| Must-Visit Hidden Gem Garden in Wuxi with Detailed Guide. Everyone, you absolutely cannot miss Xihu Park when visiting Wuxi! This park combines natural beauty with deep historical and cultural heritage, and it's full of surprises at every turn ✨ Today I'm sharing my recommended route for exploring it~ 📍Entrance: Start by exploring and eating your way through Huishan Ancient Town, follow the main road to the end, and you'll see Xihu Park 🎫 The entrance fee is only 10 yuan, offering incredible value! 🏞️Jichang Garden: Once you enter the park, I strongly recommend visiting Jichang Garden first. This Ming Dynasty garden is truly a treasure of Jiangnan garden architecture, with pavilions, artificial hills, and ponds complementing each other. Every step reveals a new view, and any photo you take will capture the perfect classical Chinese atmosphere - an ideal spot for traditional-style photography. 🌊Second Spring Under Heaven: Not far from Jichang Garden is the Second Spring Under Heaven. The spring water is crystal clear, surrounded by lush trees, and you can almost hear Abing's "Moon Reflected on Er-quan" playing in your mind, immersing you in historical charm. 🌸Azalea Garden: If you visit in spring, don't miss the Azalea Garden! The hillsides are covered with azaleas competing in beauty - red like fire, pink like sunset clouds, white like snow. Being there feels like walking into an ocean of flowers. 🚠Cable Car: When you get tired of walking, take the cable car 🚠 Starting from the foot of Xi Mountain, it slowly ascends, giving you a panoramic view of the entire Xihu Park and Wuxi city. The feeling is absolutely delightful~ 🌉Yingshan Lake: After riding the cable car, take a walk along Yingshan Lake to enjoy the scenery of mountains and water. The sparkling lake surface, distant green mountains and trees, and occasional passing boats are truly therapeutic. 🍜Food: There are many Wuxi specialty foods around the park, such as Youzanzi, Haitang Cake, and tofu pudding, all worth trying to satisfy your taste buds~ Xihu Park is truly a place where you can slow down and appreciate the beauty of life. Bring your family and friends to visit soon 💕

Depart from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, take a round-trip high-speed rail ➡️One-day tour to the Spring Festival Gala Wuxi venue, and experience the New Year atmosphere of the ancient town in advance! ✅My one-day tour route Xihui Park➡️Mountain Cableway➡️Yingshan Lake➡️Huishan Temple➡️The Second Spring in the World➡️Jichang Garden➡️Huishan Ancient Town ✅Attractions: Huishan Ancient Town (one of the three venues in Wuxi) 📍Address: No. 18, Baoshan Street, Wuxi City 🚇Transportation: Exit 6 of Huishan Ancient Town Station on Metro Line 4 (walk 200 meters after exiting the station). It takes about 25 minutes to reach Huishan Ancient Town from Wuxi Station. 🎫Tickets: No tickets are required, the ancient town is open 24 hours a day. Some small attractions in the ancient town require tickets. ✅Attractions: Xihui Scenic Area 🚇Transportation: Metro Line 4 Huishan Ancient Town Station Exit 5 (walk 200 meters from the station) 🎫Tickets: There are many attractions in Xihui Scenic Area: Xihui Park, Jichang Garden, the Second Spring in the World, Huishan Temple, Yingshan Lake, Azalea Garden, etc. You can choose a combined ticket for Huishan Ancient Town + Xihui Scenic Area. ✅Post-tour experience 🔹Huishan Ancient Town, be sure to see the night view. When you are tired of walking around during the day, you can find a teahouse by the river to drink tea. When the big red lanterns light up at night, it is a highlight moment that only belongs to Chinese people. 🔹After taking the mountain cableway to the top of the mountain, you can overlook Wuxi and feel like you are in Xihattan! But there are no other attractions on the top of the mountain. We took ten minutes to take photos and check in before going down the mountain. 🔹Xihui Park is quite lively, with elderly people doing morning exercises, a children's playground, and cruise ships in Yingshan Lake. Overall, it is more suitable for shopping with elders and children 🔹Huishan Temple. Some areas were under repair when I went there, so the incense was not that popular. Jichang Garden is very beautiful. It is a great place to take photos in ancient costumes!
