The famous tourist attraction that is the Turtle Head Isle Scenic Area, is a narrow peninsula that protrudes into Tai Lake. The Lake which resembles the shape of a long and craning neck of a giant turtle is what the attraction derives its name from. The area is basically a park which boasts some rather impressive close-up views of the lake. The destination is popular among locals who wish to chill out and have a good time and also among foreigners who are keen to explore the area. Accommodation in Wuxi is never a problem for most of these visitors with many establishments such as the Ascott Central Wuxi and numerous others readily available to offer lodging solutions that cater to a wide range of budgets and requirements. The ambiance and beautiful landscape of the park together with the perfect setting of the river waters makes this a must visit place if you are travelling to the region.
The sheer presence and abundance of scenic and winding walking paths, viewpoints, teahouses and even boat rides on the lake and the theme park that houses the Wuxi Film Studios provide the majority of attractions here. While viewpoints offer elevated vantage points from where you could enjoy the beauty of the city, the boat rides provide for a thrilling yet serene adventure that you and your loved ones could enjoy together. There are a vast number of hotels and restaurants in the area that serve up an array of delicious cuisine including the much coveted Tai Lake White Fish that is considered somewhat of a delicacy. For those of you who do not want to walk around much, the monorail is also readily available as means of comfortable, convenient and safe transport. Even though the entrance fee might be on the pricey side, the fee also includes a ferry ride which is rumoured to offer some of the best low-level views of the lake around.
