Changzhou, China Guide & Hotel Reservations from Cheap Hotels Worldwide

If you are looking for an unforgettable vacation, then take a close look at Changzhou, China. You will find Changzhou in East Central China in the province of Jiangsu on the Grand Canal. The population is 683,300 and it has a very compatible climate. You will find many accommodations and places to dine before you start out exploring this wonderful city.

In Changzhou, you will find the Jin Yuan Garden, which is a small classical garden that was landscaped in the Qing period between 1688 and 1672. It has also kept some of the late Ming dynasty. It will be a wonderful insight to how the past years were brought into the future. Another must see is Plum tree Park and in its center stands the Hongmei Ge Pavilion that was built between 1008 and 1016. Here you will find a seven story Pagoda that is shaped like a paint brush and overlooks a panoramic view of the city.

Your next stop will be the Temple of Heavenly Peace, which is located in the Old Town and known as the Monastery of Great Rapture. This was built in 901, but the six halls that exist today were all built in 1644 to 1911 and is still quite an expressive site. There is also a stone here that is a representation of the 500 Arhats in stone that is well worth seeing. You will also find the ruins of Yan from the dynasty of the Western Zhou southwest of Changzhou and this is one of the best preserved old towns of China. This is a trip of a lifetime and will live in your memory long after you have returned home.
