It’s the weekend again. And I’m now out at town district to enjoy an hour or more of fast internet surfing. Hmm…seriously, there’s really a lot of Chinese students here in this internet bar, especially the teenagers, here surfing, playing internet games, or even do research. This kind of culture is pretty interesting as such places can bring more socializing among the people in such a big city.

Anyway, I’ll like to show you some photos taken while my partner and I went to Wuxi’s famous nature beauty, Yuan Tou Zhu (aka Turtle Head Peninsula). It’s located on the southwest edge of Wuxi, with Tai Hu’s water grazing its shore. And the place gets this name as it is said that one will able to see the turtle head-like coast while approaching the place by Tai Hu. For your information, Tai Hu is China’s most fabled body of fresh water. It’s also the home of quality pearls, which are being sold across China. But I didn’t buy that cos’ it’s kinda too expensive for me to buy on the initial period of my stay.

To start off the expedition, we also took the 15 minutes ferry ride, which is included in the admission ticket of RMB100, to San Shan Dao (aka Fairy Islands of Tai Hu), a hilly island connected by causeways to two flanking islets. The highlights on this island are the Taoist temples, structures and certainly its nature beauty. Though it’s hard for me to climb high and down to cover all the highlights on this island, I certainly am delighted to witness such beauty.

Then, we returned back to the Peninsula to continue exploring. As we were not too sure to walk such a big place, we decided to follow the tour groups, which were there at that time. And we got to see and understand the background story behind the different spots along the Peninsula’s coastal areas. After all, we explored inwards the Peninsula and climbed up at Lu Ding Hill, the highest spot in this tourist attraction. According to our colleagues, you will able to see Wuxi as a whole at this spot. Well, I’m not sure if we really did witnessed cos’ it was slightly misty when we were up at the hill’s tower. After the trip, I must say both of us were so tired as we really climbed and walked a lot to explore and take photos.










Haha…it’s the only beginning for us to explore the city, and the nearby cities like Shanghai and Suzhou. So I’ll train myself now to be more stronger and also save plenty of money to go around. Cheers.
