Bacheng town in Kunshan is one of the best places to jog in Jiangsu province thanks to its pristine environment and beautiful countryside. Here are four recommended jogging routes to soak up Bacheng’s autumn scenery.

An eye-catching red track winds across reed marshes, pavilions, terraces and open-air squares in Bacheng Ecological Wetland Park.

Bacheng Ecological Wetland Park

Follow the park’s eye-catching red track as it winds across reed marshes, pavilions, terraces and open-air squares. The track, made of imitated plastic materials, will give you a varied workout too as it includes hills, curves, straight dashes and stairs. The track is about 2.2 kilometers long overall.

Bajie Garden

Dedicated to Ba Jie, a character from folklore often said to be the first person to taste crab meat, the garden’s lakeside track is lined with a variety of crab-themed sculptures.

The lovely coreopsis and galsang flowers decorating the garden and the park’s gentle autumn breezes make this a lovely place for a run. The total length of the track is about 5.5 km.

Bacheng Lake Park

While Bajie Park provides a longer route and more facilities, Bacheng Lake Park’s wide lawns and tree-dotted landscape offers a more pleasant place to go for a walk or a jog. The track is around 1.2 km long in total.

Xilu Park

Opening onto the most beautiful part of Yangcheng Lake, Xilu Park is not only famous for its multiple water systems, but also its marvelous sunset lakeside views. Just imagine jogging around the park’s 1.8km track in the twilight while looking out over the whole lake – what a feeling!
