Taihu Bridge
太湖大桥
A chain of three bridges linking Yuyang Mountain in Suzhou with Xishan Island. Stretching about 4.3 kilometers, it is a classic scenic drive or ride across Lake Tai.
The Taihu Bridge connects Yuyang Mountain in Wuzhong District with Jinting Town (Xishan Island). Three bridges link Changsha Island and Yexiang Island, forming a span of about 4.3 kilometers. It opened in 1994 and is the main route to Xishan and Dongshan. From the bridge, you can look out over the blue waters of Lake Tai and the islands in the lake, and the views are superb whether you are driving or cycling. On the Yuyang Mountain side, there are viewpoints for photographing the full length of the bridge. Passage is free. Stopping on the bridge is prohibited, so take photos from the viewpoints at either end.
