LOCAL CUISINES OF WUXI

Far removed from the big, butch, spicy dishes of Sichuan or Dongbei, Wuxi cuisine is petit and sweet. Iced fish, shrimp and crab are local specialties. Wuxi dim sums are a must-try, especially the "three-fresh" wonton (Sanxian huntun), dumplings (Xiaolong bao), square cakes (Fang gao), sugary taro (Tang yutou), glutinous rice dumplings (Tangyuan) and turnip slice paste patties (Luobosi bing).

A good selection of restaurants lies near the Railway Station. Zhongguo Restaurant at No.90, Hangcang Lu offers decent local flavors as well as a good atmosphere. Jiannan Restaurant at 61, Tongyuan Lu, Wangxingji Dumpling Restaurant at No.391, Zhongshan Lu and Wuxi Roast Duck Restaurant at No.222, Zhongshan Lu are among the best of the rest. There are also decent restaurants in some of the hotels including the Huating Grand and the Sheraton.
