Tauhu Lake, located in Wuxi City, is a famous lake in China. Yuantouzhu is a peninsula in the north of the Taihu Lake. It looks like a floating turtle and gets its name. Here you can visit the huge gardens, take a boat to feel the vastness of the Taihu Lake Lake, visit the fairyland of the Taihu Lake Lake, or taste cherry blossoms in spring to experience the artistic conception of "the Taihu Lake Lake is a wonderful place, after all, Yuantouzhu".
The blooming of cherry blossoms every spring is a great spectacle here, and there is also a lively cherry blossom festival.
Yuantouzhu is surrounded by water on three sides. It has both the natural beauty of long mountains and wide waters, dotted with sails, and the pastoral scenery of small bridges and flowing water. It is the great beauty of the Taihu Lake Lake.
The Taihu Lake Lake Fairy Island is a must experience place at Yuantouzhu. There are Taoist Fairy Palace and Taoist and Buddhist grottoes on the island. When you climb Luding Mountain on the peninsula, you can look around the lake. When the weather is fine, you can see the dancing boats on the lake and feel the beauty of the Taihu Lake Lake.
The unique feature of Yuantouzhu as a place for cherry blossom viewing is its panoramic view of water, land, and air. The second option is to enjoy cherry blossoms at night, which combine with lighting and are incredibly beautiful. The early cherry blossoms in Yuantouzhu usually bloom in early March, mostly single or semi double.
According to the flowering time of cherry blossoms, they can be divided into early and late cherry blossoms. There are many types of early blooming cherry blossoms, and the flowering period (from initial opening, blooming to falling) lasts for one week. The late cherry blossom period can last for 7-10 days. Due to the speed of warming, there is a 5-12 day interval between the early and late flowering periods, during which some hybrid varieties of cherry blossoms bloom. Generally, in mid to late March, the Yoshino Sakura in Rani enters its peak flowering period, which is the best viewing period. The specific time to enter the peak flowering period depends on the weather at that time. If there is cold air, it may delay the peak flowering period. In summer, you can appreciate the beautiful lotus flowers.
Yuantouzhu also has many historic sites and private gardens built by celebrities and dignitaries in the old days, such as the gatehouse containing the "the Taihu Lake Lake Wonderful Place", Hengyun Villa of Changchun Bridge, Guangfu Temple, an ancient temple in Wuxi, etc. And savoring the traces, stone carvings, paintings, and other relics of famous figures and scholars from various dynasties that can be seen everywhere is also a great pleasure of visiting Yuantouzhu. In addition, if you have time, you can also go to Wanlangqiao Bridge, which is a good place to watch the sunset in the Taihu Lake Lake.
Yuantouzhu's Chongshan Gate (main gate, southeast of the scenic spot) is accessible, while the Dushan Gate (north of the scenic spot) is inaccessible. The whole scenic spot is mainly composed of Yuantouzhu Peninsula, the Taihu Lake Lake Fairy Island and Zhongdu Mountain. It takes about a whole day to visit all the attractions. For most tourists, the essence tour method is generally recommended: cruise dock - the Taihu Lake Lake Fairy Island - the Taihu Lake Lake Wonderland - Hengyun Mountain Villa - Yuanzhu Chuntao - Guangfu Temple - Luding Mountain.
