Attractions in Wuxi

Taihu Lake
Taihu Lake is just like a bright pearl set in the Yangtze River delta. It crosses Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, where 48 islets of different sizes. 72 peaks and peninsulas along the lake combine to form a panorama of great natural beauty. The best place to view the beautiful Taihu Lake is on the Turtle Head Islet. Turtle Head Islet is an islet stretching into the lake, whose shape resembles the head of a turtle protruding from the water. Taihu Lake and the surrounding magnificence will bewitch your eyes when you climb onto Turtle Head.

Ling Shan Buddha
The Grand Buddha and the historical famous "Xiangfu Temple" nearby are the well-known scenic resorts in today's Wuxi. With more than 80 meter high, the Grand Buddha at Ling Shan is a bronze Sakyamuni standing Buddha outdoors built at the end of 1996. The Grand Buddha lies in the Small Ling Shan named by the famous Great Monk Xuanzang in Tang Dynasty. This is how the Grand Buddha in Ling Shan got its name.
