Stop by Jichang Garden, a beautifully designed, quiet garden that’s perfect for wandering. The local snacks in the ancient town are a must-try, too! 🍡 Afternoon: Head to Nanchang Street by the Qingming Bridge on the ancient Grand Canal. The area is bustling, but still not too crowded, especially on weekdays. It's full of quaint shops where you can buy souvenirs or simply window shop. It’s perfect for a relaxed stroll.

March 25, 2025, is the perfect time to admire the cherry blossoms at Yuantouzhu, Wuxi. The early cherry blossoms are beginning to wither, the mid-season cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the late cherry blossoms are budding. There are three entrances to Yuantouzhu: Chongshan Gate, Dushan Gate, and Guanshe Villa Pier (Guanshe Villa Pier No. 3, also known as Fisherman's Wharf, offers parking; if it's full, you can park in the opposite residential area). The first two gates are usually crowded, especially Chongshan Gate, which is far from Yuantouzhu. Although there are sightseeing trams, they are not recommended due to the long queues. For a time-saving experience, enter through Guanshe Villa Pier. You can purchase both Yuantouzhu entrance tickets (90 yuan/person) and speedboat tickets (45 yuan/person, one-way; return tickets must be purchased again at Changchun Bridge). A ten-minute speedboat ride takes you directly to Changchun Bridge (inside the Yuantouzhu scenic area). The cherry blossoms at Yuantouzhu are mainly concentrated around Changchun Bridge and Cherry Blossom Valley (including the Cherry Blossom Viewing Tower). No need for flowery words—the photos speak for themselves. After seeing these two spots, the cherry blossoms elsewhere might not seem as impressive. After disembarking at Changchun Bridge, go left to Cherry Blossom Valley, or right along the lake to Guangfu Temple, where you can enjoy a bowl of vegetarian noodles for 20 yuan (quite tasty). From Guangfu Temple, head east and pass through a bamboo forest to reach Cherry Blossom Valley. We parked at the residential area opposite Guanshe Villa Pier at 10:00 am and returned to our car at 1:30 pm after enjoying the cherry blossoms. The entire trip was leisurely, including a coffee break and a bowl of noodles, taking a total of 3.5 hours and costing 180 yuan/person (90 yuan for the entrance ticket + 90 yuan for the round-trip speedboat). We felt it was well worth it to admire the cherry blossoms at Yuantouzhu, Wuxi, one of the three major international cherry blossom festivals.

| A hardcore itinerary for a weekend trip to Wuxi. Blooming Flowers | Weekend Trip to Wuxi: A 2-Day Hardcore Itinerary Taking the high-speed train from Wuhan to Wuxi takes only 4 hours, a totally acceptable travel time. Arriving Friday night and returning Sunday night allowed for two full days of fun. It was a sunny, fulfilling, and beautiful trip! Transportation Wuxi Railway Station is located in the city center, close to various attractions. Booking a hotel near the station is recommended. Local Transportation Wuxi is not a very large city. Most popular scenic spots are accessible by subway. Taxi rides within the city are generally under 10 km, making it quite convenient. However, expect traffic congestion during peak hours. Itinerary Day 1: Flower Viewing Tour Purchasing the Wuxi Garden Pass is recommended. At ¥200 per person, it grants access to most major attractions. Initially, I didn't buy it, thinking I'd only be there for two days, but later realized it's more cost-effective. Li Garden Tickets: ¥45 Transportation: Take the subway to Xiajiabian or Lihu Bridge. The walk to the entrance is a little over a kilometer. Driving or taking a taxi is not recommended due to heavy traffic congestion at the entrance. The peach blossoms in Li Garden were in full bloom this weekend, creating a dense and stunning display. The pear blossoms by the lake were also fresh and elegant. Tai Hu Yuantouzhu Scenic Spot Tickets: ¥90 Transportation: A shuttle bus is available from Xiajiabian subway station for ¥5 per person. However, the road there was extremely congested (possibly due to the Wuxi Marathon and the influx of tourists). We stood on the bus for 50 minutes for a short trip. Walking or cycling from Li Garden is recommended. Alternatively, take a boat from Li Garden's pier for ¥50 per trip. The downside is that boats depart hourly on the hour, and long queues can lead to extended waiting times. The early cherry blossoms had just withered, and the next wave hadn't bloomed yet. They will likely be spectacular next weekend. The park is quite large, offering several hours of exploration and a variety of other flowers. Day 2: Cultural Tour Huishan Ancient Town Tickets: Free This town is quite commercialized, with many local delicacies. With proper planning, you can find some delicious specialties. It's also very crowded. Jichang Garden Tickets: ¥70 Located next to the ancient town, this garden is worth a visit. It features antique buildings, and the adjacent Huishan Temple is a popular place of worship. There are also several smaller historical sites nearby. Xihui Park Tickets: ¥10 Accessible through a side gate of Jichang Garden. Remember to book in advance for the Azalea Garden, as the azaleas are not yet in bloom. Nanchan Temple Tickets: Free Due to time constraints, we didn't visit, but there are many great restaurants nearby, such as Cai A Po and Xishengyuan. Further afield, you'll find Caozhang Street and Maohua Snacks. Nanchang Street Featured in the Spring Festival Gala, this street is primarily a commercial area with standardized businesses. However, venturing deeper into the less crowded alleys offers good photo opportunities. The bridge provides a view similar to the one featured in the Spring Festival Gala broadcast. Food My friend took me to two of her favorite restaurants: Tianfuyuan and Qiangshu Zhuzazhou. Both were delicious! The former offers authentic Wuxi cuisine that caters to a wide range of palates, making it a safe bet. Traditional Clothing Jiangnan cities are perfect for taking photos in Hanfu. Many people rent outfits and take photos in the gardens. It's a beautiful and elegant sight.

Spring in Wuxi is a romantic pink affair. Take advantage of the weekend and head to this famous Jiangnan city to embark on a spring feast of cherry blossom viewing and night tours. Daytime: Taihu Yuantouzhu, Encounter a Dreamlike Sea of Cherry Blossoms Yuantouzhu, a peninsula lying on the northwest bank of Taihu Lake, is one of the three major cherry blossom viewing spots in the world. When the warm spring sun shines, more than 30,000 cherry trees bloom one after another, decorating the entire park into a dreamlike pink wonderland. Stepping into Yuantouzhu, the first thing that catches your eye are the cherry blossoms by the Changchun Bridge. Stroll along the lake, and as the breeze blows, the petals fall like snow, scattering on your shoulders and the lake, making it intoxicatingly beautiful. Continue forward to Cherry Blossom Valley, a sea of cherry blossoms where different varieties intertwine, with shades of pink and red layered distinctly. Ascend Luting Mountain and overlook the entire Yuantouzhu, where the cherry blossoms complement the landscape of Taihu Lake, creating a picturesque spring scene that unfolds before your eyes. Recommended Nearby Tours 1. Lihu Park: Not far from Yuantouzhu, Lihu Lake has clear water and lush greenery along its banks. Here you can enjoy the lake and mountain scenery, as well as many Jiangnan-style gardens. Stroll through them and feel the tranquility and beauty of spring. 2. Wuxi Film and Television Base: If you are interested in the culture of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, you might want to visit. This is a filming location for CCTV's TV series, allowing you to travel back to ancient times, appreciate the charm of history, and immerse yourself in the era of warring states or chivalry. Night: Nanchang Street, Experience the Night View of a Jiangnan Water Town As night falls and the lights come on, Nanchang Street welcomes its most charming moment. This ancient street, built along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, retains many buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Walking on the stone road, the red lanterns hanging on the roadside complement the reflections in the water, creating a dreamlike scene. The small shops along the street are dazzling, with traditional Jiangnan snack shops emitting enticing aromas, and artistic handicraft shops filled with exquisite trinkets. Find a teahouse by the river, order a cup of fragrant tea, admire the night view outside the window, and experience the unique gentleness and tranquility of a Jiangnan water town. If you are tired, you can also take a swaying boat and slowly travel along the canal, experiencing the unique charm of Nanchang Street from the water's perspective. Listening to the sound of oars across the water, it feels as if time has slowed down. This weekend, come to Wuxi for a spring date, immerse yourself under the cherry blossom trees of Yuantouzhu, linger in the night view of Nanchang Street, and experience the unique spring charm of this city.

March is almost here, and it's cherry blossom season again! Every year, I look forward to the sea of cherry blossoms at Yuantouzhu in Wuxi. It's breathtakingly beautiful, like stepping into a pink and white fairy tale world, with romantic cherry blossoms everywhere. When the wind blows, the petals flutter down, creating a magical atmosphere! Here are some photo tips for you👇 - Best shooting time: Most cherry blossoms reach full bloom at the end of March. From 4-6 pm, the warm glow of the setting sun casts a gentle, filter-like hue on the cherry blossoms. - Hidden gem shooting spots: Changchun Bridge is a must-visit. With the bridge as the foreground and the vast expanse of cherry blossoms and lake water in the distance, the composition is superb. Find any cherry blossom tree in the Cherry Blossom Valley, stand under it, and shoot upwards. This way, you can avoid the crowds and capture the feeling of being surrounded by cherry blossoms. - Photo tips: Light-colored clothing, such as white or light pink, works best. Bring small props, like a transparent umbrella or a literary book, to add a touch of storytelling to your photos. 🚗[Transportation Guide] 1. Self-driving: Navigate to "Yuantouzhu Scenic Area." There is a parking lot in the scenic area, but it gets very crowded during peak season, so it's recommended to start early! 2.

Don't think Yuantouzhu is only worth visiting during the cherry blossom season. Even when the cherry blossoms aren't in bloom, the scenery here is just as pleasant. Without the hustle and bustle of crowds, strolling here is particularly enjoyable. The vast expanse of Taihu Lake shimmers under the sun, and the horizon where the water meets the sky is magnificent. Weeping willows line the shore, swaying gently in the breeze, complementing the distant green hills. This place is tranquil and serene, exuding natural beauty everywhere. Every photo taken here is a stunning scenic masterpiece. Yuantouzhu is a long-established scenic spot in Wuxi. The cherry blossoms in spring and the sunset and seagulls in winter are all fascinating. After entering, there's a free shuttle bus that takes you directly to the Cherry Blossom Valley, which is also close to the ferry terminal. You can take a boat to the Fairy Island. The island is full of artificial attractions, which aren't that interesting. However, the sunset view from the boat is truly beautiful. Wuxi talent certification offers a garden pass. The Lunar New Year holiday ended before I knew it. Time flies! Taking advantage of the remaining few days of annual leave, I decided to take a short trip nearby to unwind. Yuantouzhu is a famous attraction in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China. I haven't been there in a while, so I chose this place. -**Yuantouzhu Scenic Area**: It boasts beautiful lake scenery and rich plant life. -*Cherry Blossom Valley*: In spring, cherry blossoms are in full bloom, making it a great place for taking photos. It's a pity that it's winter now, and the trees are bare. -*Three Hills Half Submerged in the Azure Sky**: A famous scenic spot and one of the three mountains of Taihu Lake. -*Taihu Fairy Island*: You can take a boat to visit this small island in Taihu Lake. You can also feed seagulls on the way, but it's windy now. However, the advantage of winter is that there are fewer people. Many photo spots are empty, so you can take photos freely, such as at the lighthouse... The overall experience is still very good.

As a Marriott Bonvoy Silver Elite member, I love exploring the unique experiences offered by each Marriott hotel. During the Qingming Festival holiday, I chose to travel during off-peak times. Hotel prices were cheaper, and there were fewer people at the attractions. It was a high-quality escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and I embarked on a tranquil getaway. 1. Hotel Overview: A Blend of Jiangnan Gardens and Taihu Lake Scenery Wuxi Marriott Hotel Lihu Lake is located by Lihu Lake, adjacent to the Yuantouzhu Scenic Area of Taihu Lake. Since its opening in 2018, it has become a popular choice for vacation and business travelers in the Yangtze River Delta region, thanks to its Jiangnan garden-style design with "gardens and scenic spots within reach." The hotel was designed by Hong Kong CCD Design Firm, combining the elegance of northern architecture with the delicacy of Jiangnan gardens. The gray and white buildings complement the shimmering waters of Lihu Lake, reminiscent of the classical scene of Fan Li and Xi Shi boating on the lake. During the Qingming Festival, the surrounding willows sway, and cherry blossoms bloom, adding to the poetic atmosphere. 2. Room Experience: As a Marriott Silver Elite member, I booked the most basic room type this time. Even during off-peak travel, the hotel did not upgrade me to a suite but upgraded me to an Executive Lake View Room (a higher-floor room facing Lihu Lake), offering a panoramic view of Lihu Lake. 3. Dining Experience: A Combination of Local Flavors and Member Benefits 1. Executive Lounge: Located on the top floor, the lounge offers a wide view. During my stay, I enjoyed afternoon tea and happy hour, mainly replenishing fruits and soda. Dinner was filling, and the dishes were replenished promptly. 2. Zhen Kitchen All-Day Dining: I had breakfast and dinner buffet here. Breakfast was at the traditional five-star hotel level, with everything available, but no dishes left a special impression. Hotel guests can enjoy a 20% discount on the dinner buffet, and it can also be charged to the room for points. I was impressed by the small lobsters (half a lobster per person), the grilled French lamb chops, and the sirloin steak, which were all delicious. I had four or five servings. Additionally, there was a brief appearance of ham with melon in the evening, which felt like great value for money. 4. Facilities and Services: 1. Fitness Facilities: I haven't been there, but it looks good online, with a children's pool. 2. Family-Friendly: The hotel offers a kids' club, but I didn't use it. I went out with my child, and there were many entertainment facilities (similar to arcades) on the basement floor. 3. Service Details: This was my second stay, and even during the off-season, there was no upgrade. The last time I traveled with my parents, I booked two rooms, and the hotel generously provided breakfast and executive lounge access for two additional people. 5. Nearby Attractions: A Great Base for Qingming Outings 1. Cherry Blossom Viewing at Yuantouzhu: A 30-minute walk or a 10-minute taxi ride. The hotel is conveniently located, and after breakfast, there weren't many people at the scenic area, making for a better experience. 2. Lihu Lake Walk: Exit the south gate of the hotel, turn left, and follow the lakeside path. It's suitable for morning runs or post-meal walks, allowing you to experience the beauty of "the shimmering water is best on a sunny day." 6. Summary and Suggestions Advantages: - Excellent location, close to Taihu Lake and Yuantouzhu, convenient for cherry blossom viewing during the Qingming Festival; - Design combines Jiangnan gardens and modern aesthetics, with high-quality room hardware; - Outstanding dining, especially local specialties and lounge service; - Electric vehicle-friendly, with charging stations available at the hotel, offering slow charging, which I find very nice. Disadvantages: - Some facilities are slightly outdated (e.g., small pool, low-floor rooms are damp and stuffy); - Limited commercial facilities nearby, requiring taxis for shopping, but the distance is not far (to MixC); - Welcome fruits are no longer available, replaced with local snacks like small twists, which is not a good customer experience, although the lounge upstairs always has fruits and drinks available.

On the banks of Taihu Lake, the cherry blossoms fluttering on the corridors create an ultimate scenic beauty that makes one linger and forget to return 💕😍. 🎆 The ideal cherry blossom viewing route: 1⃣ Starting from the Chongshan Gate: Step through the hidden beauty of Chongshan, stroll through the Cherry Blossom Valley... visit the Jiangnan Orchid Garden, cross the Changchun Bridge, view the spring waves of Turtle Isle, admire the snow-like waves, and pay respects at the Guangfu Temple. 2⃣ Entering the park from the Dushan Gate: The view is all about Changchun Bridge-Cherry Blossom Valley (note the counterclockwise tour, some comments indicate that the Dushan Gate is now closed to the public). ❗ The scenic area opens at 8:00 every day, and whether you take a bus or a taxi, you will face traffic congestion. If you want to take pictures with fewer people, be sure to set off early 😉. 🎆 The cherry blossoms at night are even more unmissable! Starting at 17:00 every day, Turtle Head Isle Park will initiate a second ticket check system for entering the night cherry blossom area. LED lights shining on the cherry blossoms create a dazzling effect, casting a mysterious color in the darkness (hopefully the lights are not too purple, sometimes the lighting can be a bit gloomy) 💡. 🌸 If you have plenty of time, you can enjoy a full day in the park, and the night cherry blossom area is suitable for a detailed appreciation. Although there is a second ticket check, some visitors have reported that they were able to enjoy the night cherry blossom area without being checked again. If you only have the precious weekend, and don't want to spend too much time in the park, you can refer to our itinerary: Buy a night cherry blossom ticket on-site at 20:00 on Saturday evening, when most visitors are planning to leave, fewer people and you can enjoy the cherry blossoms (⚠ note that the lights in the park go out at 22:00). The next day, you can get up early again, buy a ticket and enter the park to enjoy the cherry blossoms. 📷 Photo tips: First, wearing light-colored clothing will make you stand out more 😉, and it would be even better if you could bring a small stool or ladder. Second, if there are too many tourists, you can ask a friend to squat down and shoot upwards, so that your photo with the cherry blossoms will have more visual impact 💮. 🈲 Please avoid using drones, as they are prohibited in the park and can easily get caught in the branches, so it's better to be cautious.

|Don't worry, the cherry blossoms in the Cherry Blossom Valley of Fox Tail Mountain have not yet bloomed. 🎉The Cherry Blossom Valley located on Fox Tail Mountain is considered a cherry blossom viewing sanctuary in Xiamen. Unfortunately, the cherry blossoms have not yet bloomed on the eve of the Spring Festival, and the dreamy scene of cherry blossoms all over the trees has not been experienced. 🌸Although there are no cherry blossoms, there are still gains at this time. Torch lotus, false horsewhip grass, and blue butterflies have all bloomed. The flowers are lush and the branches are beautiful and the leaves are green. The colorful sea of flowers is spectacular, and the wooden houses are also covered with firecracker flowers. The terraced romantic and beautiful scenery is an unexpected gain of this trip, super out of the picture📸. 👀It is estimated that in another month, the cherry blossoms will bloom, looking forward to it.
