Once you're in Wuxi never miss the opportunity to see the Taihu Lake! Go to The Turtle's Head and see the cherry blossoms in full bloom, The Liyuan Garden for the grotesque rock formations or the Fairy Islets for the huge carved buddhist statues! The boat ride around these places is worth a lifetime of precious memories!

Ni Hao,
Purple mountain in my mind! It will actually stay there forever once you see the place! The Sun-yat-Sen Mausoleum with its 392 steps is a must see as well as the Ming tombs and the Linggu Temple with 291 steps leading all the way to the top! If you have the luxury of time...go around the mountain on foot! The experience is invigorating!

What to know

Ni Hao,
Being a foreigner in China, is quite demanding as you would have to struggle with the language barrier. My best tip for people travelling from one place to another is to know the chinese character of the place you intend to go to and make sure you jot down the plate number of the bus...it may prove very helpful once you leave some stuff behind. When I was at the bus station I paid for a ticket to go to Taizhou, what I didn't know was that the bus I rode was just stopping over at the place, it was not actually its final destination. I had to get down right before reaching the toll gate leading to the main highway as I suspected something was amiss. In my haste, I left some of my stuff in the bus. Luckily a bus station I went to helped me find my stuff having showed them the ticket. I was lucky then...others might not be so lucky..so be careful!
