The Millennium Wuxi, one of the finest 5 star hotels in Wuxi, is conveniently located approximately 15 km from the famed Tai Lake. This lake, located in the Yangtze delta plain on the border of the Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces, is renowned as a major tourist attraction.

The Tai Lake has the distinction of being the third biggest lake in China; it is linked to the well-known Grand Canal. A number of rivers flow outwards from Tai Lake including the important Suzhou Creek.

Tai Lake is a site of great natural beauty, with its limpid waters framed by hills and luxuriant vegetation. It is generally thought that the best vantage point from which to admire the lake and its environs is the summit of Dragon Light Pagoda situated in Xihui Park to the west of Wuxi. This location provides a mesmerizing bird’s eye view of both the city and Tai Lake, a remarkable panorama that never fails to enchant the beholder.


It is also possible to gain an appealing view over these environs from the Longshan Hill, where according to legend the poet Su Shi penned verses. Many have also been entranced by the spectacular vista available from Turtle Head Islet, which looks over the lake and its surrounding environment. The Turtle Head Islet Park is an attraction in itself with man-made creations like flowering shrubs and trees complementing the natural beauty of the landscape.

The eateries around Tai Lake are also renowned for their native seafood, in particular the dish known as ‘Tai Lake Three Whites’, which consists of white shrimp, whitefish and whitebait. This delicacy is often prepared on the boats themselves, as visitors take in the scenic beauty of the surroundings. Thus, a trip to Tai Lake will not disappoint visitors to Wuxi.
