Day 1 Wuxi → Xijindu → Qishan → Wuxi
All day
Meet and sign in at 07:00 Wuxi Sanyang Square Subway Station Exit 11A (in front of Yunfu Building, Zhongshan Road), and board the bus on time for departure at 07:15.
The tour leader on the bus introduced the tourists to each other, explained the itinerary and played interactive games, and they laughed and chatted all the way to their destination.
Arrive at Xijindu around 10:30 AM. Xijindu Street is ancient and historic, yet simultaneously youthful and modern. Residents bask in the warm sunshine, immersed in memories of the past, and lead a leisurely life. We can stroll leisurely here, check in as needed, visit the Zhenjiang Museum, discover the legendary "Eighteen Scenic Spots of Xijin," and explore the "A Glimpse of a Thousand Years" ("A Glimpse of a Thousand Years" refers to a short section of road at Xijindu that existed throughout various Chinese dynasties, from the Three Kingdoms period to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It also represents the millennia of cultural accumulation at Xijindu, as if a single glance can reveal a thousand years).
Xijindu Food Restaurant highly recommends "Dishes of the Second Miss Zhou Family", "Wan Shunchang Champion Cake", and especially the traditional delicacy "Pot Cover Noodles", which is one of the "Three Wonders of Zhenjiang" and a must-try.
At 1:30 PM, we departed for Chui Mountain. After a warm-up, we followed the pre-built plank path up the mountain. As the saying goes, "A mountain's fame lies not in its height, but in the presence of immortals." While Chui Mountain may not be high, it holds a significant place in the hearts of Zhenjiang residents. It's home to numerous legends, and its towering beauty and boundless scenery have attracted poets and writers throughout the ages to ascend, admire the scenery, and compose poetry and express their feelings.
Mount Qishan has both the majesty of Mount Tai and the danger of Mount Hua. Tourists are welcome to climb as much as they want. We will decide where to descend from the mountain based on the time it takes for tourists to reach the summit.
At around 16:30, we ended the pleasant day and boarded the bus back to Wuxi.
Arrived in Wuxi around 18:30, kissed goodbye with tears, and saw you next time.
