Choose the service that suits you
See how to take part →Check the provider's accepted documents, phone requirements and service language before paying.
Check booking conditions →Canal heritage and urban museums, with separate excursions to Tianmu Lake, Liyang and Jintan. Stay near the city-center sights if most of your trip is urban; choose an overnight nearer an outlying excursion when that removes repeated long transfers. A municipality name can cover several county cities, hills and coastlines, so the five-day plan offers choices by geography rather than a compulsory checklist.
Walk Hongmei Park, select Tianning temple or pagoda entry and explore Qingguo Lane. Dongpo Park is an optional short additional stop after allowing urban walking time.
Give Changzhou Museum its own session, then transfer to a selected Ancient Canal/Nandajie walk and Canal 5. Each exhibition is independently admitted.
Choose China Dinosaur Park, Yancheng Spring and Autumn Park or Joyland as the full-day focus. These are alternatives with separate products and locations.
Travel to Liyang, visit Shanshui Garden with boat operation checked, and add Liyang Museum only if the session and transfers fit. Overnighting can reduce repeated travel.
Use Nanshan Bamboo Sea as a dedicated outdoor day. Oriental Salt Lake City or Maoshan Forest World are separate Jintan alternatives; do not combine all three.
Open the individual visit guides to check which venue or area your ticket covers. Confirm current opening hours, prices, reservations and the passport process through the venue’s official channel before you go. Bring the original passport used for booking and save your confirmation offline. If the form only accepts a mainland ID, ask the venue how overseas visitors should book. Check eligibility before relying on a discount or walk-up ticket, and confirm whether a tour or guided activity includes admission.
Spring and autumn; outdoor rides, lake boats and hill paths depend on weather. Keep an indoor collection day movable, but independently confirm that museum’s session and admission. When a boat, lift, ridge or waterfront closes, follow the official shortened route or change the day; do not replace it with an unofficial operator.

常州古运河南大街文化旅游区
Zhonglou District · culture
The canal edge, Xiyingli and the commercial streets reveal how an old transport corridor meets today's city. It is best read as a neighborhood route, with bridges and waterside views connecting separate buildings.
运河五号创意街区
Zhonglou District · culture
Reused industrial spaces beside the old canal offer a small-scale contrast to the city's formal gardens. Look at the surviving factory forms and canal relationship, then choose a current exhibition or café rather than expecting a uniform museum.
常州博物馆
Xinbei District · museum · history
The museum is useful for local archaeology and Changzhou history before visiting the canal neighborhoods. The civic-center setting also makes it a sensible indoor anchor on a weather-sensitive itinerary.
中华恐龙园休闲旅游区
Xinbei District · family
Dinosaur exhibits and large rides make this a family destination with a different rhythm from a canal walk. Start with the attraction or indoor dinosaur display that matters most to your group; walking between themed zones consumes real time.
东坡公园
Tianning District · park · nature
The park commemorates Su Dongpo beside Changzhou's canal heritage. Its pavilions and compact planted landscape suit a reflective short walk rather than a destination that needs an entire day.
环球动漫嬉戏谷
Wujin District · family
Anime and game-inspired scenery and rides make Joyland a purposeful theme-park trip. It lies away from the old-city museum cluster, so a hurried late-afternoon arrival wastes the main reason to go.
红梅公园
Tianning District · park · nature
Hongmei Pavilion, Wenbi Tower and garden water create an accessible introduction to Changzhou's old-city landscape. Look for the relationship between paths, ponds and the visible Tianning pagoda rather than walking every corner.
溧阳市博物馆
Liyang City · museum · history
The museum provides local context and a distinctive contemporary building, useful before or after the lake countryside. The exterior is only part of the experience; leave time for the collections instead of treating it solely as a photograph stop.
茅山森林世界
Jintan District · nature
Wooded hills and outdoor recreation make this a physically different visit from Dao Tianxia's streets. Choose activities according to your group's mobility and tolerance for heights, rather than trying every advertised installation.
南山竹海
Liyang City · nature
Dense bamboo and a hill setting distinguish Nanshan from Tianmu Lake's waterfront. Slopes and optional internal transport matter more than the distance suggested by a tourist map.
东方盐湖城·道天下景区
Jintan District · nature
This Jintan destination combines Daoist-themed streets, landscape and staged experiences. Its appeal is a coherent themed environment; do not confuse it with an unrestricted ancient residential town or the separate Maoshan mountain entrances.
青果巷
Tian Ning Qu · culture
Canal-side lanes and courtyard houses make Qingguo Lane the best compact setting for understanding Changzhou's residential history. Famous residents' houses reward selective interior visits; the whole street should not be reduced to a shopping stop.
山水园
Liyang City · nature
This is the developed lakeside visitor area at Tianmu Lake, combining wooded shores and water views. Its value is a slow landscape visit; an island boat connection, if operating, changes the walking route and the time needed.
天宁禅寺
Tian Ning Qu · religion · history
Temple courtyards and the prominent pagoda give Changzhou's old skyline a religious focus. Treat worship areas respectfully and distinguish the monastery visit from any climb or exhibition within the pagoda.
春秋乐园
Wujin District · family
The attraction uses Spring and Autumn period imagery as a theme-park setting. Distinguish entertaining reconstructions and rides from the neighboring archaeological earthworks; both can be interesting for different reasons.
戈小兴中外烟标烟具博物馆
Tianning District · museum · culture
江苏西太湖影视产业基地
Wujin District · culture · family
嘉泽状元坊文化旅游区
