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.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Sarah: I went on a Tuesday morning before 8.30am in term time so it was quiet, serene and not crowded. it got busier as the day progressed and tour buses arrived but nothing like holiday time in China. the all access ticket was 210 you can scan the code to get a ticket if the office isn’t open when you arrive. it includes a time for the show at the palace. I also paid the 40rmb for the hop in and off bus because the area is large and it was a boiling hot day so it was convenient and made the day more relaxing and pleasant. you can walk if you don’t fancy the bus the paths are beautiful and there are many shaded areas. there are many things to see; a Buddhism cultural museum; fantastic views and numerous places for food and drink. if you see the morning shows you’ll be pleased past various restaurants which are really expensive (500rmb a set meal). I’d skip those and head for some snacks in the downstairs lobby you’ll walk through before you can exit (includes drinks fruit ice cream etc) and wait till you get to the exit of the entire place as you’ll be forced through commercial city (like IKEA) until you can exit - but this place has many small food stalls that are cheap and cheerful with seating. I had special fried rice and passion fruit juice for 23rmb. you can easily spend a morning or an afternoon here. oh and one final thing - all the toilets were spotless and well stocked !

Miming: We went there the day before but it was snowing so we stayed at the hotel and planned to go in the morning instead. The Weather was great (we’re blessed by Buddha) 🙏🏻💛 Because we’re from another City, Shanghai and foreigners the staff was checking our passports and Green Codes. It’s a little bit hustle because he takes tome on inspecting it but we fully understand. It’s for safety purposes. The place is clean and the music is solemn. We bought the ticket inside. East and Convenient. We also watch the Show and it’s surprisingly amazing. And Finally Got t ok the Top and Prayed at Buddha. Not too many people the weather was excellent only little sprinkle of rain. Amazing!
