The Five Dynasties Wuyue Kingdom White Pagoda plus a heritage park on the site of the 1907 Jiangshu Railway: the pagoda is the only surviving Wuyue stone pagoda imitating timber construction; the rails and a green vintage train converted into a sightseeing line are social-media hotspots — industrial relics and an ancient pagoda share one park. In cherry-blossom season, the train framed against seas of flowers makes picture-perfect shots. Free and open all day, within walking distance of Metro Line 4 Shuichengqiao Station; suits a half-day for families and photographers.
Getting there: Metro Line 4, Shuichengqiao Station
