The city of Wuxi, nestled within the scenic surrounds of the Jiangsu province, is home to some tranquil localities such as Lake Tai, which is the ideal place to explore and savour with family and friends. Make sure you book into a stylish Wuxi hotel first, and the Millennium Wuxi is a prime pick of a luxury hotel in Wuxi to host your stay in the region.

Visit Lake Tai during your time here, for a welcome break from the concrete jungle and dive into a scenic, inviting wonderland. Taking pride of place here is the Yuantouzhu peninsula, and it is located on the northwestern shore. Translating as “Turtle’s Head Isle”, it is a popular lure with tourists. Ferries transport you from the peninsula into the scenic Sanshan Islands, which was once a famous haunt of bandits in the area. One of the best times to visit the lake and peninsula is during spring, as March and April are when the cherry blossom trees dotting the area start to bloom, filling the air with scented blossoms. Tourists can enter through Dushan gate and Chongshan gate. Lake Tai also features a massive Ferris wheel on its show, and during the 18-minute ride, the majestic landscape of Tai will unfold before you. At night, the twinkling lights of the city provide an enchanting vista.
