The Suzhou Taihu Orange Sea primarily refers to the romantic, orange-red sunset views resembling oranges, visible from areas like Xishan Island in Taihu Lake. Here's an introduction: Viewing Locations - Moon Bay Ancient Wharf: Located on Xishan Island in Suzhou's Taihu Lake, this 58-meter-long, thousand-year-old wharf extends diagonally into the lake, offering unobstructed, panoramic views. It's a popular spot for sunset photos. - Jingshan Sunset Viewing Area: Free admission. Here, you can not only witness the beautiful orange sea sunset but also enjoy the lighthouse and flower fields, with the scenery reflected on the lake's surface, creating a romantic, Japanese-inspired atmosphere. - Lüpu Port Bridge: The surrounding scenery is beautiful. If driving, you can park by the roadside and walk down to the lakeshore to enjoy the gentle, romantic orange sea sunset. - North Taihu Niche Viewing Spot: Featuring shallows and grasslands, this spot usually has fewer tourists except for anglers, making it suitable for camping and capturing stunning orange sea views.
