Three Visitors Cave and Park
Â¥48
On a peninsula outside the city
The Cave contains some poetry engraved in stone, not very big though but has a nice little story to it. The surrounding park has a view of the Yangze River as well as some old military defense walls, Sino-Japanese war memorial stones, river viewing pavillion and some ancient city remains. The walk around the park has lots of steps and is pretty decent, good relaxing spot.
