2️⃣ Nanchansi: Located on the bank of the ancient canal, it was once one of the 'Four Hundred and Eighty Temples of the Southern Dynasties', and the temple at night is more desolate under the dim lights after the hustle and bustle.
3️⃣ Qingming Bridge: A landmark building on Nanchang Street, the largest ancient stone arch bridge existing in Wuxi.
4️⃣ Ancient Canal Town: Centered around the ancient canal, covering an area of 18.78 hectares, composed of temples, pagodas, rivers, streets, bridges, kilns, and workshops, forming a characteristic environment; the ancient canal town still maintains the dual chessboard city pattern of roads and rivers running parallel, retaining the characteristics of the Jiangnan water town with small bridges, flowing water, households, and deep ancient alleys, with hundreds of historical buildings and nine ancient bridges, etc.
