| Wuxi Travel Attraction |
| Li Garden |
| Formerly Fanli's residence and back garden, Li Garden (Li yuan) is set in front of the Hubin Hotel, on the shore of Taihu Lake. The garden is actually a spread of artificial bridges and pagodas dotted around small fishponds. |
| Lingshan Buddha |
| 25 kilometres from the city's downtown area, the Lingshan Sakyamuni Buddha (Lingshan dafo) stands solemnly at the site of famous Tang Dynasty Xiangfu Temple, which was ruined after a series of ancient wars. The bronze icon is 250 feet long, 100 feet higher than the Statue of Liberty. |
| Plum Garden |
| Backing on to the Dragon Hill 7 kilometres west of Wuxi, the Plum Garden (Meiyuan) is most famous for the thousands of red plum trees and flowers planted there. The garden used to be part of a small private residence during the Qing Dynasty |
| Turtle Head Isle |
| 18 kilometres southwest of Wuxi, Turtle Head Isle (Yuantouzhu) is the city's most attractive park. It is actually not an isle at all but a peninsular shaped, unsurprisingly, like the head of a turtle. A small lighthouse stands at the western tip of the park. |
| Xihui Park |
| Covering an area of 45 square kilometres, the Xihui Park (Xihui gongyuan) is set on the western edge of Wuxi between Xi Shan and Hui Shan. The park is most famous for its artificial lake surrounded by paved paths and the seven-story Dragon Light Pagoda (Longguang ta) on the top of Xi Shan. |
