Lying just north of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou was a major trade center on the Grand Canal. Yangzhou is only an hour bus ride from Nanjing, and three hours from Shanghai. Emperors used to visit Yangzhou by boat to enjoy its distinct architecture and famously beautiful women, among other things. Yangzhou reached its heyday over a thousand years ago as a salt distribution center during the Tang Dynasty. The salt trade allowed the city to accumulate considerable wealth triggering a flourishing arts and literary scene that continues to this day. Numerous museums, galleries, and art stores display extraordinary traditional works by local artists, and another famous Yangzhou product, ornate lacquer ware, can be purchased at shops throughout the city.
Today, there are an unbelievable amount of tourist activities in this small relaxed city. The willow tree lined Slender West Lake is a huge, must see park, and both He and Ge Gardens make for pleasant visits as well. One can just as easily spend a day exploring the ancient alleys and quiet canal side paths. By night, go for some of Yangzhou’s interesting cuisine or go relax at any one of the city’s abundant bath houses.

Wuxi is one of the less well-known cities in China, which seems strange to those who live here. Interestingly, only three or four years ago expatriates were rarely seen in the city, and not many cars were privately owned. Now Wuxi is listed as one of the 15 economic central cities in China as well as one of the ten leading tourist cities.
The first thing visitors will notice when approaching Wuxi, especially when arriving by train or bus from the west, is the lush vegetation and the abundance of water in the many rivers, lakes and canals. Wuxi is located in the rich, fertile, low-lying area of the Yangtze River delta, often referred to as the “land of fish and rice”.
The main tourist attraction is Tai Hu (Lake Tai), one of China’s four main freshwater lakes. There are a number of sites to visit and activities to enjoy in and around the lake, including islands and boat rides, parks and gardens, and even a movie set. For tourists who choose to make the lake the centre of their visit, there are plenty of hotels and resorts near the lake.
Near Tai Hu visitors can also enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the Plum Garden, and closer to the city, Li Yuan (Li Garden) on the shores of the smaller Li Hu (Li Lake). At 88 metres in height the bronze Ling Shan Buddha at Ma Shan (Ma Hill) is another one of Wuxi’s most spectacular sites.
Very close to the city centre is the hilly area of Xihui Park. The park contains many attractions including a small zoo, a cable ride, and a pottery museum. Xihui Park is located just across the Grand Canal, the largest and busiest canal that crisscrosses the city.
The central business district is very modern and compact. Public transportation is abundant, as are taxis, but the area is small enough to walk around for those who enjoy a healthy stroll. The railway station is north of the shopping district with frequent trains running along the Nanjing-Shanghai rail line.
Those who come to Wuxi for more than its tourist attractions find it a progressive, ever-expanding commercial and industrial centre. An ever-increasing amount of multi-national companies are setting up operations in the new industrial districts on the southeast side of the city. There is ample accomodation available in the city itself and at very reasonable rates in the New District.

City Wall (Admission: 45CNY) - Nanjing City Wall, constructed during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties between 1365 and 1386, originally stretched over 30km which made it the longest city wall in the world. Now, with about two thirds of the wall still intact it still remains the longest city wall in China. We could walk on the city wall and feel the history of Nanjing.
