The Yuantouzhu International Cherry Blossom Festival is held from mid-March to early May every year. We recommend going to the Cherry Blossom Valley, Chongshan Yinxiu, and Changchun Bridge for an outing and cherry blossom viewing.
You can visit the gardens, go boating on Taihu Lake, appreciate the cherry blossoms, and experience the artistic conception of "the most beautiful place in Taihu Lake is Yuantouzhu after all" as praised by Guo Moruo.
Yuantouzhu is a peninsula in the northern part of Taihu Lake. It is named after its shape resembling a floating turtle with its head raised. It is known as the "No. 1 scenic spot in Taihu Lake".

2019-4-10 Wuxi trip
Wuxi Yuantouzhu Tourist Scenic Area AAAAA
I have a particularly bad impression of Yuantouzhu Scenic Area
The main reason is that I met some Swedish aunts and uncles
While waiting in line for a boat trip on Lake Tai
These uncles and aunts, whether they are white-haired or middle-aged
They don't understand what is public morality, self-cultivation, quality, or personality.
They don't care about others. As long as they buy a ticket and come in, they can do whatever they want without considering other people's feelings.
They were making loud noises, they were taking photos together, they were shouting and clamoring, they were foaming at the mouth, like animals that had never seen the world.
They don't know how to line up, and the railings are useless to them.
They shamelessly push you aside and squeeze right in
They have genitals in their mouths, as if they are inside their mouths.
I lost interest when I saw them.
Standing with them is simply an insult to one's character.
So I can only avoid it.
I won't join in the fun anymore.
Note:
It is recommended that independent travelers go to Yuantouzhu and sign up for a one-day tour group
No additional consumption
Take the bus from the designated location to Yuantouzhu Liyuan, where you will stop for one stop
At about nine o'clock, the tour guide bought tickets to enter the park
There is a free bus ahead.
First, take a boat to Taihu Fairy Island
The left side of the boat seat leads to the best spot of Taihu Lake
In fact, there are several small attractions ahead of this scenic spot.
But I thought there was no way out, so I turned back.
There is another gate in the scenic area that requires ticket inspection.
Take the shuttle bus to the main gate
The cherry blossoms were all withered that day.
So there is no view.
A dull scenic spot
The scenic area is not too large
If you play all of them, it will take about three to four hours.
Mainly because the waiting time for the boat is quite long
If you don't take a boat, it will be quick. Taking a boat is actually quite boring.
We only had one week to view the cherry blossoms in Tokyo, and we went on April 6th, which was a bit late.
The cherry blossoms in Tokyo are almost all gone, and you can no longer see the snow-like crowns of flowers below from the cherry blossom viewing pavilion.
There are still some flowers left on Changchun Bridge.
After Qingming Festival, there will be absolutely no Tokyo cherry blossoms left, and only late cherry blossoms can be seen.
Late cherry blossoms do not have the snow-like corollas of Tokyo cherry blossoms because they are generally shorter.
You must visit Changchun Bridge, it is a beautiful place to take photos, and then you can walk around the island. There is a beautifully built small bridge by the lake.
There are many snack vendors outside the scenic area, and there is garbage everywhere!
The cherry blossoms in Yuantouzhu in late March were not as lush as I imagined. It was probably a little early. When I went there, I caught up with the showers. There is a snack street in the scenic area where you can eat in the rain, but I don’t recommend buying too much food, especially the fried ham-wrapped sticks, which were not cooked inside and sold. Although it is not a holiday, there are still many tourists, and my photos have not been photoshopped. You can see the real color of the cherry blossoms, but the cherry blossom season is only more than half a month. Since you have caught up, it is worth appreciating. After all, this scale of cherry blossom viewing is also the best in China. The big ticket also includes unlimited free bus round trips, which can save you a lot of walking, and take a boat to the island. In addition to the beautiful scenery, there are also small animal circuses, monkeys, dogs and parrots on the island. It’s still a good performance. At the end of the performance, there is a link where you can take RMB (more than ten yuan in face value) and the trainer will let the bird fly to your hand to pick it up. You can take the opportunity to take pictures. 😏. Overall, this attraction is worth visiting for its uniqueness (cherry blossom viewing). This year, the daytime and nighttime tickets are separate. This means that the area will be cleared during the day, and if you want to see the night view (cherry blossoms and lights) at night, you have to buy a nighttime ticket. (But I suspect that since the scenic area is so large, there will definitely be tourists who cannot leave and cannot be cleared. The official announcement of the clearing was made over the phone.)
I took a taxi there in the morning and entered at around 7 o'clock. It was very convenient to scan my ID card. I bought a 50 yuan electric car ticket. There was almost no one at Luding Yinghui... Then I went to Xiandao, there were a lot of people. I took a 30 yuan speedboat to avoid the crowds. There were not many people at Changchun Bridge in the morning, so there was no pressure to take pictures... Anyway, there were many tour groups and students on spring outings, and the Sakura Valley was crowded... Overall, it was acceptable if it was not a weekend... It is recommended to go early to avoid the peak of the crowd, and you will enjoy a more comfortable scenery...
刚从无锡鼋头渚赏樱回来,除了樱花树龄比较长外,别的与想象中的差距太大,感觉名不副实。更别提还碰到了宰人的出租车司机,不但价格贵了一倍,还把我们放在半路,让我们拖着沉重的行李在人生地不熟的鼋头渚走了半天才到目的地。我们住的是太工疗养院,高铁下来坐的正规出租车,报了目的地后司机开了导航,所以我们自己就没开导航。路上我们还说起住的地方过去应该不堵车,风景区正门充山大门比较堵,司机说他开的路有一点点堵,我们以为是旺季应该也正常。半路上司机说太堵了让我们下车走过去,我们看他指的地方感觉太远了,就没下车。到了门口不让进,而据我们所查应该是可以直接到疗养院的。门口的保安我们多问两句就不耐烦,说不是走这条路,赶紧走开,我们问该走哪条路,他说问司机司机知道,也不和我们说这里是哪里,应该走哪里。还有司机和我们在一起他知道还会往这里开?而司机说看见了吧,他们不让进,旁边的那条路拦住了开不进去,要走过去。后来我们才发现那条交通管制的路是十里芳径,而司机把我们扔在充山大门门口。不是我们太大意,而这几年到处自助游下来没碰到过宰人事件,没想到在我们江浙沪地区碰到了。在车上看见路边都是垃圾,各种脏兮兮的摊位乱摆。而在樱花谷景区,看见只要车开得进的地方都停满了车,好好的风景被违章停车破坏了,不知道在无锡这算不算违章。在景区我们想要张地图,到了问询处问,让我们去游客服务中心去拿,也不和我们说哪里,最后还是靠的手机导航。我们虽然来自一个小镇上,可以算是乡下,可我们路边就算是一辆自行车停在停车线外,也会有工作人员把它移到停车位上,更不用说汽车了。最后说一下,百度地图智行上的出租车,快车等的费用都是对的,超过这个价格太多,就是被坑啦。上个图,樱花还是美的。
原计划2点到鼋头渚赏樱,但3.23当天有夜樱和烟火,火车站虽然有直达的公交,但是人太多,路上堵到三点半才到达,很多景点都没有去,主要就看了樱花谷和码头的夜樱。
说是樱花节,伴随樱花盛开的还有数不清的各种花朵。穿着汉服的小哥哥小姐姐,coser在花海中集聚,给花海增添许多风趣。北方的孩子第一次见到这么美的江南的春天,心里抑制不住的激动。虽然人流密密麻麻,但是风景仍然很美丽。
一想到春天,便会想起百花齐放,芳草茵茵,碧水云天……好像一切美好的事物都被这短短的春天拥有。春天走进无锡鼋头渚,不只是有万千樱花可赏,还有那些知名或不知名的花朵,这时也开始苏醒,开始蓬勃。万紫千红才是春,春天就该是如小儿般喧闹着,繁华着。

Yuantouzhu is a peninsula lying on the northwest bank of Taihu Lake in Wuxi. It is named after the huge rocks protruding into the lake, which look like a tortoise with its head raised. There are many scenic spots in Yuantouzhu, such as Chongshan Yinxiu, Luding Yinghui, Yuanzhu Chuntao, Hengyun Villa, Guangfu Temple, Taihu Fairy Island, Jiangnan Orchid Garden, and Sino-Japanese Cherry Blossom Friendship Forest, each with its own unique features. It is also great to see cherry blossoms in March and April.
Wuxi Yuantouzhu is known as a popular cherry blossom viewing spot in China and one of the three major cherry blossom viewing spots in the world. It has early cherry blossoms, pink cherry blossoms and late cherry blossoms, with a planting area of over 650,000 square meters, a total of more than 30,000 trees, and more than 100 varieties, such as Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms, Atami early cherry blossoms, Ichihara tiger cherry blossoms, Yongyuanji, chrysanthemum cherry blossoms, Matsuzuki cherry blossoms, Guanshan cherry blossoms, Goi yellow cherry blossoms, Oshima cherry blossoms, Okan cherry blossoms, and weeping cherry blossoms.
Came here on March 13, 2019.
Yuantouzhu is a landmark scenic spot in Wuxi, especially when the Lingshan Giant Buddha and Nianhua Bay were not open yet, it was definitely the number one scenic spot in Wuxi.
This time I came here just in time for the Cherry Blossom Festival, mainly for outing and flower viewing. Maybe it's still early spring, many trees in the scenic area haven't grown leaves yet, so it doesn't look that green, I suggest you come back a few weeks later.
The entrance fee to the scenic spot is 90 yuan, half price for people over 60 years old, and free for people from Jiangsu. The scenic spot is very large, so you can consider taking the scenic spot's battery car, which costs 50 yuan per person. Spend a little money and save time and energy.
Yuantouzhu is the most scenic spot in Wuxi, located in the southwest of the city. It was originally a peninsula in Taihu Lake. Due to its superior natural conditions, it has attracted many literati and scholars throughout the dynasties, and many temples and gardens have been built around it. It takes at least a whole day to visit here. Places like Taihu Fairy Island, Hengyun Villa, Guangfu Temple, etc. are all worth a careful visit. The Cherry Blossom Festival from March to May every year is even more crowded and lively.
It is a peninsula lying on the northwest bank of Taihu Lake in Wuxi. It is named after the huge rocks protruding into the lake, which look like a tortoise with its head raised. Yuantouzhu was built in 1916 and now covers an area of 539 hectares. Yuantouzhu has many scenic spots, including Chongshan Yinxiu, Luding Yinghui, Yuanzhu Chuntao, Hengyun Villa, Guangfu Temple, Taihu Fairy Island, Jiangnan Orchid Garden, and Sino-Japanese Cherry Blossom Friendship Forest, each with its own style. Yuantouzhu occupies the most beautiful corner of Taihu Lake. Looking south, Taihu Lake has the style of Qingdao Seaside; looking north, Taihu Lake has the beautiful scenery of West Lake in Hangzhou.
To put it simply, Yuantouzhu is a big park. You can drive directly to the parking lot very close to the pier. Don't park at the scenic area parking lot indicated by the navigation, otherwise you will need to pay to take an electric car to the mountaintop tower and the pier. The scenic area ticket includes the boat ticket to the island. It is actually a very boring check-in attraction. Guangfu Temple vegetarian noodles are an exception, which are really delicious. There are also many flower gardens and other attractions in the Yuantouzhu Scenic Area. It is worth spending a day there. You will definitely regret going to the island as there is no beautiful scenery.
Yuantouzhu is a peninsula beside Taihu Lake. It is named because of the huge rocks protruding into the lake, which look like a tortoise with its head raised. There are public transportation in the scenic area. One is a free bus that stops at Hengyun Villa. The other is a sightseeing bus (50 yuan/person), which stops at two scenic spots. The first scenic spot is called Luding Yinghui. You can overlook the entire Taihu Lake and Wuxi when you climb to the top. It is very beautiful, but climbing the hill is not very tiring. It is more interesting than Taihu Fairy Island. It takes a long time to wait for the boat on Fairy Island, and then you can see the natural scenery after you get on the island. The second scenic spot is Hengyun Villa, which has famous scenic spots such as Changchunhuayi, Yuanzhu Chuntao, and Wuyue.
Yuantouzhu is a peninsula lying on the northwest shore of Taihu Lake in Wuxi. It is named after the huge rocks protruding into the lake, which look like a tortoise with its head raised. Yuantouzhu was built in 1916 and now covers an area of 539 hectares. On October 26, 2012, Yuantouzhu was promoted to a national 5A-level scenic spot.
Yuantouzhu has many scenic spots with their own unique features, including the Hidden Beauty of Chongshan, the Sunlight Greeting at Luding, the Spring Waves of Yuanzhu, the Hengyun Villa, the Guangfu Temple, the Fairy Island of Taihu Lake, the Orchid Garden of Jiangnan, and the Sino-Japanese Cherry Blossom Friendship Forest. Taihu Yuantouzhu Scenic Area has become a tourist resort.
Suddenly I realized that I didn't need to go to Japan, the cherry blossom paradise is actually right next to me. Perhaps many people first heard of Wuxi because of the cherry blossoms in Yuantouzhu. The cherry blossoms in Yuantouzhu, Taihu Lake in Wuxi, along with the Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Garden in Japan and the Washington Cherry Blossom Garden in the United States, are recognized as the three major cherry blossom viewing sites in the world. This gave me the idea of visiting Wuxi. Yuantouzhu [yuán tóu zhǔ] is a peninsula located on the northwest shore of Taihu Lake in Wuxi, and "Zhu" means a peninsula in the water. "Yuantou" is a mythical beast in traditional Chinese culture, named after the huge rock protruding into the lake, which looks like a tortoise with its head raised.
It was already past 2pm when I arrived, so I bought a ticket online. Before entering, I asked the ticket inspector and she said I could go in at any time. It sounded good, so I went in to enjoy the scenery without thinking twice.
After entering, I was confused. It was too big and I didn't know how to move. I didn't waste time and just pointed to a random road and drove away.
After walking around, I found a bus that I could take. With my ticket, I could go directly to the pier (to Taihu Fairy Island) for free. I got on the bus directly. Since there were not many people in the off-season, I could choose any seat on the bus. After getting off the bus, walk to the left to reach the boat pier.
At night, I finally understood why the ticket inspector said I could go out anytime I wanted, because there were no street lights in the scenic area to illuminate the road at night. At this time, I could only open Baidu Maps and use the flashlight on my phone. It took me more than half an hour to reach the exit. I really have to give a bad review for this. I can only blame myself for not going home after dark. If any friends want to go to Yuantouzhu, I hope you spend a day there, because I didn't make a guide this time, so I was screwed by myself. Remember this lesson.
In early winter, the vegetation at Yuantouzhu is no longer lush, but the scenery is still charming. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles softly on the lake. Boating on the lake stirs up waves of water, attracting seagulls to follow. Looking into the distance, the treasure temple on the island is looming in the vast sea. Although there are gusts of cool breeze, it still does not dissipate the warmth. It can be said that "the best place in Taihu Lake is Yuantou after all"!
We boarded a boat from the pier to the fairy island and looked out over the lake at a scene that looked like something from The Langya Bang.
After sunset, the sky was filled with sunset glow and most of the tourists had left. It felt really good to walk around the scenic area accompanied by the quaint music.
We came across the sacred turtle and saw the staff cleaning up the coins thrown by tourists.
Some people always say that the spring in Yuantouzhu is the most beautiful, with pink cherry blossoms in full bloom, making it as romantic as being in Kyoto. But the autumn scenery we saw is no less beautiful.
Yuantouzhu is a peninsula lying on the northwest bank of Taihu Lake in Wuxi. It is named after the huge rocks protruding into the lake, which look like a tortoise with its head raised. It is a national 5A-level scenic spot. Yuantouzhu was built in 1916 and now covers an area of 539 hectares. Yuantouzhu has many landscapes with their own unique features, including Chongshan Yinxiu, Luding Yinghui, Yuanzhu Chuntao, Hengyun Villa, Guangfu Temple, Taihu Fairy Island, Jiangnan Orchid Garden, and Sino-Japanese Cherry Blossom Friendship Forest. The scenic spot has become a tourist resort.
The scenery is great. In fact, I would recommend finding a nearby hotel to stay in and riding a bicycle early in the morning. The scenery and air along the way are great! There are a few pitfalls, reminding the bee friends behind to pay attention: 1. There is a paid sightseeing bus at the door, but in fact, there is a free bus to take you to the core scenic area 500 meters ahead. I personally think it is unnecessary to take the sightseeing bus, and I personally think that the scenic area is suspected of inducing tourists to consume. 2. You can take a cruise to the island in the center of the lake, but if you don’t have enough time, there is no need to go to this island. The scenery is average, and you should give priority to visiting along the lake. 3. The scenic area is very, very large, and it takes a lot of time to visit. Be sure to prepare a whole day to play, wear good sports shoes, loose clothes, and your legs will be very tired after walking down... But the scenery is really great! 4. Bring your own food and drinks. The prices in the scenic area are very pitfalls. A bottle of mineral water is 5 yuan, Master Kong iced black tea is 6 yuan, and a few buns are 15 yuan, and they are not delicious! Generally speaking, although there are shortcomings, considering the excellent scenery, it is still a must-see attraction!
Yuantouzhu is really beautiful on the shore of Taihu Lake! The vast lake is sparkling, and the green mountains are accompanied by green shadows. Here, there is not only the magnificent beauty of nature, but also the gentleness and elegance unique to the south of the Yangtze River. Even without the blooming cherry blossoms, the touch of green also outlines the unique charm of Taihu Lake, which is fascinating.
Although Yuantouzhu is a modern park, the combination of the natural landscape of Taihu Lake and the rich cultural landscape has created a unique charm for Yuantouzhu that is different from other places. In particular, the cherry blossom culture in the past few decades has made it famous and has become a world cherry blossom viewing destination, attracting tourists from all over the country and the world. As a native of Wuxi, I have had an indissoluble bond with Yuantouzhu since I was a child. For us, it has added more connotations.
Yuantouzhu Scenic Area has a large area and many scenic spots. Its unique scenery of not high but elegant mountains and not deep but vast waters makes people linger. I visited for more than 7 hours, and there are still some highlights that I haven't visited. It seems that it will take a whole day to fully visit Yuantouzhu.
As one of the "three major cherry blossom viewing spots in the world", Wuxi Yuantouzhu Cherry Blossom Valley has more than 30,000 cherry trees of 100 varieties. During the Cherry Blossom Festival, the cherry blossoms are like clouds and clouds, full of trees, and the spring breeze blows gently, and the falling cherry blossoms are flying, which is beautiful. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, there is no need to go to Japan, the cherry blossom paradise is actually right next to you. Among them, the best time to see is the Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms in full bloom. From full bloom to the blowing snow stage, it only takes about a week, and the official night cherry blossoms are also held during this stage.
A great place to go in spring. In addition to the natural scenery, there is also a cherry blossom forest, which is suitable for taking photos! There are many great small attractions, and I also saw many young people taking wedding photos!
Yuantouzhu Scenic Area is a peninsula in Wuxi on the northwest bank of Taihu Lake. It is surrounded by water on three sides and consists of Baojie Mountain, Luding Mountain, Nandu Mountain and its nearby Zhongdu Mountain and Sanshan Island. Its shape is like a floating turtle with its head raised.
Yuanzhu Chuntao
Pavilions and terraces appear and disappear in the mountains and forests, and a lighthouse stands tall on the lakeside; islands can be seen rising and falling in the distance, and waves can be heard crashing against the shore nearby.
Numerous scenic spots line the lakeshore, showing the accumulation of historical events everywhere. This is the essence of Yuantouzhu. The main attractions include the lighthouse, the "Yuantouzhu" stone tablet, the "Hengyun" cliff carving, the "Zhenze God Turtle" bronze statue, Chenglan Hall, Feiyun Pavilion, etc. [7]
Fairy Island of Taihu Lake
Formerly known as Sanshan Island, it is located in the lake 2.6 kilometers southwest of Yuantouzhu.
It is known as "Three Mountains Reflecting the Green". There are Sanshan Taoist Temples on the island, including Huixian Bridge, Tianjie, Lingxiao Palace, Tiandu Xianfu, Yue Lao Temple, Dajue Bay and other buildings. The jade buildings are full of ancient music, the interior decoration is magnificent and magnificent, and the statues are vivid. Among them, the statue of the Jade Emperor is 18 meters high, which is rare in China.
I highly recommend you to go and see it when you have time. It is very interesting, especially on rainy days. The misty and beautiful scenery of Jiangnan is even more interesting.
Be sure to go early, you don't have to queue up for the free boat. You have to climb a small hill to get to the scenic spot. I only went to Guangfu Temple. The Luohan noodles were delicious. I didn't see the Yinhe Falls or the Sakura Post Office. I only saw the Yue Lao Temple.
The most romantic riverbank: Changchun Cherry Blossom Bank; the most beautiful Taihu Lake: Cherry Blossoms in Taihu Lake
In addition to Taihu Lake, there are mountains, lakes, gardens, and cherry blossoms. Very good
Taihu Lake is much bigger than I thought, and the scenery is also beautiful.
Yuantouzhu is a peninsula lying on the northwest shore of Taihu Lake in Wuxi. It got its name because of the huge rocks protruding into the lake, which look like a divine turtle with its head raised.
The tickets are too expensive and take up the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake.
What a beautiful view of Taihu Lake, what a scenic spot
It's a pity that the cherry blossoms were out of season when I went there. I look forward to the next cherry blossom season.
It was hard walking in the rain on Taihu Lake, but the scenery was great. Guangfu Temple in the mountains, with mushrooms and bamboo shoots, was unforgettable.
The sunshine made me feel the beauty of Taihu Lake. It was the first time I saw the sparkling water, which was dazzling like gold. The Taihu Lake was vast under the sunset.
Wuxi 5A-level scenic spot, I think if it is your first time to Wuxi, this is the place you must visit.
A must-see attraction in Wuxi. Of course, it is best to visit it in spring when the flowers are blooming, but winter is also very interesting.
In fact, the reputation is greater than the scenery. You need to take a boat to visit several islands, and there are many people. The scenery is OK during the blooming season
The Taihu Lake is really beautiful!
The environment is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the sea breeze blowing on the bow is very comfortable
It's nice to walk along the Taihu Lake and enjoy the breeze, but it's a bit far to get to the top of the mountain by car. I went down the mountain halfway, and there was nothing fun to do. It was past the time to see the cherry blossoms.
Wuxi Yuantouzhu
The place where I held hands with Mr. Zhao eleven years ago.
It turns out that the cherry blossom season here is so beautiful~
There is no boat to enter, the boat costs 50, it is recommended to prepare a day to play, there are buses inside, but it is definitely not as good as strolling around to see the scenery by yourself. The scenery is quite good. I am not cultured, so I can only give a simple story. The ticket is 90, it is recommended to go and have a look. It will be a bit tiring if you bring children, it is too big!
Yuantouzhu is worth a visit during the cherry blossom season~
It was not in full bloom when we arrived, but it was still beautiful.
The cherry blossoms are mainly concentrated in the Cherry Blossom Valley and Changchun Bridge. The cherry blossoms on the waterfront of Changchun Bridge are very beautiful.
In addition, there are a lot of tourists, so be mentally prepared~
This is a place with great scenery on Taihu Lake, especially the flocks of seagulls on the boat to the island. It is worth a visit. It just started to rain in the second half when I went there, but the scenery is still beautiful!
I went there during the Qingming Festival holiday. At first I was worried that the cherry blossoms would be over, but fortunately there were still some late and early cherry blossoms. The ticket was not expensive, and it also included a round-trip boat ride. It was very big inside and took a whole day to visit. The Cherry Blossom Pavilion must be visited. It was nice to go to Taihu Lake at night to see the night cherry blossoms.
Except for the crowds T﹏T, everything was perfect.
A quick weekend trip, the weather was good, I will go again
Yuantouzhu is a peninsula in the northern part of Taihu Lake, named after its shape resembling a floating turtle with its head tilted up. Here you can visit a large garden complex, take a boat to feel the vastness of Taihu Lake, climb Taihu Fairy Island to explore the secrets, or come here in spring to enjoy the cherry blossoms and experience the artistic conception of "Taihu Lake is the best place, after all, Yuantouzhu"
A group of beautiful ladies came to the Sakura Valley, which was very suitable for the occasion. Everyone was dressed so beautifully, quietly telling the romantic past
Will come back next year, great place! It's beautiful without filters!
Sakura Blizzard is indeed worthy of its reputation, but there are too many people~~
Daytime🌸Night🌸 White and tender, tender and juicy
When I walked to the Sakura Valley, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my god! It's so beautiful!!!"
After all, the most beautiful part of Taihu Lake is Yuantou; it’s worth the trip during the cherry blossom season!
On March 26, we visited Yuantouzhu Cherry Blossom Valley. The temperature and sunshine were just right, and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, which was beautiful. I will come again next year!
This is a scene where countless water birds fly up and down, forcing
The best place in Taihu Lake is Yuantou after all
The sunset on Taihu Fairy Island is so beautiful
I went there today. Only the cherry blossoms in Sakura Valley were in bloom, and few others were. The cherry blossom viewing tower and Changchun Bridge were closed, which was the worst. I went there just for these two. I suggest you wait another 7-10 days, and it should be much better. The last two pictures are the original pictures
I enjoyed a wave of early cherry blossoms (゚Д゚)ノ, and the VIP group that entered the park early on China-TravelNote was also great~
We went there a week late, so the cherry blossoms had already fallen. It would have been beautiful if we had gone there in time, but there were just too many people!
Yuantouzhu is said to be the scenic spot with the best scenery in Taihu Lake. However, it rained on the day we went there. The rain was not small and it kept raining. We couldn't see the beauty at all. And we hardly took any photos. The viewing effect of the scenery is really directly related to the weather.
The scenery is okay, there are many cherry blossoms, but the service is profit-driven and the management is a mess. The more economically developed a place is, the more the so-called tourist attractions become a cash cow for the locals.
The most beautiful part of Taihu Lake is Yuantou. I went there last year and saw some early cherry blossoms.
Yuantouzhu has natural scenery. It should be very beautiful if you go there during the cherry blossom season. It is very big and you can spend a long time there. There are boats to the island, and seagulls will follow the tourists who feed them, which is very cute.
The view is OK, but the local "famous snacks" in the restaurant are really unpalatable
Yuantouzhu is a peninsula lying on the northwest shore of Taihu Lake in Wuxi. It is named after the huge rocks protruding into the lake, which look like a tortoise with its head raised. Yuantouzhu was built in 1916 and now covers an area of 539 hectares. On October 26, 2012, Yuantouzhu was promoted to a national 5A-level scenic spot.
Wuxi Yuantouzhu has beautiful scenery and is suitable for a leisurely tour.
The red-billed gulls at Yuantouzhu are not afraid of people at all. A group of children are having fun feeding them on the plywood. It is recommended for parent-child travel!
You must visit Yuantouzhu when you come to Wuxi. The scenery of Yuantouzhu is the essence of Taihu Lake scenery and is known as the "first scenic spot in Taihu Lake".
I accidentally chose to go on a typhoon day, and almost didn't get to the small island in the middle. It took me half a day to go around it.
Yuantouzhu in Taihu Lake is a large scenic area with many attractions.
The first time you come into contact with it, you may feel like you have no idea where to start, but don't worry.
If you are not familiar with Yuantouzhu and don’t know how to plan a tour route, you can go to the official website first and follow the little turtle to experience "virtual tourism", which will give you a sneak peek and a glimpse of the major and minor attractions in Yuantouzhu.

The most beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake is Yuantou, where the beautiful scenery is like dancing cherry blossoms.
The early cherry blossoms are falling and collecting their powdery white, while the late cherry blossoms are dressed up in full glory like clouds and mist.
Cherry blossom rain, cherry blossom language,
Just half a month,
Show your dreamy beauty to the world~
Just fall,
Let your pure flower language penetrate into our hearts~
Your beauty does not need to be publicized, and it is never arrogant.
Cherry blossom petals fall on shoulders and climb into hair.
Like an invitation from Sakura, she whispered in my ear:
Will you come next year...(✿◡‿◡)
