🚗 Transportation: Driving is recommended, there is a parking lot; you can also take a taxi, public transportation is not very convenient.

The ancient town retains the charm of a Jiangnan water town, with white walls and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water, quiet and comfortable. Strolling along the stone road, you can see centuries-old buildings and ancient bridges spanning the river, perfect for taking photos📸 The willow trees by the river sway in the wind, like a beautiful ink painting.

Hidden Gem in Wuxi: Picturesque Xuntang Ancient Town
Hey friends, when you come to Wuxi, don't just visit Nianhua Bay! Xuntang Ancient Town is also super worth exploring. Located in Shangxian River Wetland Park, Binhu District, Wuxi City, it offers beautiful scenery with fewer crowds and free admission🆓✌️. It's absolutely stunning during the flower season✌🏻.
📚History of the Ancient Town
Xuntang Ancient Town was built in the second year of the Republic of China (1913) and got its name because it's situated on the banks of the ancient Xuntang River. Many buildings from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China are preserved here, with blue bricks and gray tiles telling stories of the past.
📍Must-See Spots
✅Xuntang Bridge: The landmark of the ancient town. Take photos of the scenery on both sides of the river from the bridge for amazing shots.
✅Republic of China Architecture: The ancient town has many houses in the style of the Republic of China, creating a strong retro atmosphere.
🚶Suggested Route
Enter from the entrance of the ancient town, visit Xuntang Bridge first, then stroll along the riverbank, admiring the architecture of the Republic of China. There are many small shops to explore along the way. Finally, find a riverside cafe, sit down, enjoy the scenery, and relax.
Don't miss the local steamed buns (xiaolongbao), they are sweet but not greasy😋.

Choose a quiet afternoon and visit this lesser-known wetland park 🏕️
You'll find that everything you see is colorful and beautiful ☘️
The dense redwoods are reflected in the blue lake 🗾
Like the brushstrokes of an oil painting ✨
The light and shadow are like scattered stars, creating a romantic rain by the lake 🌌
Each frame, each picture, is a colorful oil painting 🖼️
📍: Shangxian River Wetland Park - Fengrun Dao Subway Station
🚇: Subway Line 4 - Exit 3 of Fengrun Dao Station - 200 m walk

📸: We recommend taking photos on a sunny day 🌞, with a clean background and bright colors, and you can also take backlit photos to capture the stars on the water. Use trees as the foreground or people as embellishments to create an oil painting atmosphere ✨
