Recommended Changzhou Tourist Itineraries & Travel Schedules
Two-Day Ancient City Tour
Highlights include the Tang-dynasty Tianning Temple, the Southern Dynasties Wenbi Pagoda, and Su Dongpo’s Boat-Docking Pavilion from the Northern Song Dynasty — all iconic landmarks of the old town are covered.
Day 1: Tianning Temple → Hongmei Park → Boat-Docking Pavilion → Bijili Lane
After breakfast, visit Tianning Temple to admire classical Buddhist architecture, then climb the pagoda for a panoramic overlook of Changzhou’s cityscape. Afterwards, stroll through Hongmei Park located north of the temple.
Following lunch, tour the Boat-Docking Pavilion, first built in the Southern Song Dynasty. This is where the great Northern Song literary giant Su Dongpo moored his boat and set foot on Changzhou’s land. Next, visit Bijili Lane, also known as Flower Market Street. It sits on the north bank of the ancient Grand Canal in western Changzhou, right alongside the waterway. Changzhou has been famous for making fine-tooth combs and wooden hair combs since ancient times, earning reputations such as “Palace Combs & Famous Fine-Tooth Combs” and “Changzhou Combs Rank First Under Heaven”. Every household along this historic lane makes combs as their livelihood, and visitors can purchase handmade combs as souvenirs after sightseeing.
Day 2: Yancheng Ruins → Qu Qiubai Memorial Hall
After breakfast, take a 15-minute drive to the Spring and Autumn Period Yancheng Ruins. The site is encircled by three layers of moats. From the inner core outwards lie the Subcity, Subcity Moat, Inner City, Inner Moat, Outer City and Outer Moat — a unique layout of three nested cities separated by three waterways. This architectural form is one-of-a-kind among all ancient city relics in China; most ancient cities feature one city with one moat, while only a small number have two cities paired with one or two moats. The Yancheng Ruins stretch 850 meters from east to west and 750 meters from north to south, perfectly matching the record in Mencius that describes “a city three li across, with an outer wall seven li around”.
After the tour, head back to downtown Changzhou for lunch, then visit the Qu Qiubai Memorial Hall to pay tribute to the revolutionary martyr.
