Traveler reviews
Shang Ming Goh
★★★★★a year agoAn outdoor destination. It’s close to car road & is located just beside the YuHu Bay. You can find it easily because it is quite striking & noticeable. The structure is quite picturesque as the YuHu Bay lies behind it as if the lake water, walkway and greenery become background of it. It’s free admission. There are bus stop nearby so you can reach the destination by bus. It’s within walking distance from Santai Yunshui (三台云水）。
Tram Le
★★★★★7 years agoBeautiful, charming with fresh air. Can be crowded with local tourists. Make sure you can have DiDi - the Chinese Uber. Otherwise can be hard to get cab or it’ll be a rip off.
