[2025 Wuxi Attraction] Travel Guide for Nanchan Temple (Updated Mar)

Wuxi is indeed a treasure city that is seriously underestimated. Unlike Nanjing and Suzhou, which are crowded with people, the gentle charm of the Jiangnan water town is perfect for a leisurely stroll on the weekend. 【About Big Traffic】 1. Friday night: Beijing Station 20:03 - Wuxi Station 09:33 (T109) 2. Sunday afternoon: Wuxi East Station 17:52 - Beijing South Station 22:49 (G154) Two-day tour arrangements: DAY1: Beijing Station - Wuxi Station - Huishan Ancient Town - Jichang Garden - Nanquan Old Street - Nanchan Temple DAY2: Nanchang Street - Dangkou Ancient Town - Wuxi East Railway Station - Beijing Attractions: Nanquan Old Street Tickets: Free Nanquan Old Street is one of the few undeveloped, ultra-small and lively old streets in Wuxi. The flowing water under small bridges, stone-paved streets, towering ancient trees and mottled brick walls all record the long history of Nanquan Old Street. The residents of the old street live along the river and still retain their old living habits. Nanchan Temple, Nanchang Street Tickets: Free The night views of Nanchan Temple and Nanchang Street are considered to be the top sights in Wuxi. The cruise ships on Nanchang Street have the charm of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing Confucius Temple, and there are a wide variety of delicious food and cultural and creative stores around it. It is recommended to take a cruise to experience the unique charm of the Jiangnan water town. You can go to Nanchan Temple to take pictures of the night view at night. I didn’t go into the temple this time, but the snack street next to Nanchan Temple is rich and diverse, and it is crowded at night. Huishan Ancient Town + Jichang Garden Huishan Ancient Town Ticket: Free Jichang Garden: 70 RMB The outside of Huishan Ancient Town is free, but I have to recommend Jichang Garden. Although the ticket price is relatively high, the garden experience is truly outstanding. Every time I came to Wuxi, I would come here to take photos. I like to capture the light and shadows cast by the sun through the branches and leaves. It is comfortable and natural. Dangkou Ancient Town Tickets: Free Located at the junction of Wuxi, Changshu and Suzhou, it is close to Wuxi East Station. There is no subway, so you can only take a taxi. Compared with Huishan Ancient Town and Nanchang Street, Dangkou Ancient Town is indeed a suitable place for workers to relax and daydream on weekends. This place has completely retained the characteristics of the Jiangnan water town, with few people, quietness, and beautiful environment. It is also the filming location for many TV dramas.

Wuxi seems like a huge energy field... I would like to call it the INFP city! - Day1: Huishan Ancient Town - Jichang Garden - Xihui Park - Nanchang Street (Night View) Day2: Nanchan Temple - coffee walk - Light of Li Lake (Sunset) · 🏨Accommodation recommendation: Since I was traveling alone, I chose the ROCASE apartment hotel opposite Nanchang Street, which really has a high cost performance! A one-bedroom suite is also very suitable for couples or families with children, with a gym and a swimming pool, and breakfast is self-service. The restaurant also offers ordering service, and honestly, the food feels even better than eating outside~ The most important thing is that it's really convenient - 🍃Attraction recommendation: ✔️Huishan Ancient Town: A ticket-free scenic area, it's very comfortable to walk around and eat, and after the rain, the mist in the mountains is so spiritual! ✔️Jichang Garden: The most worthwhile place! It feels like a huge energy field! And it really heals you as much as any other garden ✔️Nanchang Street: You can come to take night photos, of course, it also feels very good during the day, with quite a few coffee shops ✔️Nanchan Temple: I found that the same type of prayer beads as in Yonghe Temple is only 1/3 of the price! It's really a bit outrageous, and it's so beautiful to walk on the bridge and take photos~ ✔️Light of Li Lake: The Light of Li Lake is so beautiful before sunset! Worthy of being called the little Sanya of Wuxi! It's also very comfortable to ride a bike here~

Walking on the busiest streets, everyone has their own life to be busy with. On Nanchang Street, I met many impressive people, some making sugar paintings on the spot and others cutting silhouette portraits. I also saw various green plants. Having grown up in Chongqing, coming to Wuxi made me feel inexplicably relaxed, with that unique Jiangnan charm. Riding a small scooter🛵 by Taihu Lake, feeling the breeze on my face, looking at the sparkling water of the lake, reflecting a healing blue hue, that feeling is very relaxing. Just being by the lake, I could daydream for a whole day. You can't experience this kind of relaxation with a military-style trip...

The current pagoda was rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty and renovated in the 1980s. 2. Nanchang Street.

Nanchan Temple, also known as Fusheng Zen Monastery, is located at No. 32 Xiangyang Road, Liangxi District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, situated in the southern corner of the old city of Wuxi, by the ancient canal. Nanchan Temple was first built in the first year of the Taiqing period of the Southern Liang Dynasty (547 AD), originally named Huguo Temple. It was one of the famous temples in Jiangnan among the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties, with the saying “Liangxi's grand temple, first Huishan, then Huguo.” In the first year of the Yongxi period of the Northern Song Dynasty (984 AD), a pagoda was built (later named Miaoguang Pagoda); in the third year of the Chongning period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1023-1031 AD), the temple was rebuilt and granted the name “Fusheng Zen Monastery,” commonly known as “Nanchan Temple,” and was called “The Most Flourishing Forest in Jiangnan.” The main buildings of Nanchan Temple exhibit the architectural characteristics of Buddhist temples in the Jiangnan region during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The beam structure inside the temple is relatively simplified, with beams and columns directly joined through mortise and tenon joints, without relying on the dougong layer. The height of the dougong on the columns occupies a small proportion of the total elevation but is densely packed. The eaves are relatively short, with beautifully curved flying eaves, elegant and lively. The roof has a steep pitch, with rich details in the tile work, reflecting the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Miaoguang Pagoda in the temple is a seven-story, eight-sided pavilion-style structure, with copper bells hanging from the eaves corners, praised as “the sound of the golden bell heard for ten miles, the jade dragon descending from the sky,” and is one of the “Eight Scenic Spots of Wuxi.” In 2012, the Nanchan Temple Scenic Area in Wuxi, where Nanchan Temple is located, was listed as a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

Impressions of Wuxi: the ancient charm of Nanchan, the night scene of Nanchang, and the rainy mood of Hui Mountain. 🌞Wuxi Trip: Encounter the tranquility of Nanchan, indulge in the night scene of Nanchang, and stroll in the rain of Hui Mountain🌧️ In this early summer season, I embarked on a journey to Wuxi, filled with infinite longing for this Jiangnan water town. At noon on the 18th, with the sun shining brightly, I arrived in this gentle city. The distance from the high-speed rail station to the hotel was just a stone's throw away, convenient and comfortable. The hotel was elegant and affordable, with a chain quality for about 160 yuan, making me feel warm and cozy. What's more delightful is that it's located right in the embrace of Nanchan Temple and Nanchang Street, as if it was a resting place tailor-made for my trip. 🏞️After dropping off my luggage, I couldn't wait to step into this ancient and charming world. Despite the high sun, the enthusiasm of the visitors was undiminished, and the solemnity of Nanchan Temple and the prosperity of Nanchang Street intertwined into a vivid picture. I wandered among them, feeling the historical charm emanating from every brick and tile. As night fell and the lights came on, the night scene of Nanchang Street was even more breathtaking. Compared with Nanjing and Suzhou, it had a unique flavor that made people linger and forget to return. Sitting alone under the bridge, avoiding the scorching sun, and enjoying the pleasant breeze on my face, at that moment, time seemed to stand still, and my soul found unprecedented peace. 🌧️However, the weather in Jiangnan is always changeable. That night, a light rain continued, heralding the arrival of the plum rain season. Although the rain was not heavy, it added a bit of poetry to my trip to Hui Mountain the next day. I bought tickets in advance and stepped into this ancient town with a long history. Hui Mountain Ancient Town, like many other Jiangnan ancient towns, is filled with a strong commercial atmosphere, but its simplicity and tranquility still intoxicate. The Suzhou-style gardens in the rain appeared even more gentle, with each raindrop seeming to tell a thousand-year-old story. Regrettably, due to the slippery roads in the rain, I was unable to climb to the top of Hui Mountain, but this regret also became a thought for a future revisit. 💡Here, I would like to remind friends who are about to embark on a journey during the Jiangnan plum rain season to check the weather forecast before setting out and to make rainproof preparations. A pair of waterproof shoe covers might make your journey more relaxed and enjoyable. At the same time, please also pay attention to safety and enjoy every intimate encounter with nature. My trip to Wuxi not only allowed me to experience the tranquility of Nanchan and the night scene of Nanchang but also let me find a spiritual home in the rain of Hui Mountain. This city, in its unique way, tells the story of Jiangnan, waiting for every traveler to listen and comprehend.

Nanchan Temple, also known as Fusheng Zen Temple, is located at No. 32 Xiangyang Road, Liangxi District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, within the northern area of the Wuxi Nanchan Temple Scenic Area. It is situated in the southern corner of the old city of Wuxi, by the ancient canal. Nanchan Temple was first built in the first year of the Taiqing era of the Southern Liang Dynasty (547 AD) and was initially named Huguo Temple. It was one of the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties. In the first year of the Yongxi era of the Northern Song Dynasty (984 AD), a pagoda was built (later named Miaoguang Pagoda). The temple was rebuilt during the third year of the Chongning era of the Northern Song Dynasty (1023-1031 AD) and was granted the name 'Fusheng Zen Temple'. It is commonly known as 'Nanchan Temple' and is reputed as 'the most flourishing forest in Jiangnan'. Nanchan Temple covers an area of 7,000 square meters and is divided into east and west routes, mainly featuring buildings such as the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Mahavira Hall, and the Miaoguang Pagoda. In 1983, the Miaoguang Pagoda in Nanchan Temple was announced by the Wuxi Municipal People's Government as one of the first batch of cultural relics protection units in Wuxi.

Nanjing university students visited Wuxi on a scorching hot day, and it was insanely hot. 1⃣️ Got up at 6:30 in the morning to catch the high-speed train 🚅 from Nanjing South at around 8:00 (really sleepy, could hardly open my eyes, you guys don't need to get up so early because it might not take that long). 2⃣️ After arriving in Wuxi, you can store your luggage first (here directly at the subway 🚇 station for free, don't look for luggage lockers, they are really unreliable). The subway staff will have you register your name and phone number, and give you a number tag, just come back to collect it when you're done, the guys and girls are really enthusiastic! 3⃣️ The first stop was Donglin Academy, directly accessible by subway, 500m walk from Donglin Square Station Exit 1 to the east entrance of Donglin Academy. If you want to check in at the main gate, remember to walk out of the south exit! The fountain inside Donglin Academy is really beautiful and worth taking photos of 📸. 4⃣️ Then, you can take a bus from Donglin Academy to Nanchan Temple, just two stops and two yuan (it's best to have coins ready, I couldn't open Alipay at the time, luckily I brought coins with me, it was super embarrassing 😳). There are many people offering incense at Nanchan Temple, and if you're interested, you can buy some at the entrance! Although it's not expensive, remember to shop around. 5⃣️ At Tianning Temple, we ordered the Overlord Tea Ji, which was a new product called Wanli Magnolia, ordered two cups, and got a badge blind bag, in which I pulled out a treasure ship 🚢. The new product is really the taste of Assam milk tea, those who like Assam can give it a try, the tea flavor is quite strong. 6⃣️ Then we walked to Nanchang Street, not far, but it was really hot in the scorching sun, almost killed me!!! The Xinwanxin on Nanchang Street is really delicious, Wuxi's special silver thread noodles hahaha, I had the chicken soup base, the red soup base is also very good, served with sweet and sour ribs, really fragrant, worth a try, and not expensive, a bowl of noodles is only 10 yuan, plus some side dishes, the average cost per person is just over 50. 7⃣️ After lunch, we took a taxi to the Wuxi Museum (it's quite far, if you don't want to ride a shared bike 🚲 or a shared electric scooter 🛵, just choose to take a taxi, it's not expensive, Didi is only about ten yuan). Wuxi Museum is quite large, if you look carefully, it will take a long time to visit. 8⃣️ The last stop was Sanyang Plaza, needless to say, Sanyang Plaza is really Wuxi's small Xinjiekou, very large, takes a long time to explore, we also went to Xiaolou Lane, but because it was too hot, we didn't stay long and just wandered in the mall until the end. Today's expense was 150↔️, discovered another city suitable for budget travel, hahahaha (maybe not suitable for budget travel, it's just that I'm rather poor).
