Getting Around and Tips
- Getting around: Take Metro Line 11 to Jiading North or Jiading West Station to reach the old town. From there, rent a shared bike or take a taxi. If driving, navigate to the Jiading Museum parking lot or a car park near your destination; parking in the old town can be tight on weekends.
- Tips: Huilongtan Park may be temporarily closed for construction, so check its status before setting out. Qiuxia Garden and Guyi Garden cover a lot of ground, so wear comfortable flat shoes. Fahua Pagoda requires a separate ticket, and its opening hours vary; check on-site for current arrangements.
