With the dog days of summer drawing near, everyone wants to cool off by sitting in air-conditioned rooms and playing computer games all day. However, this is not healthy. The city of Taicang offers several places to visit for those seeking cooler temperatures.

Modern Agricultural Park

Taicang Modern Agricultural Park boasts green trees and greenhouses with constant temperatures, allowing visitors to enjoy the natural beauty and escape the summer heat.

There is an exhibition hall in the park, displaying high-tech patented agricultural cultivation technologies such as pipes cultivation.

The exhibition hall also has more than 300 kinds of ornamental plants that are both novel and surprising, including big pumpkins with a weight of 150 kg, tomato plants higher than two meters, and tropical fruit trees such as papaw and wax apple.

In addition, the park includes a Chinese rose garden, wetland museum, rose garden and ecological restaurant, encouraging visitors to spend a whole day there.

South Garden

The South Garden is a quiet refuge in the noisy city thanks to its large-sized lotus flowers that symbolize peace and quiet. Over 800 lotus flowers in more than 100 varieties can be seen blooming in summer.

The garden, with a history of over 300 years, is considered a good place to escape the summer heat, bringing both physical and mental comfort.

Yanshan Garden, Jincang Lake and Shaxi town are also ideal summer resorts in the hot summer.
