Wuxi is a renowned culturally rich city which inherits a notable historical legacy stretching
back more than 3,000 years. The city’s founding is attributed to the final years of the Shang
Dynasty, when a prince arrived in the area to create the Wu culture. Today Wuxi is a major
commercial and economic hub with a well-developed flourishing economy.
The city has also achieved the status of a premier tourist destination, as it possesses
captivating scenery as a result of its location on Lake Taihu. The immense 88 metre tall bronze
Buddha figure at Lingshan is a major attraction as its environs have been transformed into an
