1 day strolling in Wuxi

Wuxi in a day? Yes, you really can dive into history, shop like a local, and eat till you drop—all in just 12 hours! 🏯✨ The best moments: ancient streets at sunrise, temple markets, and riverside bites after dark.

Here’s the ultimate Wuxi itinerary for max vibes and zero stress:

09:00 ｜Start at Huishan Ancient Town (Guhuashan Road, Beitang District). Get there early to soak up quiet lanes and centuries-old architecture before the crowds. Admission is 58 RMB, and weekdays are a bit calmer. The area is open from 8:00-17:00 (closes 17:30 on weekends, last entry 16:30/17:00). Cash or WeChat Pay works at the entrance.

13:00 ｜Shift gears to Chong’an Temple Walking Street (Intersection of Xinsheng Rd & Renmin Middle Rd). This open-all-day area is a fusion of old temple vibes and modern shops. Pro tip: Try the street snacks around Zhongshan Road—crispy scallion pancakes and local baos are my top pick! 🛍️

18:00 ｜Wind down at Nanchang Street (No. 60 Taihu Avenue), a pedestrian paradise by the canal, lit up at night and buzzing with food stalls. Go for the local BBQ or braised duck noodle spots along the water—a must-eat scene for real Wuxi flavor. 🌃🍜

Travel smart:
• Use Wuxi Metro (Line 1 & 2) or Didi for smooth transfers; all these spots are metro-accessible and city taxis are quick.
• Most shops and eateries accept phone payment—bring Alipay/WeChat Pay.
• Autumn brings mild evenings—pack a light jacket!
