I highly recommend going to Hongmei Park. It’s free, a national key park, and a 4A tourist attraction. However, the Tianning Pagoda and Tianning Temple next to it cost money.

Take bus No. 9 at the entrance of Hongmei Park and you can go directly to Qingfeng Park, the largest open park in Changzhou, which is located under the Bell Tower District Government.

Isn't it the Laimeng Metropolis Pedestrian Street in Changzhou across from South Street? It's not as popular as South Street, but it's more modern than South Street. I personally like the environment there.

There is the Ming Dynasty City Wall opposite Lemen Metropolis, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through the city of Changzhou (but there are no ships in sight now, because the old canal in the city is closed to navigation, and all ships have left through the new canal. It is said that the canal will be opened for tourism)

(I don’t know if the line has been officially opened yet). Past the Ming City Wall is the short Grate Lane. It has been repaired, so it looks relatively new. Emperor Qianlong came here when he went to Jiangnan.

There is also Yancheng Park in Wujin District, which is antique on the outside and contains the real Yancheng ruins inside, as well as the Yancheng Wildlife Park.

There are so many delicious places in Changzhou. Distinctive time-honored brands, a bowl of Changzhou-style tofu soup, a small dumpling, pastry shop, Sanxian Food City, and Chuanliang Food City are all located in New Century.

There are food courts on the 3rd floor of South Street Pedestrian Street, the 2nd floor and 3rd floor of Lemon Metropolis. You can choose the place you like.

There is also Guanghua Road, a street with ethnic fish boats, Jeonju Bibimbap, and Niutou Restaurant, etc. which are all good.

There are restaurants of all sizes in the city.

It depends on personal preference.
