Wuxi Trip Review: Not Recommended for March

Wuxi Trip Review: Not Recommended for March! Travel with Music “Taihu Lake, oh Taihu Lake, your beauty lies in your water. White sails glide on your surface, red water caltrops grow beneath, green reeds sway by your shores, and fish and shrimp thrive in your depths…” As the melodious tune of “Beauty of Taihu Lake” played, Wuxi, a city of rivers and canals south of the Yangtze River, planted a seed of longing in my heart with its poetic charm. In March, as spring returned, I finally set foot on this land. Now, I'm sharing this amazing travel guide with you. Pre-trip Preparations: Check the weather forecast and pack a light jacket for temperature differences between morning and evening. Wear comfortable sneakers for walking and sightseeing. If you plan to visit paid attractions, book tickets in advance on the official website or travel app to save time queuing. Itinerary: Day 1 Morning: After arriving in Wuxi, head to Yuantouzhu. In March, the cherry blossoms in Yuantouzhu gradually bloom, resembling clouds and mist. Stroll through the Cherry Blossom Valley, immerse yourself in the sea of flowers, and experience the beauty of falling petals. Afternoon: From Yuantouzhu, go to Lihu Park. Take a walk along the lake, admire the scenery, and enjoy sunbathing or a picnic on the park's lawn. Evening: Visit Nanchang Street, where the lights reflect on the ancient canal, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Stroll along the old street and experience the charm of a Jiangnan water town. Day 2 Morning: Visit Huishan Ancient Town. The ancient ancestral halls are scattered in an orderly manner, offering insights into Wuxi's history and culture. There are also many handicraft shops along the street where you can find unique souvenirs. Afternoon: Go to Xihui Park, a place of scenic beauty with mountains and water. Hike up the mountain for a panoramic view of Wuxi or take a leisurely stroll along the Yingshan Lake. Nearby Attractions: Lingshan Grand Buddha: The magnificent and solemn Lingshan Grand Buddha stands tall, immersing you in a rich Buddhist cultural atmosphere. Nianhua Bay: This town, with its Tang and Song Dynasty charm, transforms into a fairyland-like scene at night, filled with a sense of Zen. Local Food Recommendations: Wuxi Xiaolongbao: Thin-skinned and juicy, with a sweet and savory meat filling, each bite bursts with flavor. Braised Pork Ribs: With a reddish-brown glaze, the ribs are tender and flavorful, offering a perfect balance of sweet and salty.
