    Today I had a day trip to Nianhua Bay in Wuxi, a 5A-level scenic area, and I really enjoyed it. First of all, the scenery is beautiful; every step reveals a new view. Entering the park immediately evokes a poetic and picturesque atmosphere—truly a Zen-like town. Secondly, there are many simple interactive activities, such as reciting ancient poems, practicing Tai Chi, and copying scriptures. There are also many performances, with a list available on a mini-program, including Sichuan opera face-changing performances, Kunqu opera, musical fountains, and a tower-lighting ceremony. There are shows along the way. What impressed me most was the combination of iron flower fireworks, releasing sky lanterns, and an AI drone show. These three activities were perfectly integrated, offering both interactivity and visual appeal, while also being environmentally conscious (the sky lanterns are not disposable but recycled and reused). The entrance fee is a bit pricey at 150 yuan per person. I recommend staying inside the scenic area for multiple entries and to enjoy the evening shows later. Parking is very cheap at 15 yuan per visit. Nianhua Bay also offers an annual pass, but unfortunately, I live a bit far from the area; otherwise, I would have gotten one and visited more often.

    Although it was a bit late, I didn't see much of the intricacies of the gardens. I think we should have hired a guide. However, the design of these gardens is indeed ingenious. They must be very beautiful in late autumn and early spring.

    The Chinese-style horror is indeed amazing, but it's more suitable for older children. It's not very friendly to children under 120cm, as there are many height restrictions, which is a bit of a shame. The park is very large, and there are many very friendly NPCs. I'll definitely come back when my child is older.

    Tongli Chronicles: A Jiangnan Dream of Sleeping by the Water Walking along the cobblestone streets of Tongli with an oil-paper umbrella, one is immediately transported into a flowing Jiangnan ink painting. Here, there is no urban hustle and bustle, only small bridges and flowing water winding around houses, the gentle sound of oars echoing through the deep alleys; time seems to slow down. The soul of Tongli lies in its water. The crisscrossing waterways are the veins of the ancient town, the flowing water carrying a thousand years of stories, slowly passing by the doorways of every household. Boarding a black-awning boat, the boatwoman rows, pushing aside layers of emerald waves, and the white walls and black tiles, carved beams and painted rafters on both banks slowly recede into the distance. Red lanterns hang from the windows facing the river; a gentle breeze stirs them, their light and shadow falling on the water, shattering into shimmering gold foil. Occasionally, a woman washing clothes can be heard, speaking in soft Wu dialect, her gentle voice blending with the sound of the water, creating the most beautiful Jiangnan melody. The charm of Tongli lies in its bridges. Hidden within the ancient town are forty-nine ancient bridges, each with its own story. The "Three Bridges"—Taiping Bridge, Jili Bridge, and Changqing Bridge—are considered auspicious by the people of Tongli; they are a place to walk across for weddings and births, to share in the joy. Stepping onto the quaint stone slab bridge, holding onto the weathered stone railings, watching the boats come and go below, and the willows swaying on the banks, one suddenly understands the meaning of "small bridge, flowing water, and a family home"—not a poem, but the ordinary scene before one's eyes. The flavor of Tongli resides in the depths of its alleyways. When tired, turn into a narrow alley, find a small shop facing the street, order a plate of water chestnut cake—soft, glutinous, and sweet; a bowl of crispy fried dough sticks—crispy and crumbly; and try the Zhuangyuan pig's trotters—bright red in color, tender and flavorful. Steam rises from the shop's stove, and old neighbors sit in their doorways, basking in the sun and chatting. The aroma of cooking mingles with the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms, filling the air and making one want to slow down and immerse oneself in the leisurely pace of Jiangnan. As dusk settles, red lanterns light up one after another, transforming Tongli. The river is tinged with a warm red, and the shadows of the bridge, trees, and lanterns overlap, creating a hazy and gentle scene. Find a riverside inn to stay in, where the flowing water is right outside your window, and you can fall asleep to the sound of oars. In your dreams, you'll still see those bluestone slabs.

    Highly recommended! Even without entering the paid areas, the free areas are already breathtaking. Although I did some basic research, seeing so many ancestral halls dedicated to ancient sages is still incredibly awe-inspiring. The spirit of Chinese civilization is embodied here: Taibo, Zhang Xun, Fan Zhongyan, Zhang Zai, Li Gang…
