庆江南江南菜(昆山招商花园城店)

The restaurant has a very elegant environment. The sweet and sour pork ribs are super delicious. The dishes are not bad. The service is good. I made an appointment with my friends to come again next time.

Forget the crowds! This hidden gem in Wuxi lets you instantly travel back to the Tang and Song dynasties, experiencing the dreamlike beauty of a fusion of Zen and technology. The moment I stepped into Nianhua Bay, I felt transported back to the bustling streets of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. As night fell, thousands of Nianhua lanterns slowly rose, interweaving with the drone show in the night sky to create a breathtaking scene. This isn't Kyoto, but it possesses a richer Tang and Song Dynasty charm than Kyoto; this isn't a fairyland, but it offers a nightscape even more dreamy than a fairyland. Why choose Nianhua Bay? Nianhua Bay is nestled on the shores of Taihu Lake in Wuxi, with Lingshan Mountain at its back and Taihu Lake in front. This unique location allows it to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The town is centered around "Zen," its name inspired by the legend of the Buddha smiling at a flower. Every brick, tile, flower, and tree exudes a rich Zen aesthetic. Most remarkable is its seamless blend of classical Zen and modern technology. During the day, it's a tranquil town steeped in the Tang and Song dynasties, transforming into a dreamlike world of light and shadow at night. Compared to other popular attractions that often see crowds during the National Day holiday, Nianhua Bay offers a more comfortable and engaging experience. How to get there most conveniently? Address: No. 68, Mashan Huanshan West Road, Binhu District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province. Public Transportation: After exiting Wuxi High-Speed ​​Railway Station, walk approximately 200 meters to Wuxi Central Station. From there, take Leyou Line 2, which takes you directly to Nianhua Bay. Operating hours are 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and the fare is 10 RMB per person. By car: Search for "Nianhua Bay Zen Town Parking Lot" on the navigation system. Take the G42 Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway heading towards Shanghai, the G42 Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway heading towards Nanjing, or the G25 Changshen Expressway heading towards Hangzhou. Parking fees range from 10 to 20 RMB per day. Must-see attraction: National Day Limited Edition [Wish with Flowers and Lanterns] (September 30th - October 8th) As night falls, a dazzling display of iron flower crafting, sky lanterns, drones, and fireworks blend together, with hundreds of sky lanterns simultaneously launching into the sky. This is a must-see experience during National Day, so we recommend finding a good spot for photos in advance. [AI Tower Technology Light and Shadow Show] This year marks the 10th anniversary, and the drone show has been specially upgraded with drone-mounted fireworks, creating a new, technologically advanced interpretation of the classic "Smile with Flowers" performance. [Gold Raffle] Scan the TV screen for a chance to win a Chow Tai Fook 10th Anniversary Limited Edition gold commemorative pendant. Don't miss out on such a treasure! Recommended Regular Tour Itinerary Daytime Route: Xiangyue Flower Street → Brahma Flower Sea → Nianhua Pagoda → Wudeng Lake → Yunmen Lawn → Smile Square → Luming Valley Night Performance Route: • 3:30 PM, Wudeng Lake Square: "Flowers in Bloom" • 4:00 PM, Main Street Entrance: "Admiring the Flowers" • 4:40 PM, Brahma Flower Sea: "Deer Playing Among Flowers" • 6:00 PM, Mid-Levels Sun: "Water Curtain Film" • 6:35 PM, Nihua Pagoda: "Tower Lighting Ceremony" • 7:30 PM, Smile Square: "Picking a Flower with a Smile" • 7:45 PM: "Flowers in Bloom" • 8:00 PM, Mid-Levels Sun: "Water Curtain Dance" Explore the Core Attractions Nihua Pagoda: As the town's iconic landmark, it's a perfect spot for photos and selfies. The evening lighting ceremony is particularly stunning, with a light show and ancient music performance that evokes a sense of the Tang Dynasty. The ceremony takes place every half hour from 6:30 PM to 8:20 PM. Brahma Flower Sea: Different flowers bloom in each season, with autumn marking the peak bloom period for cosmos and sunflowers. Photographing amidst the sea of ​​flowers in Hanfu is breathtaking. Wudeng Lake: Enjoy the musical fountain during the day, and the "Flower Blooms Five Petals" light show at night, where lotus lanterns on the lake complement the dancing. Luming Valley: This hidden gem within the town, its bamboo forests, streams, and Tang Dynasty-style teahouses create a tranquil scene. It's worth noting that Luming Valley closes at 5:30 PM, so visiting during the day is recommended. Don't Miss the Zen Experience At Nianhua Bay, you can also experience Zen activities such as copying sutras, flower arrangement, and handmade sachets (some fees apply). Parents with children can also enjoy parent-child pottery and rubbing activities. Hanfu costumes can be rented within the scenic area for around 50-100 yuan per hour. Strolling along the bluestone paths in Hanfu will create truly stunning photos. Recommended Dining: Savor Zen and Jiangnan Flavors Zen Restaurant Paramita: Offers an exquisite vegetarian buffet priced at over 100 RMB per person, with exquisitely presented dishes resembling works of art. The "Lotus Pastry" is especially recommended. Nianhua Xishi: Savor authentic Wuxi soup dumplings, magnolia cakes, and Zen-inspired set meals at a great value. Lu Dexing Noodle House: Serves classic Suzhou-style noodle soups. Recommended dishes include the buttered noodles and fried eel paste. Experience the charm of traditional Jiangnan craftsmanship. Accommodation Guide: Live in the Scenery Accommodations Within the Scenic Area: • Nianhua Inn: Located in the heart of the scenic area, enjoy breathtaking views of Zen from the window. Scenic area entrance fee and shuttle bus included. • Paramita Hotel: The only hotel within the scenic area, offering comprehensive facilities and perfect for families. Accommodation Outside the scenic area: For a better value, we recommend Wuxi Guwan Inn, located near the Lingshan Giant Buddha and offering a tranquil setting. Prices are around 500 RMB. During peak season (such as National Day), it's recommended to book a room one month in advance. Accommodation within the scenic area ranges from 800 to 2,000 yuan per night. Practical Tips 1. Wear comfortable shoes: The town is primarily paved with bluestone, so walking is common. 2. Use the "Nianhua QR Code": The scenic area's mini-program provides access to a real-time map and performance schedule. 3. Bring mosquito repellent: Mosquitoes are more common in the summer, so prepare mosquito repellent spray in advance. 4. Nighttime is the highlight: We recommend staying at least one night to fully experience the night view and performances. 5. Best Seasons: Spring and autumn (March-May and September-November) offer pleasant weather and a sea of ​​flowers in full bloom. The essence of Nianhua Bay lies in "slow travel" and "nighttime appreciation." Here, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and experience the healing power of "a day of Tang Dynasty style, a thousand years of Zen." The moment the Nianhua lanterns light up, all worries dissipate, leaving only a deep sense of peace and joy. #The most asked place in Moments #Ruge's Journey #Hanging out with friends
