Wuxi Travel Guide

Wuxi, a pearl by the Taihu Lake, has been dubbed the "little Shanghai". Located in the Lower Yangtze Delta, is famous for the many private gardens or parks built by learned scholars and rich people in the past.

Wuxi (Chinese: 无锡; pinyin: Wúxī), in the central Yangtze River Delta on the southeast coast of China, is a city of affluence and intoxicating landscape in southern Jiangsu Province. As one of the oldest cities in China, Wuxi has a history of more than 3,000 years. The rich culture of Wuxi had cultivated many intelligent people in Chinese history. Set in the heart of the fertile Yangtzi River Delta, Wuxi has developed new industries including silk production, pottery and bricks. Now the city is attracting more and more visitors.

The city was built on the Taihu lake. Naturally the lake is a rich tourism resource. Famous spots include Yuantou Zhu (the Islet of Turtlehead), Taihu Xiandao (Islands of the Deities). Among them, Li Yuan, Mei Yuan are good examples that have been well preserved. Xihui Gongyuan (Xihui Park), located at the foot of Xi Shan also houses historical relics, notably Jichang Garden.

Xi Shan, Huishan: Literally means "Mountain of Tin" and "Mountain of Kindheartedness". They are two small hills located at the western part of the city.

The Grand Canal: It passes the city. There are two canals: one is the old canal that has been there ever since it was excavated, the other is the new canal created after 1949.
