[2024 Wuxi Stay] Travel Guide for Taihu Hotel (Updated Oct)
Wuxi Taihu Hotel
Wuxi/Taihu Hotel
The room is in the style of an old hotel, with an overall red and yellow color scheme, giving it a sense of weight. It's no wonder it's a state guesthouse! The hotel is not very tall, with the highest floor being the 7th floor. It has its own large garden, with lake views and garden views. We happened to be there during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we booked a lake view room and enjoyed the moon, tea, and the beauty of Taihu Lake.
Breakfast:
Compared to other hotels, the breakfast is of a very high standard, with a wide variety of delicious options! Dinner:
Seafood buffet, there were many families who came for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was also a lucky draw, the food was delicious, and I especially liked the drunken crab!

Wuxi Taihu Hotel and Yangzhou Guest House
During this trip to Jiangnan, we stayed at two hotels: Yangzhou Guest House (first four photos) and Wuxi Taihu Hotel (last four photos). Let's talk about breakfast first. The breakfast at the Guest House is more exquisite, but it doesn't have as many varieties as Taihu Hotel. Personally, I prefer the breakfast at Taihu Hotel, which includes many Wuxi specialty snacks and a wide variety of options. Since we first arrived in Yangzhou and stayed in Building 18 of the Guest House, there was a noticeable difference in hardware when we moved to Taihu Hotel. However, the view from the balcony of Taihu Hotel is quite nice, offering a beautiful view of Taihu Lake (fifth photo). You can lie in bed and watch the boats coming and going on the lake. Both hotels are garden hotels with beautiful scenery, each with its own unique charm. The staff at both hotels are very friendly. The facilities at the Guest House are more up-to-date, while Taihu Hotel has a feel similar to hotels in Sanya. In conclusion, both hotels are worth trying.

Wuxi Taihu Hotel
High-level lake view rooms can see Taihu Lake and Lutingshan Shutian Pavilion from a distance. Wuxi Taihu Hotel was established in 1952, located in the Taihu Lake scenic area, backed by Meiyuan, and facing the Turtle Head Isle Park across the lake. The garden-style hotel is similar to the Yangzhou Guest House, with a majestic lobby, spacious guest rooms, meticulous details, comfortable smart toilets, lacquer boxes, and the complimentary fruits and pastries. The view from the window and the scenery from the balcony are unparalleled. On the 5th and 6th floors, there are many restaurants, encountering too many surprises by Taihu Lake.

It's not that I can't afford to go to Turtle Head Isle, but the red-billed gulls by Li Lake are more cost-effective
To be honest, it's not that I can't afford to go to Turtle Head Isle, but the area around Li Lake is more cost-effective! Free is the best.
📍Navigation: Shuijingfang
🅿Parking: There is a small parking lot after entering the auxiliary road, with plenty of spaces.
There is a large lawn here, with amusement facilities inside. Along the side of Li Lake, there is a wooden plank road. You don't have to worry about the crowd, and you don't have to queue for a ferry like at Turtle Head Isle. It's so comfortable to set up a tent, feed the seagulls, watch the sunset in winter, and bring the kids to play!
📢Warm Tips:
1. Seagulls are likely to be full in the afternoon, so it's recommended to go in the morning.
2. You can bring more bread and biscuits. A bag of Daliyuan small bread (6 pieces) may not be enough to feed. The red-billed gulls are very smart. When they see people leaving, they will fly to the water to rest. When people come, they know there is food and will fly over in waves. They are very alert and hardly eat the bread in your hand. You can throw it into the air or put it on the railing by the lake.
3. There are many people on weekends, so try to come on weekdays.
4. The lake is windy, so keep warm.
5. The wooden plank road of Li Lake is very suitable for taking pictures. It's easy to get good shots when there are few people, and children can have a lot of fun. It's very suitable for bringing kids and parents to check in.
❗️The red-billed gulls/seagulls fly very fast and are hard to capture.
✅Tip: Open the 4k60 frame video mode to shoot. During the recording process, pay attention to the flight status of the red-billed gulls, and be ready to capture photos at any time (the button in the lower right corner of the screen in video mode).

I originally thought that the cherry blossoms in Turtle Head Isle had become divine, and the red-billed gulls paired with the pink sunset were the best
During the cherry blossom season, I realized that watching seagulls (should be red-billed gulls) from December to February in winter is also unparalleled!
🎫Tickets can be purchased one day in advance, the price is 85r (including cruise ship, buying in advance can save 5r), don't forget to bring your ID card, the purchased tickets have no QR code, you need to swipe your ID card for ticket checking.
🚢The cruise ship goes back and forth, it is advisable to take sunset photos on the return journey. At this time, there are more tourists, it is best to prepare to queue up to board the ship from four to four and a half. ⚠️Go straight to the stern after boarding!
🥯Bring some small bread, if you don't bring it, you can buy a bag of Panpan for 15r in the scenic area.
🤗Remember to choose a sunny day to go, with the sunset, it's breathtaking!
"Sailing out of Fuxu mouth, there are no mountains, only the sky", who can understand! Wuxi this season, beautiful to become divine! Limited photography skills, it is difficult to restore its true face. Please forgive me!
