Wuxi Nianhua Bay

Yesterday I was chatting about my trip to Wuxi with a friend who had just been there. He emphasized that if you go to Wuxi, you must visit Lingshan Giant Buddha and Nianhua Bay. So according to him, even if it costs more than 200 yuan to take a taxi from the city to and from the city, I have to go and see the beauty of these two places: Nianhua Bay. I personally feel that it is a very successful tourism real estate project, because the scenery here is newly built, and Nianhua Bay has set up many check-in spots with Internet celebrity attributes: lantern festival, sea of ​​flowers, moon... Because I went there for a quick visit during the day, but these facilities are obviously intended to highlight the luxury of the night. The Zen theme of Nianhua Bay restores a Tang city surrounded by green water. Some say it is Japanese style, but I think Tang City is more appropriate. I personally feel that there are three best views of Nianhua Bay: 1. The Tang-style street view brought by the Nianhua Tower; 2. The tranquility and elegance given by a large number of courtyard inns; 3. The agility and beauty brought by the green water surrounding it... Of course, the beautiful scenery here at night is still unknown, but the Zen details and clean streets still make it an ideal holy place...

Lingshan Town·Nianhua Bay is a world-class Zen travel and holiday destination. It is another masterpiece of Lingshan Group after Brahma Palace and the permanent venue of the World Buddhist Forum.

The Zen of Nianhua Bay is the Zen of real life. Whether you are drinking tea, walking, copying scriptures, meditating, or daydreaming on the carved railings, lazily basking in the afternoon sun, smelling the sweet fragrance of flowers and plants under the sun, all the scenes are created by the mind. "I am too lazy to spend my time with ordinary people, and brush the mirror. I pick up flowers and smile, and the breeze comes slowly." It is exactly the most true portrayal.

Overall, I feel that the architecture and night view of Xiangyue Flower Street are more attractive to me. This time I came mainly to enjoy the cherry blossoms. I was disappointed that I didn't see many cherry blossoms. Later, as I walked, my heart calmed down. I sat down to drink a cup of tea and watched the pedestrians on the street. Time suddenly slowed down. It's nice to come here to walk without a destination when you have time. It's quiet and comfortable.

In recent years, Nianhua Bay has been very popular. It is called the Little Kyoto in China. It is actually a Japanese-style ancient town. The ticket is 120 yuan. It is not cheap. You can buy it on TB in advance.

Avoid weekends and the Qingming Festival in early April and travel during off-peak hours! I don't know if it was because of the weather, but I felt bored after staying there for an afternoon. 🌸The cherry blossoms were scarce. Fortunately, I persisted until the evening🌃.

There were also various performances and lights at night. We also participated in activities such as copying scriptures and releasing lotus lanterns.

There are not many foods in the scenic area, and the prices are quite expensive.

I didn't stay there, and there were a lot of black cars outside the door at night. Since I lived not far from the foot of Lingshan Giant Buddha, I called Didi, which was very convenient.

Every brick and tile, every mountain and stone in Nianhua Bay, a small town in Lingshan, has been meticulously designed by craftsmen. Walking on the streets of the small town, passing by the quaint shops, it feels like going back to the Tang and Song dynasties. There are no noisy crowds or hawkers shouting, but you can faintly hear the soothing sound of the guzheng coming from afar.

Self-driving

Shanghai direction - Wuxi Lingshan Scenic Area G42 Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway → Wuxi North Interchange → S48 Shanghai-Yixing Expressway → Luqu Mashan Exit → Lingshan Scenic Spot (the whole journey takes about 1.5 hours);

Nanjing direction - Wuxi Lingshan Scenic Area G42 Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway → Wuxi North Interchange → S48 Shanghai-Yixing Expressway → Luqu Mashan Exit → Lingshan Scenic Spot (the whole journey takes about 2 hours);

Hangzhou direction - Wuxi Lingshan Scenic Area Shangtang Road Elevated Road → G25 (Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway) → S48 Xiyi Expressway → Luqu Mashan Exit → Lingshan Scenic Spot (the whole journey takes about 1.5 hours);

This time I came to Wuxi Nianhua Bay. It is a very artistic place. Although it is man-made, I really like it. It is especially suitable for couples and family travel. There are many people. I went in at 11 o'clock in the morning and played until more than 8 o'clock in the evening. It is best to buy a sightseeing bus ticket at the door, 30 yuan per ticket, so that you won't be too tired after a day of playing. The small train is very cute! Just walk around during the day, relax, take pictures, and watch the lanterns at night. You have to pay attention to the time of the lanterns because there are really a lot of people. The food inside is not cheap or expensive, but it is acceptable!

The scenic area is dominated by Japanese Nara-style buildings, and the most outstanding is the night view of the scenic area; there is the lighting ceremony of the Nianhua Pagoda, the lotus of Wudeng Lake, and the big moon in the Brahma Sea of ​​Flowers; when I went there during the Qingming Festival, the cherry blossoms were almost all gone, and the flow of tourists was particularly large, which affected the viewing experience; if there are not too many people, it is quite nice to stay in the Nianhua B&B for a night and watch the lights and the scenery~

Lingshan Town·Nianhua Bay is located between the mountains and waters of Mashan National Scenic Area in Binhu District, Wuxi City. It has always been known as "pure sky, pure land, and clean water" with beautiful ecology and superior environment. Nianhua Bay is close to the mountains and faces the lake, and is adjacent to the world-famous Lingshan Giant Buddha. It can be said that it has the spiritual energy of heaven, earth and humanity.

Nianhua Bay is more than 20 kilometers away from Wuxi city. We took Leyou No. 2 from Meiyuan Bus Station and went directly to Nianhua Bay. The ticket was 10 yuan per person. In winter, the scenery of the sea of ​​flowers is a bit inferior to that of Nianhua Bay, but it still has some characteristics. The ticket price of 120 yuan per person is a bit not worth it. It was 80 yuan per person when booked online one day in advance. It is said that the night view here is good, and it is beautiful to take pictures after the lights are turned on at night. However, it is still relatively cold here in winter, so we didn’t wait to see the night view, but just walked around during the day. Half a day is enough in winter

Lingshan Town·Nianhua Bay is located between the mountains and waters of Mashan National Scenic Area in Binhu District, Wuxi City. It is another masterpiece of Lingshan Group after Lingshan Brahma Palace after five years of construction. It opened on November 14, 2015. It has always been known as "pure sky, pure land, and pure water", with beautiful ecology and superior environment. Nianhua Bay is close to the mountains and faces the lake, and is adjacent to the world-famous Lingshan Giant Buddha. It can be said that it has the spiritual energy of heaven, earth and humanity.

When you arrive at Nianhua Bay, it is recommended that you enter at 3 or 4 in the afternoon and leave at around 8 pm, so that you can enjoy the beautiful scenery from day to dusk to night. However, if you live in Nianhua Bay, it doesn’t matter. You can also see the sunrise in the early morning and the quiet scenery of the empty streets. You can buy tickets online in advance, which is estimated to be 10-15 yuan cheaper per person. Remember to get a tourist map at the entrance, which will include the time of the evening light show. You can arrive at the performance venue 10 minutes in advance according to the time above to occupy a good position for taking photos.

As soon as you enter Nianhua Bay, you will be greeted by the beautiful scenery of small bridges, flowing water and water mist. The landscape designer placed sprayers on both sides of the flowing water to create a hazy atmosphere of Zen meditation. I have to say that this method is very clever, but it is also very effective. The aunties who entered together exclaimed one after another.

The central landmark building of the Nianhua Tower, which can be seen from anywhere in the town, will have a lighting ceremony with 3D projection at night~

There are more than 10 accommodations in Nianhua Bay, distributed in the area outside the main street. The construction style is somewhat similar to that of Wuzhen. In addition to boutique high-end holiday villas, there are also exquisite and small inns to choose from. The room rate starts from 500-600 yuan in the off-season and starts from 1,000 yuan in the peak season, and it is difficult to find a room. However, if you have plenty of time, it is strongly recommended to stay there for a night and slowly feel the atmosphere of the town.

As night falls, the lights of the whole town light up, and the scenery is completely different from that during the day.

Ticket price: Full ticket is 120 yuan, half ticket is 60 yuan, online ticket is about 85-90 yuan, book in advance for a discount. How to get to Nianhua Bay from Lingshan? Bus 10 yuan per person, taxi 50 yuan, private car 40 yuan

It is better for 4 people to take a taxi. The bus runs about every 40 minutes.

Sightseeing bus in the scenic area: 30 yuan per person small train, the entire scenic area is about 3 hours walking. Although there are no flowers in autumn and winter, it is still beautiful.

I feel that most of the Nianhua Bay is in the style of Japanese dry landscape, and the color configuration of the plants inside is great. There are also many hotels to stay in, and staying for one night is also a great choice. The light show at night is said to be beautiful, but it's a pity that I didn't have time to see it. Overall feeling: Nianhua Bay is pretty good. Although it is a man-made point, it's pretty good to walk around and take pictures. But it needs to be more beautiful during the flowering period and at night.

Nianhua Bay in Lingshan Town is adjacent to Lingshan Scenic Spot. Due to the National Day holiday, there were many people and traffic jams. I was exhausted when I arrived, but as soon as I entered the town, I was healed by the Brahma flower sea. In autumn, the cosmos in the Brahma flower sea blooms wantonly, and the splendor is intoxicating.

The style of Nianhua Bay Town is antique, with Zen as the theme, which is very similar to Kyoto, Japan. Nianhua Bay has the style of Tang and Song dynasties, elegant and simple, and every brick and tile is designed by the craftsmen almost crazily and carefully, even the moss that can be seen everywhere is carefully selected.

From a tile, a clump of moss, a row of fences, a bamboo forest, from the buildings full of Tang and Song style and the exquisite and simple Zen decorations, we can see the intentions of this Zen town.

Every step brings a new view. It is a very suitable place for taking photos. I always feel like I am in Kyoto.



Many shops are antique and charming. You can watch tea artists brew tea in the tea house, smell the Buddhist charm of agarwood in the incense house, listen to the crisp sounds of porcelain in the Zen porcelain house, appreciate the colorful flower art in the flower house, daydream in the cafe, and buy handicrafts in the handicraft shop.

Nianhua Bay is gorgeous at night. The town has a unique flavor when the lights come on and it is bustling with people.

There are many teahouses, Zen restaurants, coffee shops and local restaurants in the town, as well as many unique Zen walking activities. You can choose a good time next time to experience them.

In March, cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the phrase "the most beautiful place in Taihu Lake" attracts countless tourists to Yuantouzhu. Little do they know that there is an ancient town on the edge of Taihu Lake. Although the number of cherry blossoms is not as good as Yuantouzhu, the scenery is not inferior.

Nianhua Bay is named after the classic story of Buddha picking up a flower and Kasyapa smiling at the Lingshan Conference. Nianhua Bay and Lingshan Scenic Spot belong to the same Lingshan Group. This linkage is quite poetic.

If you have three days to travel, you can stay in Nianhua Bay for one night and Lingshan Shengjing for one night, and visit the two attractions in series. If you have more time, you can consider taking Yuantouzhu and other Wuxi city attractions.

Nianhua Bay is quite fun, with flower viewing, experience, performances, boat trips, and photos...

In addition to the cherry blossom season every year, the Brahma sea of ​​flowers is also a stunning sight when it is in full bloom.

If I were to say what surprised me the most during this trip, it would be Nianhua Bay. Perhaps it was the cherry blossom season. The buildings, flowers, trees, and ladies in Hanfu here are all places worth checking in. Perhaps in China, there is no other place that combines Zen and life like this.



When you come to Nianhua Bay, I recommend staying in the small villas there. They are cheaper than the official hotels, and the environment is comfortable. I chose to arrive on Sunday, and a family room (theoretically can sleep 4-5 people) is only 350 yuan/night, which is quite affordable. The point is that the self-driving experience is very good. You can drive directly to the underground parking lot under the hotel and take the elevator to the room, without taking the shuttle bus in the scenic area.

The main purpose of this trip to Wuxi is to visit Nianhua Town. I have heard a little about the antique buildings here before. This time, I not only stayed here for one night, but also wanted to feel the different atmosphere during the day and at night and have a good leisure time! The tickets were booked on China-TravelNote before, and the discount tickets for the elderly can be bought at the ticket gate of the scenic spot.



Nianhua Bay during the day is a good time to see the architectural style. The Brahma Flower Sea during the day is also a place worth seeing. Xiangyue Flower Street also has its own scenery during the day. Of course, Nianhua Tower is still a little dim during the day, and the big lotus in Wudeng Lake has a stronger plastic feel, but all of these appear very harmonious here.

The overall architectural style of the town is very similar to that of Nara in Japan, and it also incorporates the unique water system of Jiangnan towns in China, creating a unique architectural style. There are about 27 inns in the entire scenic area, and each inn has a Zen-like name. The one we stayed in is called "Ban Chuang Shu Ying". The lights are dim and the shadows are hazy. From the window lattices, lamps to tea cups, everything is simple. Green leaves and pink flowers grow in pairs, and every blade of grass and tree is mottled with years.

Nianhua Bay is a major tourist attraction in Wuxi and is definitely worth visiting. I especially recommend staying in an inn or hotel there.

Each hotel offers unlimited rides on the train to tour the park. The trains are cute and colorful, and there are also Thomas-shaped trains.

Tickets can be purchased online in advance, with various packages available at a great discount. Tickets purchased on site are 120 yuan per person, regardless of time.

Enter at 9:30 in the morning, participate in various workshops, copy scriptures, watch performances, eat and rest, stroll around, and stay until after 7 o'clock in the evening.

Don't worry about being bored, you can really sit down and enjoy the various attractions inside, but it will be very, very, very crowded after 5 pm! (Night tickets can also be purchased separately)

I strongly recommend everyone to go and play~~~~ Pay attention to sun protection and umbrella in summer

It was dusk when I first arrived at Nianhua Bay. I thought there wouldn't be much to see, but it turned out to be a different world. The Brahma flower sea was so beautiful in the sunset, the Luming Valley was also very quiet and charming, and the town was even more lively, with great singing, dancing and light shows!

The scenery is quite beautiful, and the full ticket bought on site for 120 yuan is still worth it.

If you come to Nianhua Bay, you should visit it during the day and at night, otherwise it will not be a complete trip. If it is just a daytime tour, I think it is definitely not worth it. But after adding the nighttime programs and various light shows, it is still very satisfying.

A great place to visit.

It was definitely worth the trip. The two ladies who were originally suffering from motion sickness forgot everything once they arrived. They were not tired even when walking. They kept saying it was so beautiful, like being in a fairyland. It was very cost-effective and the whole design inside was amazing. It is worthy of being a spiritual holiday resort.

The scenic area is very large and is a paradise for children. There are beautiful scenery and cruise ships.

The place I was most looking forward to, I was not disappointed, everything was great, I will come back next time. I recommend everyone to go

Lingshan Town·Nianhua Bay is located on the shore of Taihu Lake where clouds and water meet in Wuxi, China, and on the Mashan Peninsula surrounded by beautiful mountains and water. The night view is very beautiful.

Flowers and trees have their own world, and life is full of Zen. It's worth the trip, I was attracted by China's Little Kyoto. It's worth the trip, I was attracted by China's Little Kyoto.

The environment is really beautiful, it is worth visiting again

The scenery is very beautiful and suitable for a family trip. We went there during the Spring Festival. The Zen food and buffet were very rich.

It's worth coming. You have to get a seat early for the night light show, otherwise you won't be able to see anything.

Flowers and trees have a world and life is full of Zen



。

It’s not as perfect as what is said on the Internet. Overall it is a new Japanese-style town. If you have free time, it’s not a bad idea to stay there for a night!

The tickets are too expensive! It's OK to go there to see the sea of ​​flowers.

Nianhua Bay is next to Lingshan Scenic Spot and is a town full of Zen. Although the buildings here are all antique, they are very delicately arranged and many places reflect Zen. The best time to see here is at night, when various lights create a beautiful atmosphere.

The Buddhist town is quiet and cozy, suitable for a night's stay in spring and summer, especially in summer, when you can drink tea on the balcony and listen to the croaking of frogs and chirping of insects. It must feel great.

The place to watch the night view, although it is all man-made landscape, it is managed very carefully, especially the light show is very beautiful, the weather is not cold, very comfortable!

It is a town built purely for the sake of imagination, but it has to be said that it is very suitable for idle people to find some spiritual relaxation here! Nianhua Bay in Lingshan Town is built as a tourist resort destination that integrates nature, humanities and lifestyle. It pursues a humanistic care for a unique experience of body, mind and spirit, allowing people to experience the ubiquitous Zen life, thus creating a new leisure tourism model of "spiritual vacation".

The newly built town with Zen culture as the theme is very good. Slow down and enjoy life. The scenery of the town is beautiful, especially at night when there are many activities and performances. The lighting effect is very good, and the scenery feels more beautiful. The architectural style imitates the Tang Dynasty, or it can be said to be Japanese style. The scenic area has no service attitude, but it is generally good. You can stay overnight, play in the town in the afternoon and evening to watch performances, and go for a walk in Luming Valley the next morning. There are also many free cultural experience projects in the town.

If you are going to stay there at night, you must buy some food before you go. The food there is so expensive that it's a rip-off.

The night view is the most beautiful I have ever seen, no doubt about it.

Lingshan Town·Nianhua Bay is located between the mountains and waters of Mashan National Scenic Area in Binhu District, Wuxi City. It is another masterpiece of Lingshan Group after Lingshan Brahma Palace after five years of construction. It opened on November 14, 2015. It has always been known as "pure sky, pure land, and pure water", with beautiful ecology and superior environment. Nianhua Bay is close to the mountains and faces the lake, and is adjacent to the world-famous Lingshan Giant Buddha. It can be said that it has the spiritual energy of heaven, earth and humanity.

The name "Nianhua Bay" comes from the classic story of the Buddha picking up a flower and Kasyapa smiling at the Lingshan Conference, and also from the magical landscape of the land where it is located, which resembles a five-petal lotus. The overall architectural style of the town is very similar to that of Nara, Japan, and it incorporates the unique water system of Jiangnan towns in China, creating a unique architectural style that immerses the entire town in a magnificent artistic conception.

Nianhua Bay in Lingshan Town is built to be a tourist holiday destination that integrates nature, humanities and lifestyle. It pursues a humanistic care of unique experience of body, mind and spirit, allowing people to experience the ubiquitous Zen life, thus creating a new leisure tourism model of "spiritual vacation".

The scenery is beautiful. It cost a lot of money to build it, especially the lights, fountains, and stage design at night, which are impeccable. However, it is too commercialized and the prices are too high, which makes it lose its original Zen meaning.

I have heard that Wuxi Lingshan Town is quite good. I finally had the opportunity to go there during the National Day. Because it is a holiday, I am a little worried that too many tourists will affect my mood, so I set off early in the morning and arrived at the scenic spot at about 9:30. Fortunately, there are not too many people at this time. The parking lot of the scenic spot is quite large. You can park directly in the parking lot outside the entrance. It costs 10 yuan a day. You can pay directly by scanning the WeChat code. It is convenient to park. It is cheaper to buy tickets online, and you can enter directly by swiping your ID card. It feels amazing after entering. It is definitely a good place to take pictures. Every place is very interesting. When you arrive at the center of the town, there are many free experience activities for children to participate. Although you soak in it for a day, it is not very tiring. It’s just that the more you soak in it for a day, the more people there are in the afternoon, especially in the evening. After six o'clock, there are performances such as the lighting of the Nianhua Tower and the water curtain dance. There are many performances, but it’s a bit messy. Because there are too many people, I think it will be much better to go on weekdays. It’s really unbearable on holidays. It’s too crowded.

During the National Day holiday, there were a lot of people. I went late for the evening performance and couldn't see anything in the crowd. I had to queue up for anything I wanted to eat. I went there in the evening and took a few beautiful photos to satisfy my child's desire to ride in a small car, but that's all. The price-performance ratio is not high, but the service attitude of the staff is very good.

Creative and worth seeing! Unfortunately, I was traveling with a group and was limited by time, so I didn't see the performance and night view.

We saw the sign for Nianhua Inn, but were not allowed to enter. We followed the police's instructions and drove back and forth twice on the mountain road. Finally, some people got off the car and walked in. The car was parked in a parking lot far away, and the other people walked in. I have never encountered such a strange thing since I started traveling.

Nianhua Bay is more suitable for locals to travel on weekends. It is recommended to come in the afternoon to see the scenery, etc. However, the 120 yuan ticket on National Day is really a rip-off. I don’t know how much it costs on weekdays. It is just a park-style pedestrian street with shops, two flower fields, and cruise ships. Why do tourists need tickets for a place to spend money? ?

Meet the most charming you----Nianhua Bay

For someone like me who always follows the rules, the word "seductive" is undoubtedly a little abrupt. But after thinking about it, this is the only word that can touch my heart.

In the warm autumn sun, my encounter with you was like a blind date. I stopped inadvertently, but I was not moved at all. Instead, I felt a little disappointed. Because in the sudden appointment, I imagined your infinite beauty countless times, and even yearned for many things. I wished that all the beauty in the world was your incarnation, and you existed like a god.

However, when God descended to the world and came before me, I actually stopped worshipping Him. Perhaps my obsession with the original flavor has cooled the artificial wonders, so I just want to wave goodbye.

But I couldn't resist the analysis of the Shanghai matchmaker (one of the designers of this attraction) and wanted to get to know you better. So I took off the label I gave you, walked closer to you along the bluestone road, and walked into your space. Slowly, different feelings came one after another, and I was a little confused: confused in the low, soothing, empty and spiritual Zen music; intoxicated in the neat and tidy copying of scriptures; lingering in the fragrance of colored glaze flowers, intoxicated in the moonlight of the full moon; dreaming about the beautiful zither girl under the thatched house, the fairy-like girl in the lotus stamen, the lotus finger of the Buddha in the water curtain movie; the flying god in the Great Love Lighthouse; stained by your Zen, Taoism, spirit, movement, flower, tree, tea, fan, incense, and fragrance... Gentle years, amazing time, I don't know how many tricks you have to tease the people who keep approaching you, for me, the resistance has gradually weakened.

There are flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter. Meeting you is the best season.





Zhang Yinghua's humble writing on the evening of September 28

The mascot of Nianhua Bay is the little monk on the ticket, so cute

I also bought a ticket for the sightseeing bus here, but I think it's not that cost-effective and there aren't many stops.

First, I came to Lumian Yinxiu, which is a different world.

The room inside is a tea ceremony room. I heard that you need to make an appointment to participate in the practice. When I went there, it was reserved by another company, so I didn't go in.

I took videos of the tower lighting ceremony, it was awesome! But when I watched the first show, it was so crowded that I couldn’t leave after it was over because the exits were blocked by people. I had to wait for a long time before I could get out. . . .

The water curtain movie was played in a loop every five minutes. There were quite a lot of people watching it. However, because it was played every five minutes, people left after watching it. So a new group of people came every five minutes. I was able to squeeze to the front very quickly.

On the way to watch the water curtain movie, a weird atmosphere was created. I don’t know what the staff of the scenic spot were thinking. It was like a horror movie. They used cold colors such as blue, purple and green. I was really drunk. Adding the smoke made it more like a horror movie. . . .

It is worth recommending. You can book a hotel for one night in advance and spend about a day and a half here. The night view performances are worth watching.

There were so many people that if I drove myself, the intersection would have been blocked by the police. It was estimated that there were too many people in the scenic area and it had exceeded the capacity. I could only park my car at the designated roadside according to the unified requirements and queue up for the scenic area shuttle bus. There was no one in charge of the waiting area, and the so-called staff who cut in line didn't care either. I had to queue for several hours. I didn't know if there was a problem with the dispatch. The intervals between vehicles were not short, and I had to queue for two hours. In fact, there are serious traces of human intervention in the scenic area. All kinds of buildings are a bit Japanese, and there is no difference from other places. It has a strong commercial flavor, and there are all kinds of tour groups. Maybe staying here for one night can make you feel the less crowded streets, and the experience may be better. I heard that it would be better to turn on the lights at night. It does lack a special beauty during the day. If I hadn't come with the elderly, I would probably rather stay in my own hotel.

Nianhua Bay is located on the shore of Taihu Lake, about 5 kilometers away from Lingshan Giant Buddha. It is a man-made scenic spot with the theme of "Zen".

Like many man-made scenic spots in China that are built on cultural and historical ancient architectural sites, Nianhua Bay is built on the Lingshan Giant Buddha. But compared with other man-made scenic spots/attractions in China, Nianhua Bay is unique and its overall level should be ranked among the top three.

The whole scenic area is themed "Zen", and includes many functions such as scenic area tours, accommodation in inns, shopping and dining, leisure and entertainment, Zen meditation experience, tea tasting and handicrafts, etc.

The overall style of Nianhua Bay is very, very, very similar to Kyoto. If you don’t tell me about some details or angles, you probably won’t be able to tell them apart. . . =.=

Whether it is the quaint pavilions and towers, the statues of various shapes on the roadside, or the ubiquitous vegetation and flowers, they all reveal the designer's ingenuity and thoughtfulness.

Except for the lake and the mountain, everything is man-made. There are flowers and plants everywhere, big and small, Zen, music is Zen. The ticket price of 120 yuan/person/day is a rip-off, and the accommodation in the scenic area is not cheap. I saw that there are some performances in the evening, but I am not sure how good they are. There are a lot of shops, restaurants, and homestays in the area. I really don't know why the ticket price is so expensive. I will definitely put it in the cold palace and never go there again.

Nianhua Bay is a very small place, which can be walked through in 20 minutes. Its feature is a few performances at night, and there is nothing special about other places. The architectural style inside is unified in Tang style. The water performance of "Flower Blooms Five Leaves" is the lotus fairy dancing in the lotus in the water, with the addition of fountain buff. The lighting performance of Nianhua Tower is watched by most tourists. In general, the price-performance ratio is low. The ticket price is 120, and it is 79.9 if you book it one day in advance. In fact, the ticket price is not worth more than 50

I took my children to experience it during the summer vacation, and the overall feeling was pretty good. We took the high-speed rail to Wuxi Railway Station, and took Leyou No. 2 at Island A of the Central Station. It cost 10 yuan per person for adults and took 1 hour and 10 minutes to reach the entrance of the scenic spot. It was very convenient! The accommodation was booked at the Nianhua Inn. Check in at the visitor center at the entrance of the scenic spot. The staff will arrange a tour bus to take the guests to the door of the inn. After checking out, it will also be sent to the exit of the scenic spot for free. If you take it at other times, it will cost 30 yuan per person. The innkeeper is very considerate and gave gifts and fruits to the children. The room is also clean and comfortable. Breakfast is at the Zen Food Hall in Yixiaotang in the scenic area. The variety is very rich and the taste is also very good. The children ate happily. I just accidentally heard the conversation between the waiters, saying that many people couldn't finish eating and took a lot, which was a waste on the table. I hope everyone can still take food on demand. There are 3 children's experience halls in the scenic area, one is near the Nianhua Tower, with sand painting and clay figurine coloring, and two are near the Zen Food Hall, which are woodblock rubbing, copying scriptures, weaving garlands, bean puzzles, painting face makeup, painting round fans and other handicrafts. Woodblock rubbing and weaving garlands are free, and the rest are charged. Do two free experiences plus one paid experience, collect three seals, and you can exchange a gift bag in the experience hall, which contains two facial masks. You can watch the performances in the evening, and the performances on the Nianhua Tower are not bad. The night view is beautiful, and it feels good to take a walk in the world of one flower and the sea of ​​Brahma flowers. After breakfast, we came here for a walk again, which was different from the night. In short, you must live in the scenic area. The only thing is that I feel that the food and beverages in the scenic area are a bit expensive and the taste is average. Korean fried chicken is really not recommended, and the beef noodles are satisfactory. There is no way. In short, it is worth bringing children to spend a Buddhist weekend.

I went to Nianhua Bay twice. There was a beautiful sunset in the evening, and a typhoon and showers came the next day. I saw different scenery in different weather. It is an exquisite town, but it has nothing to do with Nianhua. The idea of ​​Zen should be that buying and selling and walking are all cultivation. Walking into Nianhua Bay, there is a lotus pond, and different types of bamboos of different heights cover half of the lotus pond.

The colorful plants of varying heights, the mist flowing on the ground, and the soft music are very helpful in making you feel happy.

There is a guqin in a thatched hut in the distance. The ups and downs of the sound of the guqin are matched by a reed pond and the croaking of frogs. It feels like Japanese Zen and reminds me of the Zen words of a Japanese Zen master about frogs diving into the water.

The gurgling stream and plants of various colors by the roadside, although deliberately placed, look very comfortable and give a feeling of being close to nature. At the end of the winding path is an open expanse of Taihu Lake water and a lotus pond. It turns out that there is a water mist show here, but I prefer the water droplets flowing on the lotus leaves in the wind and the sunset afterglow reflected on the lotus pond.

At that moment, I felt as if I was a part of this landscape. The lotus leaves and willow trees were swaying as if they had life.

There is a cute little monk and a small bridge before entering the gate. There are koi in the pond under the bridge. On rainy days, the fish will swim to the surface of the water. When the sun sets, the red glow shines through the reeds onto the water, with red dots or golden sparkles, which is very charming. On rainy days, the reeds in the pond are particularly green and lush.

Nianhua Bay is located between the mountains and waters of Wuxi Mashan National Scenic Area. It has always been known as "pure sky, pure land, and pure water", with beautiful ecology and superior environment. Nianhua Bay is close to the mountains and faces the lake, and is adjacent to the Lingshan Giant Buddha. It can be said that it has the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The name of Nianhua Bay comes from the classic story of the Buddha picking up a flower and Kasyapa smiling at the Lingshan Conference, and also because the land where it is located is shaped like a five-petal lotus.

2017.10.4 National Day, there were a lot of people, the traffic jam lasted for a long time when approaching the destination, there were a lot of flowers in the town, and they also made DIY zodiac for free

Very suitable for leisure, slow down, and stay overnight

The key word is artificially built. The gardens and landscapes are very creative and worth a visit. The downside is that the restaurants are not particularly authentic. The other problem is the tickets. The tickets themselves are expensive, but there are inns and hotels in the town. Many people want to experience accommodation, but they have to buy tickets first to stay. This operation is a bit magical, that is, you need a ticket to enter the door.

Nianhua Bay - the first Zen-themed town in China. Lingshan Town Nianhua Bay is the first characteristic town in China with Zen culture as its theme by building a tourist resort complex that integrates tourism, sightseeing, accommodation, vacation and experience. The name "Nianhua Bay" comes from the classic story of the Buddha picking up a flower and Kasyapa smiling at the Lingshan Conference, and also from the magical landscape of the plot where it is located, which resembles a five-petal lotus. The overall architectural style of the town is very similar to that of Nara, Japan, and it incorporates the unique water system of the Jiangnan town in China, creating a unique architectural style that immerses the entire town in a magnificent artistic conception.

It's a very Buddhist place, especially suitable for bringing parents, and it's also great for a leisure trip by yourself.

The ticket is 120 yuan, the environment is good, and there are all kinds of fairy air. At the beginning, I was so happy to be there with my friends. Wow, it's so beautiful, wow, so fairy. It's suitable to wear something artistic to take pictures.

The place is not big and it only takes 2 hours to visit it. The dance performances are just so-so, average, not as good as the drama-like performances in Lingshan.

There is an experience hall where you can copy scriptures. You need to change clothes and burn incense. It is quite interesting and free. You can calm down.

Small items are expensive, a cute one costs 15 yuan. It is recommended to bring your own fruit drinks. Overall it is good, but not worth the price.

Although the scenic spot is newly built, it is indeed very distinctive, the scenic area is well planned, and the evening performances are also very interesting.

But the key point is: Don't go during holidays! Don't go during holidays! Don't go during holidays! I've said it three times. The scenic spot really doesn't know how to control the flow of tourists and puts economic interests first. I went there during the May Day holiday. I drove and parked five kilometers away from the scenic spot, and then the shuttle bus was crowded. Everyone can understand that the key point is that there is really no order outside the scenic spot. After visiting at night, I lined up to wait for the shuttle bus. There was no queue at all. The parking lot was blocked. The black car was 100 yuan per person and was seriously overloaded. The scenic spot has no plan for these things, and the management can't keep up. I waited for nearly two hours and there was no hope at all. There was no queue at all. People kept coming from behind. I was really afraid of a stampede. I hope it will attract great attention! !

This place is worthy of its name, with flowers blooming everywhere, and the scenery is picturesque. Everything in the park is celebrating and cheering for us. There are more people than expected, and we met several teams of students on spring outings. The main town is bustling with people. There are performances and light shows here at night, which should be very beautiful. But we were very tired and left the park at 4 pm, so we didn't watch it.

Man-made attractions, lots of food and places to visit ~ it's quite big

A good place to stay at night. There are also performances inside

Everything else is ok, but the food is rubbish, especially this fried chicken shop. The ramen is soaked in water, not boiling water, and it is served before it is soaked.

The Japanese Nara style is integrated with a little Jiangnan town feeling, and it can be regarded as a half Tang Dynasty building. There is no entrance fee for staying in the scenic area. It is positioned to serve high-end people, but it attracts too many group guests for popularity, which destroys the simple tranquility. There is a light show at night, but it is not as good as described on the Internet.

The scenery is good, and the night view is even better! I guess there are too many mosquitoes in the summer.

As you approach Nianhua Bay, you can only hear Zen music leading the way and the warm sun smiling. Turning around, you will meet the elegant Tang style and romantic warmth that fills the courtyard. The soft time and a joyful heart are thus placed in the eyes of the years in Nianhua Bay.

The signs of every shop are antique, with "Half Window with Sparse Shadows" and "Rainy Alley in Jiangnan" - the poetic meaning can be felt from the names.

Walking in Nianhua Bay, if you accidentally turn a street corner or turn into an alley, you will come across an inn scattered in every corner of the town.

Don't leave in a hurry, leave more time in Nianhua Bay, you will find a small world completely different from the daytime. Nianhua Bay at night is gorgeous and dazzling like colored glaze.

The bustling streets during the day present a completely different scene at night. The small town with lights on and bustling crowds also has a different flavor.

Nianhua Bay can only be reached by bus No. 2. Get on the bus at Island A. The bus runs roughly every half an hour, but experience has shown that the bus schedule is not accurate... You may have to wait 20 minutes in advance...

The signs in the scenic area are very well done, and you will basically not get lost. If you see you are confused, the staff will actively tell you how to go. The experience is very good. As soon as you enter the gate, there will be an exquisite small garden to welcome you. There is a paid sightseeing train in the scenic area, which will pass by the Brahma Flower Sea, which is beautiful.

Every corner of the scenic area is beautiful, with many shops to visit. The Xiangyue Flower Street in the middle is mainly clothing stores, plus some unique dessert shops and places to buy souvenirs. The southern waterside is mostly affordable snacks and restaurants. Further in is the higher-end Yunshuijian Hotel. It is worth mentioning that the signposts in the scenic area are all illuminated, so you won’t get lost even at night. I am once again moved by the details of the scenic area design.

It is also worth mentioning that there are flower arranging, sutra copying and other experiences in the Zen Life Center, which are free and everyone can go and experience them.

@Wuxi Pick Flower Bay. I am too lazy to spend time with ordinary people, just brush the mirror. I pick flowers and smile, the breeze comes slowly

I went to Wuxi Nianhua Bay at the end of April. There were still many people there, which was more suitable for taking photos. The hotels in the scenic area were a little expensive, but the express hotels were basically around 800-1000. It is very suitable for young couples to travel.

The sea of ​​flowers is beautiful, the accommodation is quiet, and the evening performance is beautiful

Nianhua Bay pursues a natural style of returning to nature, and its simple design presents a unique lifestyle and oriental aesthetic conception.

What will make you fall in love with it at first sight is Xiangyue Flower Street, with its wooden Tang-style buildings, Song Dynasty flying beam structures, and a sense of elegant Zen.

Every brick and tile, every step and every scene, it is a very suitable place for taking photos. I always feel like I am in Kyoto.

Nowadays, you don’t need to apply for a visa to go to Japan.

Just come to Wuxi.

A large cherry blossom forest has been planted in Nianhua Bay

Every year in mid-to-late March, this place is covered with a sea of ​​cherry blossoms.



I came a little late this year

Most of the cherry blossoms have already withered.

I could only catch the tail end of the cherry blossom season in Nianhua Bay.



A breeze blows by,

The petals fluttered down.

The green leaves gradually sprouted new buds

A scene full of vitality.

I heard that Nianhua Bay has become a popular tourist attraction in recent years. The inns there are very beautiful, exquisite and full of Zen.

As for tickets, it is highly recommended to buy them online the day before. The online price is 63/person, while the on-site price is 120/person.

When we got there, it was basically the same as Wuzhen, with a main street and a side street next to the main street. There were electric cars, but we didn't go into the main street. It took about 2 hours to visit here. There were snacks, restaurants, cafes, and teahouses. The sun was very bright, but the wind was also very bright.

Beautiful, beautiful, I chose to take the Leyou 2 line from the train station for an hour. I was actually worried whether I would be disappointed. Although it was rainy and cold yesterday, I felt great when I came in. I booked the Nianhua Bay Inn. The service was great and the attitude was super good! The only disappointment was the buffet at the Paramita Hotel. It was said to start at 5:30, but we arrived at 5:30 and told us that we had to wait for a seat. We waited until more than 6:40 before we could eat. There were not many things, probably because there were too many people. Many good things had to be queued, even ramen! ! In short, it was very disappointing! If there were not so many seats, don't sell so many buffets.

This time I came to Nianhua Bay and it felt very different from last year. The biggest difference was "people". Last year, the whole Nianhua Bay was not well-known. Even though the Big Buddha was crowded, the Nianhua Bay Valley was still quiet and pleasant. But now, at five o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of tourist groups poured into the town to eat, watch the lights, and appreciate the flowers. In addition, artists and people wearing Hanfu walked through all the time, making people feel like they were in Chang'an City in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Several stage performances in the scenic area have also been adjusted compared to last year. The stage design and music are more closely connected, and the visual shock brought to people is more intuitive. The night view light show of the whole Nianhua Bay is also one of the best in Jiangnan.

There is a direct bus near Lingshen Shengjing! There are many people during the day, but the scenery is good. Japanese-style buildings are located in the Jiangnan town. I think the night view is more beautiful! You can choose to stay in the scenic area
