[2025 Wuxi Attraction] Travel Guide for Huishansi (Updated Jun)

It turns out that we have our own seagull gathering place within the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions. Wuxi in December is so beautiful that you can't believe it. You can take a boat trip to Yuantouzhu to watch the seagulls, and enjoy the autumn scenery in Huishan Ancient Town, where the maple leaves and ginkgo trees decorate the ancient town in colorful colors. Playing for a day costs less than 300 per person~ Wuxi One-Day Tour Route Hangzhou - Huishan Ancient Town - Yuantouzhu - Return 1First stop: Visit Huishan Ancient Town and enjoy the autumn historical and cultural district There are many gingko trees in bloom in the ancestral halls in the ancient town. The two trees in front of the Gu Kejiu Temple and the Zhang Zhongcheng Temple are particularly photo-worthy. Against the backdrop of the ancient streets and alleys, the golden ginkgo leaves covering the ground are particularly eye-catching. ■At the entrance of the scenic area, there are also commemorative handicraft experiences such as limited edition autumn leaves and Wuxi check-in stamps. Cultural Heritage Area (70) ■The most popular 600-year-old ginkgo tree is inside Huishan Temple. It is easier to take photos if you go there in the morning when there are fewer people. ■ In addition to ginkgo trees, red maples are another must-see in autumn at Huishan Ancient Town. Jichang Garden, one of the four famous gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, not only allows you to experience the beauty and elegance of classical Jiangnan gardens, but the red maple trees beside the Qixing Bridge are also quite charming. 2 Second stop: Yuantouzhu ferry cruise to watch the sunset and feed seagulls Navigate to the ticket office at the Chongshan Gate. After entering the gate and walking for about ten minutes, you will see a Metasequoia forest. The Metasequoia turns red in autumn. You can take photos and then take a bus at the scenic area bus stop. The fare is 5 per person for a round trip, which saves time. Those who don't want to walk can take the yellow sightseeing bus, which has 20 people per trip. S You can be sent directly from the entrance of the scenic area to the cruise ship terminal. Photography Tips To watch the sunset, it is recommended to take a boat after 15:30 in the afternoon. We took the Taihu Heart Seagull Watching Special Line which departs at 16:00 every weekend and a trip takes about an hour. We watched the sunset directly on the boat without getting off the boat to go to the island and returned directly. Gull Watching Special Line Ticket Price: 128 people Prepare some steamed buns in advance to feed the seagulls, and they will circle around you. There are more seagulls flying around the stern of the ship, and it is easier to take photos. Time to watch seagulls: November to February of the following year

This ancient temple offers visitors a serene and spiritual atmosphere, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural and religious heritage of the region. Personal Opinion: In my opinion, Huishan Temple is a profound and tranquil destination for those interested in exploring the historical and spiritual aspects of Buddhism. The temple's ancient origins and serene environment make it a meaningful and enriching experience for visitors.

Stepping into Huishan Ancient Town in Wuxi is like stepping into that era. The white walls and black tiles are arranged in an orderly manner, with stone roads winding through them, and each stone slab is engraved with the traces of time. The street is lined with shops, and the aroma of traditional snacks is everywhere, including Huishan oil pastry, osmanthus cake, youzanzi and Wuxi xiaolongbao, which are full of Jiangnan flavor. Jichang Garden is hidden in a corner of the ancient town, with rockery and ponds complementing each other, and winding corridors, fully displaying the exquisiteness of Jiangnan gardens. As we move along the river, the boats slowly pass by, creating ripples that form a vivid picture with the weeping willows on the shore. The Second Largest Spring in the World and Huishan Temple are also within the park. Huishan Ancient Town is a must-see attraction. The park area is very large and the surrounding attractions are all connected together. You can eat, drink and have fun here all day long.

Huishan Ancient Town is centered around Huishan Ancient Temple, and connects Erquan Jichang Garden, Huishan Town, Huishan Zhi Street, Heng Street, and Huishan Clay Figurine Museum. The overall planning and development of the area is rich in historical and cultural significance. The proposed development area extends from the Second Spring Under Heaven in the west to Huangbudun in the east, from the north side of Longguang Pagoda in the south to Tonghui West Road in the north, covering an area of about 70 hectares. The main line of the development will be the northern section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Wuxi, extending the famous scenic spots of Jichang Garden, Erquan, and Huishan Temple in Xihui Scenic Area. The core development will focus on the temple culture buildings composed of Huishan Heng Street, Zhi Street, and Sitangjing North and South Rivers, creating an ancient town garden cultural tourism street area with beautiful scenery, rich attractions, deep cultural heritage, and strong Jiangnan style. The main body of Huishan Cultural Relics Area is located in the current Xihui Scenic Area, covering an area of about 70,000 square meters. The southern part of Jichang Garden and the restoration of Shaobao Academy and other temples have been completed. After the protection and restoration of Huishan Temple, Huaxiaozi Temple, and Erquan Scenic Area are completed before 2004, the entire Huishan Cultural Relics Area will be declared a national key cultural relic protection unit, centered around Jichang Garden. The main body of Huishan Ancient Town Style Area is located in Huishan Heng Street, Zhi Street, and Huishan Bang area east of Baoshan Bridge, covering an area of about 150,000 square meters. Through the reintegration of various buildings and environmental management in the area, the traditional style of the original Huishan Ancient Town will be restored, centered around Huishan Ancient Temple Group. Two traditional ancient streets, two alleys, and Huishan Bang water tourism channel will be formed along the banks of Huishan Bang, creating a Huishan Ancient Style Area extending from the east side of Jichang Garden to Huangbudun.

Last weekend, I went to Huishan Ancient Town in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province with my friends. We went to Huishan Temple in the afternoon, and it was really worth the trip. 📍Detailed address: Huishan Temple is located in the center of Huishan Ancient Town. You don't need a ticket to enter Huishan Ancient Town, but Huishan Temple, the Second Spring under Heaven, and Jichang Garden are all located in Xihui Park, which requires a ticket. 🌟Highlights: Since you need to buy a separate ticket, there are relatively fewer people inside. Since we arrived late, there were even fewer people. After entering the park, you can see many flowers, and you can walk straight to the Second Spring under Heaven. Walk through it and you can enter Huishan Temple. The mountain gate of Huishan Temple is inscribed with the words "Getting better and better, the better it gets, the more it comes." It makes you feel relaxed. Walking inside, the ancient temple is backed by Huishan Mountain, and there are many cats strolling leisurely in the temple, which makes you feel very comfortable. Going further up is the back mountain behind the temple. The actual distance is not long, and the view from the top is different. 🚉Transportation: It is very convenient to come here. Just take a taxi to Huishan Ancient Town, which costs more than 10 yuan from the city center. 📝Tips: There are many snack bars with Wuxi specialties in the scenic area. If you have time, you can try them. The prices are moderate. If you want to have a formal meal, you can go to the city after visiting.

Huishan Temple, also known as 'Huishan Temple,' is located in the Huishan Ancient Town Scenic Area (No. 1 Huishan Straight Street) in Liangxi District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province. Initially called 'Lishan Thatched Cottage,' it was first built during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In the first year of Jingping in the Southern Song Dynasty (423 AD), it was converted into a Buddhist site and renamed 'Huashan Jing She.' In the third year of Datong in the Liang Dynasty (537 AD), 'Huashan Jing She' was newly constructed with the 'Datong Hall' and renamed 'Fayun Zen Temple.' During the Dazhong to Xiantong periods of the Tang Dynasty (847-874 AD), it was renamed 'Huishan Temple.' Huishan Temple is backed by Huishan Mountain and has an overall east-west layout, divided into central and northern routes. The central route mainly includes buildings such as the Hall of Heavenly Kings, Jinlian Bridge, Imperial Stele Pavilion, Datong Gate, and the Mahavira Hall. The northern route mainly includes buildings such as the Arhat Hall, Great Compassion Pavilion, Sutra Library, Dizang Hall, Wuguan Hall, and the Huishan Temple Library. Among them, the two Huishan Temple Sutra Pillars in front of the mountain gate were built in the third year of Qianfu in the Tang Dynasty (876 AD) and the third year of Xining in the Song Dynasty (1070 AD). Both are made of bluestone with a stacked structure, each having 19 layers. The Tang and Song pillars stand side by side, with tall bodies, magnificent shapes, exquisite carvings, and well-preserved conditions. They are well-preserved and ancient Buddhist stone carving art treasures in the Wuxi area. In 2013, the Huishan Temple Sutra Pillars were listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit.

This year, I've seen countless ginkgo trees, but the one at Wuxi's Huishan Temple is the most stunning. The Hongwu ancient ginkgo tree in front of Huishan Temple is undoubtedly the top attraction in Wuxi's autumn. These days, this 670-year-old ginkgo tree has finally reached its 'peak of beauty'. The Hongwu ginkgo tree is not only lush and majestic, but also appears sacred and solemn amidst the morning and evening bells and the smoke of incense. It is said that this ginkgo tree was planted by Monk Xinghai of Huishan Temple in the early years of the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty. Admiring the yellow walls and black tiles complemented by the bright yellow leaves, you can feel the Zen scenery of the ancient temple and the ancient tree at any time!

Located in the Xihui Scenic Area, Huishan Temple is one of the 400-year-old temples of the Southern Dynasties. It was built in 423 AD and has been the first of the ten jungles in the Xixi River since its 1580 years ago. For more than a thousand years, Huishan Temple was devastated six times and was finally destroyed during the war years of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. So far, a large number of cultural relics have been preserved in the temple. There are Longyan Spring in the Datong Period of the Sui Dynasty, Shijing Building in the Tang and Song Dynasties, Songshi Bed in the Tang Dynasty, Jinlian Bridge in the Song Dynasty, Yin Hongwu Ginkgo and Qing Imperial Monument. There is also an ancient ginkgo tree in the Huishan Temple, which is more than 600 years old. It is the oldest birthday tree in the city of Wuxi. Every autumn, the ginkgo fluttering in the sky attracts countless tourists. Autumn is the most beautiful season of ginkgo trees. The leaves were initially yellow with yellow and then turned yellow-green. In the late autumn, the trees became golden yellow. The yellow leaves shine brightly under the sunlight. A gust of wind blew, and the light jumped between the leaves, as if the elf was playing happily. In addition to the ancient ginkgo at the entrance of Huishan Temple for more than 600 years, there is a 400-year-old ginkgo in Huishan Temple. Compared with the 600-year old state, it seems to be a lot stronger in the past 400 years, but both I can really feel the tempering of the years in the spring and autumn, the calmness of life after the stormy waves, the splendid frost, and the maturity of their lives.

Huishan Temple is located in a place of scenic interest, and its reputation has already filled the world with the reputation of the second spring in the world. It is said that during the Tang and Song Dynasties, the incense was endless. The scope of the temple actually includes the entire Yugong Valley and the Sending Park, and there are as many as one thousand and forty-eight. Located at Huishan Xiuyi Street (now Huishan Zhijie and Hengjie intersection), it was built in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and has been around for more than 1,500 years. Its predecessor was the "Lishan Caotang" founded by the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Song, Situ Long Shi Zhan Ting. Walk along the small door next to the Daxiong Hall of Huishan Temple. There is an upright corridor that can be overlooked. When the weather is good, the landscape should be better. Going down again is the second spring in the world.
