#chinatrip I thought Wuzhen was beautiful enough until I went to Huishan Ancient Town!! In April, Jiangnan was lush with greenery and picturesque scenery. In order to visit the ancient town of Huishan, I made a special trip to Wuxi.

After spring, besides enjoying the flowers, what else attracts you? I prefer to seek out the intriguing history and culture hidden in the springtime. 🌟 Huishan Ancient Town Scenic Area is rich in cultural relics and has beautiful mountains, waters, forests, and springs. It features ancient streets, gardens, temples, springs, academies, poetry societies, and ancestral halls, offering a variety of traditional cultural resources. Standing in front of the Drunken Red Slope, I understand what the Tang Dynasty poet Han Wo meant by 'a garden of bright red flowers intoxicates the mound'. The Chinese Azalea Garden in the area has more than 500 varieties of azaleas, which decorate the mountains and form a scenic view with the flowers. 🌟 Emperor Qianlong once wrote, 'Among all the famous places in Jiangnan, only Huishan's Qin Garden is the oldest.' Do you know where Qin Garden is? It is the Jichang Garden, one of the four famous gardens in Jiangnan. As is well known, the gardens of Suzhou were built by frustrated literati, but Jichang Garden was built by a successful official who retired and returned to his hometown, hence its style is more bright and unrestrained compared to the gardens of Suzhou. 🌟 The 108 ancestral halls in Huishan Ancient Town are simply an 'open-air history museum'. After visiting the Gu Kejiu Ancestral Hall, you can go to the Fan Wenzhenggong Ancestral Hall, where you can experience making a handcrafted fan and feel the eternal saying, 'Worry before the world worries, enjoy after the world enjoys'. 🌟 In the afternoon, in the Lu Zi Ancestral Hall, enjoy a cup of tea made with water from the Second Spring while overlooking the winding dragon wall and the Second Spring below. Did 'Tea Saint' Lu Yu also enjoy such a leisurely and comfortable time back in the day? 🚩 During the Azalea Festival, there are also many activities. 1⃣️ There is a night tour of the Azalea Garden, listening to the spring song of azaleas at the Drunken Red Slope. 2⃣️ There is the Huishan Temple Fair, which is full of worldly delights. 3⃣️ In the evening at Jichang Garden, there is 'A Dream in the Garden', where you can listen to a piece of Kunqu opera in the 500-year-old garden. 4⃣️ There is also the 'Crossing the River on a Reed' water performance, which uses the water surface of the Yingshan Lake in the scenic area for a beautiful performance between the mountains and waters. 🎏TIPS: 📍 About location: No. 18 Baoshan Street, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province 🚗 About transportation: Exit 6 of Huishan Ancient Town Station on Wuxi Metro Line 4, 15 minutes by taxi from Wuxi Train Station. ⏰ Spring event time: Yangtze River Delta Azalea Boutique Exhibition: March 30 - May 6 Night tour open from April 19 to May 5 Daytime: 07:00-17:00 (17:30 on Saturdays and Sundays) Evening: 17:30-21:00 💸 About tickets: Historical and cultural district is free, cultural relics area is 70 yuan, Azalea Garden is 15 yuan 🌟 Famous attractions: Azalea Garden, Jichang Garden, Huishan Temple, The Second Spring in the World, Xihui Park, Xishan, Huishan 🍽️ About food: Wuxi spare ribs, Taihu Three Whites, scallion oil eel, brown sugar taro, Huishan fried gluten, silver thread noodles, Huishan crispy cake, tofu pudding, Huishan yellow wine, etc. 🏠 About accommodation: Huishan Ancient Town is located in the bustling city, with many surrounding hotels.

🌟 Wuxi, this poetic city, is the thirteenth stop on my budget travel journey through China. Not only does it boast the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake, but it also has a profound cultural heritage.

Even a simple magnolia cake became more delicious because of the auntie's enthusiasm. On Nan Chang Street, the craftspeople's skills were an eye-opener for me, sugar painting, paper-cutting, each one an artwork. The Jiangnan atmosphere of Wuxi made me, a girl from Chongqing, feel incredibly relaxed. Cycling by Taihu Lake, with the lake breeze gently blowing and the sparkling waves, that tranquility seemed to make one forget all worries. Traveling is not just about the destination, but also a process of spiritual purification and self-discovery.

Huishan National Forest Park, Wuxi. A sudden planned travel with some not so good experience. I climed up the mountain `Mount Hui` which is about 328 meter high with many stiff and uncanny steps and road. I had a jaw dropping expectation to explore something at the peak but I was extremely despaired. Other than 2/3 small shops with some fruits and light snacks and the surrounding view there was nothing else to talk about! Even there was no proper sanitary facility for the public. On the way to the peak I found two small temples with as usual features. Overall, this place can be recommended for hiking only. #ancienttomb#historicculture
