I thought Wuzhen was beautiful enough until I visited Huishan Ancient Town|||

|||. Meeting Huishan Ancient Town, I realized that the beauty of Jiangnan is not limited to Wuzhen! April in Jiangnan seems like the most exquisite painting of nature, lush and vibrant, with every scene like a poem or a painting. To explore the tranquility and simplicity that time has treated gently, I embarked on a journey to Wuxi, just to encounter Huishan Ancient Town. At first sight, I couldn't help but exclaim: If I had known Huishan was so beautiful, why would I have sought other places! 📍Location Navigation: Huishan Ancient Town Scenic Area, Liangxi District, Wuxi City, a place where you won't want to leave once you arrive. 🎫Ticket Information: A combined ticket for Xihui Park and the cultural relics area costs only 70 yuan, while the historical and cultural street area is open for free, offering great value for money. 🗺️Walking Guide: I carefully planned a city walk route, entering from the Qingshan Gate of Xihui Park, taking a cable car through the mountains and forests to the top, overlooking the whole view of Wuxi, then strolling to the lakeside of Yingshan Lake, and finally entering the depths of the ancient town from the South Gate. Along the way, I visited historical sites such as Jichang Garden, Huishan Temple, and the Second Spring Under Heaven, and finally strolled along Huishan Straight Street, leisurely leaving from the Northeast Gate, directly reaching Exit 6 of Metro Line 4, which is very convenient. The Infinite Charm of Huishan Ancient Town: Cable Car Journey: A one-way ticket costs 40 yuan, and a round trip costs 60 yuan. Although not cheap, the view that rises leisurely in the mountains and forests, capturing the cityscape of Wuxi, makes all the expenses worthwhile. Garden Exploration: Jichang Garden, one of the four major gardens in Jiangnan, is breathtaking with its true mountain and water garden art. Especially the scenery that cleverly integrates Longguang Pagoda and Huishan, making one imagine the scene where Emperor Qianlong lingered back then. Ancient Temple Blessing: Walking into the thousand-year-old Huishan Temple, the ancient ginkgo tree that has witnessed six hundred years of wind and rain seems to be telling the story of time. The Second Spring Under Heaven beside it adds a touch of elegance and spirituality to this ancient temple. Flower Enjoyment: Every corner of the ancient town is blooming with the colors of life, with azaleas, roses, and monthly roses competing to bloom, decorating the ancient town like a poem or painting. Gourmet Journey: In the historical and cultural street area, although the river pond is under renovation, the food has never been absent. The delicacy of tofu pudding, the crispness of oil pastry, the smoothness of silver noodles... every bite is an ultimate temptation to the taste buds. Travel Tips: Whether it's sunny or cloudy, Huishan Ancient Town has its unique charm. If you encounter light rain, you can experience the hazy beauty of Jiangnan rain. When taking photos, consider bringing props like fans, umbrellas, and teacups. They can not only add a touch of ancient charm to your photos but also help you better integrate into the Jiangnan style. The white orchid dew and white orchid green grape milk tea from 'Grandpa Doesn't Make Tea' are also must-have photo props. The blue-purple packaging complements the early summer season of the ancient town, making people fall in love at first sight.
