains are stacked, giving a feeling of overlooking all the other mountains.
🎡Cableway station children's non-powered playground
This is a paradise for children, with cute Wubao-shaped slides, climbing ropes, swings, etc. The children play until they don't want to leave.
🍦Wubao Cultural and Creative Ice Cream
We checked in with Bamboo Treasure, Berry Girl, and Tea Grandpa ice creams, cute and delicious, 16 yuan each.
⛲️Puhu Tan Waterfall
This waterfall is so beautiful. Standing next to it, you can also feel the fun of being splashed by the dense waterfall water on your clothes. If you go further, the fish scale dam stream tracing and water play also make the children reluctant to think of home.
🌿Bamboo Sea Mountain Climbing
Every few steps, the children were amazed by the bamboo shoots breaking through the soil. Some had already grown into large bamboo, so spectacular!
🍁Little Train
Who would have thought! Red maple with a red little train, it's so photogenic, a must-check-in!
📍Yixing Bamboo Sea, Zhuhai Village, Huzhou Town, Yixing City, Jiangsu Province
🎫Ticket: 70 yuan per adult, half price for children over 140cm
Regarding children's tickets, it is suggested that the scenic area make improvements. We adults had bought tickets in advance, but we still had to queue up on site to buy tickets for the children. On holidays, there are many people, which really delays time!
⛰️Ways to go up the mountain:
Hiking🚶🏻 '1.5h up the mountain, 1h down the mountain'
You can take the sightseeing car right after entering the gate, which takes you to the foot of the mountain, saving energy for climbing. The cable car🚡 is under maintenance and will not be available until National Day.
🍜Food:
There are simple lunches like fried rice, instant noodles, and wontons in the park. I had a delicious black rice meal made by an old lady at the entrance of the Bamboo Sea, and I also bought bamboo shoots for 2 yuan per jin on the roadside.
We walked slowly, slowly feeling the tranquility and beauty of the Bamboo Sea. Because we brought a child, it took us 6-7 hours to finish our two-day and one-night parent-child tour. Returning to Suzhou, we detoured through Huzhou, with no traffic jams, and arrived home smoothly.

This summer, I was recommended by friends to a lesser-known vacation spot hidden in the bamboo forests - the treasure of Yixing, with few people and beautiful scenery✨✨, and plenty of fun activities.
It's really close; just 30min by high-speed train from Hangzhou, 🌈🌈 and only 2h from Shanghai.
Yixing is a typical Jiangnan town, 💦💦 with mountains, water, bamboo forests, and intangible cultural heritage.
The largest bamboo forest in East China is located in this small city, 💦💦 offering a cool retreat in summer with an explosion of negative oxygen ions.
Known as the 'Corn Capital of Jiangnan', it boasts an abundance of delicious food😍😍 that makes you want to stay forever.
The commercial atmosphere is not too strong, still retaining the simplicity and natural beauty of Jiangnan😜😜.
In the Yixing area, I've also uncovered a vacation spot for everyone - the Yada Yangxianxi Mountain Town💎💎.
There are places like the purple clay teapot, Yada Fitness Center, academy, cinema, theater, 🏩🏩 and boutique hotels.
No need to choose for travel, just one click to start a 'pottery-style' leisure vacation in Yixing that can satisfy children's desire to play🍀🍀🍀 Yixing Longyinxi Mountain Hotel

Yixing Longyin Stream and Mountain Hotel🏮 A national-style hotel, low-key and restrained with a sense of high-class Chinese style. The hotel provides a business car shuttle service, room intelligent voice control, perfectly blending modern convenience with the elegance of ancient charm.
When night falls, you can gaze at the Dongpo Pavilion not far away from your room, and wake up in the morning by the Yangxian Lake amidst the lush mountains like an ink painting. I instantly understood why Mr. Su Dongpo loved Yangxian so much.

Dajue Temple Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
I thought Suzhou was already beautiful until I visited Yixing
🚆Hangzhou high-speed train 40min Direct to this hidden gem of a small city, which has always been 🔹seriously underrated! Not only is it less crowded here, but the scenery is also nice, and there are many cultural sites.
🔹If you're still worrying about the crowds during the May Day holiday, consider
coming here for a visit, you might be pleasantly surprised.
📍Yixing
🚆Hangzhou 45min, Nanjing 34min
🚘Hangzhou 2.5h, Nanjing 2h
💠Day1: Longbei Mountain Forest Park, Shushan Ancient South Street, Yada Yangxian Town
💠Day2: Dajue Temple, Yunhu Longchi Mountain Bicycle Park
📍Longbei Mountain Forest Park
The first stop I chose was Longbei Mountain, the closest to the high-speed train station. Here you can find the metasequoia lawn, blue windmills, and a dreamy Ferris wheel. It's not only less crowded and photogenic, but everywhere you look is a green wonderland, very relaxing.
📍Shushan Ancient South Street
It has the feel of a small river straight street, but it's more quaint and quiet, with a stronger sense of old street culture. The block is not big, but besides being photogenic, it's also known as 'Purple Sand One Street', where the shops are full of unassuming purple sand artists, allowing you to feel a unique cultural heritage.
📍Yada Yangxian Town
A secluded forest town with beautiful lake and mountain views. Don't miss the very bluesy Dongpo Pavilion, which has a great aerial photography spot! The town's restaurants are also deliciously surprising~
📍Dajue Temple Yunhu
Yixing's stunning temple, known as the 'Little Potala Palace', with its orange and white colors and layered architecture is very photogenic. Not only is it free, but you can also eat vegetarian meals, drink coffee, and there's Yunhu Park opposite, which is worth a visit if you have time.
On May Day, I participated in the Dajue Temple Vegetarian Expo, which featured various
'World Famous Vegetarian Dishes'. Friends who like vegetarian food should not miss it. Treasure Yixing, in addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, you can also visit Dajue Temple's fair~

✨Follow me
📷To provide you with more travel photography and fun strategies
You're being foolish if you don't promote these places in Yixing tourism
After arriving in Yixing, I discovered so many hidden gem attractions
The 'Little Potala Palace' with its golden dome and white walls, the picturesque Yunhu Lake, and the peaceful and comfortable Zhuting Manor, far from the hustle and bustle of the city...
Reverse travel during the May Day holiday, coming to the less crowded and more beautiful Yixing is the right choice.
✅One-day tour route🗺️: Dajue Temple — Yunhu Lake — Xinzhen Tea Field
▪️Dajue Temple
It's no wonder it's called Yixing's 'Little Potala Palace'
The architecture is so distinctive, it feels like Tibet
There is a vegetarian fair here every year, and this year is the ninth
Be sure to bring family and friends to visit
Dozens of vegetarian stalls, so many special snacks
The tastes are also good, I really like the vegetarian burger🍔

The mountains are clear and the water is beautiful, the scenery is pleasant
It's so suitable for a relaxing vacation
▪️Xinzhen Tea Field
There are large tea gardens🍵 here, great for taking photos
Also stumbled upon a rose wall, very photogenic
A one-day tour of Yixing: Dajue Temple
Afternoon, we drove directly from the Bamboo Sea scenic area to Dajue Temple. You must drive here, especially during the New Year period when it's crowded and the roadside is filled with parked cars. The temple's parking lot was also full, so we chose a parking lot more than 2 kilometers away from the temple and then walked there, which was quite tiring If you go during a normal time, it's not so crowded and you can drive directly to the temple's parking lot.
The temple does not require incense burning or an entrance fee. The Guanyin Hall was newly built in recent years. To get from the Guanyin Hall to the Mahavira Hall, you need to walk a bit further. Inside the Mahavira Hall, Master Xingyun is enshrined. I sponsored a lamp in the Mahavira Hall for a year and added a brick in the Guanyin Hall, while my mother added a tile. The temple is quite large as it is located in the mountains, which gives a very comfortable feeling. It is recommended for Buddhist friends as it's definitely worth a visit
