Sundouding: The room in Building 8 is not bad. Stayed for three nights. I would like to comment on the breakfast in particular. There are a wide variety of dishes and they are rotated every day. The taste is also good. I tried the black rice, which is soft, glutinous and sweet. The large intestine noodles are delicious. The cold dishes are different every day and are refreshing and tasty. The breakfast is very cost-effective. Many five-star hotels cannot reach this category. I hope the quality will continue to be maintained. Huang Fang in the restaurant is very warm and considerate, making me feel at home. I stayed for another night. Thank you Huang Fang. Zhao Zhuhua at the front desk answered all questions and provided enthusiastic service. Although Liyang is a niche city, it is clean and quiet and suitable for citywalk. Liyang Hotel is convenient for travel. The surrounding Gaojing Park is small and beautiful, and Yanshan Park is large and beautiful with flowers blooming in the garden. Yanhu Park is very suitable for walking. Jinling Liyang Hotel is the first choice when you come to Liyang again.

Guest User: I have been on the road, windy meals and lodgings. This time I came to Xiangyang to see the opportunity. In order to save money, I looked for it. I saw that this garden hotel has a very cheap single room without a bathroom. It is really a gospel for people like me who are struggling to survive on the ground floor. The proprietress and the girl at the front desk received me. She was very polite and showed me the room. The room was very clean and the network was very smooth. There were mosquito coils and hot water baths. They were all available. This price is really like a ray of sunshine shining on me. Don't be picky about workers, it's easy to satisfy, and keep working hard. There is no meaning to pick bones in the eggs. The workers must be hard-working and realistic. There is a cheap and good single room for eating and wearing warm, but I will always work hard to strive to live in a single room with a bathroom! Thank you for the free mineral water of the proprietress to relieve my thirst. If I can save it, I will still choose this hotel next time I come to Xiangyang. It is like home!

mask18ed: The hotel's location near the high-speed train station is incredibly convenient. The front desk staff were professional and enthusiastic, making the check-in process very quick. As an InterContinental member, my room was upgraded to a super spacious one with floor-to-ceiling windows – it was fantastic! The desk and free high-speed Wi-Fi met all my basic work needs. Breakfast was definitely a highlight! While the variety wasn't as extensive as a five-star hotel, the quality and taste were both excellent. Plus, they had Liyang's local specialty, black rice, which I absolutely loved! If I come for a business trip again, I'll definitely stay here.

bluewater1007: We booked the Ctrip Lao You Hui (Frequent Guest) discount package and stayed at the Marriott with our elderly parents and child. Traveling with parents always calls for a nicer hotel and a more relaxed pace. Marriott International's quality is consistently reliable—it has all the amenities you'd expect, and everything went smoothly, easily scoring an 80 out of 100. Now, let me highlight what makes the Marriott Liyang especially wonderful! Location: It's very close to the high-speed railway station, which is super convenient for our family as we frequently travel across the country by train. It's within walking distance. Room: The guest relations team, Jack and Derek, were quite attentive. They arranged a room with a view of Liyang Museum's iconic 'giant mushroom' architecture—the view was so stunning I couldn't bear to draw the curtains. My parents really loved the welcome pastries, so I shamelessly asked Jack and Derek for another portion. Keyun from the Western restaurant delivered them to our room in the evening, wearing her uniform apron. When I opened the door, she greeted me with a sweet smile and a cool hairstyle, and thoughtfully brought extra portions to both of our rooms. Evening Executive Lounge: Also quite nice. Our whole family enjoyed a few drinks there and fully unwound on our vacation.

Guest User: When I come to Liyang, I usually stay at Yadu Hotel. The price is affordable, the rooms are neat and clean, the owner is very enthusiastic, and the check-in is fast. I feel like I'm at home. Most importantly, there is free parking outside the door, and there is a small supermarket next door, which makes it convenient to eat (there are many noodle shops and small restaurants nearby). In short, I was very happy on this trip, and this hotel is worth recommending!

Sailunsaisitefenghuang: The room was quite spacious, and the location is excellent. Wuyue Plaza is right downstairs, offering a one-stop shop for food and entertainment. The surroundings are nice, and Yanshan Park is nearby. It's only 2 kilometers from the high-speed rail station, and if you want to go to Shanghecheng Shopping Center in the city center, it's just 3 kilometers! A very good stay experience. Next time I visit Liyang, Wyndham Hotel will definitely be my first choice again!

📍Location: Anlu Liyang Shenxijie Hotel Finally here! The first Anlu in Jiangsu has arrived, tucked away in the valleys of Liyang's Nanshan Bamboo Sea. It's an instant classic, perfectly capturing the Zen spirit of the surrounding landscape. The hotel features a "new Chinese" quiet luxury style, with architecture that follows the contours of the valley. Expansive mirror-like water features reflect the mountains, clouds, sky, and buildings, blending water and landscape into one. Every photo you take looks like a professional landscape shot. A must-visit is the cliff-side mirror infinity pool, which faces the rolling green mountains. When it's sunny, the distant mountains are reflected in the pool water. Watching the sunset over the valley in the evening creates an incredible ambiance. 🏨Accommodation Experience There are 67 rooms in total, starting from 70 sqm. The space is open and airy, with elegant natural wood furnishings that are both quiet and textured. Most room types feature a private hot spring.

It's about 2 hours from Nanjing, 2.5 hours from Shanghai and Hangzhou, and about 1.5 hours from Suzhou and Wuxi. The hotel has a free parking lot with EV charging stations. Public transport: Take the high-speed rail to Liyang Station, then take a taxi for about 40 minutes.

Ingredients are locally sourced, offering light and delicious farm-to-table cuisine. You can enjoy authentic Jiangnan dishes without leaving the mountain. 💡Travel Tips 1. There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains, so remember to bring a light jacket. There are many mosquitoes in the forest, so be sure to bring repellent. 2. Rooms are in high demand during holidays, so booking in advance is recommended. Prices increase on weekends and holidays. 3. There are many curves on the road into the mountains; please slow down when driving on rainy days. 4.

For public transport, you can take a high-speed train to Liyang Station, then take a taxi to the hotel. The hotel is located in a valley, making public transport inconvenient, so driving is preferred. Personal experience Staying at Liyang Ahn Luh this time, I directly felt the tranquility of the Chinese-style garden. Walking into the property, the noise of the city seemed to be blocked out by the mountains. The architectural details are exquisite, and you can always encounter beautiful scenery around every corner. The guest rooms use a simple, natural wood design, and large floor-to-ceiling windows bring the bamboo sea scenery indoors. In my spare time, I walked in the courtyard and drank tea in the tea room, letting go of trivial matters and slowly relaxing. It is very suitable for a short escape from daily city life. Travel tips & precautions 1. The temperature in the valley area is relatively low, and it is noticeably cool in the morning and evening, so bring a jacket 2. There are many plants in the outdoor garden, so take precautions against mosquitoes and carry mosquito repellent with you 3. The mountain trails can be damp, so watch your step and be careful of slipping when walking 4. If using the private hot spring in your room, do not soak on an empty or full stomach, and stay hydrated Off-peak travel tips There are fewer guests on weekdays, making the gardens and public areas quieter with fewer people for photos. On weekends, the crowds increase, so rooms need to be booked in advance. If entering the mountains during the rainy season, the roads are easily slippery, so check the weather forecast before traveling. Accommodation Hotel room types start from 70 sqm, including basic mountain view rooms, mountain view private hot spring suites, and multi-bedroom villas. For a hot spring experience, prioritize room types with a private terrace hot spring. Guest rooms are equipped with high-quality bedding and a full set of branded toiletries, with spacious layouts. Remember to book your room in advance when traveling during peak season. Outfit recommendations Simple and elegant solid-colored clothing is recommended, which fits well for photos in Chinese-style gardens. Pair with comfortable, non-slip flat shoes. It is windy in the mountains, so you can prepare a thin jacket. For photos, you can wear simple "new Chinese-style" clothing for a better atmosphere. Admission tickets Guests staying at the hotel can visit the hotel grounds for free; there is no entrance fee, and accommodation is booked separately. Surrounding attractions like Nanshan Bamboo Sea require separate tickets. Interaction For a short vacation in the Yangtze River Delta, would you prefer to visit popular attractions or find a Chinese-style garden hotel to stay quietly and relax?

Found a hidden gem for a road trip with my bestie: a Liyang mountain utopia! An all-in-one getaway for dining, staying, and relaxing
The best way to escape the city is to take a road trip with your bestie to the Liyang Meijie Mountain Hot Spring Resort. Hidden among vast forests, it feels like stumbling into your own private mountain utopia. The mountain air is crisp in November, the autumn breeze blows through the bamboo sea, and the temperature difference between day and night is getting cooler, making soaking in the hot spring the most healing experience. Everything—dining, staying, and playing—is taken care of within the resort, so there's no need to rush around to tourist spots. It's pure, laid-back vacation mode. 📍Location: Liyang Meijie Mountain Hot Spring Resort, Changzhou. It's very convenient to drive here from the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai area. The drive is full of autumn forest scenery, parking at the resort is easy, and there are shuttle carts, so lazy travelers don't have to struggle with walking the mountain roads. 🏡 Stay | Suspended forest treehouse The detached treehouses are built along the mountain, surrounded by a sea of bamboo, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. Open the window, and you're looking at rolling forests. The rooms are very private, and some room types come with a private hot spring. Soaking in the tub at night while listening to the wind in the forest—it's quiet and relaxing in the November night. The atmosphere is top-notch, and you can just zone out and rest in your room. ♨️ A must-experience hot spring for autumn and winter When you come to Meijie in November, the hot spring is the main event. The cliffside hot spring at the top of the clouds is hidden in the forest, with mist curling up. Soaking in the warm water while looking out at the layered forests dispels the chill of late autumn. At night, you can return to your treehouse to continue enjoying your private hot spring. After soaking, your whole body will feel relaxed, relieving the fatigue accumulated from daily life. 🦙 A leisurely stroll around the resort After a good sleep, go for a stroll at the Shenma Farm, where you can feed alpacas and miniature horses; the pastoral vibe is very comfortable. If you want to get some fresh air, walk the forest trails. The autumn breeze blows through the forest, the air is fresh, and every photo you take looks great. If you want a little excitement, you can try the mountain coaster. If you don't want to move, just find a spot to sit, stare at the mountains, and zone out. A vacation shouldn't be packed with a tight schedule anyway. 🍲 Local mountain delicacies You don't need to go out for meals; you can eat authentic Liyang flavors at the resort restaurant. The milky, delicious Tianmu Lake fish head soup, paired with Liyang Zhagan and bamboo shoots stewed with salted meat—the mountain ingredients are comforting. The breakfast quality is also on point, so you can have a great meal even in the mountains. 💡 November travel tips 1. It's chilly in the mountains in the morning and evening, so be sure to bring a windbreaker. Remember to bring a swimsuit for the hot springs. 2. Treehouse availability is limited, so booking in advance is recommended. 3. If you want more atmosphere, you can book a fireside tea session to drink tea and chat with your bestie, which perfectly fits the relaxed vibe of late autumn. 4. The resort is large, so call for a shuttle cart at any time. No need to force yourself to walk. Escape to this Liyang mountain getaway with your bestie for the weekend—soak in hot springs, breathe in the fresh air, and eat local mountain vegetables. Get away from the city hustle and bustle for an all-in-one relaxing retreat. This is what an ideal short getaway should be.
An immersive, oxygen-rich bamboo forest getaway~
Come to Nanshan Bamboo Sea in Liyang. Planning a route where you take a vehicle up and hike down is so comfortable—it saves energy while letting you slowly soak in the bamboo forest! Route: Scenic area entrance → Jinghu Lake → Bamboo Sea mini train → Shouxing Square → Popular funicular → Jiming Village → Panda Pavilion → Take the funicular back to Shouxing Square → Hike down the trail directly to the entrance. No backtracking required✅ 🎫 Ticket tips: Buying a package (admission ticket + one-way mini train + round-trip funicular) is a great deal! Shouxing Square is the transfer hub; you'll need to take the funicular to get to the Panda Pavilion and Jiming Village. The aerial cable car to the First Peak of Wuyue is a separate ticket; you can add it on if you want to see the panoramic view of the entire bamboo sea. Photo spots on the way up: The giant bronze statue of the God of Longevity is very photogenic; Jiming Village is full of ancient charm with its white walls and black tiles, and there are occasional folk lion dance performances, plus NPC interactions where you can play games to win silver vouchers; you can learn about various bamboo specimens at the Bamboo Culture Garden; the Panda Pavilion has two cute giant pandas. They are more active in the morning and likely to be fast asleep by noon, so I recommend going early. The hike down is about 1.8 km and takes 40–60 minutes. The entire path is shaded by the bamboo forest and super cool! You can wade in the water along the ancient bamboo forest path and shallow streams. There's also a free flamingo pond and a bird paradise where you can see peacocks, parrots, and more. Finally, you'll reach the Jinghu Lake boardwalk. The lake paired with the bamboo forest creates a perfect atmosphere. If you want to try bamboo rafting, you can do it here too. 🍚 Dining recommendation: Kuaile Jiayuan at the entrance of the scenic area offers good value for money. The set meals include Liyang specialties like fish head soup, and the taste is solid. Surrounded by lush greenery, it's perfect for escaping the heat, getting some fresh air, playing in the water, or bringing the kids. A top choice for a getaway in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region!

Tianmu Lake Nanshan Bamboo Sea Scenic Spot
Such a peaceful place to spend a morning surrounded by nature! The bamboo forest and mountain views were beautiful, and we really enjoyed exploring the panda area. Booking through Trip.com was straightforward; we collected our tickets at the ticket office before entering. We arrived shortly after 9 am and finished just before 1 pm. There were no cable car queues and only a short wait for the return funicular. This was a Saturday outside the public holidays, so busier periods may be different. Plenty of walking, drinks stops and restaurants around the entrance made it a lovely family visit.

The little squirrel was very interactive, and it was quite plump and strong, looking like it was living a good life. It was also very lucky to see a peacock displaying its tail feathers; it was very beautiful and impressive.
205***70Tianmu Lake Tourism Resort
Tianmu Lake Scenic Area is a wonderful place with mountains, lake, and boats! A boat trip on the lake offers stunning views of the layered mountains. Longxing Island boasts lush vegetation and fresh air, and the animals are all so cute! Our next stop was the Tea Culture Garden on Tea Island, a great place to visit and learn about tea culture. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we didn't get to see everything and had to take the sightseeing bus out of the park. Overall, it was a worthwhile trip, and I highly recommend everyone to experience this tranquil atmosphere!

GG666888Liyang Museum
We really enjoyed our visit to Liyang Museum! The building’s unusual design caught our attention, but the history and cultural displays inside made it worth exploring. Entry is free, and it’s a lovely stop during a trip to Liyang. The famous Sky Eye is outside beside the entrance, reached by following the steps up and down. Enjoy taking photos there, but don’t miss the museum itself—we loved learning more about the city’s past!
Murray MomentsBamboo Sea Rafting
I took the elderly and children to experience rafting. 95% of the whole process was shaded by trees on both sides, and there was no big slope. It can be said to be a "cowardly rafting" and friendly to the elderly 😂😂! In the spacious and flat area, playing water fights is a great fun. A water scoop is a must, and water guns can be purchased in advance. The children had a lot of fun and wanted to play again 😂

温暖superNanshan Bamboo Sea Tram
On the first weekend of 24 years, I took my family to Nanshan Bamboo Sea to watch giant pandas and lion dance performances. When the child was riding the cable car, a blue sword fell into the car. The driver Xiao Wang in the car was very enthusiastic to help us find it and let us pick it up in the control room at the next station after we got down the mountain. I am very satisfied with the service of Nanshan Bamboo Sea and give it a thumbs up.
M50***53Tianmu Lake Water World
The children especially like the Water World. We went to Suzhou for a few days and on the way back we specially passed by Tianmu Lake and played in the Water World for an entire afternoon. This is the second time we have been there this year. The child said that he would bring his sister here to play in the water next year.
