Traveling to Yixing is not only beautiful but also affordable.

Budget Travel in Wuxi and Yixing: Discover the Charm of Jiangnan Water Towns The meaning of travel may lie in those unexpected discoveries and moments that make your heart skip a beat and stop in your tracks. This time, we embarked on a journey from Hangzhou to Yixing, and along the way, we were filled with joy and touched by the experiences we encountered. On the first day, we took a high-speed train from Ningbo to Hangzhou. The hustle and bustle of the city seemed to pause here, replaced by the rare tranquility along the river. Our group arrived at the city terrace, and it felt as if the whole world slowed down. The gentle river breeze blew away the fatigue of the journey and brought a sense of peace to our hearts. The sunset reflected on the river, shimmering with light, and at that moment, we felt as if we had become part of this beautiful scenery, a part of the painting. On the second day, we drove to Yixing, embarking on a brand-new journey. Our first stop was Taoer Factory, which not only boasts unique architectural styles but also rich cultural connotations. The teapot exhibition inside the factory opened our eyes to the world of teapots, with their diverse shapes and exquisite designs, perfectly combining art and everyday life. We eagerly picked up our cameras to capture these rare moments. Leaving Taoer Factory, we arrived at Gunan Street. This narrow and long street is lined with small workshops where artisans are busy making Zisha teapots. The houses here are closely connected, as if telling the ancient stories of Jiangnan water towns. Strolling along Gunan Street, we felt as if we had traveled back in time, experiencing the ancient and simple charm. Finally, we reached Dachao Mountain's Little Great Wall. Although only three kilometers long, this Little Great Wall offered us a unique experience. The uphill sections were a bit challenging, but when we reached the top and looked back at the path we had taken, a sense of accomplishment welled up within us. The vegetarian meal inside the Little Great Wall also surprised us with its simplicity and deliciousness, leaving a lasting impression. During this trip, we not only admired the beautiful scenery but also felt the profound cultural heritage of Jiangnan water towns. Every place has its unique story, and every journey is a spiritual cleansing. We look forward to our next departure, anticipating more beauty and touching moments.

Yixing is not only famous for its purple clay teapots during a 2-day and 1-night trip, but also has a little-known secret spot!

Okay, I admit that I can't afford to go to Badaling, but the small Great Wall is also pretty good
