I also paid the 40rmb for the hop in and off bus because the area is large and it was a boiling hot day so it was convenient and made the day more relaxing and pleasant. you can walk if you don’t fancy the bus the paths are beautiful and there are many shaded areas. there are many things to see; a Buddhism cultural museum; fantastic views and numerous places for food and drink. if you see the morning shows you’ll be pleased past various restaurants which are really expensive (500rmb a set meal). I’d skip those and head for some snacks in the downstairs lobby you’ll walk through before you can exit (includes drinks fruit ice cream etc) and wait till you get to the exit of the entire place as you’ll be forced through commercial city (like IKEA) until you can exit - but this place has many small food stalls that are cheap and cheerful with seating. I had special fried rice and passion fruit juice for 23rmb. you can easily spend a morning or an afternoon here. oh and one final thing - all the toilets were spotless and well stocked !"Highlights: The Lingshan Giant Buddha is located on Xiaoling Mountain on the edge of Taihu Lake in Wuxi.

"Shaoxing Ancienty City roughly corresponds to the Yuecheng district of the modern Shaoxing. The old and relatively preserved or restored parts of the city are actually scattered across the district, most notably the areas around bazi qiao and fushan although these are not the only old parts that survived. The fushan area is especially interesting because apart from old houses, cobbled streets and canals it also hosts the shaoxing museum as well as the "restored" palace of the kingdom of yue. I personnaly love the ba zi qiao(or bridge number eight area) because it manages to keep the slow pace and somewhat derelict, but quaint feeling of a place left behind in time even though it features a very famous bridge that attracts tourists."Highlights: The ancient city of Shaoxing is an ancient city with a lot of cultural heritage.
