|Rainy days and film are more matching~. 😂The rain seems to be too much this year, almost drizzling all day long. Nianhua Bay is really suitable for shooting Hanfu. If the weather is good, it will look better. Although rainy days are not as convenient as sunny days, adding a film-like filter is still interesting. If it rains heavily, you might as well hide near the corridor or the stage, take a few photos and rest for a while. The flower sea took a few shots when the rain was small, and it felt more suitable for horizontal pictures, and the flowers were also blooming very vigorously~ Plus, it happens to be the Opera Life Festival in Nianhua Bay recently. In the afternoon, there are traditional opera activities at various check-in points, from Peking Opera, Pingtan to Kunqu Opera, many kinds. Hanfu can be rented inside, I dressed up and went there by myself, because at peak times, changing clothes and styling may need to wait. It takes 2 and a half hours to drive from Shanghai, and parking is 15 a day, which is acceptable.

|Nianhua Bay Tangfeng Town, viewing cherry blossoms is no less than Turtle Head Isle. Nianhua Bay (Tangfeng Zen Town) The full name of the place I went to is Wuxi Lingshan Town·Nianhua Bay, which is a town full of Zen. The entire town is dominated by low-rise antique buildings in the Tang and Song styles, which will give people a feeling of time travel. When I watched 'Legend of the Demon Cat' before, I was moved by the story of Yang Guifei, and I was attracted by the architecture and charm of the Tang Dynasty in the movie, and I couldn't help but watch it twice. When I arrived at Nianhua Bay, it was as if I had jumped into the movie screen. Nianhua Bay Spring Cherry Blossom Viewing Best Route 【Jiedi Road - Pingchang Inn - Zhiyue Alley Cherry Blossom Avenue - Yuntree Sail Shadow Wetland - Lumeng Valley】 This route is very convenient, starting from Jiedi Road from the outside to the inside, the cherry blossoms in different places have different beauty.

Wuxi Nianhua Bay Zen Town is known as the 'Chinese Soul Vacation Destination'. After entering the park, there are complete facilities for eating, drinking, and playing. During the day, you can feel the elegance of the Tang style town, and every photo taken is full of Zen. You can also experience the life of escaping from the city and 'happy copying of sutras'. At the beginning, your hand always shakes, your breath is unstable, and your heart is not calm. In the sound of Zen music, you slowly find the feeling. At night, there are more wonderful performances, such as dreamlike Zen performances. We follow the program list, running from beginning to end, each show is more wonderful than the last. The day is fully scheduled, quite sufficient. Fortunately, we live in the scenic area, after playing, we take the shuttle bus back to the hotel to rest.

One of the free parks in Wuxi - Shangxian River Wetland Park The Shangxian River Wetland Park starts from the Liangtang River in the north and connects to Taihu Lake through the Gonghu Bay Wetland in the south. From north to south, through Wudu Road -> Feng Road -> Zhenze Road -> Qingyan Road -> Qingyuan Road -> Juqu Road -> Gancheng Road, the scenery along the way is endless. Along the east side of Shangxian Road, there are countless park entrances and exits and parking lots, and the wetland areas are built in phases one, two, three, four, and five. The wetlands are wide and there are few visitors, often getting lost among the scattered rivers, ponds, bridges, and trees, wandering back and forth. The first phase of the wetland is the area between Shangxian Lake and Feng Road: The essence of the scenery is here, the circular Shangxian Lake corresponds to the Civic Center Building in the distance, the music fountain is set at the north end of the lake, and the Shangxian Twin Bridges span the river at the south end. The newly renovated Xuntang Ancient Town is embedded in it like a pearl, Wanhe Academy exudes a simple atmosphere, and the Water Garden is as quiet as a virgin

Recently, I had the fortune to visit Nianhua Bay, a town named after the classic story of Mahakasyapa's 'smile upon picking a flower', which left a deep impression on me. As soon as I stepped onto this land, I was attracted by the architectural style here. The buildings, with their Tang and Song dynasty charm, are simple yet elegant, as if they transported me back to that prosperous ancient era. Walking on the streets of the town, it seemed as if I could hear the echoes of history, feeling the tranquility and beauty. Regarding the tickets, I want to remind everyone to book in advance! It costs 150 yuan to buy on the same day, but if you book one day in advance, you can enjoy a discount of 140 yuan. This was a pleasant surprise for me and made me look forward to the trip even more. In Nianhua Bay, I visited several main attractions. First was 'Half Moon Clasping the Sun', where the scenery was intoxicating, as if it was the miraculous sight of the sky meeting the earth. Then, I came to 'Fragrant Moon Flower Street', where the flowers on both sides of the street emitted a charming fragrance, refreshing the mind and spirit. Of course, one should not miss the 'Nianhua Tower'. This tower soars into the clouds, with exquisite carvings on its body, each stroke seemingly telling the story of 'smile upon picking a flower'. Standing under the tower, I felt the tranquility and beauty, as if resonating with Mahakasyapa's smile. Finally, I arrived at 'Smile Square'. There is a huge sculpture on the square, showing the moment of a woman's smile while picking a flower, warm and peaceful, making one feel extremely comfortable and joyful. I strolled around the square, feeling the peace and harmony, as if I had also become a part of this beautiful story. If you also want to experience this beauty, why not take a look at Nianhua Bay?
