2024 Taicang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)
The port city of Taicang, located in the southeastern part of Jiangsu Province, is a typical “land of fish and rice" in the Jiangnan region. Taicang has a long history. It was named so because the King of Wu set up a granary here and “Taicang” means “royal granary.” Taicang has produced talented people throughout the years, including the great writer Zhang Wei, modern physicist Wu Jianxiong, Chinese painting master Zhu Qizhan and several other celebrities. The national first-class port of Taicang has become an integral part of the Shanghai International Shipping Center, and COSCO International City has settled in the development zone in Taicang.

Shaxi Ancient Town
Shanghai's outskirts, far from the city, lies the peaceful and pristine ancient town of Taicang Shaxi
Actually, there is also a Shaxi ancient town in Kunming, but this Shaxi ancient town is far away yet close at hand. It's visible and tangible.
It is located at No. 142 Baiyun Middle Road, Taicang City, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province.
Navigate to the nearby Dongan Road parking lot, about a 10-minute walk away, parking fee is 3 yuan/hour, and 1 yuan for each additional hour.
Ancient town ticket: Free (Tour time requires 1~2 hours)
Here I found a small shop of hand-painted fans, the fans are hand-painted by the boss on the spot, 15 yuan each, the price is reasonable.
The surrounding area is full of small shops owned by locals, there are also pickles made by the old lady herself, small tea houses, and you can also find some old items, etc.
There are many merchants selling local specialties in the middle, such as freshly fried meat floss, cloud cake, lard rice candy, pine nut candy, sugar painting, etc.
There are also many intangible cultural heritage handcrafts hidden in the ancient town, such as wood carving, bamboo weaving, etc. They are all made by the master on the spot, and you can buy them directly if you are interested.
This ancient town has not been fully developed, there are many original residents, basically all in the West Market Street, where the prices are very cheap, locals set up small stalls, 5 yuan/large skewer of candied haw, 10 yuan a large bag of egg rolls, 10 yuan/jin of strawberries, basically no one on weekdays, it feels like having the whole place to yourself.
The ancient architecture here is well preserved, mainly the layout of 'one river, two streets, three bridges, one island', the pace of life in the ancient town is very slow, many residents around sit at the door to chat, far from the tranquility of the city, those who like quiet can come for a walk, suitable for leisure travel! Shaxi Ancient Town
Harbin is too far and too crowded, so this place is very suitable!
If you like skiing, but think that the Northeast and Xinjiang are too far away, then Taicang is very suitable. Club Med Taicang Resort is very close to cities such as Nanjing, Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. It takes about three hours for friends from Nanjing to drive there, and it's even faster by high-speed rail, taking just over an hour, which is very convenient. Club Med Taicang Resort is right next to Taicang Alps Snow World, which has more than 90,000 square meters and is the largest ski resort in East China🎿. Here you can experience the excitement and joy of skiing, and feel the wonderful ice experience brought by the colorful snow entertainment projects.
Here, they use imported snow machines from France, and the indoor temperature is kept between minus 1 degree and 1 degree all year round. There are 5 ski trails with different slopes, the maximum slope is 16%, and the longest snow trail is up to 280m. Both beginners and experienced players can enjoy the joy of high-speed skiing. However, some players complain that the snow trail is not steep enough and not long enough. After all, the indoor is still limited, but I believe that here is the 'invincible' existence in the summer and autumn, because the outdoor ski resort does not open without snow at this time.
In addition to skiing, you can also play ice mirror lake bicycles and snow bumper cars in the snow entertainment area, explore the ice palace, and interact with penguins. You can also go to the Snow Top Bar and Ice Mirror Castle Bar to drink away all the unhappiness. You can also see the light and shadow art exhibition in the resort, play in the camp, take the glacier train, there are really a lot of projects to play!

I had high expectations for my first stay at Clubmed, but the actual experience was average.
I checked in on Sunday. There was only one counter for handling snow tickets, and the speed was relatively slow. There was no GO at check-in.
The check-in time is 3 pm and the check-out time is 11 am (T3 members can delay for 1 hour). In fact, there were no rooms available at 3 pm and I had to wait.
The hotel is very close to Taicang South Station and the Alps Snow World. You can cross the road to the Snow World or go through the corridor on the second floor of the hotel.
Children under 4 years old eat free at the buffet dinner.

The historical and cultural heritage of Shaxi Ancient Town is rich, and it preserves the unique Ming and Qing dying buildings, the deep ancient alleys, the ancient bridges and the former residences of historical and cultural celebrities. The Qipu River, which was excavated in the Song Dynasty, runs through the town. The river is wide and there is an island in the river. It is a major feature of the ancient town of Jiangnan. The ancient houses on both sides of the river are patchwork and row upon row. The streets along the river stretch for 1.5 kilometers, telling the prosperity of Shaxis former trade. There are three ancient stone arch bridges on the river (both Taicang City cultural relics protection units): Liji Bridge, Yongqiao Bridge, and Yixing Bridge, all with typical Qing Dynasty architectural style. Shaxi is also a place where humanities gather. Wu Xiaobang, an outstanding dance master of our country, was born here. He blended dance and life ingeniously and became one of the pioneers of Chinese new dance art. Combined with the traditional culture of the ancient town, Shaxi has carefully created poetry museums, woven pavilions, dance halls, and children's funhouses, so that visitors can enjoy leisure and entertainment as well as some knowledge and culture.
Shaxi is located in the middle of Taicang City, Jiangsu Province, 50 kilometers away from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. The Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway has opened an exit here, only two hours from Shanghai to Shaxi. The ancient town of Shaxi has a long history, unique scenery and rich products. It is known as the Southeast Eighteen Town, Shaxi First Town.
Shaxi Ancient Town, the first thing that comes to mind is Dali, Yunnan, which is a major town on the ancient tea-horse road. However, in Taicang, Jiangsu, not far from Shanghai and Suzhou, there is also an ancient town of Shaxi. Not very famous, there are not many tourists, and no tickets are accepted.
Shaxi Ancient Town is already a village in the Tang Dynasty, and it has a long history than many ancient towns. In the Yuan Dynasty, it became a marketplace, and the Ming Dynasty merchants became a major commercial and trade town. At present, there are more than 600 houses and more than 4,200 houses in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, which are contiguous and fragmented.
Alleys are narrow and long, and from time to time there are local old people living in the alleys slowly coming out. By the time of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the development of industry and commerce, a large number of merchants came into being, and it became a famous commercial and trade town.
The Song Dynasty Fan Zhongyan presided over the Qiputang that runs through the town. The river is wide and there is an olive island in the river. It was cut off when the Xinqipu River was excavated in 1954. There are three ancient stone arch bridges on the river: Liji Bridge, Yongqiao Bridge and Yixing Bridge, all with typical Qing Dynasty architectural style.
Meizu years, the town is booming. Supervising Yu Shi Su Zan's "Yu Shi Fu", Shanxi Road Yu Shi Cao Yu, the Criminal Department Langzhong Ye Yuchun and other officials, have built a government here, the street scene is good, "Shaxi Eight Views", far and near famous. The
stone arch bridge is a good place to enjoy the scenery. There are no cruise ships in the river and the water is calm.
Taicang Park: Ancient charm and modern style, the essence of time.
Stepping into Taicang Park is like opening a heavy history book. The "Haining Temple" of the Song Dynasty and the relics of the Ink Pavilion of the Yuan Dynasty are hidden in the cracks of bricks and stones, telling stories of a thousand years. The charm of Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy still flows in the stele, and the past glory comes to life.
Walking through the park, the winding paths meander through lush greenery, leading to exquisite little worlds. The artificial lake is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the pavilions and towers on the shore, like ink painting. The park is well-equipped and considerate, with a children's play area, colorful slides, and swings, making it a paradise for children. The fitness area has a variety of equipment to meet the daily exercise needs of citizens. Leisure benches are scattered everywhere, with sunshades, allowing you to rest comfortably whether the sun is shining or the rain is falling.
The tomb of Jia Dan stands silently, bearing the wisdom of the water conservancy sages of the past, silently telling the story of time. What's more surprising is that the park is free to enter, and buses 126, 109, and 106 can all reach it. It is also easily accessible by car via the Shanghai-Jiaxing Expressway and the Shenhai Expressway G15. In the hustle and bustle of the city, you can find this quiet place, and steal half a day's leisure between ancient charm and nature.

Taicang Alps Snow World|Like falling into a music box.
Taicang Alps Snow World❄️
Ticket price⭐Really expensive for a ski resort.
Skiing CNY 488+ and snow play (no skiing) CNY 318+ must be purchased separately, and are not all-inclusive. If you want to play both, it costs CNY 800+. This price is really unreasonable.
Lockers cost CNY 30 and are not free?!! Haha, I suggest renting a locker with a friend.
.
Entertainment⭐⭐
CNY 418 only includes 3 hours, plus half an hour to change clothes...
Ski clothes and helmets are free to rent🆓
There are three ski slopes with different gradients. There are not many people. My friend said the magic carpet is very slow. The snow quality is soft for an indoor ski resort, which is suitable for beginners~
.
There is really nothing to play in the snow play area except for a cableway, or a carousel, bumper cars, ice skating, a penguin house (very small), a maze bar (very useless), and snow... The slide is only for people under 150 cm...
For adults, there is only one zipline to play, and the rest are children's projects. My friend has a child who had a great time. It is suitable for children~
.
Transportation⭐⭐⭐⭐
30 minutes by high-speed train from Shanghai, very convenient, only 800 meters from Taicang South Station.
Or drive for an hour and a half.
Environment⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fortunately, it is very clean, the hardware conditions are good, and the scenery is really beautiful. The cabins and 🌲 give the feeling of an enlarged music box.
Photos📸⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very photogenic, easy to take photos.
Overall cost performance⭐⭐⭐
