There are countless ways to explore Jiangnan, but this time, we want to offer you something different. No rushing, no worries, just time to truly enjoy the scenery. GreenTourAsia has been dedicated to the travel industry for 30 years, putting our heart into every journey.

You just enjoy the view; leave the rest to us. First stop: Yuantouzhu (Turtle Head Isle). Here you'll understand why "the finest scenery of Lake Tai is at Turtle Head Isle."

As the boat slowly leaves the shore, the lake breeze brushes your face, and the wake at the stern gleams white. In the distance, Sanshan Fairy Island floats in the mist like an ink wash painting still wet. In the afternoon, head to Plum Garden, a century-old garden where pavilions hide among lush greenery.

"Plums give the hills their spirit, and hills give plums their charm." Over 5,000 plum trees grow here, offering different beauty in every season. Stroll along the rock paths, and around each corner lies a new scene.

The care ancient builders put into these gardens lives in these subtle details. Day two begins at Lingshan. A private car takes you to the Lingshan Grand Buddha scenic area.

Passing through the carved wall, you spot from afar the 88-meter-tall bronze Buddha. Looking up at it, the noise of the world seems to fade away. As the music for the Nine Dragons Bathing the Buddha begins, nine bronze dragons spout clear water simultaneously, streams converging from all directions to bathe the statue.

In the afternoon, step into Nianhua Bay and walk down Xiangyuehua Street, where Tang Dynasty elegance is right at your fingertips. At night, the dazzling Wishing Square comes alive with song and dance performances in various styles, plus flying performers and molten iron fireworks scattering across the sky, warm and romantic. If you have any questions about the itinerary, feel free to contact customer service, and we'll customize a trip just for you.

On the final day, wake up to the morning light in Huishan Ancient Town. Your guide will help you avoid the crowds and lead you into alleys only locals know. Gray bricks, dark tiles, ancient wells and deep courtyards: a thousand years of history slows down here.

In the afternoon, war drums thunder at Three Kingdoms City. Clashing weapons and galloping horses make you feel as if you've stepped back into an age of heroes. Stillness and motion, past and present, all come together on this day.

Three days is short, but just enough to make you fall in love with traveling again. GreenTourAsia makes every journey worth remembering.
