Tianmu Lake Resort Guide

Real coordinates · smooth curved route
The Tianmu Lake Tourist Resort in southern Liyang, Changzhou, Jiangsu, takes its name from the Tianmu Mountain range and was formed by merging the Shahe and Daxi reservoirs. This 5A-rated resort is cradled by bamboo groves and tea terraces. Its highlights are the Shanshui Garden, the Nanshan Bamboo Sea and the Yushui Hot Spring: cruise to the tea island in the lake, wander through ten thousand mu of bamboo to meet giant pandas, soak in one of China's top ten hot springs, and taste Liyang white tea and Tianmu Lake fish head. We suggest half a day for the Shanshui Garden, half to a full day for the bamboo sea, and a separate half-day for the hot spring.

    about 570 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
  3. Cruise Pier
    about 2070 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
    Walk along the lakeshore to the cruise dock and prepare to take a boat tour on the lake. Why this route: Cruise Line B departs from here.
  4. Longxing Island

    Take cruise Line B and first land on Longxing Island: Half-Moon Pool, Butterfly Valley, Tianmu Viewpoint and more. Why this route: the first stop of the official cruise Line B.
  5. China Tea Island
    about 2430 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
    Cruise to China Tea Island: Tea Culture Garden, the World's Largest Teapot, and Jiangnan Tea Village. Why this route: the second island in the lake, themed on tea culture.
  6. Ocean World
    about 850 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
    Take the cruise back to the dock and walk to Hulishan Ocean World (Underwater World). Why this route: Ocean World is onshore next to the dock; the official site suggests visiting it last after the lake cruise.
  7. Lakeside Teahouse
    about 820 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
    Leave Shanshui Garden by car (self-drive or tour bus) and head to Nanshan Bamboo Sea. Why this route: the two parks are about 13 km apart, so you must take a vehicle.
  8. Nanshan Bamboo Sea Entrance
    about 9800 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Entrance
    Take the scenic-area mini train to Longevity Square — the transfer hub inside the Bamboo Sea. Why this route: Longevity Square is the junction for the cableway and the ground cable car.

    about 3020 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Entrance
    After returning by ground cable car, take a vehicle to the Yushui Hot Spring entrance. Why this route: Yushui Hot Spring sells separate tickets and requires a vehicle to reach.
