Don't buy anything from the stores around there, it's probably fake, I was at the nike store and was just about to pay then I looked at the shoe and thought it looked a bit weird, so I googled nike stores near me and there were no stores near me, so I asked the staff if it was real and it wasn't. When I went to adidas, they said it was real but obviously it was all fake.

(Translated by Google) The museum was more interesting than I expected. The inside was divided into two main areas, one was a regular museum, and the other was promoting the policies of the Changzhou city government. Foreigners could enter the museum by simply showing their passports. When I went there, there was a special exhibition on dinosaurs, and a permanent exhibition on a variety of subjects, including the history of Changzhou, flora and fauna. I was able to enter the Changzhou City Government's publicity area without having to do anything special. This was also more worth seeing than I expected, with exhibits showing what kind of city Changzhou is, what the Changzhou city government is planning to build, and what they are planning to do with Changzhou in the future. The highlight of this area is the miniature of Changzhou city on the top floor. The miniature, which took up the entire floor, was spectacular and very worth seeing. (Original) 想像以上に面白い博物館でした。 中は大きく二つのエリアに分かれており、片方はよくある博物館で、もう片方では常州市政府の政策の宣伝をしていました。 博物館には、外国人はパスポートを見せるだけで入場できました。 私が行った時には、特別展示で恐竜展を開催していた他、常設展示で常州にかかわる歴史や動植物など多様な分野の展示が行われていました。 常州市政府の宣伝エリアは特に何をすることもなく立ち入ることが出来ました。 こちらも思ったより見ごたえがあり、常州がどういった街なのか、常州市政府がこれから何を造ろうとしているのか、将来常州をどうしようとしているのか展示されていました。 こちらのエリアの目玉は最上階にある常州市のミニチュアです。 1フロア全面を使ったミニチュアは壮観で、非常に見ごたえがありました。

Stadium
The swimming pool for adults is excellent, it incorporates 10 standard lanes of 50 meters long. The bottom of the pool is inclined, the deepest end is around 1.6m while the shallowest is 1.4m. The water is quite clean. In the bathroom, some sprayers don't work well. The locker room has 500-600 lockers all of which have proximity sensors. The price is 20 CNY for each person regardless of the age on weekdays, and 25 on weekends. You are allowed to swim a whole day with one ticket. By the way, it's not crowded at all, rarely would you swim into each other.

Tianning Temple (天寧寺) is an important building in Jiangsu Province. It attracts visitor for the majestic structure and long history building: 1. The structure feature: this 13-storey octagon shaped temple is 153.7 meter height, which is the highest pagoda in China and in the world. There is an elevator for visitor to the top floor. You have to prepare the money. 2. The history feature: There are about 500 Arhat (羅漢) statues embedded in the both sides of the wall. The artistic level is very high and rare, which is seen as the treasure of the temple. I recommend visitor can go to the Hongmei Park (紅梅公園) after temple trip. You can stroll in this beautiful park and discover different view for the Tianning Temple.
朱伯駿 — Google review
Tianning Temple in Shanghai is a truly sacred and peaceful place filled with positive energy. The moment you step inside, you can feel a deep sense of calm and spiritual connection. The temple’s architecture and chanting create a serene atmosphere for prayer and reflection. It’s a wonderful place to offer incense, meditate, and experience the compassion and blessings of the Buddhas. A meaningful destination for anyone seeking peace of mind and spiritual growth.
