One of the Birthplaces of China’s Modern Economy and Industry
Nestled on the northern shore of Tai Lake, China's third-largest body of fresh water, Wuxi lies on the southern border of Jiangsu Province, about 128 kilometers (79.5 miles) northwest of Shanghai. Wuxi is a city richly endowed by nature. Owing to its pleasantly warm and moist climate, it boasts a reputation of the 'Land of Fish and Rice'.
Relying on the near-by Yangtze River and ancient Grand Canal, it had been a port city with the busiest rice and cloth market in China before the 19th century. In modern times, with its rapidly developing industry, Wuxi became one of China's top 50 cities with broad strength and is thus called the 'Little Shanghai' for its prosperous economy. It is impossible not to fall in love with Wuxi, a city teeming with historical sites, beautiful lake views, lush mountains, countryside scenery and ancient towns. Also, you will be overwhelmed by a variety of snacks including Steamed Buns, Braised Spare Ribs in Brown Sauce, Wonton and Beancurd Jelly. The most popular snack streets are Chongan Temple Pedestrian Street and Nanchan Temple Pedestrian Street.
