There is a chinese saying “Taihu Lake is a wonderful place because of Turtle Head Island.” During the early 20th century, social celebrities, officials and nobles built private gardens and villas on Turtle Head Island. After the founding of the People's Warlord Era, these assets were mostly taken over by the government and merged into The Turtle Head Park. It is currently an AAAAA attraction. There are taoist temples and buddha statues on the island. If you visit during the spring season, you will also be able to enjoy charming surroundings filled with cherry blossoms!

Reviews from Real Guests:

ニーハオ: You can go from Wuxi Station by bus for 2 yuan. I think it was about an hour. I went to the beginning of December. The red leaves were very beautiful. There are so many cherry trees and spring will be great again. I think it's good at any time of the year. When I looked at the tour guests, I felt like I was on the boat, but I was from the opening to the closing. There were some places that could not be put in repair work, but it is recommended for those who want to relax.

Trip.com User: Nice park. Can stroll to the boat where they'll take you to an island with a temple. Tickets are 90 RMB

Construction of the cluster of ancestral halls began in the Tang dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Most of the ones we see now are Qing dynasty ancestral halls. More than 80 family names are represented in these ancestral halls, so it's worth visiting and finding about your ancestors. Moreover, Wuxi clay figurines from the town make good souvenirs, and the local food is also worth trying. In addition, Huishan Ancient Town is encircled by a north-south horizontal street and an east-west vertical street. At the eastern end of the vertical street, there is a large screen wall on which four big Chinese characters saying "Huishan Ancient Town" are inscribed.
