In the Ming Dynasty, Cao Xi praised Sanshan Island as 'Little Penglai' in his 'Record of Sanshan Temple's Manor'. ★In 1985, the national archaeological team excavated a large number of old stone tools and mammal fossils from the Qingfeng Ridge of Sanshan Island, pushing the history of Taihu Lake civilization back to the Old Stone Age more than ten thousand years ago. The local saying 'Sanshan Island came first, then Gusu City' was also confirmed. 2 Transportation Dongshan Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou City Navigate to Changxin Wharf Cars cannot go to the island, you can park your car in the nearby parking lot (there are many parking spaces).
