Maoshan Oriental Salt Lake City is situated at the core of the Oriental Salt Lake City. Inspired by the roots of Chinese culture – the I Ching and the Bagua, it has been constructed with a layout of ‘one observation deck, eight courtyards, ten hostels, twenty exhibition halls, and a hundred shops with a thousand rooms’. Integrating unique mountain dwellings, cultural exhibition halls, and folk performances, it has become a new favorite for family outings in Changzhou. Here, one can enjoy spring outings, summer folk songs, autumn health preservation, and winter customs. During the day, visitors can explore various exhibition halls, savor culinary delights from around the world, and experience the magical eight courtyards. At night, the lakeside bars offer a sleepless night in the mountains.
Tour guides lead visitors through the town, with continuous exciting performances throughout the four seasons. Each season in the town offers different beautiful scenery, with four main towns presenting spectacular shows: the grand and imposing morning bells and evening drums, the joyful and amusing Hip-hop Tao, the dreamlike Jixian Sacred Land, and the enchanting Xiaoyao Fantasy Realm. Additionally, there are folk acrobatics, storytelling in Pingtan opera, and flash mobs that keep the excitement going.
Fun in the town includes experiencing time travel through costume changes, boating on the lake, and engaging in hands-on experiences that are full of joy, allowing visitors to feel the leisurely charm of the small town. Here, there is continuous joy throughout the four seasons: tea picking and tasting in spring, water-splashing carnivals in summer, specialty cuisine in autumn, and hot spring celebrations in winter.
Museums offer interesting experiences like learning idioms at the Zhi Fang, showcasing the profoundness of Chinese culture; stargazing at Yun Guan Tian Jie, revealing the mysteries of the night sky; and the Intangible Cultural Heritage Paper Flower Array, preserving classic culture with skill and creativity.
Tasting the town involves indulging in authentic mountain cuisine that awakens your taste buds. Maoshan’s distinctive snacks are fragrant and delicious, with mountain delicacies and lake freshness that are nutritious and immersive. The martial arts-themed dining show, Jianghu Feast, makes a grand entrance, offering a new type of social experience that livens up the town.
