I thought Wuzhen was beautiful enough, until I visited Hui Shan Ancient Town

April in the south of the Yangtze River is full of greenery and picturesque scenery. For Hui Shan Ancient Town, I made a special trip to Wuxi. Once I arrived, I regretted not coming earlier😫 · 📍｜Hui Shan Ancient Town Scenic Area, Liangxi District, Wuxi City 🎫｜Xi Hui Park + Cultural Relics and Historic Sites Area 70r, Historical and Cultural Street Area free 🗺️｜Citywalk route: Enter through Qingshan Gate of Xi Hui Park—Take the cable car up and down the mountain top—Yingshan Lake—Enter the ancient town from the south gate—Historical and Cultural Relics Area (Jichang Garden—Hui Shan Temple—The Second Best Spring in the World)—Hui Shan Straight Street—Exit from the Northeast Gate ✨｜There are several gates to Hui Shan Ancient Town. Following my route, you won't have to backtrack and can cover all the highlights of the ancient town. Exiting from the Northeast Gate leads directly to the subway station Line 4, Exit 6 · What to play in Hui Shan Ancient Town❓ ✅Ride the cable car One-way 40r, round-trip 60r, not cheap but worth it. The cable car shuttles through the mountains and forests, and after reaching the top, you can overlook the entire Wuxi panorama, with a view of all the smaller mountains. ✅Visit gardens Jichang Garden is one of the four great gardens of the south of the Yangtze River. The stacked landscaping is all real mountains and waters, especially the position in the first picture, which integrates Longguang Tower and Hui Shan into the garden scenery. No wonder even Emperor Qianlong lingered here! ✅Worship at the ancient temple The thousand-year-old Hui Shan Temple, where there is a ginkgo tree over 600 years old. I can't imagine how beautiful it would be in autumn! The Second Best Spring in the World is right next to Hui Shan Temple. ✅Appreciate flowers Azaleas, roses, and Chinese roses bloom in every corner of the ancient town. ✅Seek gourmet food In the historical and cultural street area, the river pond is under construction, so leave the time for gourmet food. Tofu pudding, crispy cakes, silver thread noodles... Writing about them makes me drool two pounds.🤤 · Touring tips🔖 ❶ The ancient town is suitable for strolling on both cloudy and sunny days. If it drizzles a little, it would be truly enchanting in the misty rain of the south of the Yangtze River. ❷ When taking photos in the ancient town, you can bring some small props like fans, umbrellas, teacups, etc. This time I brought the treasure new product from 'Grandpa Doesn't Make Tea'🥤Bailan Yulu and Bailan Qingti. When I passed by their shop, I was instantly attracted by the milk tea cup🤩The blue-purple packaging is elegant and stylish, and the orchid pattern on the cup is very characteristic of the nation, perfectly matching the early summer of the Jiangnan ancient town!
