Suzhou is beautiful, but have you ever been to Wuxi?

I always thought that Suzhou's gentle and elegant beauty was the ceiling of Jiangnan scenery, until I stepped into Wuxi, and I realized that there was such a charming water town scenery. Wuxi has become famous for its Spring Festival Gala, and its unique Jiangnan water charm is really unforgettable. We went to Wuxi this time to chase seagulls and stroll through the ancient town. We were amazed by the city chosen by CCTV. Wuxi is so beautiful that it is against the rules! Below is a super-awesome 1-2 day Wuxi travel guide. 📍 Itinerary Huishan Ancient Town→Yuyantang→Night Tour of Nanchang Street 👉 If you have enough time, it is highly recommended to reserve a whole day to visit Huishan Ancient Town. Every corner of the town is full of stories. 🔻 Huishan Ancient Town Huishan Ancient Town during the Spring Festival is like a slow walk through the old times. Lanterns are hung high in the ancient town, and the atmosphere is lively. The scenic area is full of surprises. Jichang Garden, Huishan Town Ancestral Hall, the courtyard of the Second Spring, and stone carvings, as well as the Jingzhong of Huishan Temple are located here. There are also four Jiangsu Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Units, including Erquan Academy, and 13 Wuxi Municipal Cultural Relics Protection Units, including Longguang Pagoda. The profound historical and cultural heritage is enough for you to spend a whole day here. 🔻 Jichang Garden As one of the four famous gardens in Jiangnan, Jichang Garden's beauty is breathtaking. The garden cleverly uses the borrowed scenery technique to incorporate the Longguang Pagoda into the scenery, as if the entire mountain is included in the picture frame. Walking under the corridor, the light and shadow are mottled, and every step is a scene, exuding a unique charm. 🔻 Yuyantang In February, Yuyantang is still home to Siberian red-mouthed gulls. Watching flocks of gulls chasing after the cruise ship and flying around, every shot is a movie-like picture. Spring is approaching, and I can't imagine how beautiful Yuyantang will be when the cherry blossoms bloom in March. ✅ The seagull watching season lasts until the end of February. If you want to have a wonderful experience, remember to take the ferry at sunset and choose a ferry that departs about 20 minutes before sunset. The scenery is absolutely stunning. ✅ Tickets for the cherry blossom season must be purchased online in advance, and it is best to avoid the peak hours of the weekend to fully enjoy the scenery. ✅ Learn about the best cherry blossom viewing spots in March in advance: you can overlook the sea of flowers from the top floor of Yuyantang, and Cherry Blossom Valley and Cherry Blossom Avenue are also good places to take photos. 🔻 Nanchang Street As a sub-venue of the Spring Festival Gala, Nanchang Street's light show and the Grand Canal complement each other, creating a strong festive atmosphere. It is recommended to visit in the early evening, stroll through the waterside light and shadow, and experience the wonderful experience of "ancient and modern in the same frame". 📝 Travel essentials ✅ During the trip, you will walk a lot. It is recommended to wear a pair of comfortable and easy-to-walk sports shoes to make your trip easier. ✅ In places full of ancient charm like Yuyantang and ancient town streets, wearing Hanfu to take photos will be more photogenic and easily take photos of ancient style. ✅ I wore NULLFIT merino underwear during this trip. It is comfortable to wear, no binding, no pressure, and it won't feel cold even if you sweat. It dries quickly, and even if you don't change it, it will still be dry and odorless after 2-3 days, which is very suitable for travel.
