5.0 Qingfeng Park (5 reviews)
- Astonishing park

One of the best park that located in residence and society's life, great to have a walk since there are a lot of pedestrians and provides cycling area. Love the benches and some kind of water activity like boats is provided. A very great park to spend with family cause there are some children area play. See more..
5.0 Balong Temple (1 review)
- A nice surprise
Thursday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Religious Sites

I'd driven past this place hundreds of times, always meaning to stop in and visit, then I finally did. It was a very nice surprise. The place is perhaps 10-15 years old, so quite a new construction, but then in China most things are! It is a very large temple complex, lots of out buildings with monks chanting and praying. The pagoda itself is quite lovely on the inside, you can take a lift up and look around multiple floors and look out over the statues in the middle. Entry fee was cheap, don't remember the cost but it was maybe 30rmb? If you're coming in from the main train station, by Didi/taxi it'll cost you ~55rmb or so. You'll need about 1 hour. If you're in Changzhou and are looking for something to do, it's a nice distraction. See more..

4.5 China Dinosaur Park (766 reviews)
- Fantastic theme park and very well-kept
Thursday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Parks

I'm a theme park enthusiast and try to visit a local park everywhere I go. When I consider the Disney parks to be a gold-standard, I would say this park is pretty darn close! The theming was incredible and very well-maintained. There are clean bathrooms in every turn and you can always find a trash can. The workers are friendly and helpful. Signs are clear and have English. The food is diverse but about the quality you would expect from an amusement park. They have some great thrill rides such as DinoConda and a great area for kids. The Dinosaur Museum is really interesting and a can't miss. Entry is 230rmb for adults and 115rmb for children under 1.5 meters tall(China goes by height) and seniors. We had a lovely day there and would highly recommend a visit here. See more..

4.5 Tianning Temple (138 reviews)
- With baby
Religious Sites

I visited with my mum and 2 month year old baby. The temple was amazing- you could spend about 2-3 hours if you wanted to make the most of it. The pagoda itself was incredible- you can take an elevator to the higher floors and the stairs are available for the lower floors. The monks were friendly and there was a range of temple buildings and a garden to walk around. I’ve been in Asia for many years and sometimes I’m quite templed out but this one was worth a visit.

4.5 KongLongGuan (6 reviews)
- 国内主题公园算是运营得不错的少数之一
Speciality Museums

作为本地人，我其实对恐龙什么的不感冒，不过游乐项目还是很新很刺激。过山车最爱……就是排队有点恼火！（我排了4个多小时！！！！！）某旅游网站门票搞活动，所以特意去了。如果是正票价格，有点贵！听说可以买年票，适合本地家庭以及周边城市的朋友。 See more..

4.0 Yancheng Ruins (131 reviews)
- Nice and peaceful
Thursday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Ancient Ruins

Go on a sunny day. It's a very nice park and a lovely place for a picnic. There are next to zero ruins to see but there are signs everywhere telling of the history of this place in English, Chinese,and German. It takes about 1-2 hours to walk around the whole place. It costs 20rmb/adult and 10rmb/student, children, seniors. This does not include the amusement park. See more..
4.0 Changzhou Museum (25 reviews)
- museum was ok, Changzhou planning display was far more interesting
Thursday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums

The Museum has 2 areas, the actual museum door right and the Changzhou city development door left. Both exhibitions were free. This building is open all days except on Monday. The museum was quite small and display comments were predominantly in Mandarin. The museum covers 3 floors and this part of of the building I moved through petty quickly as it was fairly basic. I did actually enjoy the display and the focus for development of the city of Changzhou. This display covers 4 floors in the building and was more interesting to me. The actual museum is a very modern building and the area nearby is worth visiting to simply walk around. Nearby appears to be government offices and the main sports stadium is close to the museum.

4.0 Wanda Plaza (tongjiang road) (12 reviews)
- Shopping for regular people
Thursday: 9:30 AM - 9:00 PM Shopping Malls

Unlike literally EVERY other shopping centre in China, this place is NOT filled with ultra expensive, high end, brand name stores. It has regular stores that have regularly priced items. I mean, sure, practically the entire mall is Inditex (Zara, Pull&Bear, Stradivarius, Oysho, Massimo Dutti, Berksha), Adidas, Nike, and a Walmart, but it's affordable stuff. This place is huge, has a neat design, has several excellent restaurants, and free shows in the large open spaces on the main floor. For a mall, it's a great place. See more..

4.0 Canal 5 Dock (5 reviews)
- Artsy Refurbished Old Factory
Spent 1-2 hours Art Galleries

This was a former factory from the Mao era that has been refurbished into an art museum. It feels very hipster, and during times when it has art galleries, it is actually really nice. It would help a lot to know Chinese, as a lot of the information is not in English. However, it still is a interesting site regardless of any language barrier and I definitely recommend it. See more..

3.5 Tuyidao Root Carving Art Museum (2 reviews)
- Marvelous Carvings Terrible Signage
Art Museums

An absolute gem! There weren't too many exhibits but they were certainly beautiful carvings. The carver(s) definitely paid much attention to details and were definitely meticulous in their work. Having said that, however, getting there was a disaster. My friend and I ended up going around Hong Mei Park trying to find this place. I see that you list the museum on Luohan Road. It's actually on Xiao Dong Men Road. See more..
