Jiangsu's Little Altay — Yixing 🍃
I used to always go to Anji Moganshan for breaks, but this time I discovered an even more surprising "Little Altay" — Wuxi Yixing! Every snap feels like a blockbuster shot📸 Quickly save this secret travel guide~
🌿【Longchi Mountain Bicycle Park】
📍 Address: Longchi Village, Zhangzhu Town, Yixing City, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province
⏰ Opening Hours: 8:00-16:30 (bike rental time)
💰 Rental Fee: Electric bike 60 RMB/hour (bringing your own is more cost-effective)
Cycling here is truly healing! An 18km red cycling path runs through tens of thousands of tea gardens, and you can look up to see blue skies and white clouds☁️
🏞️【Jinjia Reservoir】
📍 Navigate directly: next to Kuka Art Center
This is the hidden gem of this trip✨ The azure reservoir + lush tea gardens + rolling mountains create Altay-like stunning scenery in every shot!
💙 My 2-day itinerary:
DAY 1
🚗 2-hour self-drive from Suzhou
🛵 1.5-hour cycling at Longchi Mountain
📸 Vlog shooting at Jinjia Reservoir
🏨 Stay at a tea-scented guesthouse
DAY 2
☕️ Tea picking experience at the guesthouse
🍜 Taste local farmhouse dishes
🚶♀️ Leisurely return trip

🔹 Few people and beautiful scenery! Almost private on weekdays
🔹 Crystal-clear skies in August make photos amazing
🔹 Riding a small electric scooter through the tea gardens is super relaxing!
🔹 The reservoir looks like a sapphire, every shot is a masterpiece
🧾 Travel Tips:
1️⃣ Self-driving is recommended for convenience (huge parking lot at the park entrance)
2️⃣ Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Recommend wearing a bucket hat or straw hat
3️⃣ Wearing light-colored clothes looks better in photos~
4️⃣ Can combine with a visit to Kuka Art Center (free admission)
🍪 Secret favorite:
Highly recommend 【Feliz Thick-Cut Air Sandwich Cookies】! Matcha almond / mixed berry yogurt / peanut butter pork floss flavors, individually packaged and super convenient, a must-have snack for outdoor activities~
Recently, the blue skies and white clouds in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai are super healing! Everyone, quickly seize the end of summer for a spontaneous trip~✨
