||Yixing Yao Lake Town is located in Yangxian Ecotourism Resort, which is known as the "Natural Oxygen Bar in China". It is the origin of "purple clay teapot" and is known as the "ancient capital of pottery, world of caves, oasis of tea, and sea of bamboo". Su Dongpo's poem "Buy a field in Yangxian, I will be old, from the beginning, just for the good of the stream and the mountain" is not exaggerated at all. The white walls and black tiles of the houses, the winding alleys, the rippling lake water... all are beautiful!

"I will grow old in Tianyang, only because of the beautiful mountains and rivers." Here, with white walls and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water, you can take a boat on the lake and look into the distance at the mountains, or take a small train through the thousands of acres of bamboo forests and tea fields, and experience the endless charm of intangible cultural heritage. Most of the buildings are in the style of Jiangnan water towns. The town is built on a small hill beside the reservoir, with varying heights and staggered layouts. There are large water wheels, ancient houses, and ancient streets and alleys in Jiangnan water towns, all of which are great places to take photos. The ancient Ding Shu kilns, which have been passed down from the Ming Dynasty, have also been replicated here. Walking through the ancient town, one or two original intentions, two or three Qinghuan, three or two gentleness, four or two leisure, brewing a light and light time! 🚉 Transportation guide: Take the high-speed rail to "Yixing Station", take a taxi for 30 minutes, or drive to Yaohu Town Visitor Center. 1.5 hours by car from Hangzhou, 2.5 hours by car from Shanghai 💰 Tickets: Town tickets 60, plus water park joint tickets 160 👍 Check-in attractions 1) Bamboo Rat Water Park With the local specialty "bamboo rat" as the theme, there are more than 30 indoor and outdoor play items, and there are night shows until 21:30, which is a good place to go in the hot summer 2) Intangible Cultural Heritage Market When I went there, I happened to encounter a grand event showcasing and experiencing traditional Chinese culture.
