We went after the Spring Festival holiday, and the queues were still long, but much less crowded than during the holiday. The kids wanted to see the red-billed gulls, and after seeing the free ones, they wanted to go to Yuantouzhu (Yuantouzhu Scenic Area), which was spectacular, especially on the way back with the sunset – absolutely stunning. The island itself is also beautiful, with plenty of food and activities, but it was too cold in winter; it's much more beautiful during cherry blossom season. There's a parking lot at the entrance. The day before, because of the holiday, the queues were too long, so we decided against it. The next day, there were fewer cars, so we could drive in ourselves, which was very convenient.

Nianhua Town possesses an unexpected elegance. Rows of small buildings are arranged in a charming, staggered pattern, offering guesthouses, restaurants, fireworks displays, and light shows. Tourists stroll through the town with great interest, finding everything they need for food, lodging, and transportation. The aesthetics created by the architecture and Zen-like atmosphere add to the town's beauty.

This is just my personal opinion, for reference only. Please be gentle with your criticism. Lingshan Scenic Area in Wuxi is a treasure trove of cultural attractions that blends Zen philosophy with local culture. While the overall price is slightly high, the core attractions alone make it worth the ticket price. For transportation and parking, simply navigate to the Lingshan Scenic Area parking lot entrance. After entering, drive along the main road and park inside. This is the closest to the visitor center and makes entering the park convenient. Must-see attractions include: The dynamic performance of "Nine Dragons Bathing the Buddha" is breathtaking. The spring water rises and falls with the music, and the Buddha statue slowly rises, exuding solemnity and sanctity. The Brahma Palace is a highlight. Its interior is magnificent, with wood carvings and murals that are true artistic treasures. The "Auspicious Ode" performance uses light, shadow, song, and dance to interpret Zen philosophy—absolutely not to be missed. The Tibetan Culture Exhibition Hall is full of exotic charm, with unique architecture and exhibits that will impress you. The majestic Lingshan Buddha stands tall. Climb to the top, touch the Buddha's feet to pray for blessings, and then take a photo with the "Number One Palm in the World"—a fulfilling and ceremonial experience. Overall, the scenic area boasts a rich cultural heritage and numerous attractions, making it ideal for quiet contemplation and appreciating cultural charm.

By the end of November, the maple leaves were already turning red, and there were several stunning ginkgo trees. For someone from Guangzhou, the scenery was beautiful, and the 70 yuan entrance fee was well worth it.

Actually, it's just a part of Lihu Wetland Park, separated out, and costs 30 yuan to enter. It lacks the feel of a Jiangnan garden, mainly featuring the water scenery of Taihu Lake.

I went during the May Day holiday, and it was incredibly crowded, which greatly diminished my enjoyment of the trip. We didn't get to ride the mini-train or take the boats because of the long queues. The steps in the town are steep, so the elderly and children should be careful. The lakeside is lined with small bridges and covered walkways, a unique layout. There are also fireworks shows and concerts in the evening, which are worth a visit. However, I recommend going on a weekday.

I chose to take the cable car up the mountain and rely on my legs to go down. It was a bit tiring but ok, I could hold on. The Bamboo Sea and Mirror Lake are indeed very beautiful, but the ticket cost 70. To be honest, I didn't see anything special. The cable car fee is reasonable, and the ticket price should be reduced!

The Plum Garden at night is much more fun than the Plum Garden during the day. The performances are also good, and they are much better than expected. If there are activities and discounts on the tickets, it will be even more perfect. This one costs about 35 per person for 2 hours, which is a bit expensive.

Nanchang Street is a very long street. It seems to have been developed in at least three phases, stretching farther and farther away. Every city has this ancient street, with similar contents and similar goods. The main attraction is the scenery along the river. The CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage is carefully selected and meticulously crafted, and the scenery and lighting are magnificent. The main street is wide, while the side streets are narrow. There are many open-air cafes and teahouses along the river, which are mosquito-infested.
