Yangxian Kiln Lake Town: A Dreamy Summer Trip

😜If we were to rank the landscapes of Jiangnan, the scenery of Yangxian would definitely be at the top of the pyramid. The title 'Yangxian's Scenery is the Best in Jiangnan' is not an exaggeration😎. This time, I discovered a super treasure summer resort town—Kiln Lake Town, just 1.5 hours away from Hangzhou🎉 🏞Attraction: Kiln Lake Town, Yixing, Jiangsu 🚘Transportation: If driving, just navigate to 'Kiln Lake Town Visitor Center'; if taking public transportation, get off at Yixing Station, which is only 40 minutes from Hangzhou, then take a taxi for about 30 minutes. ⏰Opening Hours: 8:30 - 22:00 Here is a 2-day, 1-night itinerary👇 • 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟏: First, take the bamboo forest train🚂➠then enjoy the water activities at Kiln Lake Bamboo Rat Water Park💦➠and visit the intangible cultural heritage market • 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟐: Take a rowing boat to enjoy the lake scenery🛶➠explore the town thoroughly➠then happily return home There are many fun activities😃 1. Kiln Lake Bamboo Rat Water Park (10:00 - 21:30) In summer, the most unmissable activity is playing in the water💦! There are over 30 projects, including a surfing simulator, enclosed big horn slide, drifting river, and a thousand-person DJ wave pool water battle, allowing you to play from morning till night😜. Both adults and children can enjoy endless water fun here😃! The night session is open until 21:30. 2. Sightseeing Train (9:00 - 21:00) The train departs on the hour, with a total length of 7 kilometers and a journey time of about 50 minutes😉. Riding this train, which looks like it came out of a Hayao Miyazaki manga, you pass through viaducts, tunnels, lakes, bamboo forests, and tea fields, surrounded by greenery🌳, getting up close and personal with Yangxian's scenery. Plus, there's now an air-conditioned train, so you don't have to worry about sweating profusely👏! 3. Rowing Boat (9:00 - 21:30) With white walls and black tiles, green stones, and blue steps, the scenery on both sides is as beautiful as a painting, making you feel like you've fallen into a dream😴. The picturesque scenes of water town life unfold slowly, with the daytime and nighttime scenery each having its own charm🤩 4. Intangible Cultural Heritage Market You can immerse yourself in experiencing food, tea sets, clothing, handicrafts, and more, and watch various wonderful intangible cultural heritage performances, which is simply fantastic👏 5. Intangible Cultural Heritage Single Bamboo Drifting This is an intangible cultural heritage skill from the northern Guizhou region, where performers complete various actions using just two bamboo poles, which is amazing~ No worries about food and accommodation😋 There is a Kiln Lake Grand Hotel in the town, very close to all the attractions, making it convenient to rest when you're tired😜. The hotel features a bright and grand Chinese-style design from the lobby to the rooms. The hotel has different themed Chinese and Western restaurants, and I must praise its buffet, which is very rich in variety and tastes great. There's even unlimited seafood supply🦀! It's no less than a specialized seafood buffet restaurant. Besides these, the town also has barbecue, bakery, market, etc., so you don't have to worry about going hungry😝 Travel tips: 1. There are shops in the Kiln Lake Water Park where you can buy swimsuits or bring your own. Don't forget to bring slippers. You can take a shower, and there are hairdryers available. 2. The temperature is high in summer, so be sure to take precautions against heat and sun! You can bring a handheld fan. 3. The scenic area currently only has the water park, train, and boat built. Some places are not fully completed yet, so consider this if you plan to visit.
