Jiaxing South Lake

Reviewed By ConwenChang - Castlegar, Canada

This is a little lake with a little boat, a little building with a little of communist party history. Nothing much fancy. I went there a lot as a child, just because it is a historical site for the first Chinese communist party's national meeting. It used to be better since the water quality were, now, just not worth too much. However, Jiaxing the city is an interesting medium size economic blooming place.

Yanguan Tidal Wave Watching

Reviewed By Sheila K

We did not go for the annual event, which I'm sure would have been interesting, but maybe too crowded. We went on a full moon day, but the wave was small, although it was interesting that it moved sideways, not coming in to shore like a regular wave. I grew up in southern California, so am used to seeing big waves. This was quite small. I don't know if there was a charge because it was part of a tour we went on outside of Haining.

Nanbei Lake of Jiaxing

Reviewed By hlinajs - Slovakia

I use to drive bicycle to NanBei lake from Haining city. Lake is located between the hills near to coast. It is laid-back area with less tourist. You can just walk around the lake, visit small island in the middle or rent a boat. Local people selling souvenirs and fruits. If you cannot speak basic Chinese you will have problem to order a meal in restaurants as they do not have English menu or menu with pictures. From the hills above is nice view of lake and from eastern hill you can see Hangzhou bay. I have never met a foreigner there, it is really not a known attraction. And actually not worth for visit as there are plenty of others in China.

Qiantang Tide

Reviewed By hlinajs - Slovakia

I arrived on bicycle from Haining city, drove direction south on #203 Provincial road, which leads to Wengjin road along river bank. Through the first small village between Wengjin rd and river drove to the levee of Qiantang river. A couple of steps up to the levee and I could see endless Qiantang river. It was sunny day, without wind so river looked very tranquil, no waves at all. Suddenly, on horizon a white line of the tidal wave appeared and soon a sound of rolling water could be heard and noise was increasing as wave was approaching. At the end the massive tidal wave crashed with river bank and wall of water splashed the coast. After that Qiantang river waters were darker, muddy and violent as waves bounced back to river.
Very impressive to see such power of nature.

Jiaxing Chen Gelao House

Reviewed By bangzi - Boise, Idaho

this huge house and garden started in late ming dynasty, after chen yuanlong became the prime mister in later qing dynasty, the compound was expanded and uplifted to match the official's status. the remaining parts of the compound still occupied 4700+sqm with 1100sqm in buildings. a very example of ancient Chinese garden homes with extensive woodworks, rocks and plants of the rich and the powerful.
local folklore was created to make believe that this chen gelao was indeed the birth father of emperor Qianlong who was switched at birth with a royal daughter. the whole thing was based on the fact that Qianlong indeed was very fond of this area and showed special favor to the chen family.

《再别康桥》
轻轻的我走了,
正如我轻轻的来;
我轻轻的招手,
作别西天的云彩。
那河畔的金柳,
是夕阳中的新娘;
波光里的艳影,
在我的心头荡漾。
软泥上的青荇,
油油的在水底招摇;
在康河的柔波里,
甘心做一条水草!
那榆荫下的一潭,
不是清泉,是天上虹;
揉碎在浮藻间,
沉淀着彩虹似的梦。
寻梦?撑一支长篙,
向青草更青处漫溯;
满载一船星辉,
在星辉斑斓里放歌。
但我不能放歌,
悄悄是别离的笙箫;
夏虫也为我沉默,
沉默是今晚的康桥!
悄悄的我走了,
正如我悄悄的来;
我挥一挥衣袖,
不带走一片云彩。

Yunxiu Temple

Reviewed By ヨシィー - Hangzhou, China

南北湖の畔にある鹰窠山の山腹にある尼寺です。文献によると960年頃に創立され、その後普陀山に倭寇襲来等で普陀山の尼僧が当地に移り住んだそうです。伝説では普陀山の僧侶が増えたので龍の娘のお告げのより当地に尼僧が移り住んだとの事。現在では面影はありませんが、庵の施設は老朽化しており歴史がある建物なので復旧して貰いたいと思います。

鹰窠山の山頂を目指して行くと左側に建物が見えてきます。南北湖から歩いて行きましたが結構疲れました。バスも有るのでバスで行くと楽です。入場料を払い敷地内に入ると白雲閣の建物が目の前に見えます。建物2階からの南北湖の眺望が良かったです。
