There are many ancestral halls to visit in Huishan Ancient Town. Xihui Park is very large and takes a long time to explore fully. Liyuan Garden: Compared to Suzhou gardens, it is more like a park.

The pineapple buns near the entrance are delicious, and I highly recommend the lotus root starch with red bean boba from Ouyun. Nanchan Temple: The Miaoguang Pagoda was under maintenance when I visited. 💥Important notes: Leave early to avoid queues.

It is a famous classical garden in Jiangnan. . ⭐Itinerary Jichang Garden, a national key cultural relic protection unit, is located in the cultural relic area of Huishan Ancient Town Scenic Area, on the east side of Huishan Mountain, next to Huishan Temple. After eating and shopping in Huishan Ancient Town, head to the depths of the ancient town. Be sure to check out Jichang Garden and the surrounding Huishan relics. A large wintersweet tree near the side gate of the Erquan Academy is about to bloom, so it's the perfect time to admire the flowers. 🔥Highlights of Jichang Garden 1⃣️The garden is centered around a mountain pool, and mainly consists of 28 scenic spots and 244 stone inscriptions, including the gate hall, calligraphy corridor, Bingli Hall, courtyard, stele wall, and Hanzhen Studio. 2⃣️The garden makes use of the surrounding scenery, incorporating the Longguang Pagoda on Xishan Mountain, Huishan Mountain, and other natural landscapes into the garden, blending them with the garden's scenery.

Based on the shape of this Taihu stone, it could be renamed "Golden Snake Welcomes Spring" this year. 5⃣️Bayin Stream This is my favorite part of the garden, full of wonder and fun. The Bayin Stream is 36 meters long, 2 meters deep, and 0.6 to 4.5 meters wide, and is made entirely of yellow stone. The stream is fed by the Huishan Spring, and the sound of the water is as pleasant as music.

Beautiful ginkgo leaves, my true love In the streets and alleys, ginkgo leaves are kissed by the autumn god and gradually turn golden. When the breeze blows, they dance like golden butterflies and fall leisurely. Walking on the layers of ginkgo leaves, the rustling sound is the whisper of autumn. Sunlight penetrates the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows. The veins of the ginkgo leaves are clear, like a work of art carefully carved by time. Its beauty is not ostentatious, but it strikes the heart. In this complicated world, ginkgo leaves bring peace and warmth. I am intoxicated by it, it is my true love that never fades, carrying my love for autumn.

Jichang Garden was originally built during the Ming Dynasty, with Mount Hui as its backdrop. It is an exquisite work among the gardens of literati in the south of the Yangtze River, and is known as one of the four great gardens along with the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Lingering Garden, and the Zhan Garden. After Emperor Qianlong's southern tour, he was so enchanted that he later replicated Jichang Garden in the predecessor of the Summer Palace, the Qingyi Garden, creating the Garden of Harmonious Interests. This shows the extraordinary charm of Jichang Garden. 📍Location: No. 18 Baoshan Street, Liangxi District, Wuxi City, inside Hui Shan Ancient Town 🎫Ticket: 70 RMB/person ⌚Opening hours: 08:00—16:30, no entry after 16:00 🚗Transportation 🚙Self-driving: Parking available at the scenic area parking lot, 15 RMB/time on weekdays, 30 RMB/time on holidays.

The water originates from Mount Hui, flows through Bayin Stream, and gathers in the pool. With Hebu Beach, Qixing Bridge, and gallery bridges dividing the water surface layer by layer, it is impossible to find the end of the water, integrating springs, waterfalls, streams, pools, gullies, and beaches all in one garden. 2️⃣Bayin Stream: Bayin Stream is a rockery on the west side of the garden, winding and secluded, with the sound of water flowing along the path in the middle of the rockery reflecting off different rock walls, creating diverse sounds like a melody. Above, there is lush tree shade, and below, there is the constant sound of mountain springs. The not-so-high rockery creates the impression of a canyon, reminiscent of the lingering veins of Mount Hui. 3️⃣Architecture: To the east of Jinhuiyi, there are structures such as Zhiyu Kan, Yupan, Hanbi Pavilion, and Xianyue Pavilion. They are small and appropriately sized, separated by water and facing the mountains, cleverly arranging the scenic spots and viewing points.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Humble Administrator's Garden is the foremost among the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. The garden offers a view at every step, which is admirable. Cameras, however, find it difficult to capture its exquisite essence. Compared to the exquisite elegance of the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Lingering Garden has a more graceful and approachable style. The garden takes a cultural approach, with different programs performed at various times. Located in Huishan Ancient Town of Wuxi, the Jichang Garden is most famous for its Jin Hui Yi Group Landscape. The garden's pond creates a scene with the distant half-tower, offering clear layers and a profound meaning. It is recommended to spend about two hours visiting the above three gardens. If you have time, sitting and chatting in the gardens is also a wonderful experience!

There is a very niche garden at the foot of Huishan in Wuxi, Jichang Garden, It is said that Kangxi and Qianlong visited it 14 times during the hundred years, However, the beauty of Jichang Garden is not only in the beauty of the garden, Every deep autumn season, the scenery of red maple and ginkgo here, It is also beautiful and stunning. Especially the more than 400-year-old trees that existed at the beginning of the garden, Every autumn, the garden is full of strong autumn feelings, which makes people linger. - ✅Zhiyu Jie Located in the center of Jinhui Yi, protruding from the pool, surrounded by water on three sides, the square pavilion is winged. Not only is it the finishing touch of Jichang Garden, but the ancient trees and famous trees on the edge of the threshold are also the focus of the entire garden in autumn. - ✅Xianyue Pavilion A waterside pavilion on the south side of Jichang Garden, with two red leaf viewing trees, one is the chicken claw maple on the east side of the waterside pavilion, and the other is the 110-year-old Castanopsis tree on the rockery on the west side of the waterside pavilion. - ✅Jiashu Hall On the north side of Jichang Garden, it is a typical Ming Dynasty hard mountain-style architectural style. Here you can see a wide view and enjoy the autumn colors of the whole garden.

The Huishan Ancient Town scenic area is formed by the merger of the original Xi Hui Park (Xi Hui Scenic Area) and Huishan Historical and Cultural Block. Not only are there many cultural relics and beautiful landscapes, but there are also a lot of authentic Wuxi delicacies, and the key is that the cost performance is super high. Suitable for families of all ages to visit. Don't miss Jichang Garden when you come to Huishan Ancient Town, it's really my favorite‼️ Jichang Garden is an ancient garden of the Ming Dynasty, initially built during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, and is as famous as Suzhou's Humble Administrator's Garden, Lingering Garden and Nanjing's Zhan Garden, known as the "Four Great Gardens of Jiangnan". As a representative of Huishan garden culture, it is exquisite with its 'borrowed scenery, stacked stones, winding water, ancient trees, and natural layout'. The pink walls and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water, and the simplicity and tranquility are also natural in the Jiangnan landscape. Jichang Garden has five characteristics: exquisite water management, clever borrowed scenery, superb stacked stones, refined architecture, and exquisite stele corridor calligraphy. Jichang Garden is really my favorite Jiangnan garden, all year round, never tired of visiting. Now the potted autumn chrysanthemums in front of Jichang Garden have bloomed, rare varieties of chrysanthemums, lined up in pieces, colorful flowers either stand still or sway, can't help but want to stop and take pictures. Autumn is here, the Autumn Huishan Chrysanthemum Festival as a traditional flower festival event in Huishan Ancient Town, has been successfully held for many years, and is a festival event that is well-known and deeply loved by tourists in Wuxi and even the Yangtze River Delta in autumn. The 14th China Chrysanthemum Exhibition will be held in the Huishan Ancient Town Scenic Area in Wuxi. By the end of October, the National Chrysanthemum Exhibition, Huishan Ancient Town will have a charming scene of fragrant autumn and various forms! In addition, Huishan Ancient Town also has the second spring in the world, Huishan Temple and many well-preserved ancient ancestral halls, and 108 ancient ancestral halls can't be visited in one day. For those who haven't decided where to go for the National Day, why not go to Huishan Ancient Town~

💛 I love the autumn in Wuxi because there is an ancient town called Huishan. Those who are fascinated by ancient towns are usually fascinated by the past. The charm of Huishan Ancient Town is that it has a time machine that takes us back to the old times in an instant. 📍Scenic spot address: No. 18 Baoshan Street, Liangxi District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province Recommended tour route👇 Morning: Enter from the entrance of Qinyuan Street, you can visit the cultural relics and historic sites area: Huishan Gate——Jichang Garden——Huishan Temple——Yubei Pavilion——Ancient Ginkgo——Tingsong Stone Bed——The Second Spring in the World——Chuihong Corridor——Chunshen Gate Afternoon: You can visit the historical and cultural block of Huishan Ancient Town: Xishen Square——Huishan Ancient Town Dazhaobi——Xu Ruzi Temple——Zhang Zhongcheng Temple——Fan Wenzhenggong Temple——Gu Kejiu Temple——Yang Oufang Temple——Xiuzhu Pavilion——This is Wuxi Guochao Street 🦌As I arrived in the ancient town, chrysanthemums from 34 cities also arrived in the ancient town one after another, each showing their own style. Huishan Ancient Town has a chrysanthemum exhibition every year, which has a history of 17 years. This year, the 14th China Chrysanthemum Exhibition will be held in Wuxi Huishan Ancient Town Scenic Area, which is the most influential event in the Chinese chrysanthemum industry. 🌿What's different this year is that for the first time, the chrysanthemum exhibition will feature 'night viewing of chrysanthemums', introducing Zigong Lantern Show, creating a series of auspicious beasts themed on Shanhai Jing. When tourists visit the garden, there are surprises everywhere. There will also be a series of flower-related activities, such as chrysanthemum art flower arrangement, research and study fighting chrysanthemums, chrysanthemum handmade DIY activities. What I look forward to more is tasting chrysanthemum tea, chrysanthemum wine, chrysanthemum pastries and other delicacies. I look forward to experiencing activities such as tea ceremony, matcha, Song-style tea, Zen tea, etc. by professional chrysanthemum tea artists. There are also performances and light shows during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. It's really appropriate to come to Huishan Ancient Town at this time.

🍁Travel date: 2023.12.19 The favorite spot in Wuxi is undoubtedly Jichang Garden. I visited once in spring and once in early winter, each time presenting different beauty. Wuxi Huishan Ancient Town is free, but there is a large area of ancient gardens inside that charges fees. Last time I came, it was called Xihui Scenic Area, but this time it has become Huishan Ancient Town·Jichang Garden. It's not quite accurate to just call it Jichang Garden, because the area included in the ticket is quite large. 🍁Jichang Garden The only Ming Dynasty ancient garden in Wuxi, with a history of more than 500 years. Compared with Suzhou or Yangzhou gardens, Jichang Garden has an additional touch of simplicity and elegance. The temperature inside the garden seems to be higher than outside, except for some white snow still remaining on the eaves, the moist green plants are still lush. The big red maple tree in the corner is being beautiful on its own, and there is even a tree by the lake that has just turned from green to red. The reflection of the ancient tower, pavilion, and green mountains in the lake is very beautiful. 🍁The Second Best Spring in the World It is also a relic of Xihui, there is a tea room halfway up the mountain, where you can taste the tea made with water from the second best spring in the world. 🍁Erquan Academy and Huishan Temple buildings are very beautiful, and there was a winter solstice ceremony that day, with fireworks swirling around. 🍁Huishan Ancient Town·Jichang Garden Address: 18 Baoshan Street, Liangxi District, Wuxi City Opening hours: 8:00-16:30 (Monday-Friday)/8:00-17:00 (Saturday, Sunday) Ticket: 70 yuan (65 yuan if booked one day in advance)
