A rare and unpopular travel destination: a bamboo sea and snow scene that seems to be non-existent in reality
I don’t know how my friends found this fairyland-like place. There are so few people there that I think they have traveled to another dimension. The bamboo sea covered with snow is so beautiful that it seems not to exist in reality.

🌟【Must-read tips】
1. After entering the park, you can take a sightseeing bus directly to the cable car station or the foot of the mountain, but it is not recommended because the bamboo sea and snow along the way are extremely beautiful and you must take pictures.
2. When entering the park, it is best to ask what time the last sightseeing bus from the foot of the mountain to the gate of the scenic area leaves. If you miss it, you can only walk.
3. If you don’t have too much physical strength problem, it is not recommended to take the cable car, because the mountain is not high, and in addition to the fun of climbing, the scenery is too beautiful, especially when it snows.
There is nothing wrong with it except that it is far away from the city.
Scenic area: The scenic area is quite large, with the highest peak in southern Jiangsu at an altitude of more than 600 meters. It takes about 5 hours to climb up and down. Of course, there are cable cars and sightseeing buses for those who don't want to climb the mountain.
Environment: The scenic area is clean and sanitary, and the bamboo frogs on the roadside are so cute. Even if you go there in this season, mosquitoes can kill you.
Transportation: Take a bus from Yixing Passenger Transport Bus Station, about 80 minutes. There are not many buses, and the interval is a little longer. If you are not in a hurry, it is still very convenient. (After all, it costs less than 100 yuan to take a taxi for more than 30 kilometers)
Yixing Bamboo Sea Scenic Area is a national AAAA-level tourist area. The scenic area spans across Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, with more than hundreds of thousands of acres of bamboo, which can be called the "sea of bamboo". Since the Hufu Mountain area of the Bamboo Sea Scenic Area is closest to Taihu Lake and has the most obvious watershed, the streams flowing down from the Bamboo Sea Mountain are also known as the "first source of Taihu Lake".
The route planning of the scenic area is quite good, with the walking path and the sightseeing drive being roughly divided into two lines.
After walking past Jinghu Lake and reaching Zhuyinxuan Leisure Area, you will find the fork in the road for the cable car and hiking. Walking up the mountain still requires a lot of physical strength.
You can take the cable car, which takes about 25 minutes and you can enjoy good scenery along the way.
The scenery is beautiful, especially the water, which is real spring water and very clear; the layout of the park is reasonable, with rich landscape design, such as cute animal stone benches, cartoon seats, children's playground, stone carvings, clear and calm mirror lake, etc. The cableway is also relatively long and the main peak is relatively high, which is not available in other bamboo seas.
Very rubbish. There are two roads at the entrance to the mountain, one of which is under maintenance without any notice. Halfway up, it was blocked and I had to return. It took more than an hour to climb to the top of the mountain, but the first peak viewing platform was also under maintenance, and there was no scenery to see. The scenic spot ticket plus the one-way sightseeing bus and cable car cost a total of 110, and the parking fee was 15, which is totally not worth it
Yixing Bamboo Sea is a famous tourist attraction in the province, a national 4A-level scenic spot, and one of the most famous bamboo sea scenic spots in China, covering an area of 15,000 hectares. There are nearly 100 different types of bamboo in the scenic area, including moso bamboo, clump bamboo and indigo bamboo.
A place for leisure and vacation, suitable for strolling slowly
This year, the company organized a spring outing to Yixing! I love bamboo! It's so beautiful, but the mountain is a bit high, and I'm too tired to appreciate the bamboo.
It was beautiful when I went there on a snowy day during the Spring Festival, but the fog was so thick that I couldn't see anything.
Yixing's bamboo sea is very suitable for outings, with a suitable temperature, pleasant scenery, and a gentle slope.
It is indeed called the Bamboo Sea, full of bamboos. The mountain is really high, not easy to climb, full of stairs. I took the cable car down the mountain, otherwise it would be really tiring. I drove from Ma'anshan to Yixing with two friends (I didn't drive), at least I went there. It is recommended not to bring too many things up the mountain, you need to have endurance
Auspicious snow means a good harvest. For people in the south, it is rare to see such a beautiful snow scene.
The Zhuhai scenic area is not big, the ticket is 80 yuan, and the tour bus is 10 yuan. We chose to walk. Overall, I think the ticket price of 80 yuan is not very cost-effective, compared with the 90 yuan of Yuantouzhu. Because my friends like challenges, they chose to walk up the mountain. It may be because they are one year older and their physical strength is not as good as before. There is a feeling of powerlessness, or it may be because they have not been active for a long time. It took about 2 hours to get to the mountain.
It took about 50 minutes to take the tourist line from Yixing Bus Station to the final stop, Bamboo Sea. Bamboo Sea is the farthest attraction. Full price ticket is 80rmb/person, student ticket is 40rmb/person. We thought we were strong and didn't expect that bamboo sea was a mountain climbing (??). We moved forward happily, and the scenery before reaching the bottom of the sea was beautiful.
It was great. Although the first peak in southern Jiangsu is only a few hundred meters high, it rained during the climb. I took shelter from the rain for a while and then continued climbing. When I reached the top and saw the sea of clouds, I felt very excited!
The best way to get around is to take a taxi. It's very cost-effective to share a taxi with friends. It's far from the city, about two hours away, with mountains, water and bamboo, and there's a temple inside.
I went there when I was in college. It didn't seem to be very developed at the time. Anyway, there were not many people, so it was suitable for oxygen inhalation.
The Yixing Bamboo Sea Scenic Area has a total area of 10,000 acres. It is the largest bamboo resource scenic area in East China, so it is known as the "No. 1 Bamboo Sea in East China". Since the Hufu Mountain area of the Bamboo Sea Scenic Area is closest to Taihu Lake and has the most obvious watershed, the stream flowing down from the Bamboo Sea Mountain is also known as the "No. 1 Source of Taihu Lake" and is extremely beautiful.
The scenery is nice, but the road is under construction all the way, so it's hard to drive
You just need to scan the QR code to enter the park. They gave us a map of the scenic area and two fans. At first they asked us why we were still given fans since the weather wasn’t so hot anymore. Later I realized they were for fans against mosquitoes!!! We must do a good job of preventing mosquitoes!
If we come in July or August, there will be a lot of green space, and my mother will definitely like it more.
You must take the cable car. As the saying goes, it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down. However, it also depends on your physical condition. For us, we must take the cable car up the mountain. If our lung capacity is not good and we don't know how to breathe, even at an altitude of 600 meters, our legs will not be able to bear the weight of our bodies to climb up step by step.
We can go down the mountain, step by step, slowly. Sore legs are inevitable, but we won't choke on our breath. We take a break and go down for a while. And when we see some people going up the mountain gasping for breath, we cheer them on and report the distance to the top. It's still pretty leisurely.
Be sure to relax and stretch after returning home, otherwise your legs will hurt for several days.
Back to the cable car, it was also my mother's first time to ride it. It was beautiful before getting on, but as soon as the cable car left the ground, my mother became numb, scared, and didn't dare to move. She even stuttered when she spoke. I could only comfort her. The latter part was still bearable. We started to look outside, at the mountains and bamboo forests. We rested for more than an hour, chatting and stretching our muscles.
The way down the mountain is indeed as fellow hikers said, one step is not enough to go down, and two steps are a waste. But it is suitable for my mother, and she goes down slowly.
It was actually quite boring to go down the mountain, but we looked at the people who climbed up one after another. There were people of all ages and in all conditions. Some were pulled to climb, some were sweating profusely, and some were panting. My mother cheered them on, saying, "It's not far, it's not far." I felt that she became much more cheerful.
It took us 4 hours to go down the mountain and leave the scenic area. After coming out, we saw villagers selling things at the entrance of the scenic area. We first had a cup of bayberry soup, which was indeed made from fresh bayberries.
After looking at other stores, I decided to buy some dried bamboo shoots, which cost 50 yuan per pound. I haven’t eaten them yet, but they should be good.
Small persimmons, sweet and delicious, 10 yuan a bowl.
I bought some black rice, which is also a specialty of Yixing.
The scenic area is not big, it's OK, it's good to walk around
I went there on a weekend break. It was very comfortable to see the dense bamboo forest and I felt very relaxed. I liked sitting on the swing at the foot of the mountain. It felt like I was back in my childhood. The public facilities were very good. When I went there, some attractions were still under construction. It should be better after the scenic area is completed.
The most beautiful scenic spot in Yixing. Listen to the waterfall and watch the bamboo sea. The typhoon brought abundant water, and today's bamboo sea walking path has become a cascading waterfall. The stream water flows over the feet, so cool that sports shoes have to become sandals. Here, you can understand what the earliest state of bamboo is grass.
The scenery is good, but the tourist service needs to be improved.
Actually, I didn't know there was such a bamboo sea before I came to Yixing. I just wandered here with my friends. It took a lot of effort to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top. We didn't have any material preparation. Fortunately, a passerby gave us two bottles of mineral water, otherwise we would not be able to climb up. The guy was also very funny. He said he couldn't carry it anymore, so he gave it to us. Haha, it's worth going to see the bamboo sea...
Good place, the natural scenery of Hufu is conscientious, it is worth visiting, it has beautiful appearance, oxygen, cool breeze, difficulty and mosquitoes, and mosquito protection must be done. Praise this scenic spot, we climbed up, the last 600 meters was almost life-threatening, and the scenery after reaching the top was really infinite. In the teahouse above, I ordered a pot of Yangxian Xueya, ate something, and took a break to escape the heat. It was very comfortable. We took the cable car to go down the mountain. Legend has it that overlooking the bamboo sea from the cable car will have a thrilling feeling, but it is actually very peaceful. The scenery is not bad, but compared with the cable car of Tianmen Mountain, this cable car is too short after all. There is only one bad thing, the cable car going down the mountain from 12:00 to 1:30 noon was out of service, so we had to stay on the mountain for more than half an hour, so that after going down the mountain, the restaurant was closed for lunch.
1. Take a bus from Wuxi to Yixing, the journey takes one hour, departs at 7:25 and arrives at around 8:30
2. Take bus No. 201 from Yixing Bus Station, which runs every 30-40 minutes. I left at 9:15 and arrived at about 10:20, which also took an hour.
There are many attractions on route 3.201, such as Linggu Cave, Zhanggong Cave, and Deep Oxygen Park, which can be chosen.
4.201 The entrance to the scenic area is not far from the terminal
5. It is recommended to walk to the ropeway, take the cable car, walk to the bottom of the sea, and take a sightseeing bus to save time.
6. The mountains are green and the trip is worth it. Mirror Lake is absolutely beautiful.
When I returned to Jiaxing from Nanjing, I went to Yixing Bamboo Sea. The scenery was nice. It was very artistic to watch the bamboo sea from the cable car.
The large bamboo sea is worth visiting, full of green and refreshing.
After entering the scenic area, it didn't take long for the green vegetation to become dense. The air was so good that every deep breath seemed to clear my heart and lungs. The scenic area is very large. The official provides 4 ways to visit. With my mother, we chose the first relaxing sightseeing tour. The spider webs full of fine dewdrops hang on the red leaves, shining brightly. The big and small beads fall on the jade plate, each one is crystal clear, which is a gift from nature. The air is good and the mood is good. Too much negative oxygen ions are absorbed, the brain cells are overactive, and the Ferrari is fully revived~~~ There is a faint mist on the lake.
Mirror Lake is really beautiful. The cableway up the mountain is quite long, and it seems that you can see the end at a glance. In fact, you can only see less than half of the total length of the cableway. The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and you can't see it at all. As the altitude continues to rise, the surroundings gradually become blurred. It's really foggy! I thought I was almost there, but I saw that there was still a long way to go! Think about the cable car ticket for Jiuhua Mountain. This 40 yuan ticket is also cost-effective. Get off the cable car and go a little forward. It is the highest attraction in the bamboo sea-Lingyun Pavilion. At the foot of the mountain, it is quiet and lush.
The overflowing green gives people a feeling of vigorous life, and the emerald green bamboo is tenacious and upright.
There was gurgling water along the way, the water was cool and clear. I washed my face with the green and natural water and felt refreshed.
The air in the bamboo sea is extremely fresh. You can take a battery car when you enter the door. Because we wanted to see a suspension bridge, we chose to hike. Walking along the path, there are bamboos on the left, the lake on the right, and a small pavilion, which is super beautiful.
There is a part of it that is viewed from the cable car, and the view is full of green, which is very comfortable. I just want to say that although the scenery here is relatively simple, I really like it. The air is fresh and the view is full of green, which is comfortable.
When the wind blows, the bamboo leaves rustle between the mountains and the sea, and the well-arranged bamboo forest sways with the wind, like a green ocean floating in the air, majestic and stormy!......
My dad was quite wise to choose to avoid the peak hours and enter the park early. He did not take the battery car or the cable car to climb the mountain to appreciate the "First Peak in Southern Jiangsu". He just relaxed for three hours in this natural oxygen bar, playing and taking pictures...
Few people, beautiful scenery, natural oxygen bar!!! First recommended in Wuxi~I hope the transportation can be more convenient.
It takes me one hour to get from the city to Wuxi Station, one hour to take a bus from Wuxi Station to Yixing, and another hour to take a tourist bus. It’s such a tiring journey!
You must choose to take a one-way bus, which costs 40 yuan for going up and 30 yuan for going down, with an altitude of 600 meters and a 25-minute ride. The scenery is super beautiful!
The cable car journey takes 25 minutes, and I was a little scared when I got on it. As for the top of the mountain, it might be easier to go up the mountain, but I didn’t feel anything, and the scenery was not good, not as good as that in the bamboo forest. Finally, I felt so sore when going down the mountain that my calves were shaking the next day.
Personally, I suggest walking up the mountain and taking the cable car down. You can stay in the bamboo forest for a while, bring enough water, fruits and dry food, walk and stop, and feel the wind singing and the bamboo whistling. It is super comfortable.
There is a free bus tour line from the train station to the Bamboo Sea Scenic Area (wait for the bus next to the tourist center on the right hand side of the exit), basically there is a bus every half an hour to an hour (operating hours are approximately 7.20-16.30), or you can take a taxi.
A paradise on earth. The lush and green bamboo sea is charming, reflecting the mirror lake and pavilions, creating a viewpoint where you can easily take a big picture. Take the cable car up the mountain, climb to the first peak in southern Jiangsu, and overlook the majestic bamboo sea. The water quality and air in the scenic area are superb. It is a natural oxygen bar and very suitable for a weekend vacation.
I went to the bamboo sea on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year. There were fewer people, it was very quiet, the air was quite good, and the scenery of the bamboo sea was also great. I took the cable car to the top of the mountain. The snow on the top had not melted yet, and the children had another snowball fight. The spring water was gurgling. The only shortcoming was that the catering in the scenic area was too poor. It is recommended to bring your own
When visiting the bamboo sea, it is recommended to take the cable car up the mountain and then walk down the mountain.
After getting off the high-speed train at Yixing Station, there is a free tourist bus in the high-speed train station that goes directly to the scenic spot. There is a bus every half an hour, and the ticket price is 80 yuan. It is cheaper to buy it online in advance. The cable car is 40 yuan for going up the mountain, 30 yuan for going down the mountain, and the battery car is 10 yuan one way. You can walk to the cable car point to take the cable car up the mountain, walk about 1 kilometer, and you can see the scenery along the way. Walk down the mountain to the battery car point and take the battery car back.
On the way to Yixing Bamboo Sea, you can pass by the gates of scenic spots such as Zhanggong Cave and Yunutan. Bamboo Sea seems to be the last scenic spot connected in series on this scenic avenue, so I don’t know if it has diverted tourists. There are not many guests to Bamboo Sea during the Golden Week. Maybe you will have the luck to book the venue during normal times! The scenic area is very large. It is recommended to take a battery car to the cable car station at the gate, 10 yuan one-way. Then take the cable car up the mountain and enjoy the vast blue waves rippling with the wind above the bamboo forest. This scenery is the best in spring. Walk down the mountain again to explore the deep bamboo forest. When going down the mountain, you need to walk 500 meters of mountain road, which is a continuous downstairs. Although it is not steep, it is a bit hard because there is no flat road buffer. You can also walk a section of the plank road halfway up the mountain, which is relatively flat, and you can reach the battery car terminal. It is easier to walk down the mountain from here. There are trails in the bamboo forest, or you can take the road. Only the scenic area vehicles can pass without any problems. There is a lake at the foot of the mountain with a suspension bridge on the lake, which is beautiful for taking photos. There are also facilities for children to play. The products in the cultural and creative store next to the cable car station are also good.
The bamboo sea is worth a visit. It's better than expected. We took the cable car up the mountain and walked down the mountain without feeling tired.
Yixing self-driving day 2, Bamboo Sea
It was the first time I saw continuous mountains covered with bamboos.
The scenery is beautiful and climbing is a good exercise. 5 stars recommended
A great attraction with endless bamboo forests. Recommended to go in spring or summer when the weather is not hot. Worth a visit.
I have been to Yixing for more than ten times. Finally, I came to the bamboo sea to see the natural oxygen bar. It is not very fast. It takes more than an hour to reach the top. We climbed slowly for more than two hours and the scenery was good.
Since the Hufu Mountain area of the Zhuhai Scenic Area is closest to Taihu Lake, the stream flowing down from Zhuhai Mountain is known as the "First Source of Taihu Lake". The mountain spring water flowing in the Zhuhai for many years is extremely pure and can be drunk directly. According to experts, it contains various trace elements that are beneficial to health, such as germanium, lithium, selenium, calcium, etc.
Jizhao Zen Temple is nestled in a bamboo forest and surrounded by ancient trees. Two ancient Saṃsāra trees and ginkgo trees have thick trunks and luxuriant and gnarled branches. The thousand-year-old ginkgo tree standing in front of Jizhao Temple has a trunk diameter of 5 meters and a height of more than 30 meters. It is very old.
Located in the southeast of Yixing, it is best to take the cable car to go up the mountain, but it is still quite far.
The most impressive thing is the cable car, which takes nearly 20 minutes to cross two mountains and reach the first peak in southern Jiangsu. I personally think it is more beautiful than the Chinese Bamboo Sea in Anji. If you are lucky, you can also see peach blossom jellyfish in Mirror Lake.
I personally like bamboo since I was a child, so I am particularly fond of bamboo sea. Compared with Mukeng Bamboo Sea, Yixing Bamboo Sea is more modern in management and development. Yixing Bamboo Sea Scenic Area is very large. Unfortunately, due to time and energy reasons, we were not able to visit all of it, but it was still amazing enough.
My colleague went here, but unfortunately, it rained before we reached the highest point. I'll go and see it myself when I have the chance.
Fortunately, I didn't follow the guide to climb the mountain by cable car. The weather was hot and I had to stop and go when going down the mountain. I can't imagine how painful it would be to climb a mountain. Remember to take the cable car up the mountain.
The mountains are picturesque, the water is clear, and there are endless acres of green bamboo. The scenery is absolutely first-class!
Yixing Bamboo Sea Scenic Area stretches over 800 miles across Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces. It is known as the "No. 1 Bamboo Sea in East China" and is a representative scenic spot of China's bamboo scenery, bamboo customs and bamboo culture. The main attractions include "The First Source of Taihu Lake", "The First Peak in Southern Jiangsu", "Bamboo Announces Peace", "The Beautiful Scenery of Mirror Lake", "Suppression Bridge Lingbo", "Ji Zhao Zen Temple", "Bamboo Forest Waterfall", "Emerald Corridor" and "Suspended Plank Road".
From Yixing Railway Station, there is a free tourist bus to the Bamboo Sea Scenic Area. If you take the cable car up, there is no need to buy a battery car ticket for the outbound trip, because the battery car will arrive at the cable car point after a short walk, and then those who do not take the cable car will continue to take the battery car to a deeper place. The cable car takes more than 20 minutes, and the view of the bamboo sea is very spectacular. Young people with good physical strength can get off in 1 hour. After getting off, it is recommended to take the battery car out of the scenic area because it is still a bit far. The cable car ticket is 40 yuan for going up and 30 yuan for coming down, and the battery car ticket is 10 yuan for the round trip.
It was not as good as I thought, but it was good overall. I went there early in the morning around the opening time, and there were not many people and the temperature was suitable. It was very beautiful passing by the Mirror Lake, the water was clear and calm. I chose to take the cable car up and walk down. It was quite physically demanding to go down, as there were steps. It took about an hour to get down to the bottom of the mountain.
Although the characteristic of the bamboo sea is not to climb high, the scenery at the top of Yixing Bamboo Sea is also very ordinary. The lake is too artificial and there is almost no cultural landscape. It is much worse than Nanshan Bamboo Sea.
The overall view is very good, with beautiful scenery. It is a natural oxygen bar. The mirror lake at the foot of the mountain has clear water, reflecting the mountains and green bamboo, which is very beautiful. After taking the cable car to the top, looking far away, the nearby mountains are full of crisp bamboo, which is very spectacular. The mountain is not big, so you won't be very tired when playing. You can relax and play without rushing.
The 4A scenic area doesn't have much special features. During the Spring Festival, there were so many tourists that the sightseeing bus had to queue for an hour. If you go there in the summer, it's quite comfortable to climb the bamboo forest.
When taking the cable car to the top of the mountain, you can see the spectacular sea of bamboo, and the path up the mountain is surrounded by bamboo forests, but other than that there is nothing special and it is a bit monotonous.
The cable car goes up 40 and goes down 30. Children under 1.4 meters are free of charge. The cable car is quite long. I think it is very affordable. It is more cost-effective than Tianmu Lake Bamboo Sea. It is worth going.
There are sightseeing buses and cable cars in Yixing Bamboo Sea. The ticket price from the gate of the scenic area to the foot of the mountain is 10 yuan. The scenery in the park is very beautiful, with the artistic conception of Jiangnan water town. Although the mountain is the highest peak in southern Jiangsu, it is not high, less than 600 meters. The surrounding attractions include Youche Reservoir and Yunhu Scenic Area of Dajue Temple. They are all free to the public.
After I shared my experience, my colleagues also went there. The environment of the bamboo sea is really great.
We took a sightseeing bus to the top of the mountain, took the cable car down, and then walked to the entrance of the scenic area.
Sightseeing bus 10 yuan/person Stop: Cable car boarding place, underwater
Cable car up 40/person down 30/person
When you get to the bottom of the sea, you'll see a lush green bamboo forest.
The view should be nice when you reach the top of the mountain in good weather.
The bamboo ocean is a natural oxygen bar. There are not many tourists here, so those who are not physically fit may want to take the cable car.
It is a natural oxygen bar with complete facilities. It is highly recommended, especially as a good place to escape the heat in summer.
You can book tickets on Taobao to go to the Bamboo Sea Scenic Area, which is 20 yuan cheaper than booking tickets in the scenic area. The mineral water in the scenic area is 6 yuan per bottle, and the one on the top of the mountain is more expensive. You must bring plenty of water in summer. There are two roads in the scenic area that are very humane. You can take a sightseeing bus or walk in the bamboo forest. The sun is scorching overhead, and it is a rare enjoyment to occasionally feel a breeze while walking in the bamboo forest. The scenery in the scenic area is beautiful, with many seats and swings to rest. You can take the cable car or climb up the mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the scenery of the whole town.
As one of the places I most want to visit in East China, I specially set aside a day and had to change cars and drive back and forth to get there, but the scenery really did not disappoint me, and the air is so good!
It is very beautiful, Yixing Bamboo Sea, with bamboo forests and streams. After the rain, there are small bridges, gurgling mountain springs, and a bamboo sea that stretches as far as the eye can see. Breathe in the fresh air and feel the beauty of nature.
Yixing Bamboo Sea is located 20 kilometers south of Yixing City. The mountain with the reputation of "the first peak in southern Jiangsu" is full of bamboos, which is a sea of bamboos! This feeling is particularly strong when taking the cable car. Looking down, the mountains are full of bamboos, which is absolutely not a view in the north! The bamboo sea scenic area is very large, but most people are climbing and going down the mountain. It is recommended to take the cable car up the mountain, and after seeing the scenery at the top of the mountain, go down the mountain from the small road. You will not miss the beautiful scenery and save energy! The ticket for Yixing Bamboo Sea Scenic Area should be 80 yuan per ticket. Students should have discounts. Ctrip also sells tickets online, which can be discounted by about 10 yuan. It is recommended to buy it online. The experience is the same! To go to Yixing Bamboo Sea, you can take Yixing Tourist Route 201. The terminal is at the entrance of the Bamboo Sea Scenic Area, but the 201 bus has a long interval, about 20-30 minutes, and you need to wait patiently! Yixing Bamboo Sea Scenic Area is full of green all year round. The best tourist season is definitely spring and autumn, when the weather is cooler. It is also okay in summer. The average temperature of the Bamboo Sea Scenic Area is 5-6 degrees lower than that in the city. It is also very cool to be at the bottom of the bamboo sea! There are no restaurants around the Bamboo Sea Scenic Area, only farmhouses. If you want to eat, you can only choose farmhouses. If you don’t like farmhouses, you can take a bus back to the city to find food after the whole tour! There are sightseeing buses in Yixing Bamboo Sea Scenic Area. If you are tired, you can choose to take a sightseeing bus. It costs 10 yuan one way. You can take a bus to see the surrounding scenery, which is also good!
Yixing's first scenic spot is very large and has great scenery. Unfortunately, it rained on the day we went there, so we couldn't see anything at the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain is about 600 meters high, and the process of going up and down the mountain is still very interesting.
The Bamboo Sea Scenic Area is worth a visit. The planning of the scenic area is also very good, and the oxygen content is also very high. The scenery is beautiful all the way, but I remind everyone to take anti-mosquito measures. I have read many travel notes saying to climb the mountain and then go down by cable car. I suggest going up and down by cable car. In fact, there is only one tower on the mountain, but you can see the momentum of the bamboo sea on the cable car. The black mosquitoes on the mountain are very rampant and chase people to bite. We played for less than 4 hours. If we have enough time, we can play slowly for a whole day.
This is another attraction I highly recommend.
At first, I couldn't tell the difference between Nanshan Bamboo Sea and Yixing Bamboo Sea Scenic Area.
One weekend, on my way home from Liyang, I passed by Wuxi Yixing. I successfully found a homestay near the Bamboo Sea and navigated to the scenic area the next day.
There were not many people, the scenery was beautiful, and there were many surprises. We took the cable car to the top of the mountain and had a panoramic view of the bamboo sea. The scenery was endless.
When you arrive in Yixing, I recommend you to visit the Bamboo Sea Scenic Area. The tickets are not expensive and the scenery is amazing.
