Hi~ I'm Mao Mao Mao,
One must visit Turtle Head Isle at least once in autumn or winter,
This seriously underestimated treasure,
In spring, there's the romantic cherry blossom season,
And a stunning fireworks show during the Mid-Autumn Festival,
It's a place you'll fall in love with every time you visit.
And in winter, you don't need to leave Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai to go to Dali,
You can also experience the same romantic seagull scenes in Wuxi.
I'm really envious of the people in Wuxi.
The encounter between the sunset orange sea and the seagulls,
This incredibly beautiful healing scenery can make you cry with romance!

🌊Red-billed gull photo guide:
1⃣Recommended time slot
If you want to take pictures of the healing blue sea, it's recommended to come early, the air is clear and you can capture the feeling of the sea.
If you want to take pictures of the sunset and seagulls, it's recommended to take a boat after 3 o'clock, and if you take the last boat around 4:20, you can see the sunset and seagulls in the same frame.
.
2⃣Photography advice
If you want to take pictures with the seagulls on the boat, you can go to the stern, where there are more seagulls, you can throw some small bread 🍞 into the air to get closer. There's also a hidden spot, the cabin is less crowded and sitting by the window to take pictures gives a cinematic feel, easy to get good shots.

Fishing boats singing in the evening. At the end of spring, in Yuantouzhu, Taihu Lake, Wuxi, the fishing boats anchored on the lake stopped in the glow of the sunset, with their sails folded and their anchors secured. In this tranquil scene, the beautiful scenery of the whole day is coming to an end. If you also travel to Yuantouzhu of Taihu Lake, be sure to capture the scene of fishing boats singing in the evening in your photo album.
It located in Taihu lake. Up to you that uisng battery car inside or not. A bit crowded in weekend. I went on November. The weather is not comfortable. There have raining and cloudy. The scenic is so so. The most month that people visit is March. Because the garden is full of cherry blossoms.

Lovely place to visit, strongly recommended
Just got back from Wuxi, trying to persuade everyone I can
Wuxi😍 is really suitable for a spring visit, with lots of flowers and beautiful scenery🤩!
👇The itinerary is as follows:
🎈Day1: Li Garden - Turtle Head Isle - Nanchang Street
🎈Day2: Huishan Ancient Town - Nanchan Temple - Nanchang Street Canal - Nianhua Bay - Lingshan Giant Buddha
I suggest all friends who want to visit Turtle Head Isle to follow👉 the route I recommend, because going directly to Turtle Head Isle is really too congested😩. If you take a boat from Li Garden, it's very smooth🚣!
🌸Li Garden: 4A scenic area, not very big, takes about 2 hours🕑 to visit. Mainly peach blossoms are in bloom, the scenery is nice, with the blessing of Fan Li, you can also learn about the legendary life of this figure, I personally think it's worth visiting🥰.
⛴Leaving Li Garden to Turtle Head Isle, you can take a scenic area bus💰5, which may encounter traffic😣, I suggest taking a boat, which is completely unobstructed, slightly more expensive💰50, but since you're out to play, don't waste time on the road, it's better to strive for more time to visit more places👏! By the way, the boat ride offers a beautiful view of Taihu Lake😜! The boat docking point is directly at the main gate of Turtle Head Isle
🌸Turtle Head Isle: National 5A scenic area, very large, it's recommended to wear comfortable shoes, takes about 5h➕ to visit. There is a paid sightseeing car at the main gate, and if you walk 600m further, there's a free scenic area bus🚌 that takes you directly to Cherry Blossom Valley
Suggested route for Turtle Head Isle: Main gate👣—Cherry Blossom Valley—Sakura Tower—Sino-Japanese Friendship Pavilion—Taihu Lake's Best View—Boat to—Taihu Fairy Island—Boat back
After a day of walking, I suggest going directly by taxi to Nanchang Street for a meal😋, and it's recommended to stay near Nanchang Street on the first night🛏.
Huishan Ancient Town: Takes about 4 hours to visit, the ancient town is free, lots of delicious food, there are specially charged attractions inside, joint ticket💰70
🌼Jichang Garden: One of the four famous gardens in China, Qianlong's favorite garden when he visited the south of the Yangtze River, the filming location of the TV series 'Si Teng', Qin Fang's old house was filmed here, don't miss the chance to check in at the same spot if you like this TV series🤳
🌼The Second Best Spring in the World: Related to Abing's 'Moon Reflection in Erquan'
Besides these, there are also Huishan Temple, Yugong Valley and other attractions in the town
🌼Nanchan Temple: A temple with a thriving incense, said to be very efficacious, friends in need can choose on their own, free🤗.
🌼Nanchang Street Canal Section: Lots of delicious food on the ancient street, feels like you can come here to eat and drink every day😜, Qingming Bridge is a filming location for a scene in 'Dream of Splendor', you can go there to check in, also free.
On the second day, it's suggested to rush to Nianhua Bay to stay🚗, because Nianhua Bay is a bit far, and it takes 1h🕛 to get there by taxi from the city.
🌻Nianhua Bay: A scenic area highly recommended by locals, ticket price💰150, themed around 'Zen', feels like a paradise away from the world, advocating escape from the city and enjoying a slow life. Takes about 5-6 hours🤩 to visit.
🌻Lingshan Giant Buddha: Ticket price💰190, recommended visiting route: Washing Heart Pool—Five Wisdom Gate—Nine Dragons Bathing—Subduing Demon Relief—Buddha's Hand—Hundred Children Playing with Maitreya—Xiangfu Zen Temple—Lingshan Giant Buddha—Brahma Palace—Fragrance Sea—Manlong Feita—Five Seals Altar City. Takes about 4 hours to visit.
The last day is a bit rushed🚶, if you have time, you can play for one more day. In short, Wuxi is really worth the trip😉.

Come and see the cherry blossoms at Turtle Head Isle in Wuxi
Turtle Head Isle, located on the shore of Taihu Lake in Wuxi, is a wonderful place to enjoy the cherry blossoms in spring. Visitors can take a boat to the Fairy Island in Taihu Lake, where they can feed the seagulls.
Turtle Head Isle was initially established as a garden. Over time, local gentry such as Yang Hanxi bought land to build the 'Horizontal Cloud Villa' and raised funds to construct the Guangfu Temple and Taozhu Pavilion; Wang Xinru built the 'Taihu Lake Villa'; Chen Zhongyan built the Chen Garden (also known as Ruopu), and Zheng Mingshan built the Zheng Garden, among others. These private gardens and villas dotted the landscape and increased in number over the years. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of these private gardens and villas were taken over by the government and merged into the 'Turtle Head Isle Park'.
Fireworks in March - A Five-Day Tour of Yangzhou and Wuxi
Day Four (Morning)
The most splendid day of the trip.
As soon as we left the hotel yesterday, we saw the traffic jam stretching to the hotel entrance from the direction of Turtle Head Isle. This morning, we got up early, planning to set off at 7:00 and enter Turtle Head Isle at 7:30. Before leaving, we asked the cleaning lady again if this time was okay, and she said it should be fine. Just as we were about to leave, the phone rang; the front desk suggested we leave at 7:30 instead, casually stroll over in about 20 minutes, and entering the park at 8:00 would be safer. The cleaning staff must have relayed the message to the front desk, so thoughtful!
Leaving the hotel, we walked along Li Lake, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way👍. There weren't many cars on the road today.
Approaching Turtle Head Isle, cherry blossoms🌸 began to appear by the roadside...
🌟Entering the park: Around 8:00, we entered Turtle Head Isle Park from the Chongshan Gate, and the park was already bustling with people.
🅿️Parking: There's a pretty large parking lot next to the Chongshan Gate, also filled with cherry blossoms - it could be the most beautiful parking lot!
🌟Touring: After entering the park, the crowd moved towards Cherry Blossom Valley, everyone eager to reach the main scenic area quickly. Although cherry blossoms were blooming along the way, people hurried on, too rushed to appreciate them in detail.
The main scenic area was indeed more stunning, an immersive beauty beyond imagination! Despite having seen many pictures before, the shock of being amidst the flowers is indescribable. I couldn't help but want to jump for joy
Join the people in sync and feel it for yourself!
From Cherry Blossom Valley to the best spot by Tai Lake, this is a must-visit spot for tour groups. With the addition of Tai Lake and the blooming cherry blossoms, the scenery becomes even more varied and enriched...
By this point, tour groups generally start heading back. We opened an article by Guo Moruo about his visit to Turtle Head Isle, followed the route described, and moved forward, passing Feiyun Pavilion, climbing Guangfu Temple, crossing Wanlang Bridge, enjoying the unique scenery... (This route offers both mountain climbing and close proximity to Tai Lake, making for a very good touring experience👍) Then, after crossing over the hill and continuing to enjoy the flowers and views, we stopped and went, and by the time we returned to Chongshan Gate, it was already half past twelve...
Turtle Head Isle is a place you hope to visit again...
Wuxi is a place of outstanding people
Within the Turtle Head Isle Scenic Area in Wuxi, organizers have specially constructed a 'Wuxi Outstanding Figures Pavilion'.

NOT JAPAN-Amazing Cherry Blossom View at Wuxi
Amazing view of 🌸 #cherryblossom2024 at Turtle Head Park located near Lake Tai in Wuxi, China.
Date of visit: 29 March 24
Location: Yuantouzhu 鼋头渚 (Turtle Head Island)
It was the super peak season according to the locals so there was massive jam everywhere. To avoid the traffic jam, we took a speedboat from 管社山码头 (fisherman’s wharf).
Speedboat cost: 45 yuan (one way) - takes less than 10 min.
Admission fees to the island: 90 yuan
Alternatively, you can take various public transport, check baidu maps for details. 😄
The Turtle Head Isle under the moonlight and starlight is truly legendary!
I took another trip to Turtle Head Isle a few days ago during the peak blooming season.
This time I wanted to capture some different scenes,
so I got up at three in the morning and rushed to the Cherry Blossom Pavilion.
I didn't expect that when I arrived, there were already a lot of people there.
Due to the lighting and human interference, I couldn't capture the ideal image I had in mind.😐
It wasn't until 5 a.m. when the majority of people had left, during the blue hour, that the sky still faintly had stars scattered about, and the moon was just right on the left side of my frame. At this perfect moment, I pressed the shutter. People rushed into the building to add some warm lighting, and I finally got this photo that I'm very satisfied with!‼️
Afterward, as the sky gradually brightened, although some clouds interfered with the light and it wasn't the best, I still managed to take some quite satisfying photos.🌸
The blooming season is really very brief!
Compared to Dali, the red-billed gulls at Wuxi's Turtle Head Isle offer better value for money
I bet you'll definitely come! During the Spring Festival period, there are just too many people. We queued for over two hours, but when we saw all the seagulls flocking in, it was truly spectacular, and all the waiting was worth it.
I suggest you go in the morning when there are fewer people, and the sunrise should also be beautiful. We queued at around 1 pm and didn't get on the boat until 4 pm, but luckily we caught one of the last few ferries, just in time to cruise during the sunset.
⏰ The ferry schedule is: from Turtle Head Isle Ferry Terminal to Taihu Fairy Island Terminal, the first ferry is at 8:20; the last ferry is at 16:20.
🎫 Ticket price: The original price is 90 yuan, including the park bus and passenger ferry ticket. (During the Spring Festival period from 2.9 to 2.17, you can purchase it for half price at 45 yuan, which also includes the ferry ticket)
After entering the park, you need to walk for about 20-30 minutes to reach the ferry terminal. If you're willing to walk, you can enjoy the scenery along the way. If you feel the distance is a bit far, you can also take the park bus or buy a sightseeing car ticket to go directly!
📷 The best photo spot: on the second floor at the stern of the boat. Because it's crowded, if the second floor is full, the first floor is also a good choice. There are the most red-billed gulls at the stern, and of course, there will be other seagulls around. Prepare a few slices of bread in advance, and maybe the seagulls will fly to your hand to snatch the food.
⚠️ If you're just there to see the seagulls, you don't have to disembark at Taihu Fairy Island Terminal; you can return directly. The round trip takes about 30 minutes.

Wuxi's Turtle Head Isle Scenic Area is a national 5A-level tourist attraction, acclaimed as 'the premier scenic spot of Taihu Lake'.

It showcases the delicate elegance and majestic grandeur of Taihu Lake. Visitors can take a boat to the nearby Fairy Islands of Taihu Lake to experience different lake and mountain views.
Let's go! Enjoy a 3-day and 2-night leisure trip to Wuxi to see the cherry blossoms
New Year's first stop, let's start with the flower-filled Wuxi. After being recommended by a colleague for two years, I finally made it‼️ Here's a three-day and two-night ultimate guide

🌸 Turtle Head Isle: The holy land for cherry blossom viewing in Wuxi
🎫: 90, 85 on a certain app, 80 for night cherry blossom viewing
🚌: It is recommended to take a bus or taxi (bus no. 1 can get there). Driving and waiting for a parking spot can be frustrating. You can choose to enter the park through Chongshan or Dushan gate, and it is said that there are fewer people at Dushan gate
🌸🌸🌸 Blossom period
Early March to mid-March, pink and rose red, Kawazu cherry and Campanulata cherry dominate
Mid to late March, pale pink, Somei Yoshino, spectacular scale
Late March to mid to late April, cherry blossom rain, late cherry blossoms have a greenish hue
🗺️ Chongshan Gate → Cherry Blossom Valley → Cherry Blossom Viewing Tower → Yuanben Bay → Changchun Bridge → Taihu Fairy Island (by boat) Changchun Bridge night cherry blossoms → Chongshan Gate
‼️ Expect long queues for the boat to Taihu Fairy Island, I waited nearly 40 minutes (non-holiday)

Liyuan: A place that tells the beautiful legend of Fan Li and Xi Shi, and where you can enjoy peach blossoms

Day 3: Dangkou Ancient Town
I don't like going to popular spots, so I skipped Hui Mountain and discovered that Dangkou Ancient Town is really pleasant and leisurely to stroll around, without a heavy commercial atmosphere.
📌 Wang Xin's former residence (lyricist and composer of 'Singing the Motherland'), Hua's Righteous Mansion, Hua Hengfang's Life Exhibition Hall (designed China's first steam engine and the first motorized ship, a 'pioneer of modern science in China'), Qian Mu's former residence, Guandi Temple, Huitong Hall, Film Museum, etc.
Visiting the ancient town and learning about the deeds of these famous people is quite interesting.
🥯 About food: Hexingji (wonton and buns), Mao Huamei Food (magnolia cake, hot and sour soup), wheat straw rope oil zanzi, Xishengyuan (wonton), eel noodles, Daoxiang Market (green dumplings, tofu brain, soy milk, plum cake)
Oil zanzi and plum cake won my heart, but the rest were a bit too sweet for my taste as a Cantonese.
💵 Total cost above 800 yuan
Wuxi Turtle Head Park
Best place to view cherry blossoms in China in my opinion. This is Turtle Head Park at the North end of Taihu in Wuxi, which is merely an hour ride from Shanghai. It was super crowded but totally worth it!
This is the correct way to enjoy the cherry blossoms in the spring of Jiangnan
After you say spring is not late, I arrive at the true Jiangnan.
It's time for the most beautiful moments in Wuxi again!
The romantic cherry blossoms🌸 paired with the unique scenery of Jiangnan are even more charming.
The cherry blossoms in Cherry Blossom Valley and the best spots by Taihu Lake are particularly beautiful.
