Unlock the Sacred Land of Yanguan Tide Music! The perfect blend of music and millennial tide charm by the Qiantang River

🌊 Who says tide watching is just about watching water? Yanguan offers you a trio of river water, music, and history! This freshly released guide will help you explore a different kind of tide city, so be sure to save it~ ⏰ Best Time to Watch the Tide · The best periods to watch the tide are from the 1st to the 6th and the 15th to the 20th of the lunar calendar, with the tide around the 18th day of the eighth lunar month being especially spectacular. · It is recommended to check the tide forecast in advance and arrive at the tide-watching spot at least 40 minutes to 1 hour early. · 📍 Tide Viewing Park is the classic spot to enjoy the "One-Line Tide." · ⚠️ Please pay close attention to safety, follow the park regulations, do not climb over railings, and obey on-site broadcast instructions. 🎵 Immerse Yourself in a World of Music · 🏨 Lead Singer Music Resort Hotel: More than just accommodation, it’s an experience! The hotel design incorporates musical elements, and some rooms offer river views. The infinity pool on the 5th floor overlooks the Qiantang River, with especially beautiful scenery at sunset. · 🎻 Music Home Museum (located on the hotel’s basement level): Asia’s first interactive music experience museum. Here, you can "converse" with musicians through holographic technology and even try being a virtual conductor—perfect for family fun! 📜 A Journey Through Millennia of Culture 1. Chen Ge’s Old Residence: Explore the mansion of Qing Dynasty Prime Minister Chen Yuanlong and hear folk legends about Emperor Qianlong’s origins. 2. Haishen Temple: Built by imperial decree of Emperor Yongzheng, this grand temple is known as the "Little Forbidden City of Jiangnan." Its red walls and white marble archways are very photogenic. 3. Wang Guowei’s Former Residence: Experience the childhood environment of this master of Chinese studies, full of literary charm. 4. Confucius Temple and Academy: With red walls and black tiles arranged in a neat layout, it’s a great spot for photos and to soak in traditional culture. 📸 Stunning Photo Spots Recommended · ➀ Tide Viewing Park: Capture breathtaking shots with the Zhan’ao Tower and the rushing "One-Line Tide" as your backdrop. · ➁ Lead Singer Hotel 5th Floor Terrace: Capture the sunset blending river and sky in the evening. · ➂ Haishen Temple Red Walls: Wear Hanfu or plain clothes and shoot a series of dramatic light-and-shadow photos against the red walls. · ➃ Gongchen Gate: The 600-year-old ancient city gate paired with water scenery offers a rich atmosphere. 😋 Taste of Yanguan · Clay Pot Pork: Dongpo pork stewed in a ceramic pot, rich but not greasy, a local specialty. · Banquet Balls: Fish-based ball-shaped delicacies with a tender texture. · Yan Jing Cake: Traditional glutinous rice cake from the ancient town, sweet and soft. · Recommended Shops: Look out for "Qianlong Restaurant" inside the ancient city or the time-honored shops on the style street. 🚗 Practical Transportation Information · Self-driving: Navigate to "Yanguan Ancient City" or "Tide Viewing Park." It takes about 1 hour from Hangzhou by car. · High-speed Rail: Arrive at "Haining West Station," then transfer by bus or taxi to the scenic area (about 20 minutes by taxi). · Bus: Take Haining bus lines 109, 332, etc., to reach near the scenic area. 💡 Warm Tips · The scenic area is large; you can take a paid shuttle bus to save energy. · In summer, protect yourself from sun and mosquitoes by the river; in autumn and winter, dress warmly and guard against wind. · Follow official information for occasional night performances, markets, and other events. ✨ Suggested Itineraries · One-day Highlights Tour: Tide Viewing Park → Haishen Temple → Confucius Temple and Academy → Chen Ge’s Old Residence → Music Home Museum. · Two-day Immersive Tour: · Day 1: Arrive at noon, check in → watch the tide → night tour of the ancient city or join music-themed activities. · Day 2: Wang Guowei’s Former Residence → Jin Yong Academy → ride part of the Baili Qiantang Ecological Greenway → return trip.
