▲ Tai Hu Yuantouzhu Scenic Spot is a peninsula in the northern part of Taihu Lake, named for its resemblance to a turtle raising its head. Here, you can explore vast garden complexes, take a boat to experience the vast misty waters of Taihu Lake, ascend the Taihu Fairy Island to discover its secrets, or visit in spring to admire cherry blossoms and appreciate the poetic sentiment of "the finest spot of Taihu Lake is undoubtedly Yuantouzhu." The spectacular sight of cherry blossoms in full bloom each spring is a major attraction, complemented by the lively Cherry Blossom Festival.
▲ [Cherry Blossom Valley] Located at the northern foot of Luding Mountain in the Tai Hu Yuantouzhu Scenic Spot, adjacent to and integrated with the China-Japan Cherry Blossom Friendship Forest, this 200,000-square-meter area features over 30,000 cherry trees of 68 varieties, making it one of China's largest specialized cherry blossom gardens. The valley boasts structures like the Cherry Blossom Viewing Tower, Nieyun Pavilion, Fanying Pavilion, and Cuchun Bridge, making it an ideal destination for spring outings, cherry blossom viewing, and friendly exchange activities. The annual Cherry Blossom Festival typically opens in mid-March and lasts until mid-April. Visitors can enjoy panoramic cherry blossom views from land, water, and air, with each perspective offering unique scenery. The nighttime illumination creates a magical atmosphere as the lights interplay with the blooming cherry blossoms.
▲ Three Kingdoms Town, Wuxi Film and Television Base, is a direct subsidiary of China Television Media Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: CCTV Media 600088). Established in 1987, the base covers an area of approximately 1,200 acres, with about 3,000 acres of usable water area. The affiliated Three Kingdoms and Water Margin attractions were built as large-scale film and television production bases for the historical classics "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin." It is China's earliest theme attraction that perfectly integrates historical culture, film and television culture, and tourism culture, as well as one of the first batch of National AAAAA-level tourist attractions.
▲ Plum Garden is located on the southern slope of Hu Mountain in the western suburbs of Wuxi. Originally built in 1912 as a private garden by the Rong brothers, Rong Zongjing and Rong Desheng, pioneers of China's national industry. Every year from February to March, thousands of plum trees in the attraction bloom together, creating a breathtaking sea of flowers that attracts countless photography enthusiasts. As an old saying in Wuxi goes, "Spring begins at Plum Garden." Visiting Plum Garden is highly seasonal, with spring being the ideal time. In early spring, the plum blossoms display a variety of colors—red, white, and pink—with single and double petals. Some trees even bear blossoms of different colors, including rare pale green varieties. Weekends draw particularly large crowds of visitors, so if possible, choose a working day for your visit. Slightly after the plum blossom season, from late March to April, tulips bloom in abundance, and the attraction hosts a tulip flower exhibition.
