Huishan Ancient Town · Jichang Garden Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Huishan Ancient Town is situated to the north of Xihui park in Wuxi, and is made up of many old ancestral halls. 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.

Other visitors' reviews of Huishan Ancient Town · Jichang Garden
Show More ReviewsUnlike the mass-produced water towns of Jiangnan, Huishan Ancient Town's soul lies in its ancestral hall culture, earning it the reputation of an "open-air history museum." On one side lies the landscape of Xishan and Huishan mountains, and the elegant Jiangnan garden of Jichang Garden; on the other, the old streets teem with life, where authentic snacks and everyday life intertwine. Commercial activity is restrained, free from noise and bustle; ancient alleys, archways, and ancestral halls are quietly arranged, a perfect balance between profound history and everyday life. A cable car ride offers a panoramic view of the ancient town, with its white walls and black tiles stretching out in a continuous line. As lanterns light up at dusk, the atmosphere is enchanting, suitable for all ages, relaxing and captivating.
