Wuxi is a sweet, rich, and low-key city.

Wuxi is an important birthplace of Jiangnan civilization and Wu culture. Many ancient rivers have been filled and turned into city roads, and the ancient city sites have been covered by modern business centers. The unique ancient city that looks like a turtle's back has not been preserved. Perhaps Wuxi will feel a little regretful. Fortunately, there is still Huishan Ancient Town, where you can get a glimpse of the elegance of the past. Lu Yu, the sage of tea, visited famous mountains and explored mountain springs. He believed that Huishan Shiquan was the second in the world. Since then, Huishan Quan has been named "the second spring in the world". The famous erhu song "Erquan Yingyue" by Hua Yanjun, a modern Wuxi local folk musician, also originated from this. In the 100 years of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi and Qianlong emperors visited Huishan seven times. Emperor Qianlong visited Jichang Garden eight times and wrote the calligraphy gallery. Among the famous places in Jiangnan, Huishan Qinyuan is the oldest. In order to send lovesickness, Jichang Garden was imitated in the Summer Palace and Xiequ Garden was built. The ancient ancestral hall community of Huishan, which originated in the Tang Dynasty and has strong regional characteristics of Wuzhong, is quite imposing. Qian Wusu, the king of the Spring and Autumn Period, Chunshenjun of the Warring States Period, Zhang Xun, a famous general who can sing and cry in the Battle of Suiyang in the Tang Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, and Hai Rui of the Ming Dynasty, now have 118 ancient and elegant or magnificent ancestral hall buildings. From the political arena to the literati, it is a great view. Wuxi's profound cultural heritage is now more agitated in the names. In modern times, the four major families of Wuxi, Yang Rong and Xue Tang, merchants and scholars, gathered here.
