Wuxi is an important birthplace of Jiangnan civilization and Wu culture. Many ancient rivers have been filled and turned into city roads, and the ancient city sites have been covered by modern business centers. The unique ancient city that looks like a turtle's back has not been preserved. Perhaps Wuxi will feel a little regretful. Fortunately, there is still Huishan Ancient Town, where you can get a glimpse of the elegance of the past. Lu Yu, the sage of tea, visited famous mountains and explored mountain springs. He believed that Huishan Shiquan was the second in the world. Since then, Huishan Quan has been named "the second spring in the world". The famous erhu song "Erquan Yingyue" by Hua Yanjun, a modern Wuxi local folk musician, also originated from this. In the 100 years of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi and Qianlong emperors visited Huishan seven times. Emperor Qianlong visited Jichang Garden eight times and wrote the calligraphy gallery. Among the famous places in Jiangnan, Huishan Qinyuan is the oldest. In order to send lovesickness, Jichang Garden was imitated in the Summer Palace and Xiequ Garden was built. The ancient ancestral hall community of Huishan, which originated in the Tang Dynasty and has strong regional characteristics of Wuzhong, is quite imposing. Qian Wusu, the king of the Spring and Autumn Period, Chunshenjun of the Warring States Period, Zhang Xun, a famous general who can sing and cry in the Battle of Suiyang in the Tang Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, and Hai Rui of the Ming Dynasty, now have 118 ancient and elegant or magnificent ancestral hall buildings. From the political arena to the literati, it is a great view. Wuxi's profound cultural heritage is now more agitated in the names. In modern times, the four major families of Wuxi, Yang Rong and Xue Tang, merchants and scholars, gathered here.

Huishan National Forest Park, Wuxi. A sudden planned travel with some not so good experience. I climed up the mountain `Mount Hui` which is about 328 meter high with many stiff and uncanny steps and road. I had a jaw dropping expectation to explore something at the peak but I was extremely despaired. Other than 2/3 small shops with some fruits and light snacks and the surrounding view there was nothing else to talk about! Even there was no proper sanitary facility for the public. On the way to the peak I found two small temples with as usual features. Overall, this place can be recommended for hiking only. #ancienttomb#historicculture

I always thought that Suzhou's gentle and elegant beauty was the ceiling of Jiangnan scenery, until I stepped into Wuxi, and I realized that there was such a charming water town scenery. Wuxi has become famous for its Spring Festival Gala, and its unique Jiangnan water charm is really unforgettable. We went to Wuxi this time to chase seagulls and stroll through the ancient town. We were amazed by the city chosen by CCTV. Wuxi is so beautiful that it is against the rules! Below is a super-awesome 1-2 day Wuxi travel guide. 📍 Itinerary Huishan Ancient Town→Yuyantang→Night Tour of Nanchang Street 👉 If you have enough time, it is highly recommended to reserve a whole day to visit Huishan Ancient Town.

There are also four Jiangsu Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Units, including Erquan Academy, and 13 Wuxi Municipal Cultural Relics Protection Units, including Longguang Pagoda. The profound historical and cultural heritage is enough for you to spend a whole day here. 🔻 Jichang Garden As one of the four famous gardens in Jiangnan, Jichang Garden's beauty is breathtaking. The garden cleverly uses the borrowed scenery technique to incorporate the Longguang Pagoda into the scenery, as if the entire mountain is included in the picture frame. Walking under the corridor, the light and shadow are mottled, and every step is a scene, exuding a unique charm. 🔻 Yuyantang In February, Yuyantang is still home to Siberian red-mouthed gulls. Watching flocks of gulls chasing after the cruise ship and flying around, every shot is a movie-like picture. Spring is approaching, and I can't imagine how beautiful Yuyantang will be when the cherry blossoms bloom in March. ✅ The seagull watching season lasts until the end of February. If you want to have a wonderful experience, remember to take the ferry at sunset and choose a ferry that departs about 20 minutes before sunset. The scenery is absolutely stunning. ✅ Tickets for the cherry blossom season must be purchased online in advance, and it is best to avoid the peak hours of the weekend to fully enjoy the scenery. ✅ Learn about the best cherry blossom viewing spots in March in advance: you can overlook the sea of flowers from the top floor of Yuyantang, and Cherry Blossom Valley and Cherry Blossom Avenue are also good places to take photos. 🔻 Nanchang Street As a sub-venue of the Spring Festival Gala, Nanchang Street's light show and the Grand Canal complement each other, creating a strong festive atmosphere. It is recommended to visit in the early evening, stroll through the waterside light and shadow, and experience the wonderful experience of "ancient and modern in the same frame". 📝 Travel essentials ✅ During the trip, you will walk a lot. It is recommended to wear a pair of comfortable and easy-to-walk sports shoes to make your trip easier. ✅ In places full of ancient charm like Yuyantang and ancient town streets, wearing Hanfu to take photos will be more photogenic and easily take photos of ancient style. ✅ I wore NULLFIT merino underwear during this trip. It is comfortable to wear, no binding, no pressure, and it won't feel cold even if you sweat. It dries quickly, and even if you don't change it, it will still be dry and odorless after 2-3 days, which is very suitable for travel.
