Travel guide of Wuxi: A three-day trip to Wuxi

Maybe it's because I'm under too much work pressure at ordinary times, and I can't wait to go out for fun as soon as I have a holiday; Maybe I want to give my children more knowledge. It's rare to have a holiday and all three of them are free, so I don't want to miss the opportunity to spend a holiday together. We decided to go out for a few days, even though we knew that the tourist attractions would be crowded on May Day. Wuxi is not far from Shanghai and beside Taihu Lake, which is very suitable for those of us who live in reinforced concrete forests all day. I have been to Wuxi several times before, but the time interval is too long, and I can't remember anything except the vast Taihu Lake. You can turn around slowly this time.

Because of the hasty decision, I didn't want to book a room and buy a ticket until April 29th, and as a result, I couldn't book such things as Home Inn and Jinjiang Inn. I didn't get a good number of trains on the train ticket, only one local express and a seat ticket, 18 yuan/Zhang. I finally booked the Meidu Hotel, and there is only one business room, 338 yuan/room. Generally speaking, this hotel is ok, with good service attitude and clean environment. Breakfast is a little expensive, and it's not so good to listen to netizens. We didn't enjoy it. The disadvantage is that hygiene is absolutely "mini". There is no bathtub, only a small shower room is installed. Fat people who are locked in it to take a shower will inevitably be in close contact with the surrounding glass. The toilet is installed behind the door of the bathroom, so the door cannot be opened straight. One third of the washbasin sticks out because the counter is too narrow to put down. The room is not big either. I even think it was converted from a big bed to a twin bed room. But we live on the ninth floor, which is very quiet, so we are quite satisfied.

Speaking of fun, we only went to Yuantouzhu, Liyuan, Xihui Park and San'guo City. I think that's a representative place in Wuxi. Mashan is a little far away, and we didn't go there specifically to worship Buddha this time, so we don't have to. The cultural atmosphere of Donglin Academy is so strong that children may not be interested. We arrived in Wuxi at noon, went directly to the hotel, and then had lunch at the nearby Jinjiang Inn. The three of us had 1 yuan, and we were very full, especially the fish head griddle, which was memorable. In the afternoon, I went to Xihui Park, 25 yuan/person. I didn't climb Huishan, for one thing, it was too late, and for another, I didn't have enough physical strength with my children. Xihui Park is quite good, especially there are many exquisite gardening sketches in the park. Although it is not a historic site, thatched pavilions, small wooden bridges, flowers with various colors and trees with leaves of different colors are in harmony with the surrounding Xishan and Longguang Tower, which makes people feel that the park is beautiful and has the flavor of Jiangnan. In the evening, I went to Jinjiang Inn. My husband was probably tired, had a fever and had a bad appetite. We had a hearty meal of Wuxi specialties such as pork ribs with Wuxi sauce and oil gluten, and only used 7 yuan.

The next day, I went to Yuantouzhu, 7 yuan/people. Naturally, there were many people. Fortunately, we went early and got on the boat without waiting in line for a long time when we went to Sanshan. The scenery near Taihu Lake is really good. Although I have been there many times, I still feel I can't get enough of it. In particular, Xiandao is particularly clean, there is no dust on the leaves, and the air seems to be particularly fresh. Of course, this is at Taihu Lake, but it's not like this in those Taoist temples. The incense is too strong. When I came back from Xiandao, I walked beside Taihu Lake. There are many historical sites and stone carvings here, which are very beautiful, but there are too many people, so it is a bit difficult to take a good photo. Taihu Lake is not lightly polluted. When I walked to the lake, I wanted to get close to Taihu Lake, but when I saw too many algae and muddy lake water, I gave up this idea. We went up to Luding Mountain again, where there were not many people and it was quiet. We just "washed our lungs" and climbed high and looked at it. The mood of the lakes and mountains became much calmer, and the feeling of dryness on weekdays disappeared.

From Yuantouzhu, it was still early, so I went to Liyuan, 2 yuan/person. It's a very suitable place for two people to walk. Maybe we went late. I think the garden is very quiet, and the breeze blows. From time to time, speedboats draw S-shapes on the calm lake, and the lake under the setting sun makes ripples, which makes people drunk. The dinner on this day was settled in Xixin Hotel, which has a good reputation among netizens. Perhaps the business is too good during the holidays, and I feel that the service is not in place, and the dining environment is not very good. However, the specialty of the store, Tangsi Snail, is really delicious. If I go back to Shanghai that day, I really want to pack it and take it home. The expenses here are not too big. The three of us used 85 yuan.

There was nothing to play on the third day, so I wanted to go to San'guo City, 55 yuan/person (I think this ticket is the least worth it, it's too expensive). It's all man-made landscapes, and it's been open for many years, but there are still many people going. We happened to give our child a lesson on the Three Kingdoms, so that he would be interested in watching The Romance of the Three Kingdoms when he came back. At first, we didn't know that Water Margin was connected with San'guo City, so we didn't buy a joint ticket (8 yuan/person). Later generations were tired, too. Considering that these landscapes are all similar, they didn't go. If you like, you can go to Shuihu City first, and then enter San'guo City through the back door. There are also sightseeing bus seats between the two cities, which will save you some effort to play, but you have to pay a price for this effort:). From San'guo City, we went to the downtown of Wuxi to taste Wang Xingji's steamed buns and wonton, which were not bad. The three of us spent 37 yuan. I remember the dishes and small cages in Wuxi are very sweet, but I don't think so this time. Maybe these dishes have changed their taste to suit more diners? Then, of course, I went to buy Wuxi sauce ribs, oil gluten and steamed buns and other specialties to take home.

I thought it would be hard to buy tickets for the holidays. Because we didn't get a return ticket when we were in Shanghai. However, when you go to Wuxi Station, all the telephone booths and newsstands in the square in front of the station sell tickets for Shanghai, and there are seats available, so you can choose any number of trains. Of course, the condition is that 5 yuan is added to each ticket. No wonder the ticket office at the station can't buy a ticket back to Shanghai! This time we bought an express train, 2+5 yuan/ticket. Although I have some ideas about the fare increase, it is still good to be able to return to Shanghai on time.

This time, three people and one person spent 17 yuan in Wuxi for three days. Generally speaking, they had a good time, enjoyed their meals and had a good rest at night. I don't know if it is a luxury, but it should be said that these expenses are also necessary.
