Wuxi City

A Jiangnan city on the north shore of Lake Tai, where Turtle Head Isle cherry blossoms, the Lingshan Grand Buddha and Huishan Ancient Town paint a water-town picture.

Wuxi lies in southern Jiangsu on the north shore of Lake Tai and is a classic Jiangnan water town. Turtle Head Isle offers distant views across Lake Tai and is covered in cherry blossoms in spring; the Lingshan Grand Buddha and the Zen-themed Nianhua Bay town are popular attractions. Huishan Ancient Town, Nanchang Street and the Qingming Bridge historic district stretch along the ancient canal, while Li Garden and Jichang Garden showcase garden artistry. Local specialties such as Wuxi spare ribs and soup dumplings have a distinct regional flavor. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit. The gateway is Sunan Shuofang International Airport, and both the Beijing–Shanghai high-speed railway and the Shanghai–Nanjing intercity line pass through Wuxi.
