For a small city, having a free lake area like Tuanjiu is a very happy thing. Therefore, people often proudly compare its scenery with that of the West Lake. The sightseeing area of Tuanjiu is mainly concentrated on the east bank and south bank. There are park-like landscapes with small bridges and flowing water built by the lake, and there are green belts. Taking a walk along the lake, couples sit by the lake and talk in soft voices. Here is the life of a small city. From north to south on the east bank of Tuanjiu are successively Jubin Square, Jubin Park, and Wu Shi Nanmu Hall. There are often children skating in Jubin Square. Jubin Park is almost a place where every local living in the city will go for a walk. Especially in summer nights, it is very pleasant to enjoy the lake breeze and cool off. Wu Shi Nanmu Hall is a relatively valuable and worth-seeing historical site in the Tuanjiu Scenic Area. It was built in the Ming Dynasty and there are currently four courtyards. It was originally in the old city area and was moved to its current location in the 1990s. Yiyuan on the south bank is a modern antique garden. Pavilions, terraces, and rockeries are in perfect order. Yunxi Tower, which extends into Tuanjiu Lake on the west side, is the landmark building of Yiyuan. Coming to Yiyuan in spring, you can fly kites on the large lawn. In summer, you can enjoy lotus flowers. There is also a small maze in the garden for you to walk and play. 400 meters east of the Tuanjiu Scenic Area is a very lively street in Yixing. There are many restaurants around this street. Near the Jinxiu vegetable market near the street, there is a local food street. There are also many restaurants on Jiefang Road connected to Jubin Park. It is also a place for having tea. Zijing Teahouse and Yangxian Renjia near Jiefang Square are both elegant and well-reputed teahouses. They also provide meals. In the evening, come to the teahouse, slowly taste Yangxian tea in a purple clay pot, have dinner, and then stroll to the lake to see the beautiful night view of Tuanjiu. The leisure of the small city is all here. Opening hours: Open all year round from 06:00 to 17:00.
