About Shajiabang-Yushan Shanghu Tourism Area

A mix of revolutionary history and lake scenery near Changshu. Shajiabang recalls the anti-Japanese guerrilla past with its reed-marsh waterways, while Yushan Hill and Shanghu Lake offer forest and lakeside walks.

Highlights

Suggested Route

Two-day plan: Day 1 Shajiabang reed maze and shows; Day 2 climb Yushan then stroll Shanghu water forest; each area needs half a day.

Food & Lodging

Facilities

Parking, battery carts, reed-maze rowing boats and bamboo rafts, restrooms; some slopes on Yushan limit wheelchair use (unverified).
