[2025 Suzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Yuyang Mountain (Updated Jul)

The sunset at the small fishing village is peaceful, and the night sky is filled with stars. Aircraft with bright lights fly through the starry array, looking from afar like a star escaping, caught by me relaxing by the lake. 🏨 Cling Homestay (Taihu Fishing Port Branch) 🚗 Weekend leisure trip around Shanghai, 2h30m drive > A romantic and bright lakeside cottage, booked the "One Color" 270° starry sky lake view room. Initially attracted by the wide view and sunset scenery, it met expectations. The balcony is perfect for photos. Enjoying dinner on the balcony at dusk, accompanied by the sunset and gentle afterglow. The homestay also provided coffee and soft drinks. After sunset, continue stargazing. > A great place to watch stars, over 70 visible to the naked eye. Occasionally, planes pass through the starry array, like 0.5x meteors, creating a very romantic night sky. It reminds me of Mr. Ba Jin’s "Stars"— “I look at those many familiar stars, as if they are winking at me. I seem to hear them whispering softly.” “Although starlight is tiny to our naked eyes, it makes us feel that light is everywhere.” 🍚 Food Recommendations: Taihu Noodle House Shiba Jiao (p8, in the same Fishing Port Village as the homestay, good to go for breakfast at 8:30, fewer people) Cuiping Mountain Farmhouse Restaurant (key point! Located in Fuli Village, Guangfu Town, the chicken soup is super delicious! Highly recommended!) Large parking lot at the entrance 🎫 Nearby Attractions: Muke Bookstore · Full Lake View Cloud Cafe Restaurant Next to it is the red-billed gull check-in hotspot, but it’s only available from December to February. The sunset scenery is very beautiful. Shibi Yonghui Zen Temple (p7) About a 2 km round trip hike from the foot of the mountain to Yonghui Zen Temple stone carvings. You can overlook Fishing Port Village from the mountain. The century-old ginkgo trees in the temple are beautiful in autumn. Yuyang Mountain Scenic Area Two ways to explore: take the cable car into the scenic area to hike and enjoy the sunset, or hike the famous Yuyang Mountain Bat Trail, about 10 km. Tips: 1. The homestay is inside Fishing Port Village. On weekends and holidays, volunteers at the village entrance may not allow outside cars in. Showing the homestay booking allows entry, but parking is difficult. Communicate with the homestay in advance; the housekeeper can help arrange parking. 2. Homestay breakfast starts late, at 9 am. Early risers can find food in the village. Near the market, there is a dim sum shop and a small stall, or you can go to Taihu Noodle House Shiba Jiao where there are fewer people in the morning.

|It is said to be Altay in Suzhou. Yuyang Mountain, surrounded by lakes on three sides, is a great place to enjoy the scenery of Taihu Lake. I was forced to postpone my trip but couldn’t resist the beautiful pictures on the Internet, so I went into the mountain with my bag and camera. There were not many people on the mountain and the scenery was great. I encountered a group of Samoyeds many times along the way, it was really wonderful! On the road, I also met a girl who came from Shanghai alone. We took some nice photos of each other. It turns out that you can really meet people with the same feelings on the road. Navigate to Suzhou Bank Resort Branch P free The Bat Line is 11 km long. Time for daydreaming and taking a walk: 4h~4.5h Difficulty taste Newbie-friendly Pet friendly Family friendly Intimate tips 1. If you go in the afternoon, it is recommended to start at around 1 o'clock, including clockwise, because it takes about 3 and a half hours to walk clockwise to the road along the lake. You can watch the sunset around 4 to 4:30, which is super beautiful when the weather is good. 2. It is not difficult and the energy consumption is not high. If the weather is cold, it is enough to bring two bottles of water. 3. Pay attention to adding clothes in time. When the temperature is low, it is easy to catch a cold if you sweat and then catch a cold. 4. There is only a toilet in Yuyang Pavilion in the mountain, so you should go to the toilet before going up the mountain. 5. The Bat Line needs to pass through the Yuyangshan Tunnel section, please pay attention to safety About taking photos • The pine forest trail in the mountains is really nice for taking photos in the afternoon • There is a lawn on the top of the mountain, and when visibility is high, you can overlook Taihu Lake • The observation deck is also a great photo spot • The road around the lake is great for taking photos, and you can also camp there • There is a large lawn between the Taihu Lake Highway and the Yuyangshan Tunnel. Many people camped there and took great photos. I would like to thank the friends I met on the road and the "male celebrities" who appeared in the photos. No trace in the mountains, no open flames allowed

Taihu Yuyangshan is located near Lake Tai, one of China's five largest freshwater lakes. There are records that a local leader was buried at the foot of the mountain during the reign of Emperor Yu (2200 BC). It's a historic mountain. You can climb Yuyangshan by ropeway, so even those who aren't confident in mountain climbing can get there.👌 The hiking trail is also a paved slope, so you can go there like you're hiking.👍 I took the ropeway up and walked back. There was also a plum orchard near the entrance to the Yuyangshan Scenic Area. I visited in early March and found the flowers blooming in perfect harmony☺️ 📍Taihu Yuyang Mountain Scenic Area ☑︎Address Taihu Daqiao No. 2 Bridge Entrance, Wuzhong District, Suzhou City ☑︎Opening hours 8:30-17:00 (entrance closed at 16:50) ☑︎Price 〈Admission fee〉80 yuan 〈Ropeway〉 One way: 30 yuan Round trip: 50 yuan 〈Admission fee + ropeway〉 One way: 90 yuan Round trip: 100 yuan ☑︎Access From the subway "Taihu Xiangshan" station, take the route bus "Express Line 11" or "691" and get off at the bus stop "Yushan Park Station", about 1 minute walk #SuzhouTourism #Suzhou #China #Mountaineering #ChinaTrip #ChinaTourism

The Taihu Yuyangshan Ropeway offers an aerial view of Lake Tai, one of China's five largest freshwater lakes. This is the only place in Suzhou where you can ride a ropeway, so it was crowded with families with small children on weekends☺️ Lake Tai is so large that you can't see the opposite shore. The view that spread out before your eyes was very pleasant. 📍Taihu Yuyang Mountain Ropeway ☑︎Address Taihu Bridge No. 2 Entrance, Wuzhong District, Suzhou City ☑︎Business hours 8:30-17:00 (entrance closed at 16:50) ☑︎Price 〈Admission fee〉80 yuan 〈Ropeway〉 One-way: 30 yuan Round-trip: 50 yuan 〈Admission fee + ropeway〉 One-way: 90 yuan Round-trip: 100 yuan ☑︎Access From the subway "Taihu Xiangshan" station, take the route bus "Express Line 11" or "691" and get off at the bus stop "Yushan Park Station", then walk for about 1 minute #SuzhouTourism #Suzhou #China #ChinaTrip #ChinaTourism #Ropeway

Yuyangshan faces the lake and has been a great place to see the beauty of Taihu Lake since ancient times. After re-engineering in 2015, the park has added 30,000 square meters of lawns and more than 800 trees. There is a battery car at the gate of the scenic spot, and there is a cable car in the scenic area. If you don't want to go, you can take the battery car directly to Yuyang Pavilion, where you can overlook the entire Taihu Lake scenery. There is a tea room next to Yuyang Pavilion. The interior is simple and elegant. If you are tired, you can sit here and have a cup of tea. The tea room has a wide view. When the weather is fine and the visibility is high, it is very suitable for leisurely days. The spring of each year is the most beautiful season in Yuyangshan Taoyuan. I was worried that the flowers would not be opened early. Who knows that Wu Zhongxing can see all kinds of flowers every day. The scenery around Taoyuan is beautiful, picturesque and dreamlike. The pink-white peach blossoms are brightly flanked by branches, and the petals of the wind are falling, like flying butterflies, like flying snow, beautiful and lingering.
