Besties! I'd be genuinely sad if you haven't visited Wuxi yet ๐ญ! Just returned from this small Jiangnan city and compiled a super comprehensive guide ๐ covering food, drinks, and entertainment - follow this to unlock Wuxi's hidden experiences!!
๐๏ธ Must-visit spots
๐ท Lake Li Park: The lake views here are incredible! Vast lawns alongside the sparkling water ๐, just sitting by the lake is therapeutic. Rent a tandem bicycle ๐ฒ to ride around the lake, chat with friends while cycling - the breeze feels like freedom! There's also a dreamy Ferris wheel ๐ก that looks absolutely stunning when lit up at night!
๐ฎ Qingming Bridge Historic District: A hidden gem along the ancient canal! White walls and dark-tiled buildings decorated with red lanterns ๐ฎ, like stepping back in time! You must experience a sculling boat ๐ถ ride, listen to the boatwoman leisurely singing Jiangnan folk songs while the night scenery reflects on the water - every photo captures the perfect ambiance ๐ธ!
๐ข Sunac Cultural Tourism City: A must for thrill-seekers! Roller coasters ๐ข, carousels ๐ , giant swings... they have both exciting and gentle rides! In summer, there's a water park ๐ where you can have water fights with friends. When tired, head to Sunac Mall for shopping and dining - maximum fun in one place!
๐ Wuxi on your taste buds
๐ฅ Wuxi soup dumplings: Burst with juice when you bite them! Sweet meat filling wrapped in skin so thin it's translucent - impossible to stop at just one ๐!
๐ Wuxi sweet soy sauce spare ribs: Tender meat full of flavor, rich and sweet sauce - you'll want to suck every bone clean!
๐ฅ Plum blossom cake: Crispy outside, chewy inside, topped with nuts - best eaten warm for that sweet taste. Street vendors sell the most authentic ones!
๐ก Tips to avoid pitfalls
โ Many "specialty souvenirs" sold around tourist areas are wholesale items with inflated prices - don't impulse buy!
โ
Lake Li Park is huge, wear comfortable shoes ๐ or your feet will hurt so much you'll cry!
โ Sunac Cultural Tourism City gets extremely crowded on weekends. For popular attractions, arrive early to queue or visit during off-peak hours.
โ
Qingming Bridge looks beautiful at night, but the stone paths by the river are slippery - watch your step!
Save this guide, besties ๐, and invite your friends to experience the romance of Jiangnan in Wuxi! ๐ฅณ
