Caoshan, Liyang
曹山（曹山慢城）
A hilly resort in northern Liyang, linking flower fields, tea gardens and lakes. It is a rural leisure destination on the northern stretch of Liyang Route No. 1.
Caoshan lies around Bieqiao Town in northern Liyang City. It is a rural resort of low hills and lakes, developed on the concept of a “slow city.” It has flower fields, tea gardens, lakeside paths, camping grounds and boutique guesthouses. Spring is the most popular season, when cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers bloom, and weekends are good for driving or cycling. Caoshan lies on the northern section of Liyang Route No. 1 and can be combined with Lishiwei and Changdang Lake for a day trip through the countryside. The core areas are mostly free, though some flower fields and rides charge admission, so check on site. It is about 20 km from Liyang city centre and about 1 hour by car from downtown Changzhou.
