This year, I went to Wuxi Huishan Ancient Town during the May Day holiday. I felt that it was a worthwhile trip. The scenery was very beautiful. There were too many people. There was no place to park around the ancient town. Self-driving friends should plan in advance. The whole ancient town was crowded. Otherwise, I will take a lot of photos to share with my friends!
Traveling with my grandfather to play, the elderly free tickets ~ The scenery is good, and my grandfather is very satisfied. There are springs and temples on the mountain, which is very good. I went a little bit to the courtyard next to the temple. There are hosts and monks who are busy, and the atmosphere of life is very full.
Huishan Ancient Town Humanities and natural scenery are integrated, many celebrities' former residences are a beautiful feng shui treasure! Jichang Garden is also in it, very shopping. I haven't been to the first spring in the world. I first saw the second spring in the world here. The spring water came out and was very energetic.
There is a commercial street at the entrance of the scenic spot. It is decorated in antique style. There are many snacks and shops. Don’t worry about eating and drinking here. Crossing the commercial street is the scenic spot. The scenic spot covers a small area. The scenic spot building is very simple. The pavilions in the park are very beautiful. There are many locals who come here to drink tea and set up a dragon gate, which is very suitable for leisure time. However, the fare is really a bit expensive. There is no discount for the elderly aged 60-69. It is free for more than 70. How many elderly people can come by themselves?
Wuxi's most worth visiting cultural monuments! Garden art, natural scenery and historical culture complement each other, making people linger! Take advantage of the off-season travel before the festival, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the cultural ancient city calmly. It is a worthwhile trip!
The ancient town does not need to buy tickets. The inside of the Changyuan Park needs to be entered with tickets. The Changyuan is a mountain villa-type Ming Dynasty garden. In a small range, various pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, halls and corridors, you can't go shopping. Feeling, you must do your homework before you go to see it happily.
I bought tickets to Huishan Ancient Town one day in advance (including Jichangyuan and Xihuiyuan), which can be discounted by five yuan compared to the day. I tasted Wuxi ribs like silver noodles and braised pork in Xinwanxin Yinsi Noodle Restaurant. The business was booming and the guests were waiting in line. On April 6, Xihuiyuan, only rhododendrons are on display, and Tokyo evening cherry is still swaying on the branches. The tomb of the blind man Aqi moved to Xihuiyuan. When some tourists hung Aqi, the mobile phone played "Erquan Yingyue". The ear was a melodious and mournful Erhu solo. Every note was full of reverence and remembrance for the old master.
